Politics XXXVII (The 12th Prime)
Yeah, you're correct that it has gone global but your criticisms are pretty much what I was trying to say, it'd be much better if each country or region had their own specific movements to deal with their specific issues. So maybe I'm the one not making sense here

? Would you not be better served starting your own movement rather than wishing one that started in the US was about Africa Unless you mean Bureau of Land Management in which case I got nothing

I don't suppose you have a good jerk chicken recipe that you'd be willing to share and/or recommend a good scotch bonnet hot sauce?

I would love to go back to Jamaica just for the food and music.

Our primary for the Senate is today and our choices are between Hickenlooper and Romanoff. Quite literally everyone I know voted Romanoff so I look forward to Hickenlooper's victory late tonight

What you've done today, tomorrow and yesterday
I know all the defund and abolish proposals are all over the place and I can't really get behind the more extreme ones except maybe in the most extreme cases, as it should be a case by case situation, but I do see merit in limiting what police officers respond to. Things like fireworks and noise complaints, directing traffic, mental health stuff, and other stuff where you don't an increasingly militarized police force present. As I believe you have mentioned before that adding guns to pretty much any situation can complicate matters. I don't think we'll ever move beyond the need for police but I don't think they should be the one size fits all solution that they currently are. That's not to say that nobody responds to these situations but instead of the police we create a new department to handle that load and if something turns dangerous then the police can be called.

That's not how it works and in this case I'm all for "defunding" the police. They could then have a department that deals with stupid issues like this one and you know, so armed tough guys don't have to show up at every single little thing. That way the cops can respond to the stuff that only cops can respond to.

Angry morning. Idiots have been shooting off fireworks, which are illegal where I live, every day for the past couple of months and last night they went for a record or something because I don't think they stopped until about 4 in the morning. The cops don't do anything about it and don't even check things out when called and will end the conversation immediately if you don't know the exact address of where people are firing them off. All they have to do is drive around the area for 5 minutes and they'll see and hear them. My poor dog

The TV and Streaming thread renewed
This is where I struggle the most with the show right now. I love that excitement that they have but I'm also put off by how little caution and self-control they show.

My wife laughed so hard when I showed her this. That was her biggest complaint about Janeway and one of her main complaints about the entire show.

Les Moonves is why the show got the axe though I'm also still in the fist half of the first season and I've heard it starts to get a lot better at some point

I wouldn't go that far but I was surprised how there were no repercussions for that. The Maquis never made much sense to me but I'll leave that for another day. Started another attempt at Enterprise and I'm just amazed at all the wacky adventures they get up to by just not listening to T'Pol or showing any kind of caution or restraint. I had to start back at the beginning because I've forgotten most of what I'd seen prior. Wife absolutely hates the theme song and it's always a race to hit skip into. She doesn't really care for it so far but she says it's okay for background noise our something to occasionally glance up at as long as you never think too deeply about what's going on.

Hopefully this doesn't sound too insane but I really enjoy disassembling and cleaning my firearms. I do it so often that I've added CLP to my Amazon subscriptions. Happy Father's Day! My son has been grumps for the past two days.

Reminds me of this Clip goes a little longer than this scene:/

Hopefully everyone had a good Juneteenth. I spent the day working through a bunch of issues at work only to find myself locked out in the afternoon. That's all I got

Coronavirus: Triple Edition
My dad and stepmom are finally recovering after a little over two weeks of being sick from this. My dad had it the worst and there were a couple of days where it got pretty close for him (he stopped breathing one of those nights) but since the hospitals in AZ are overfilled he didn't really have many options other than toughing it out and hoping to either pull through or pass quickly. Of course I didn't know about any of this until a day or so ago once he was feeling better.

I do sympathize with them but something has got to change eventually and hopefully sooner than later

TIL we come in packs. Tonight, I howl at the moon. But seriously, being black or white or whatever doesn't automatically mean that you are good person... or a bad one. I don't know what the point of posting that was.

At-will employees can be terminated at any time for any non illegal reasons. I think there're other provisions and exceptions in different states but I'm not well-versed on this topic.
