Yes, Veterans on Patrol took credit for the attack, and said they planned to attack others.

Any tips for properly hopping a fence? I may want to use that information for good.

We are living in a period of anti-science irrationality, tied with the rise of global fascism.

A significant portion of the US’s population (roughly 1 in 5) believes in Q-anon, Wayfair child trafficking conspiracies, “Frazzledrip” (a supposed video where Hillary Clinton murders a child and drinks their blood for ‘adrenochrome’), etc etc.

I believe Lauren Boebart posted shit about the weather weapons on her Twitter. A good chunk of our elected officials believe this insanity too (remember how fluoridation programs just got nixed). The Oklahoma state GOP platform literally includes a desire to shut down 5G.

Rolling coal should be considered a symptom of mental illness.

Like, why?

The Venn diagram of people who do that shit and think that NOAA has evil HAARP weather weapons is probably a circle.

Its likely that this person was involved with “Veterans on Patrol”, a group that has sent threats to weather stations because they believe that radar are “weather weapons.”

Border patrol still participates in human trafficking, rape and murder.

Bro - I was literally a fucking teacher during the peak of that moral panic. I spend more time every day with teenagers than half of you on this thread do. Every kid knew it was a fucking joke. A handful of children actually did it on purpose, and like every moral outrage/hysteria it became “teens are doing this wild crazy thing!”

Yes, teenagers do dumb fucking shit all of the time. It’s not the shit the media picks up on for the viral clicks.

The real shit teens are actually doing is vaping shady carts and creating massive group chats to bully each other with naked pictures. But that doesn’t sell the same kinds of ad impressions as “there’s a stupid TikTok video that when viral so we are going to assume this is a massive regular thing that hundreds of children are doing.” Talking about those issues involves parents having to, you know, parent but instead it’s gotta be about stupid shit.

The real “hiding under a rock” is being distracted by the newest stupid TikTok video instead of dealing with the things teenagers actually do.

Did you know that cognitively delayed teenagers exist?

Check real quick - I think “gullible” is written on your ceiling. Watch out, I hear human traffickers are putting fentanyl laced roses on car doors.

> How does one unintentionally eat a tide pod?

Did you see the part where only half of those ingestions were intentional?

You would be freaking out about rainbow parties and snap bracelets in the 90s.

Do creative people have viable paths to income that aren’t social media?

How does one survive as an artist or a small film maker, when there is no patronage, government funding for museums is constantly on the chopping block, and any form of art you make is going to be uploaded whether you like it or not?

Our society essentially has no paths to success for creative types other than social media - especially with C-suites deciding that they’d rather use the plagiarism machine to make slop than hire actual content makers and artists?

Making things like clip art used to be a job. You used to be able to paint signs. There was work for mid level artists. Now, your options are trying to go viral on social media/hunt for commissions.

You get this a joke?

Children were never eating tide pods either.

Doublespeak. Take away women’s rights (you know for damn sure that “no fault” divorce and DV support are what Heritage is slavering to cut next) and have a bunch of “feminists” claim that the most important priority in women’s rights is the exclusion of trans women. Not the fact that women are dying because they can’t get reproductive healthcare, not the fact that Adriana Smith was a fucking zombie incubator (in a scene that mirrors something in the Handmaids Tale tv show) - the fact that a trans woman might take a leak in the women’s restroom or be on the women’s team in a fencing competition.

It’s so vibes based.

If you try to nail one of them with persistent Müllerian duct, it’s a “defect” and doesn’t count.

There are tons of otherwise cis men walking around with ovaries.

For all the insistence that they know “basic biology” they fucking don’t.

Price is a really wacky guy, and even he will admit he’s very much on the fringe. I would suggest Dan McClellan or Bart Ehrman over him.

Did you know that people who aren’t right wing conservatives live in red states?

What’s rent for a one bedroom apartment? My Spanish isn’t great but it’s tolerable. Any science or math teacher openings in your area lol?

I imagine border security into the country is easier than the other way around.

Everything does honestly. I have unmedicated adhd I think. Been meaning to take some wipes to it.

Honestly been looking into it. If things go south enough, I’ve thought about driving down that way. Closer than Canada. I’d have to get through Texas, but teaching math in Mexico City sounds nice.

Border control has historically hired the least qualified people.
