Apparently this tribal knowledge has not been passed down.
If someone at school is bullying you, go to any pawn shop (there’s one in every town) DO NOT GO TO THE RIFLE WALL, TURN AROUND and go to the OTHER wall, and buy one of these:
Or, if your preference is towards keyboards, something like this:
You can purchase one at any age. There is no background check. They are cheap. There is no waiting period. You can open carry them anywhere.
Take it home. Practice. Talk to other dorks that wear the same shirts you do. Start a band. Get loud. Scream about how rotten it is that everyone is against you and no one will sleep with you. Get it all out.
DO NOT KILL ANYONE.
“Joel, 44, and Lynne, 43, in Austin, Texas, with their children and 80 per cent of their gun collection.” From a series of photos by Italian photographer Gabriele Galimberti, who traveled the U.S. taking photos of Americans and their guns. See Tony Pierce’s Facebook post for more from the series.
But let’s assume that it’s just a mental health issue. Want a fix? Get more people to pick up musical instruments instead of guns. We have lots of research and evidence showing the cognitive and emotional benefits of listening and playing music, and lots of research on the deleterious effects of guns and “gun thinking.”
Pick up an instrument. Master a skill that will pay off in so many ways, from dexterity to improved brain function to confidence discipline and time management to creativity to making friends.
Before you buy into yesterday’s statement by Eric Trump — the dumbest of DonaldTrump’ssons (and he’s up against some stiffcompetition) — that Putin’s KGB training allowed him to see that Trump was a strong person…

Eric Trump is right, but not in the way he thinks. Putin did read Trump correctly, but Putin’s assessment wasn’t that Trump was a string person, but quite manifestly the opposite. Putin knew he was dealing with someone who was half-man, half-marshmallow.
Trump has said far worsethings about allies than he has about dictators. He admires dictators, in that way that weak people admire brutality, in the hope that maybe one day, they’ll get to be the oppressor. That’s not strength at all.
For your edification, here’s a selection of links that illustrate Trump’s being a Putin fanboy, the Republican Party’s and alt-right’s fandom of Russia, and of course, how it all relates to the current situation in Ukraine.
“I gotta be honest with you, I don’t really care what happens to Ukraine…I do care about the fact that in my community right now the leading cause of death among 18-45 year olds is Mexican fentanyl that’s coming across the southern border.” – @JDVance1#OHSenpic.twitter.com/nf6MUzdWM5
Even though I myself was the college boyfriend who displaced a high school one, I still said “DAAAAAAMN” after seeing this tweet…
…only to say “DAAAAAAMN” again when I read this response:
I began to wonder why there wasn’t a comedy film on the subject with the name Turkey Drop,but it turns out that one exists! It’s from 2019 and is largely forgotten. Here’s the trailer:
There will be people who will try to convince you that it’s code for “Fuck Joe Biden,” but that’s not the case. The “Fuck Joe Biden” crowd are supposed to be strong First Amendment supporters who back up their words with the Second Amendment, and wouldn’t hide behind a a weasel-word phrase in such a scaredy-cat grade school fashion.
