Rule of thumb: when your actions are determined primarily by making sure *someone else* doesn't go to hell, that's an essential indicator that your religion has taken the turn to the toxic variety.
To be fair, I don't really trust whoever put up the Georgia Guidestones, either. That's weird conspiracy nuts on all sides, to the best of my knowledge.
There is a spot in Nth Carolina with the Ten Commandments big enough to be seen from passing aircraft. They also had the largest Christian cross in the world at the time.
If Saudi Arabia had just bombed the place, they would have claimed that it was provocation or the like.
As they get more and more unhinged and start screaming about secret signs in daffodils, more and more people will be all...hey, man, I don't even know you.
<Soon after Ms. Gendreau’s remarks about the mural, residents began flooding the local paper with angry letters. A local bank asked her to resign from its board of directors, she said, pointing to the “hurt” she had caused; she complied.

It's one person causing this, not the whole state.
It's not so much "Live Free or Die" so much as it is "Live and Let Live", mostly. Oh, sure, we have people in my town who put a "No Child Porn Library, vote no on 2" sign on their truck but they are in the minority.
It's that one woman, Carrie Gendreau. I've been to Littleton and know someone who owns a business there. Like a lot of NH towns, it's a 50/50 split of ideologies. Most people get along and respect beliefs but it's zealots like this woman who stir up the trouble.
She's a Bob Jones University graduate. NH is one of the most agnostic states there is. That stuff doesn't play well here but it's a loud minority because of press coverage. If out of 10 people, 2 believe her garbage, the press cover it as 50/50, you know, one side and one side, not weighted in how many believe what.
ooo I know how a rental can have ill-eagle tinted windows!
He rented it from another state that does not have that stupid ass law. And being Canadian, dude probably did not realize that different states have different laws even about small things like that, and just thought it was cool.
If so, add "out of state rental" to the actual reason he was yanked besides DWB. The two in combination were probably irresistible to the cops.
Is he still pretending that anyone, anywhere wants the "metaverse" to be a thing? It's a product in search of a customer that does not and will never exist...
Lots of people use AI for various things, but there are so many AI companies around now that there's not going to be any way to monetize it. Who's going to pick FacebookAI for $10 a month, when MicrosoftAI is built into the OS and it's free?
It's the browser wars all over again, only way stupider this time.
Honestly, I am still in awe. I have no clue how you could so many nails and screws in such small space, and still leave an inch of air between the things are you are "connecting".
10/10 Would watch Canadian Law & Order
got rick-rolled. never expected that from Our Canadian Boyfriend.
A good Rick Roll never gets old!
Reading this, I had cinematic caper music running through my head, featuring Breton accordions.

Great record. Toots does all those older songs justice.
Why does goD keep sending tornadoes through the Bibbly Belt? Must be angry about something!
After having my house shake yesterday, I'm calling "too soon" on this one. In my case it was just a severe thunderstorm, but, meh.
goD probably hates all the hypocrazy.
World Kitchen set to resume operations in Gaza.
Trucks with food for 8 million meals and volunteers to began cooking again.
Love.
Your move BIBI!
Does he have the strike coordinates yet?
who then knocks over various pieces, shits on the board, shits on the timeclock...
Takes your queen, shoves it up his ass and screams "SO THERE!"
If you need heroes you could do worse than World Kitchen.
If you need saints you could do worse than World Kitchen.
TRVTH!!
All those cosplaying weekenders should take a note as to what true courage and heroism is.

US buys 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Russia's ally costing on average less than $20,000 each, report says
The US has purchased 81 Soviet-era combat aircraft from Kazakhstan, a report from the Kyiv Post says.
Kazakhstan, a historic ally of Russia, is engaging more with Western nations.
The planes could be used for spare parts or as decoys in conflict regions, the Kyiv Post reported.
https://www.businessinsider.com/us-buys-81-soviet-fighter-jets-from-russian-ally-20k-2024-4
Send it to Ukraine. I'm certain they would get maximum use from it.

Get all 'Georgia Guidestones' on it baby!
Dynamite is the only true response to anything that makes a white conservative uncomfortable.
To be fair, I don't really trust whoever put up the Georgia Guidestones, either. That's weird conspiracy nuts on all sides, to the best of my knowledge.
It was a bit eccentric, but essentially harmless.
There is a spot in Nth Carolina with the Ten Commandments big enough to be seen from passing aircraft. They also had the largest Christian cross in the world at the time.
If Saudi Arabia had just bombed the place, they would have claimed that it was provocation or the like.
Not all opinions are valid, and no, I don't need to show respect to the idea that there are secret subversive messages in dandelions.
The anagram of dandelion is 'Denial Don'. Checkmate liberal!
only one letter and a comma away from 'niet, donald'.
So were the dandelions the fluffy ones? I don't care for them in my yard, but the fluffy ones are kinda cute.
I view dandelions in the yard, like buttercups, clover and violets, as free flowers I did not have to buy.
Plus, the bees like em
My dandelions bring all the boys to the yard
And they're like, it's better than yours
No mow May starts Wednesday
We don't mow, we mulch ^.^

Edit: Mind, these are the same people pushing to have christian shit put up all over schools and other public venues.
But don't you dare paint an iris!
One must be very vigilant of the Woke these days!
It's everywhere.
Oh, shit, it's behind me right now, isn't it?
Yeah. Awake even!
Yeah, but it is 3:45 out here and I should be sound asleep.
Hey, that's now here too!
So many stooopitts. So few mallets.
you know, this is actually good.
As they get more and more unhinged and start screaming about secret signs in daffodils, more and more people will be all...hey, man, I don't even know you.

Ah so it Tore A Town Apart because some people were being utter assholes.
It’s NH friend, forget about it.

NYT being fast and loose with the "tear the town apart" idea? YOU DONT SAY
lol what I figured. More exposed "asshole" to "the rest of em"
It's not so much "Live Free or Die" so much as it is "Live and Let Live", mostly. Oh, sure, we have people in my town who put a "No Child Porn Library, vote no on 2" sign on their truck but they are in the minority.
I have the feeling it did not Tear The Town Apart so much as expose "assholes" to "the rest of them"

'making computers useful' sounds like work, and it might take a while to bear fruit.
Why wait when we can sell irresponsible hype TODAY?
I agree that making computers bear fruit would be useful because I want a nice juicy orange. RIGHT NOW!
You sir, get an M&R Enterprises Pennywhistle 103 Acoustic Coupler Modem!
The ACME modems are the samn damn thing but rebranded.
But, hey! THANKS!!
Frankly, I, for one, am in favor of making computers useful.

They should all refuse any so-called "medical" attention. Fucking primitives.

That reminds me, I gotta schedule my next shot..
Getting mine this week, good thing I don't live in AZ I guess.
Ooooooh, the AZ Repub. Party---so surprising and scary.
Arizonastan, gottdamn. It's time to call the Orkin Man on those republicant blockheads.
These chucklefucks really want Arizona to be a blue state, don't they.

Artificial Income
Is he still pretending that anyone, anywhere wants the "metaverse" to be a thing? It's a product in search of a customer that does not and will never exist...
It seems FB' use of AI is the same: in search of customers.
Lots of people use AI for various things, but there are so many AI companies around now that there's not going to be any way to monetize it. Who's going to pick FacebookAI for $10 a month, when MicrosoftAI is built into the OS and it's free?
It's the browser wars all over again, only way stupider this time.
Jebus!! Even AI God is terrible with money!
Zuckerfuck is just another over-hyped white frat boy techbro whose dumb idea made him rich. He couldn't manage a Quik-E-Mart.
He could barely manage toilet paper.
Quality inspected.

Just... no.
Somebody had to try to do a job that crappy. The framer (I hate to call them a carpenter) and inspector should be fired.
Honestly, I am still in awe. I have no clue how you could so many nails and screws in such small space, and still leave an inch of air between the things are you are "connecting".
I couldn't do that, even if you paid me money.
That wasn't a carpenter. More like a jellyfish taxidermist.
