The state is allowed to say guns are not allowed in certain areas at certain times. They can't ban individuals from carrying, but they can say "no weapons allowed" for protests.

Absolutely. But as far as I can tell, NC allows open carry of firearms without a permit, and only prohibits people from carrying in public gatherings when you have to pay for admission.

I don't know the specifics for different state laws. I was more thinking of another story I was seeing, Boston I think, where they specifically forbid weapons from being brought to the protest and counter protest.

Look on the bright side, you're one day closer to dying.

Happy birthday!

Yeah I wouldn't complain

Meh, if they're openly carrying weapons I feel like it goes beyond protest at that point.

But now you're getting into the argument that the 2nd amendment is being violated. "...the right of the people to keep and bear arms, shall not be infringed."

If they're legally allowed to protest, and legally allowed to carry guns, then it's basically a case of, "this makes me uncomfortable, they shouldn't be allowed to do this."

The state is allowed to say guns are not allowed in certain areas at certain times. They can't ban individuals from carrying, but they can say "no weapons allowed" for protests.

thanks

So the ACLU no longer supports constitutional rights and shouldn't be taken seriously on these issues. They can go fuck themselves if one incident is enough for them to reject the Bill of Rights.

Does the first amendment include carrying arms in assembly/free speech clauses? I'm not very knowledgeable about SOTUS rulings on specific instances, but I wouldn't be surprised if those exceptions weren't allowed.

No, the constitution doesn't guarantee the right to carry arms during protests. States can refuse people to carry weapons if they worry for safety.

Trying hard to care, depression is so fun :/

Neither do I.

Doing something right.

Nah. I don't care about most of CE, but there are a few good people here where if I stop posting, I want them to know if I'm ok :/

How would CE know if something happened to me or whatnot x.x

why is it bad? too much referencing? too much plot armor?

It's a terribly written book that uses nostalgia to cover its flaws. It's filled with plot armor, deus ex machina, bad twists, and horribly written scene.

My particular favorite is towards the end, the character discovers after a large battle a door he needs to go through is floating in midair, but it's ok because he discovers a pair of rocket boots immediately after. They are never mentioned before or after.

Jesus. Don't listen to this and just have fun. OctilIery obviously doesn't know how to have fun.

Go read Armada and tell me he's a good author.

IF you're ok with just nostalgia, it's entertaining, but it isn't a good book.

It's really bad. The movie will hopefully be much better.

I am still eating, mind you. Not as much as I should clearly, but I've been forcing myself to eat daily. I need to get some liquid foods, someone suggested that to me from their own experience with depression killing their appetite.

Nothing wrong with seeing a therapist dude

I'm working on that, have my first appointment on the third.

Both were prescribed, not casual.

I got prescribed Codeine, then I got prescribed Vicodin earlier this year. I didn't notice any effects, good or otherwise, from either one. I didn't even notice pain relief from vicodin.

It's mostly from just not eating, because depression has killed my appetite.

I would say concerned then, but if you're depressed you likely won't give a shit. If you're not overweight it's something I would keep an eye on.

I'm slightly overweight, just had a belly. But at this rate it could get bad.

Back_Stabbath posted...

Don't make a habit of it dude. i lost well over a hundred and fifty pounds this way and now my stomach is f***ed (eating anything is very, very uncomfortable to put it lightly). Looking thinner effortlessly is exciting but it's like the worst way ever to go about losing weight bro.

I'm still forcing myself to eat and everything, but I have to really force myself for anything. I could barely even finish a cliff bar.

bknight posted...

It's OK if you're 350 to 400 lbs, mostly just water weight at that size.

I've gone from 216 to 201.

I don't know if I should be excited or concerned. It's mostly from just not eating, because depression has killed my appetite.

France and Italy are beautiful, and Japan is overcrowded as fuck.

I would like to visit Japan someday, but I have bigger priorities for it.

James Patterson comes out with like five books every month.

yeah but he has ghost writers

Maybe. It might be like I do though. I start my next book before my first one is finished and work in a cycle. He might just write all day and since he has established series, it's easier for him to add on to those than start new ones or write singular works.

No, he literally has books written by Co authors then published under his name. At most he supplies the idea.

You know who else tried to erase history?

This isn't erasing history.

And better again. Got a very small appetite back, though barely enough to eat even a slice of pizza. Heading to therapy now.

moviepass.com

They just dropped the price to $10. Basically, they mail you a card, and your free trial starts when it arrives. You download their app, go to a theater, check in on gps, and they add the money for the ticket to your card. Can only do 2d movies, but that's still a hell of a deal considering most theaters have prices higher than $10 for a single 2D ticket.

Yay mindless distractions

I'm already almost done with this league lol

Did you just start Prozac? It won't help right away, but it should eventually. Or its possible Prozac isn't for you. I'm on lexapro. had an adjustment period where it almost seemed worse than no meds. But after that it definitely helped

I started it at the start of the month. I did Lexapro before, didn't work.

Well just know it might prevent you from a career in law enforcement if you ever decide to do that

Yeah, I'm well aware. :/

FrenchCrunch posted...

all those years of you being a jackass to people on here finally make sense

You know what? Go fuck yourself. I have my issues, but if this is your fucking response to something like this you're a far worse person than me.

OpheliaAdenade posted...

Are you on any medication for your depression?

I'm on Prozac. It isn't helping yet.

I can't beat this shit. Nothing I try does more than a very brief respite. I'm not healthy to the people around me. I'm not healthy to myself. I've got no appetite and can barely force myself to eat, and thoughts keep getting darker and more specific and I'm starting to feel my will and resolve slip away.

I'm fucking pathetic, CE.

Texted her. Argued, fought, yelled at each other.

Now I wake up at 5am and can't even begin to get back down.

*Sigh*

ok, no more drinking, going to bed. This isn't healthy x.x

ToonLinkWithGun posted...

Don't do it. I am drunk too. Don't do it

I won't. I know better. It's just really fucking tempting.

As someone dealing with depression lately, this is fucking super heartwarming.

I want to do all the unhealthy things

I really want to just start messaging and yelling at her

Which is a bad idea but still

Nope, fuck it, depressed and drinking.

Yeah I wouldn't call this normal, but certainly closer.

Well it didn't completely last but at least I'm warring between happy and sad.

Progress?

Want to know why you were bothering with your ex, but let's not talk about that right now.

Let the good feelings keep on rolling.

I had to arrange a meet up because we have to exchange our stuff. Not looking forward to it, but it needs to be done.

Still absolutely no appetite though. Slightly concerning.

I'm OK with that after this week.

Set up a date with a girl, got a call back for an interview, and got a call about therapy.

Had my good mood smashed because I had to talk to my ex, but then the girl texted me out of the blue and revived it.

Literally every tea I've tried has tasted like flat soda to me. They've been disgusting. I think my taste buds just don't interpret it right lol

<_<


Tea is supposed to be subtle, so you might just be used to a higher sugar content?
flavors shouldn't be THAT strong

I am, admittedly, but then again I drink tons of water too.

Those "flavored water" drop things are the same. Can't stand the very subtle flavor.

OctilIery posted...

I don't like tea either >.>;

What's the last kind of tea you tried and how long ago

I have tried several kinds, I think the last one was a ginger peach tea my ex loved.

where are you going for coffee? what else is there on the menu?

It's a place in Oregon City near her house. Plenty of other things on the menu, I'll probably have a hot cider or something.

Muffinz0rz posted...

I didn't even know people did coffee dates anymore

Eh, good way to get to know someone. And I need things more casual right now anyway.

How the fuck does this board have so many low lives who are sympathizing with white supremacists and Nazis? This shit is gross. "Think of the Nazi children" ain't a fucking excuse to let Nazi parents threaten our fucking country.

There's a lot of people here that want to act like they actually support a Nazi's right to 'express free speech'

I do too. And I want to support the rights of others to enforce social consequences, within reason.

The ufortunate reality of work environments. It's not just about one's ability to perform their job, no getting around that.

The doxxers are self-rightous assholes though.

No they're not. They're protecting their business.

The businesses aren't the doxxers though. Just assholes who think trying to ruin someone else's life and bragging about it is such a good thing.

More along the lines of people who recognize and use a chance they have to hold someone accountable for their actions.
