NOW I get it. Thanks.

Yeah and the dreaded F word was an insult but that’s what all my gay friends called each other in the day.

Everything that led up to the killings was fucking heinous, but in the end, a jury of his peers saw the video evidence and deemed it self defense. I’ve watched the videos and I agree.

“He shouldn’t have been there.”, isn’t a legal doctrine. Still, I’m surprised the prosecutor couldn’t have found some angle there. Isn’t there some, “looking for a fight” idea?

If I go down to my MAGA neighbor’s house, kick on his door, talk shit (non-physically threatening shit) and he attacks me, I wouldn’t feel too safe shooting him. IANAL, but I know the prosecutors were, so I have to bow to their professional judgement.

And whatever happened to his mom or uncle or whoever buying him a gun? I know it was across state lines, but still, the purchase in itself was legal, and you can certainly gift a gun. There was a law clearly broken there, I think Rittenhouse being underage in that state for that weapon? Why wasn’t the purchaser hung from the fucking rafters?!

What is perhaps more heinous is that the little fucker is able to milk his notoriety. He should be shunned by both the anti-gun and pro-gun crowd, no one should give two shits to hear him speak. (He is shunned among liberal gun nuts like me.)

I’d prefer we extend “middle age” out to 70. Signed, 54-yo dude.

What was the joke?!

Customer and I were talking about my busted rib and how miserable it is to cough or laugh. He laid this one on me (the timing is crucial) and put me in pain:

Know what they call the white stuff in chicken shit?

Chicken shit.

I wonder if you would like the Mars Trilogy books by Kim Stanley Robinson. Same deep details, but about geography (on Mars).

Like Melville, he takes you into another world, in depth.

OTOH, you may hate the dryness!

In any case, you got me thinking I’ll take another pass at Moby Dick. Had the little kid’s book as a child and loved it. Haven’t read the novel for 30 years!

Tabasco sauce, and the peppers, are good for some foods, not so much for others. There is no ULTIMATE hot sauce, just what works.
