So what are you trying to say here? That you want to see all guns banned and confiscated. You gun grabbers should have the courage to be specific about what you want. Itll make the conversation a lot easier.

Can't you read? Let me make it easy for you since you have so much trouble following the three short sentences from my original post:

If only Kansas had relaxed gun laws so someone could've fought back and killed the attacker.

Clearly, I'm for granting better access to firearms to increase the ability for citizens to defend themselves, as evidenced by my incredulity that this shooting could've happened in a state with already relaxed laws like Kansas. Obviously they need to do more to get guns into the hands of responsible citizens.

It's both.

This. And they're both dumb.


Softly tapping in order to deter a tailgater is fine. Slamming on your brakes hoping to cause an accident is just as idiotic as tailgating.


Softly tapping only "deters" a tailgater if it causes them to react as though you slammed on your brakes, which means they're braking hard and can potentially cause an accident. If they're tailgating you in the first place, they're not going to care that you're showing them your brake lights work. They're only going to back off if they think they need to slow down dramatically to avoid hitting you.

Softly tapping to deter a tailgater is not fine, and is dumb.

It can be hard to swallow your pride and "admit defeat" letting some asshole tailgater pass you, but that's the safest thing to do. Move over, let the tailgater pass, and be on your way.


Gradually slowing down is one of the better ways to deal with tailgaters. One of three things will happen:

-They'll get fed up and pass you when possible
-They'll take the hint and stop crowding you if they can't pass
-If they continue tailgating you, going slower means you'll have more time to react to anything that happens and therefore reduce the likelihood of needing to stop suddenly enough to be rear-ended

Sure, it sucks that you have to be slowed down by some idiot that doesn't know how to drive, but it's the safest option.

False. Not the safest option, because you risk triggering someone's road rage.

Safest option is to move out of their way and let them pass. If you're on a one-lane road, pull over when it's safe to do so and let them pass.

It's as dangerous as tailgating is. Never mind if the tailgater rear ends you, what if they lock up their brakes and cause another accident and then innocent third parties are getting involved/injured/killed... It's just not worth it.

In no way am I defending tailgating or suggesting they be allowed to get away with their behavior, but brake checking is dangerous behavior, too.

TopicRudy Giuliani wants to sue Congress over impeachment investigation

https://www.politico.com/news/2019/10/01/rudy-giuliani-sue-congress-019030

President Donald Trump's personal lawyer, Rudy Giuliani, thinks Congress' probe into the president is wrong, and he wants to sue those behind it.

Speaking with Fox News' Laura Ingraham on Tuesday night, Giuliani proposed bringing a lawsuit against House Democrats for investigating the president in the wake of revelations involving Trump's interactions with Ukraine. The House launched an impeachment inquiry into Trump after it was revealed he had asked Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky to dig up dirt on Democratic 2020 contender Joe Biden.

Congressional oversight of the presidency is one of the most fundamental pillars of American government, but Giuliani thinks Congress' actions violate Trump's constitutional rights.

"They are doing extraordinary things. For example, they are violating theyre interfering with the president in exercising his rights under Article II: The president United States conducts the foreign policy of the United States," Giuliani said. "They're calling foreign leaders. They are going to foreign capitals."

"This is worse than McCarthy!" he later added, presumably referring to Sen. Joseph McCarthy.

Article II of the Constitution grants the president the "power, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate, to make treaties, provided two-thirds of the Senators present concur. Trump's conversation with Zelensky, as well as Giuliani's engagement with Ukrainian officials on behalf of Trump, deeply troubled members of Congress and veteran intelligence officials for possibly using foreign policy for personal political gain.

Ingraham appeared skeptical of Giuliani's proposal, noting members of Congress have immunity for anything they say on the floor. "It's novel," she said of Giuliani's proposal.


Someone might want to remind him that "conducting foreign policy" needs to fall within legal parameters.

That's true... but the issue here is that Trump attempted to enlist a foreign power to aid in digging up said dirt, for the express purpose of helping him win the election. That's illegal. The fact that he was attempting to coerce Ukraine into helping him by withholding aid to their country is also illegal.

I've been reading up on this and apparently Kevin Smith did Not Ones as a joke and not as an attempt to take a shot at Hot Ones and the whole thing is a misunderstanding. I hope they can smooth things over because I'd love to see Smith and Mewes on the show.

Saw a comment on Twitter that said to bury the hatchet they should get together to do a show called Pot Ones and get high together. That would be funny.

We don't have cable. I think on Prime I was watching Sneaky Pete, Man in High Castle and something else. Kids watch Tumble Leaf and stuff on there. So we do use it.

In order of use it probably goes:

Hulu (wife watches it every week)
Prime

Need a "keep all of them and get Disney+" option.

I suppose I could, just seems like we're not using them all to their full benefit. Netflix has a few movies I'll watch and we were watching Stranger Things but haven't even seen Season 3 because my wife is not interested in it any more.

She does a lot of shopping on Prime and gets a discount at Whole Foods (which while overpriced for a grocery store is the closest to our house). Like I said, near 100% chance my wife isn't going to cancel that.

I like the idea of canceling GO and renewing when I want to watch something...

Don't watch much of any of them, tbh.

My wife pays for Prime for her shopping. There's a near-100% chance that will be kept by default.

We like HBO but we've seen pretty much everything on it. Their original series are great, but Band of Brothers is about the only one I'll revisit regularly. Want to keep it for Silicon Valley, Curb, and Barry for the most part. Maybe the next True Detective.

I barely watch Hulu but my wife likes Grey's Anatomy, ER, and Handmaid's Tale.

Kids mostly watch Netflix children's content, but they could just as easily get on the Disney stuff. We try to limit their screen time so they're not watching much to begin with. They typically watch TV for a half hour or so, unless it's a movie night.

Leaning towards getting rid of Netflix.
