exactly. Nobody goes into an interview (especially a live interview) without some agreement on what the conversation will cover.

That’s practically asking to get ambushed.

I support this.

Maybe also slap a locking ball gag on him.

No my premise is the next is vending machines with firearms. Because dystopian hellholes are like that.

Anyone seriously debating about Biden’s viability already knows Trump would be an awful fucking candidate.

This is like debating the merits of katana vs long words and then wondering why nobody is talking about longbows.

The reason to call the cops right off is so they get there faster.

If the kid is going to die in the seconds it takes to make get them rolling, they’re probably going to die outside the car, too. On the other hand, the sooner they get there, the faster they get advanced care.

Additionally, it provides a bit of legal protection, having dispatch on the phone.

Also, not even animal control will break into a car- they let the cops do that. The last time I dealt with it the cops waited for them to make the call that it was necessary.

There was a puppy in the back of an suv. The window was cracked but the puppy was in a dog crate covered in blankets. The car interior was just under the threshold at like 90 or something, but the crate when they did open it was at like 105. It was a little cocker spaniel that was the sweetest little cuddle-bug.

The assholes left the dog in the back in 90-degree weather to go to a baseball game. The worst part is that they could go pick up the dog after paying a fine. That dog deserved better humans.

I mean… you have a point. The people doing this don’t strike me as all that smart.

It might literally just be a snack machine.

I mean, you’re probably right. But I sort of rather assumed they’d be built like ATMs. which are totally easier to just steal the entire ATM and get the cash out while driving to the next ATM.

Had thought about this.

I wonder how easily these machines are to lift into a stolen UHAUL. Hypothetically one with a hastily installed wire mesh faraday cage… could probably get a lot of easily resold ammo.

It’s like this every year- absolutely packed with muggles!

So…. Basically most of the DNC consultants?

So does that mean we now get an Antipope?

Soylent was named for the movie, and given that it’s very unlikely that people would naturally confuse the products… and also the idiots at Soylent would probably find the humor in it (I mean they did name their company after it, too,)

I think it’ll be alright. Maybe, if I were hypothetically rich I’d buy them too.

Remind me again, are those the pieces with the funny hats?

You know. If I was a billionaire… I’d buy the company that makes the wafers and rename it “Soylent Green”.

I wonder how long it would take for people to figure it out.

Which one?

I’m gonna go ahead and say “absolutely not”, though, considering that [I assume you’re talking about the Christian man-god] was largely executed for his religious teachings, and the “crowds” that followed him, disrupting their control of the populace.

He might have been executed by the Roman’s, but only after a trial by the Jewish religious leaders - and only because the Roman’s started frowning at all of the other Jewish mystics they were leaving knifed in the ditches. (And that was just… untidy.)

I’m not sure why you think that’s a gotcha. I imagine the actual mystic behind those stories would be quite surprised by all the things they say he said and done.

The bigots that won’t vote for her because of that, aren’t likely voting democrat anyhow, and even if there are some… they’re not going to be convinced by five months. Especially considering how little normally gets done while everyone is off campaigning.

It would just take more time away from Harris being able to campaign.

Which the biggest problem she faces is not having enough time in front of mics and cameras; she’s done some advocacy things but none of it has made it into the national media cycle.

Honestly, I doubt very much that Harris could gain any advantage from Biden resigning. She’d have less than 5 months to do what Biden has had 3.5 years to do and couldn’t without the advantage of having nominal control of congress.

The only real chance I see is if Biden withdraws his candidacy, and proceeds to continue campaigning for whoever gets the nomination.

CP77, the vending machiens that sell disposable pistols (that suck. heh.)

you’d think that’d be a recipe for, you know, getting a bunch of armed robbers hitting you store, but nooo. totally only going to be frequented by <checks notes> good guys with a gun.

(if you’re going to rob the store, rob the machine first, yeah?)

One man’s faith is another man’s ideology.

Ultimately, the problem is religion. Religion should not be part of politics.

The irony here is that housing-first strategies are the best way to do that. They’re also the one these asshats are against.
