Unfortunately it's also kind of a tenuous argument, since Mayor Bowser isn't the owner of the hotels, and the 3A specifically provides for the owner consenting to the quartering. If the hotel owners are OK with it, the troops can stay. OTOH it's no more of an asspull than all the bullshit they've come up with for the 2A over the years.

Reading the replies all the hotels have been closed due to COVID. Mayor agreed to an exception for Guard. She is now revoking that agreement. Cast Chain Lightning.

Bored As gently caress posted:Boy howdy this year loving sucks. I just left a protest in Seattle that over the past few days has seen an autonomous protest support infrastructure pop up in place. People are distributing food and water, face masks, eye pro, first aid supplies, and so much more. First aid stations are popping up staffed by nurses and EMTs and stocked by donations. Local businesses, safe spaces, and churches are providing protesters with bathrooms and outlets to charge their poo poo. A band has now set up a stage a block away and are playing sets to keep the energy up and spirits high. Umbrellas have been painted pink in solidarity with the one targeted by those loving pigs on Monday. Cal Anderson park serves as a staging and rest area for protesters. Marches are starting spontaneously with thousands of people taking part while still keeping up the strength in front of the precinct. I've been overwhelmed by the solidarity. eta: it's also quite possibly the cleanest I've ever seen that area UP THE BUM NO BABY fucked around with this message at 08:19 on Jun 5, 2020 |

brains posted:today i learned i am eligible for citizenship for not one but two EU countries because of my grandparents. At least for Finland if you are the citizen of any EU country (or Lichtenstein or Switzerland) you don't need to have a permit to work in Finland, you have to officially register to do so, but the process is much less onerous. You must have a reason (a job) and you must show that you can survive without benefits from the Finnish state (well, if you have a job...). And there is racism in Finland, I think I should say. It ain't Alabama here, but non-white people do face discrimination. It varies much between places, but it's there. Our gun laws are much harsher than US ones so random violent assholes are less likely to be armed with guns. The police very rarely shoot people, a total of nine people have died from police bullets between 2000-2019, so that is something. It sort of swings the other way too, if you are white-ish and speak English it's seen as exotic in the positive way still in quite a few places and you might find yourself being "The Englishman/Person" in some places. Also, most Finns below 50 years speak at least some sort of English.

Fister Roboto posted:Lee Jin Carter is a former marine, a socialist in the Virginia state senate, and a prolific shitposter. I take great comfort in the fact that one of VA's state legislature members regularly shitposts from the statehouse floor, the GOP tries to roast him for it and gets dogpiled every time. He is a chill dude, pro-gun, pro-community defense. Extremely relatable, I remember seeing him drive for Lyft / Uber last year and doing a double take because he had posted about a check engine light on Twitter and reminding everyone how hosed up it is that VA legislators make $17k a year which in part prevents people without means from serving. He got gassed and flash-banged the other night at a protest - local PD swore up and down that they didn't deploy munitions but he kept the spent grenade as a receipt and it came out that they had thet the state police go hog wild with their hardware. He's one of a handful of bright spots of 2019 hellworld so please tread lightly cause you're stomping on my dreams etc.

I don't know if I'm disappointed or inspired by the fact that after these cases of police brutality over the last decade+, after the protests and the crackdowns, we don't hear how the officers involved in the inciting incident (and the ones identified commiting acts of violence against protesters) end up killed. Either everyone else is a better person than me for not even thinking that or it's just a matter of time. I don't know, it's too early and I'm too hungover to be this depressed and pissed off. Typical 2020 day.

It’s not breaking any rules or anything, but it’s definitely against our “All are welcome, we are inclusive” ideal that we’ve had since we grew this place from High School to Grad School. I’m not trying to bust your balls, but you are actually being an rear end in a top hat, by calling someone else who hasn’t said or done anything, an rear end in a top hat. You know I’m right, too. We are a very small niche of the greater SA community, and we are (this isn’t the right word but it’s 5am gently caress me I’m failing at words) weaker by running people off. We are a better and stronger (again, bad at words this early) community by being inclusive. That said, he was a prickly one. A lot of cops are. A lot of veterans are too.

There’s still a sizable gap between “military leaders disagreeing with president on an issue” to “other elements of the government act in concert to remove an elected president.” Of course, maybe one of the reasons the brass didn’t want to use the military en masse was because they didn’t want to test whether troops would obey an order to fire into a crowd or something.

Our current brass has put a lot of work into bridging the gap between the demographics of the military and civil society. Mattis in particular wrote a lot about the civil-military divide, but I've seen the discussion a lot at the Air Force level too. A pessimist might claim that it's mainly for recruiting purposes, but it also makes chuds angry every time we announce a new diversity hiring initiative, which is sort of a side benefit. Following that line of thought, I think the brass is probably aware of the lasting damage this could cause and is trying desperately to avoid the optics of the military versus the people. Or maybe they've actually read the Constitution, idk.

Alright before you go at each others throats let me clarify: I may often dislike Chichevache (or his opinions, whatever), but I've definitely grown accustomed to seeing him around and his absence is noted even by me, and that is oddly worrying in this sub more than most. There's at least once poster I liked that I haven't seen in months and it really bums me out and I hope they're okay. In any case, I'd rather he kramer in here with some rear end in a top hat opinion so we can yell at him than not. I still think he's an rear end in a top hat.

I want McNally to ask the admin’s to see if Martello has logged in any since he uh, *checks notes* murdered a guy and was acquitted in court. It’s kind of morbid curiosity, but I really wanna know. Can you imagine him still lurking amongst us? It’s a wild thought. Dude could probably use friends, but uh, I’m pretty sure he has none here anymore. I could swear I saw him as an active user a few months ago, but I was pretty intoxicated back then and can’t trust my memory of that time frame.
