SJWs are everywhere... :( People are going *apeshit * over Trump on FB. They're really full of hate, it's actually a bit scary. It's so ironic that (some) anti-Trump people are really being horrible to the Trump voters. How do they think they're going to change anything by unfriending and belittling people?

I would say it's worse...people are really having a go at Trump supporters on FB. I tried commenting that it was a shame unfriending people was ironically dividing people, which is what they say they're against. I mean, if they want people on their side, hating people and pushing them away isn't going to do it.

I mean, I'm all for supporting people on benefits, and pro-life is a big deal to me too. I get that I'm not residing in America, but believe big changes can have massive consequences on other countries too. But supposedly my own kind, on "my side" are behaving irresponsibly. How is it responsible to hate on other people and be nasty to them? These SJWs are not only kicking themselves in the foot, but they're going against supposedly their own nature. I get that sitting back doing nothing isn't going to get them anywhere, but neither is unfriending people and heavily shaming them.

I heard of people being disowned by their families for voting the wrong way on Brexit. And did you read those hate mails Avaaz were sending out, in their ironically entitled "Vote for Love" campaign?  I might see if I can fish one out. I kept 'em for future reference, just in case I ever started trusting Avaaz's opinions  again

Yeah, That's my problem , pretty much. All too often, these people are -purportedly- standing for issues I believe in  :zombiefuck:

I didn't see those, would you show one to me please? Being disowned by their families...man the whole thing screams of irony.

Perhaps we should unfriend them and form our own group! Haters!

..Not that I've ever remained friends with one before they've got rid of me.

Both Carla and myself were "unfriended" by her uncle and aunt for our "liberal" leanings.  But, they are wealthy and privileged and likely to be further enriched by trumpty numpty and his cadre of oligarch's. 

Hate crimes are up against gays, transgenders, Women who speak their minds and fight for their right's,  minorities.  Creationism now has major support in Washington to be the "new" science taught country wide.  Corporations are employing strong arm tactics against native people's who are blocking their ruthless path to mine and exploit resources without regard to property rights or environmental protections.  Plus, we have a president who is so thin skinned that he can't take even a smidgen of the abuse and criticism that has been heaped on past presidents, especially Obama.  He wants to employ strong arm tactics against the media and anybody who dares to use the 1st amendment right of free speech against him and his fellow oligarch's.  Plus, he wants to put his family members into high government positions.  Almost like a 3rd world dictatorship.  It's going to be interesting for the next few years. 

I know, I know, that statistics can be found here and there to buttress anybodies differing opinion.  So all some of us can do is watch, speak out and hope for the best...or prepare for the worst.......

A film crew was shooting outside a local garage.


Do you know what they are making?  The last year or two they have been filming a couple movies around my town one was some Lifetime Network thing and the other some Indie move that just came out not sure what the name is but it was in the paper.  It's a weird feeling watching a trailer and seeing places you go past all the time.

Hard to say. I got the idea it is a feature film or a TV production rather than a commercial, but I can't really point out why.

They shot a film in Gothenburg a couple of years ago, one that I later watched on TV. There was a car chase through the city and while I instantly recognised the locations, they took a lot of liberties with both the distances involved and where you'd actually have to drive to get from A to B. Sort of amusing, but it completely ruined the film for me.

Ah, yes.  The ubiquitous New Orleans Mountains in the background, everyone says ,"Cher," we all practice voodoo, etc.

I know you do. :zoinks:

canadian thanksgiving was in october. we are nonetheless having black friday sales here. sadly, i need to go get a printer that isn't part of the sale. hopefully since it's a regular work day it won't be too crowded.
