Thinky Crow

I have a name for this, and it’s “hypocrisy hypocrisy”. We all know perfectly well Rebekuh here does not want ID requirements to be uniform between voting and guns. She wants ID for guns, but NOT for voting. Earth to moron: YOU ARE JUST AS BIG A HYPOCRITE AS THOSE YOU ACCUSE.

“You know, there is one thing that evil cannot stand; and that is forgiveness.”

@SPHdeORD @HelmerVA Sure, and when they predict 'armageddon' and 'blood in the streets' from things such as the Bruen decision; yet crime and violence then goes DOWN… I guess they have no obligation to admit their predictions were completely wrong.

@ThinkyCrow @HelmerVA The psychology favors fear mongering. There is no backlash for the politician. Then a fear is stoked. Then the fix comes along. Now he can claim to have eliminated the violence. And with no one getting killed confirmation bias kicks in.

After years of work and multiple vetoes, the assault weapons ban I authored has been signed into law - the first in the South. We’ve taken on the gun lobby, passed it through the legislature, and now delivered. This is a major step toward safer communities across Virginia.

@squirrlactual I’m talking about things you’re socially expected to say in response to someone ELSE’S bodily function.

@ThinkyCrow Yeah, but I say it's almost ritualistic at this point.

Unpopular opinion: saying “bless you” or whatnot after someone sneezes is a pointless and stupid practice. We don’t say anything after someone coughs, hiccups, burps, or farts. There’s no reason to do it after a sneeze. It’s a silly superstition going back to the black plague.

@SusieM414141 If this is real, she should call her local news. Get 7 on your side. They would LOVE a story like this and would embarrass city hall into backing down.

I feel like this is my kind of luck. This woman got her license suspended, and they are asking for a money order for zero dollars and zero cents for her fine. Obviously, the clerk she's asking doesn't understand.

@squirrlactual But you say that after YOU fart.

@ThinkyCrow You don't ask anyone if they smell popcorn after you fart? Get on my level.

@lilpookiepooks That would at least be funny.

@ThinkyCrow I am of the inverse opinion. We should begin blessing people when they fart.

@Sassafrass_84 Probably nothing good. The issue was never that he was a stand-up guy. The point is that he shouldn’t be 𝘿𝙀𝘼𝘿.

Probably still being a criminal.

@iamalmostlegend No, the electoral college had nothing to do with slavery. You’re thinking of the 3/5 compromise. Which btw, counting slaves as one whole person is what the 𝙨𝙡𝙖𝙫𝙚 states wanted. Counting slaves as population gave slave states more power in the federal government.

Slavery. That simple.

@iamalmostlegend @gelenyarilez No, that was the 3/5 compromise. The electoral college and the 3/5 compromise don’t really have anything to do with one another.

@gelenyarilez In this context, it’s the creation of the electoral college that was due to how enslaved people were counted.

@PancakesRevenge @alphafox Practically nothing, because people have largely abandoned physical media. This is why for the select few it’s attractive.

@ThinkyCrow @alphafox I'll be honest, I don't remember the last time I bought physical media. What are DVDs and Blu-Rays going for these days?

People are ditching their streaming services and going back to DVDs after recent price hikes from streaming providers - good idea?

@Mrgunsngear I keep asking them if there’s a huge rash of musket crimes being committed that I’m unaware of.

The Associated Press shared this video with the caption below. If they're worried about muskets being unregulated - wait until they learn about cannons 😎 On a serious note, it's another example of how these boot licking statists have never met a gun, even a musket, they don't want you to have but do want armed agents of the state to have. King George would agree.... "A musket from 1776 can fire a lead ball at a velocity of around 1,000 feet per second. Imagine what that can do to a human body. Yet under federal and most state laws, it’s exempt from gun regulations. Many antique or replica guns aren’t considered firearms and even convicted felons can own them." #government #media #2nd #1st #musket #AP #MindVirus #CivilRights #history

@jeremyct ALLOW ME TO TELL YOU ABOUT THIS CONCEPT CALLED DEDUCTIONS

HOT TAKE: IF BUSINESSES ONLY HAVE TO PAY TAXES ON PROFIT, NOT REVENUE, THEN I SHOULD ONLY HAVE TO PAY TAXES AFTER I'VE PAID ALL MY BILLS AND RENT.

@PancakesRevenge @alphafox If you’re being throttled down to standard definition, your Internet is so slow that even browsing would be difficult. YouTube doesn’t even consider 720p “high-def” anymore, and that's better than DVD. Thrift stores are full of Blu-ray players that cost about as much as DVD.

@ThinkyCrow @alphafox Depending on your internet connection, many people are probably streaming DVD quality video. Also, Blu-Ray players are more expensive although if you have a newer game console that isn't digital-only it probably plays Blu-Rays.

@SPHdeORD @HelmerVA It would be much easier if elected officials didn’t spread false information to intentionally stoke those irrational fears.

@ThinkyCrow @HelmerVA There is a fear people have over semiautomatic long guns being able to kill from afar. Handgun violence, the real killer, seems avoidable by staying away from bad areas. It can be hard to accept data to drive decisions when fears live close to the surface of the conscious.

@Blackdaveforus I love how the doctor kills the wrong person, and then reacts like he gave a kid grape flavored medicine instead of the cherry they asked for.

A must watch 🥺❤️

@Akwa_Ugo_ @dofficial_vela Tearing up his work without even reading it?

@dofficial_vela The professor is actually doing what's right for him

Professor Refuses to Give Student Special Treatment

@win4lynn @HumansNoContext Oh, is being a woman bad?

@HumansNoContext to the men who don't pay on first dates: what kind of tampons are you using?

@JesterJum @JosieBedlam Indeed. Abolish property taxes.

If we can't be taxed on unrealized gains, why the fuck are we being taxed on the new increased valuation of our home without selling it? THAT'S UNREALIZED GAINS!

@MorosKostas They also can’t explain why mailing handguns is so dangerous, but mailing long guns is apparently just fine.

They aren't "anti-violence advocates," they are gun ban advocates. The Trace should stop with the euphemisms. If they were anti-violence advocates, they would admit they were wrong and withdraw their demand for gun control laws when the violence they predicted did not come to pass. But they never do that. For example, let's say this handgun mailing thing goes into effect, a couple of years pass, and there is no increase in any crime attributable to this change. A truly anti-violence advocate would say "OK, I guess we were wrong, we withdraw our opposition to this, mailing handguns under these USPS procedures is fine." But a gun ban advocate won't make the same concession, because banning guns - and not stopping violence - is the real goal. Also, the use of "anti-violence" advocates implies their opposition is pro-violence, which is also BS.
