  • I generally wait for them to label themselves. They are itching to do so. Only reason they don’t all walk around with their hate symbols on display is because they will damage parts of their lives, like their careers.

    Back in the day, when I went to lots of of metal, punk, and industrial shows, nazis, and other WP assholes, would show up to shows. You had 2 choices, drive them out with violence, or end up with a nazi club. People with these types of ideologies only understand that might makes right, the language of which is violence.












  • He was 17 when that happened, and you aren’t allowed to make that category of donation, in PA, until 18. Second there is a ZIP code attached to the public record of all donors, the ZIP for the only Thomas Crooks is one for a district in Pittsburgh. This district has one Thomas Crooks, a 69 year old man. While Thomas Crooks the shooter is from Bethel Park. I have screen shots of the information, but every time I try to post an image in the comment it just doesn’t show up.




  • Started in a new school. Had to begin attending before I actually moved to the new house. First class the teacher says I am to spend the first week observing the class, and getting an idea how it functions. I will not be required to participate, or do work, until the start of the next week. At the end of that week he calls me over to his desk and, in a clearly annoyed tone, asks me why I had done no work that week. So I told him he said I wasn’t supposed to, not until the upcoming Monday. He then tells me I should have taken the initiative to do work anyway, even when told I didn’t have too. This showed I was lazy, and then he said I was being a smart ass for “using his words against him” for reminding him what the instruction, he gave me, was.

    So I said, if you tell people not to do something, don’t expect them to do it. I can’t just know that they want the opposite of what is asked for. So he said he is gonna call my parents and tell them all about this. Then he asks for my phone number. I didn’t know it, we got into the new house the night before and all we had was suitcases, boxes, and mattresses on floors. So he tells me that trying to hide it won’t help, the office will have my number. So I tell him to get it from them, as I didn’t know the phone number yet. He calls my mom, and tells her “You know, your son acted like he didn’t know his own phone number, like that would stop me from calling” and my mom informs him that the phone was activated 2 days ago, and that I don’t know it. Then she said he huffed and then said “well the problem is, he didn’t do any of the work this week”. and she then told him I was informed not to, in fact, he put it in writing, and sent the outline of what he expected from me, home, on my first day.

    This motherfucker held a grudge until the day I no longer saw him again. He even lied about the situation to other teachers, so when I started their classes, I got a lot of “Oh, Mr. Heckman (real name, fuck him) told me about you” in a sardonic tone. This started a 2.5 year shit storm with this school, that ended with them paying my tuition to go somewhere else.



  • That is how language works. It starts off small, then it catches on over time, and after a long time has passed, it either gets filtered out, or it becomes commonly used. The case for literally being used, for reasons other than its original one, started a couple hundred years ago. Today it is super commonly used that way, as it didn’t get abandoned. You are mad at the nature of the beast.


  • I can tell you how that guy is a cop. He started off meeting physical requirement however, after he had been there for years, he either was injured, or something, that put him on permanent desk duty, and ballooned up, but it doesn’t matter now, he is on desk duty forever. That or he had been there for years, and became obese over that time, but had enough seniority they just stuck him with an admin/desk job until he retires.

    Don’t know if it was, but firemen tend to dislike police. I am also getting the idea EMT are getting to that point now. Close friends of the family have been in both of these fields for a long time. They, and all their friends, from their prospective work, feel derision for police. The firemen openly mocked them as long as I knew them, and the EMTs have been getting less, and less, friendly with the police in the last decade.
