As an individual territory, the U.S. is isolated. As an empire, we have bases on every continent. The risk isn't being killed. It's being declawed.

Not advocating for American imperialism, just clarifying the point.

I don't even know why I clicked. I knew exactly what this was.

Am I alone in thinking it was Cameron Crowe's best movie? He seems like a self-indulgent little shit, but remaking Open Your Eyes with Tom Cruise playing a millionaire incapable of self-reflection but simultaneously obsessed with torturing himself with a fake reality seemed almost inspired.

Ah, yes. One of those good Jim Crow policies.

My brother-in-law has one of these trucks. He still lives with his parents, doesn't tow or haul anything, and works as a janitor. He's paying $350/month on the loan just so he can feel cool.

No, capitalism is feudalism with loot boxes! Because I could win the lottery.

If you've met any Long Islanders, this tracks.

That last point is why I couldn't play Fallout 4. My son was kidnapped, my spouse was killed, and I need to find out who did it and where they are! Right after I save a library, build a town, and solve some detective mysteries, I guess.

Because last time his number one policy promise was to build a wall and have Mexico pay for it. And his number two promise was an alternative to Obamacare.

He's not so great at following through with his promises. That's the only thing non-MAGAs have going for them: he's pretty incompetent.

I bought one when they first came out, and one when they did the $5 liquidation sale when they were discontinued. I wish I'd bought more, just to be safe.

Does your town have a grocery store selling goods at exactly cost?

No, you're describing a co-op. Which my town does have, right across the street from the for-profit grocery store.

A buddy of mine got "OUCH" on the inside of his lip. Ironically, it hurt a lot less than the piece on his shin.

For real. Any gun I could obtain as a private citizen is not going to stand up to the weight of the police, let alone the US military if a true authoritarian regime took over. My right to a hunting rifle doesn't matter when they have tanks and drones.
