Wizard and Glass will break your heart anyway, no need to live on.

“True love, like any other strong and addicting drug, is boring — once the tale of encounter and discovery is told, kisses quickly grow stale and caresses tiresome… except, of course, to those who share the kisses, who give and take the caresses while every sound and color of the world seems to deepen and brighten around them. As with any other strong drug, true first love is really only interesting to those who have become its prisoners. And, as is true of any other strong and addicting drug, true first love is dangerous.”

Worse:

“And now, all these years later, it seemed to him that the most horrible fact of human existence was that broken hearts mended.”

In 1989 I translated Sweet Child of Mine into French for my girlfriend. Poetry! So stick that in your pipe and smoke it.

Of all the books I’ve read, I cannot answer this question for The Gunslinger. If you like Stephen King you’ll almost certainly like the novels. But each one is very different from the others. LOL, I’m not sure there’s a fan who loves every book.

Isn’t that the joke?

Jesus fucking Christ, I sometimes feel like one of the more violent motherfuckers on here, but advocating for hanging this child is beyond even me.

Me: Get armed, learn safety and local laws, practice. Fascism is here. It’s here now. Fighting back may end in your personal extinction.

Mods: BANNED

Also lemmy: “Hang this punk kid!”

Mods: Meh. I’ll allow it.

A Palos Heights police officer has been disciplined and retrained

That is automatic fired in any place I’ve worked IT.

The detective stated it was “common” to allow others in the group to use his login for drug investigations

That’s an investigation in any place I’ve worked IT.

State legislation prohibits Illinois license plate reader data from being used for immigration enforcement purposes.

Like that matters.

Meh, read the damned article. It’s more damning than I can post about.

As usual, I’ll sign off by saying, get strapped, learn gun safety and local laws, practice, be ready to fucking die in a firefight. Human rights will never come cheap to defend. But in no case lie down for this shit. Don’t have a “brown people” pic, but they’re as important as any of us.

If your life is more important than your liberty, you do you, I will not judge. But I’ve made my own decision on the matter.

Reminds me of NYC cops bragging about taking away pellet guns.

“You… you can’t be serious?!”

And guess where ICE is operating. I’ll give you three guesses, but you’re only going to need one.

Seems like the law was meant to exclude the full-size Swiss army knife. They’re great for most pocket knife purposes! But having damaged nerves on two fingertips from non-locking knives, yeah, I won’t touch one. Although the “classic” is a great everyday pocket knife!

Funny enough, I was hiking today with a small "Rambo knife affixed to my backpack strap. Do I need that on a hike in the woods? LOL, hardly ever. But it’s nice to have when I do need it.

Thanks for saying all that! We’re clearly on the same page.

FFS, you can’t carry a 3" pocket knife and if you carry any pocket knife it has to be the dangerous kind that doesn’t lock.

Used to be! When I was a kid and we had 3 or 4 TV stations to choose from, and they all pretty much reported the same factual news. Being seen as having a bias was poisonous. People picked a news anchor to watch according to how trustworthy they felt he was. Imagine that!
