Gun Control III - the Gunnening

[The Chuck]

All I know is that if I ever get my own company... I'll be practically uninsurable... One of the major things I want of a personal company would be for employees to be able to CC or open carry at work but insurance companies would flip shit if they caught wind of that...

Eh... I know several businesses that allow employees to open carry and are fully insured.

Wish more were like them though honestly.

Figure out what insurance company they use and contact me please... lol.

So by this logic, you must think that police, security forces, and soldiers shouldn't be armed as well.

What is this, Black Rifle Coffee Company?

Little pricey but good coffee... I aim (ha) to establish my own company that is either based around engineering or defense contracting in the future maybe 10-15 years down the road once I have some capital to back up my dreams. Until then, getting a nice job at any company is my goal.

Why am I imagining your company as mercenary Seabees?

*Thinking* Yeah... actually that's pretty accurate to my dream envisioned lol.

I hate delivering that shit. Especially to that one house that has the mailbox with the ridiculously small slot in it, and no place to turn around at the house. At least they stopped getting Battlbox.

Speaking of turning around, does the USPS really prohibit delivery vehicle drivers from backing up when they're not on USPS property?

We can only back up when ABSOLUTELY necessary. It has a lot to do with the fact that we can't see directly out the back of the vehicle (we have a mirror that shows the back of the vehicle, but it's still difficult to see much behind you). Hopefully the next postal vehicles will have backup cameras in them.

OK, I was just wondering because I have a project at work where there's a post office at the intersection I'm redesigning, and I had to give them pull-through parking spaces for postal vehicles due to this supposed rule.

Oh, poor babies, do they want a binky, a blankey and nap?
U of Oregon Snowflakes Triggered By 100-Year-Old Pioneer Statue

Ryan Reed, a member of NASU, said the statue has made him uncomfortable since his first weeks on campus.

“A lot of people think a pioneer is a frontiersman — an explorer. For us, it’s a totally different definition,” Reed said. “That feeling comes from what he’s carrying on his shoulder and what he’s carrying on his belt.”

Reed said the Pioneer statue might not bother every student at UO, but it negatively impacts the way Native students feel on campus.

“It’s like a murderer being praised for what they did. I guarantee that if you got [Ted] Bundy’s statue up on campus, people are going to go hectic,” Reed said. “But they don’t think of that with the pioneer statue. It’s been so romanticized and white-washed that a pioneer is a thing that is supposed to be positive.”

Christ, ryan, what a fucking pansy ass, wash the sand out of yer vagina and grow a set of balls.

Can we pretty please tell these people to shut the fuck up already and collectively move on from this "I'm offended by everything" fucking trend already?

Welcome to real life cupcakes, a place where safe spaces don't exist, nobody gives a flying fuck about you or your perceived viewpoints, and you might have to come to terms with things that might offend you and actually be an adult about it.

Offended by a fucking pioneer statue because it has a rifle and a whip portrayed on it... give me a fucking break.

Can you imagine if these wastes of sperm and egg existed back then? The constant handwringing over American rugged individualism, shit never would have gotten done as too many people would be still suckling from their momma's tit.

Oh I'm sure these types did indeed exist back then. However, I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that the reason why we never hear of them is because unlike today, people back then just didn't give them the time of day and let them kill themselves off from their own stupidity.

If they did exist back in the day, I would suspect those types would a very small minority. Which bring me to my next point.
– In 1944 18 year-olds stormed the beach at Normandy into almost certain death.

– In 2019 18-year-olds feel unsafe because words/statues/American rugged individualism hurt their feelings.

I can't believe I'm about to quote Voltaire, but here goes:

Civilizations ascend to greatness in hobnailed boots, and descend to oblivion in silk slippers.

Sorry America, you ain't the exception. It happens to all the great Empires, at one time or another; the only that prevent such things is a constant exposure to danger and risk, the moment a Nation or Empire becomes too secure and too prosperous, it begins eating itself; this is why America is decaying from within - its had its Peace and Prosperity for too long, and is slowly self-destructing from within, though one could argue the Empire is rotting at an increasingly quick rate. The end of the Empire doesn't necessarily mean the end of America as a whole; it just means America may not be the World Hegemon, as it has been since the Fall of the Soviet Union.

I can't even imagine being so thin skinned that a mere statue, especially one that's 100+ years old, offends me.

I'm of the same mind. Pretty much nothing offends me, I can count on one hand the things that may offend me, a statue isn't one of them.

See, and here is the part that almost scares me.

IF these people are this bad today, can you imagine what the next generation is going to be like with parental figures such as them?

You're assuming though that times will be as good or easy as they've been for the last few decades, but the Pax Britannica is over, and the Sun is setting on the Pax Americana; tough times are coming in the future, and tough times will breed tough people.
