Need help! I can’t find a cite for #127, “Voting to remove protection from VA’s pro-gun control governor (2015)”. I remember this happening, but is it a false memory? Or perhaps it wasn’t 2015? Anyway, the VA GOP led a vote to remove standard police protection of the then-governor because of his gun control stance… I think.
Yes, 2015, and, no, your memory isn’t false: ‘I have a budget amendment that I’m looking at to take away his executive protection unit. If he’s so afraid of guns, then I’m not going to surround him with armed state policemen.’
Wow, thanks!
I found out my sister’s family has also rid their fridge of Bud Light.
I don’t think anyone’s yet mentioned the “15-minute cities” conspiracy theory, whereby idiots confuse efforts to make it possible to spend your day (work, shop, dine, play, etc.) in a 15-minute walking or biking radius of home with somehow forcibly requiring people to never go more than 15 minutes from home. 
Wiki cite. NY Times article.
I had a customer at work yesterday who was buying a case of Modelo and was being smug about how it wasn’t Bud.
Guess who owns Modelo?
Did you tell them after they paid?
Tempting, but I make a point of not getting political with customers no matter how much they may try to bait me. The closest I’ve come is when a customer told me I looked like Ted Cruz (which I kinda did before he grew that ugly beard) and I told them I wasn’t sure if that was a good thing or a bad thing.
Reminds me of the original SimCity. It kept track of traffic congestion with a tool that would detect the hotspots and complaints by citizens would pop up as a warning. The hotspots would be eliminated by building light rail routes between residential and commercial/industrial zones. Completely replacing the road network with light rail would eliminate the hotspots but not the complaints.
The manual said you could ignore them, "It’s just from the Sims who want to tool around in their gas guzzlers.
Well, they can always switch from Bud to Coors,
Coors Light has been a sponsor of the Center on Colfax and the Pride Parade and Denver PrideFest for nearly two decades,” said Molson Coors
Oooops!
Yeah. An acquaintance of mine is one of those. “Those 15 minute cities are just a plan to take our cars away. Want to go outside your 15 minute city? You’ll have to use public transit, because you won’t be allowed to own a car to go anywhere other than where the government, using bus and rail routes, lets you go to.”
Sometimes, I wish I still smoked, because when he gets going, it would be an excellent time to go out for a smoke. As it is, I just concentrate on sports on the bar TV.
“Whaddaya think, Spoons, amiright?”
“Hang on, the Red Sox have men on the corners …”
… the government builds the roads the cars use, amirite? How is that different?
(Rhetorical question, btw.)
So, ‘You can’t go anywhere other than where the government, using roads, lets you go.’?
If one uses the same logic which assumes feet do not exist, then yes, exactly.
How people associate a machine that requires registration, insurance, periodical inspections, dead dinosaurs from dictatorships, a government issued licence and a good credit score with freedom just boggles the mind.
You’d think the freedom crowd would all ride bicycles.
I ride my handcycle. I can’t afford to be oppressed.
That’s a lot of work. And your thinking is too logical. In practice, I expect that freedom crowd are more hostile to bicycle riders than the general public. They no doubt identify bicycle riding as something libs do.
I expect a freakout from some idiot over Trans brand backpacks being used by kids any day now.
Oh yes. Look up “rolling coal” some time.
I don’t have to look it up; I experience it all the time. OK, to be honest, it’s been decreasing significantly the last couple years, although it still happens.
