we got perfectly legal weed down here. matter of fact, i'm loading up for the holidays this afternoon

did it ever exist? i see zero costumes anywhere and that's not ok.

where in the spooky fuck is the halloween costumes thread?

somewhere on the coast of quintana roo, mx

ok just checking. i've done all of these things enough times to have opinions, but never done all of them at the same time. i'll grind that achievement out and get back to you.

this website right now

helps with the sex, or with catching the rona?

i think i'm at the point where i'm going to change an old habit. used to make a notch on the old bedpost whenever i'd do the sex with someone new, but i quit adding notches to that post like 15 years ago. now i'm gonna notch it whenever i catch the rona. i'm up to 3 notches already. we'll see if i can achieve a higher score on this one than the other one...

New rescue and OMFG. Maybe a month old, abandoned by people or turned away/lost by a stray mama, and we picked her up on Friday in the alley out behind the bar. Had her for 48 hours and she's already tame, housebroken, and getting along with the other kitties. 🥹

I have an old 5' steering shaft that does the job nicely. We flattened one end and put a point on the other end. It's a damn beast.

Still points North when the wind is right. I hear I missed another snafu or two round here lately. You been keeping your nose clean? Metaphorically speaking, of course.

I need to go to the hardware store for a tamper and a post hole auger. And I need to get a few more tons of rock dropped off. So much work left to do. I can't find the motivation to leave the house today. Wtf is this wimpy shit.

there's a trump rally 20 minutes from here tomorrow night, and the fucking weirdos are already starting to filter thru. after the scotus rulings yesterday and today, i'm sure there's gonna be some shit go down. i haven't heard rumblings of any protests in the works for the rally, but i'm sure they're coming. nat'l guard is already moving in via air and road convoys. should be a fun weekend

Yeah, that's why it only has a couple rounds of that left. I'm already planning a full remodel once I have ADA compliance for building egress finished later this summer. None of the bar is compliant, and so I can't do much of anything in the way of improvements until I can do all of the egress stuff as well. The men's room is basically just a closet with a trough, from like 1970. The plumbing? Same age, probably. No traps on floor drains. Neighboring properties tied in. It's like a plumber's wet dream / nightmare.

I use sulphuric acid in the urinal drain at the bar, only as a last resort. People push their chew and straws thru the grate, and wash all other manner of nasty dude bits down there. Eventually it builds up and clogs, and I have to pull out the tools and grind the buildup out. If I can't get the snake to punch thru, that's when it's time for the acid bath. I figure those pvc pipes have a few more baths in them before it's time to replace the lot.

Got the jeeper creeper all stripped down for the weekend

i like what you're doing here, drawing festive parallels btw russia and us, but i'm not really in the debate mood right now.

i guess we could, if you can reasonably assume the fed and private banking systems are under total control of the gov't, and nobody decides to blow dat whistle.

pretty much my thoughts as well

ttly not being propped up by "creative" monetary policy. also, putin's reassuring his people that western sanctions have failed. i guess either both statements are accurate, or neither are.

any additions to NATO that encroach on RUS' western border are taken by the kremlin as signs of aggression. i don't know the exact terms of the agreement, but i want to say putin takes the baltic expansion of NATO as a violation of the agreement (that was actually enacted before the fall of the USSR so the treaty was already outdated in the early 90's). sweden isn't actually on the border of russia, but sweden's status shift will be taken as a clear offensive gesture towards russia. why sweden chose this particular conflict as its last straw? i don't have that answer. perhaps it has something to do with the notion that neutrality is no longer the apolitical position it once was. if you're not specifically in favor of [x], then you effectively support its opposition. i just love this brave new world.

i believe the point they're making is that neutrality is no longer a responsible position.

so you're using my own link to justify some more word salad. k. y'know, just because the u.s. may have made some very bad decisions over the years, that doesn't mean you need to excuse the bad decisions being made by other countries in real time. it's your thing, i get it, but it's tiresome.

i'm not about to argue with nabs when he's obviously not bringing anything of merit to the table. so i'ma just leave a few recent headlines here and let him "educate" himself a bit. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/04/03/world/europe/ukraine-russia-war-civilian-deaths.html - In the Kyiv Suburb of Bucha, ‘They Shot Everyone They Saw’ https://www.theguardian.com/world/video/2022/apr/13/ukraine-21000-civilians-estimated-killed-in-mariupol-says-mayor-video - 21,000 civilians estimated killed in Mariupol, says mayor (that's just 1 city) https://www.cnn.com/2022/04/11/europe/ukraine-demining-russian-bombs-intl/index.html - "They deliberately did everything to ensure that the return to these areas after de-occupation was as dangerous as possible." https://theweek.com/russo-ukrainian-war/1012441/russian-troops-systematically-raped-25-women-girls-as-young-as-14-in-a - Russian troops 'systematically raped' 25 women, girls as young as 14 in a Bucha basement https://www.rferl.org/a/russia-rape-ukraine-allegations-war-crimes/31800013.html - 'Part Of Russia's Arsenal': Allegations Of Rape By Russian Forces In Ukraine Are Increasing https://www.businessinsider.com/russia-to-fast-track-adoption-of-deported-ukraine-orphans-kyiv-officials-2022-4 - Ukrainian officials say more than 121,000 children have been forcibly deported to Russia now let's look at those headlines in the context of "genocide" per nabs' dismissal on his very strict definition: https://www.vox.com/23020696/ukraine-russia-genocide-allegations - Is what’s happening in Ukraine “genocide?” “Genocide” is not merely a word for mass killing in general. In international law, per the 1948 Genocide Convention, it refers to any of the following five acts if they are “committed with intent to destroy, in whole or in part, a national, ethnical, racial or religious group:” (a) Killing members of the group; ✓ (b) Causing serious bodily or mental harm to members of the group; ✓ (c) Deliberately inflicting on the group conditions of life calculated to bring about its physical destruction in whole or in part; ✓ (d) Imposing measures intended to prevent births within the group; ✓ (e) Forcibly transferring children of the group to another group. ✓

seems india had been pretty clear about its support for russia until ...
