Sticking it in crazy isn't so bad as long as you don't make a habit of it. Unless you hit Fatal Attraction level of crazy on the first shot, then all bets are off. In any event with this one, I don't think she would let a man close enough to even contemplate that action.

I was actually going to fallow that up with " once or twice is normally ok" but was too lazy. Crazy is almost always fun to screw, but and bolt.

I can't for the life of me understand why 100k dead Americans plus 750 dead immigrants plus thousands sold into sex trafficking is basically swept under the rug at the Southern border. Not to be Debbie Downer, but it's just not funny. That there's ZERO accountability with this administration is criminal.
So not to take away from dicking the crazy girls, but I just heard today that Chilean robbers are now a "thing" in my actual neighborhood. My wife read an account of a break-in on NextDoor from a woman just a couple of streets away. Apparently they come in in the afternoon, steal the designer handbags, head straight for the master bedroom and look for watches and a safe, and then take off. They've got hoods and masks so Ring doorbells don't scare them, and they're armed. They're calling it 'burglary tourism."

Dozens of Chilean ‘tourists’ tied to burglaries in Southern California, police say

This is what happens when you aren't allowed to shoot anyone who enters your house.

She is married to a man, and the two of them are in an open relationship with her girlfriend.

Granted, likely not much of a man.

No that it's slowly coming out that the vaccine isn't in any way shape or form what the people were sold when it was released, do you guys think the jabbers will admit they were wrong?

Visa, Mastercard, AmEx to start categorizing gun shop salesNEW YORK (AP) — Payment processor Visa Inc. said Saturday that it plans to start separately categorizing sales at gun shops, a major win for gun control advocates who say it will help better track suspicious surges of gun sales that could be a prelude to a mass shooting.

But the decision by Visa, the world’s largest payment processor, will likely provoke the ire of gun rights advocates and gun lobbyists, who have argued that categorizing gun sales would unfairly flag an industry when most sales do not lead to mass shootings. It joins Mastercard and American Express, which also said they plan to move forward with categorizing gun shop sales.

Visa said it would adopt the International Organization for Standardization’s new merchant code for gun sales, which was announced on Friday. Until Friday, gun store sales were considered “general merchandise.”

“Following ISO’s decision to establish a new merchant category code, Visa will proceed with next steps, while ensuring we protect all legal commerce on the Visa network in accordance with our long-standing rules,” the payment processor said in a statement.

Visa’s adoption is significant as the largest payment network, and with Mastercard and AmeEx, will likely put pressure on the banks as the card issuers to adopt the standard as well. Visa acts as a middleman between merchants and banks, and it will be up to banks to decide whether they will allow sales at gun stores to happen on their issued cards.



Well if they can't micro-chip us, they might as well categorize us by our purchases. What's next, "social credit score" drops when you buy steak? Donate to a conservative? Order the wrong movie?

No, as the jabbers are still out getting jabbed. They are in this to the end.

I would think most gun stores accept cash. Get a cash advance from CC? I mean, if you're planning to commit mass murder, who cares about 25% interest charges?

I understand this could be used by Big Brother but it's just another way to show that none of these steps to common sense gun laws actually do what they pretend: stop mass shootings.

Mine heavily encourages cash use.

Doesn't every small retailer prefer cash? I use it wherever possible with them.

As Switzerland takes drastic measures to reduce its gas use this winter – including fines and up to three years in prisonfor citizens who violate new regulations, a viral poster circulating on Swiss social media telling citizens to rat out neighbors heating their homes above 19C (66.2F) has raised eyebrows.

“Does the neighbor heat the apartment to over 19 degrees? Please inform us,” reads the poster currently circulating on messaging services such as Signal and Telegram, according to Swiss media.

Yesterday, America First Legal (AFL) sued the National Archives and Records Administration for its refusal to release Joe Biden’s Vice Presidential records. The records in question include:

All communications by Vice-President Biden with his son Hunter and his brother James;
Official government travel by Hunter and James and their visits to the White House;
Other records further exposing Joe Biden’s involvement in his family’s corrupt foreign business deals.
​​​​​​​
The National Archives denied AFL’s request for prompt processing on the pretext that the public does not urgently need them, and, incredibly, on the grounds that there is no widespread and exceptional media interest in these matters.

Before the 2020 elections, the FBI suppressed the Hunter Biden Laptop story by spreading disinformation and urging social media censorship, all to cover up the Biden family’s corruption and hide Joe Biden’s abuse of the Vice Presidency to enrich his relatives. Now, just before the 2022 midterms, it seems the National Archives, too, is covering up the Biden Family’s corruption.

The American people deserve and are entitled to the Biden records. AFL will do everything in its power to quickly obtain these important documents and make them public. No one, not even President Biden, is above the law.

Like anyone in the current administrations gives two f*cks about a lawsuit. Hell, nobody even cares about SCOTUS rulings, because they ignore those too.

As for gun store merchant ID's, their intent outside of the obvious flagging will be to push for credit cards to start denying gun/ammo purchases, much like UPS/FedEx have now prohibited shipping firearms as an individual (only FFL's can ship now). If you take online sales out of the equation, you will force some of the largest manufacturers and suppliers into bankruptcy, and make brick and mortar purchases prohibitively expensive for the average American due to the overwhelming increase in demand.
