That's worse than my time in Missouri. And I wasn't in no fuckin' St. Louis.
"I am that worst of all type of criminal...I cannot bring myself to do what you tell me, because you told me."

There's over 100 of us in this meat-suit. You'd think it runs like a ship, but it's more like a hundred and ten angry ghosts having an old-school QuakeWorld tournament, three people desperately trying to make sure the gamers don't go hungry or soil themselves, and the Facilities manager weeping in the corner as the garbage piles high.

I've been watching these little panels where they get a bunch of people who disagree about everything, but share one demographic feature. For example, black conservatives vs black liberals. Or women with a variety of opinions about feminism.

The black conservatives vs black liberals one was interesting because there were some well spoken conservatives. It was actually kind of refreshing, in a way, to listen to thoughts from Trump supporters who aren't racist idiots? (not that black people can't be racist -- just that racism was clearly not their reason for voting for Trump)

It started me thinking about how in the post-trump years, we're going to need to recover from polarization, and a key piece of that is building coalitions between liberals and conservatives ... which also made me examine my media diet a little more.


I had a moment of going "maybe we can actually come back to sanity one day"


But then I saw this shit and my blood pressure went through the roof again


https://www.newsweek.com/us-border-patrol-accused-forcing-migrant-families-sleeping-outside-wake-stand-1382858

QuoteThe complaint details a series of alleged abuses reported to ACLU lawyers by former detainees at the site, now shut down, including migrant families being forced to sleep on rocky terrain for up to four nights in temperatures that dropped into the 30s, with only Mylar sheets to protect them. It also alleges that asylum seekers were forced to wake up every three hours and stand in what Texas Monthly magazine called a "sleep deprivation tactic."

QuoteAccording to the complaint, asylum seekers also claimed there was a "lack of adequate medical care, food and water," in addition to verbal abuse from Border Patrol agents and harassment by one individual Border Patrol agent, who asylum seekers said sprayed them with water from water bottles.

Speaking to Texas Monthly, one asylum seeker, identified only by his first name, Carlos, said he believed that what Border Patrol agents "were trying to do was hurt us psychologically, so we would understand that this is a lesson we were being taught, that we shouldn't have crossed."

Speaking at an El Paso shelter where he and his family were staying temporarily, he added: "We felt that what they were teaching us is, as Latino immigrants, that we should let our families know that there was this big risk [in coming to the United States]. But regardless, it was worth it, because even though we had to go through this big risk with our children, we're in better conditions now."

great, so the people we put in concentration camps are being starved and deprived of sleep too



what the fuck is happening to this country?

I, missed a lot... what, exactly is the reason behind "brexit"?.. I feel like an utter fool for having to ask.

IIRC They'd rather sink into obscurity and irrelevance by themselves than be relevant as part of a group.

There's no way they stumbled on 3 hours by accident, either.

3 hours = 180 minutes.  Your body goes into its 3rd, deep sleep cycle after this. The brain produces delta waves and ultimately goes into REM sleep if some asshole with a gun doesn't wake them beforehand.

It's literally torture, and there's no way someone didn't tell them exactly how long they could be left to sleep before interrupting them for.

I've experienced torture regarding being able to sleep.

It's common in homeless shelters across the USA. Feel free to look it up. It usually gets called something like "bed checks". And yeah, the intervals are consistently 3 hour ones, at least in Western PA and Northern California.

I'm a sixth gen Texan... I don't think anyone with a brain wants black people to "go away", what the fuck, only some stupid, hooded screeching idiot thinks that... ok maybe most of the south is like that.

And in the UK too, though you'd have to include the Midlands and North of England too. Like I just discovered that my next door neighbour voted Brexit a] to cause chaos (and not the good sort) and b] because "there are too many darkies in Wolverhampton".
Another neighbour reckons he just wants to live in a "white christian country". I did point out that he shouldn't have voted for Brexit then because so many catholic churches are being kept going by the influx of nice white christians from Poland etc, but he wasn't having any of that. Then last week he said he thinks that we should nuke Pakistan . . . "Too many Muslims?" I asked, and he just smiled sheepishly. I'm starting to get used to living in a mad-house, but I'm not sure that I am really enjoying it

What ever happened to us having a monopoly on chaos?

I swear to god this makes me want to kill myself, seriously? Can we pretend they said something about a magickal pony realm?

I, spent, most of the evening talking to my payee, she is an adorable black woman, topics we end up discussing might be strange, I guess except for my rant about "There is no fucking WAY Jesus was white..."

FYI, Jesus wasn't white.

Given that he was an allegory for an astrological observation, yeah, he wasn't white. He was yellow. Really fucking bright - don't stare at the fucker or you'll melt your retina - yellow. :lulz:

I always forget that the p3nt who knows a ton of shit is the same as the p3nt who makes awesome fuckin 3d art and they're both the same as the crude, loveable asshole p3nt (responsible iirc for the long lost swear forum)

Then posts like this blend two of these disparate entities by being a rotten bastard about mithra (you know how many people off this forum I know who know that shit? Like, one) or something and I take a minute to get my train of thought back on the rails. Inevitably I will forget they are the same people and be surprised again

P3nt this is me, drunk/high off of toxins created by food borne bacteria and mild fever, saying I want you to post more, thanks

Of course not, he was Jewish. He would've looked like Jerry Seinfeld or Woody Allen or Mel Brooks

EDIT:
or Adam Sandler
