[News] Post a D&D Picture

Previous incarnations of Cleveland/P&C/D&D have had an image thread, to handle political cartoons and other image-based stuff that doesn't belong in the general post-a-picture threads.

If any of them spawn an extended discussion, please spawn it off into its own thread. Replies to non-picture replies should take the form of a link pointing to a post on a different discussion thread.

And I shouldn't have to say it, but the images still need to abide by the rules.

Found THIS GEM in the Oregon Voter’s Guide while FILLING OUT my PRIMARY BALLOT.

What have you got to lose?

I checked out his website and while it’s slightly more coherent, it’s still a mess of bad grammar and disjointed non-sequiturs. Dude seems really hung up on kids. His section about COVID response is almost entirely about homeschooling and how he would bring child development experts in to consult with epidemiologists about reopening the country. It then ends it with a random thought about having a staffer help with his website.
Luckily he has zero chance of beating our incumbent Senator and I’d frankly be surprised if he even beats out the other Republicans he’s running against.

That nearly mirrors the "platform", complete with bad grammar and non-sequiturs, of my local GOP candidate for state representative, who was soundly beaten in 2018, but is running again. He and our county's GOP minions have been distributing pamphlet propaganda attacking the current rep. with verifiably false claims and strawmen. The previous campaign focused on the 2nd amendment. This year they've added a conspiracy to keep people locked down and out of work.

I had the random pleasure of working side-by-side with him at a charity food distribution event a couple weeks ago. He's definitely a hard worker and friendly-enough in person, albeit intense. I know he has volunteered his time and expertise (water-damage mitigation business) to help flood victims in our community. Many in our town really like him.

But his politics and campaign tactics are just evil. It's hard to reconcile his online presence and campaign with the meat-space person. The fact that he can hand out food to 600 desperate families yet intend to vote against bills to provide those same families a better safety net doesn't make sense.

Goveror.

It's like grammatical and spelling errors are a point of pride.

I think the problem here is not that these people think the CDC is incompetent and doesn't know how to properly do research and has no idea what they're talking about, but rather that they think it's actively corrupt and is doing everything it can to disrupt and/or end as many lives as possible - or at the very least doesn't care about lives because they're only concerned about advancing their own secret agenda.

To be fair, there are actually plenty of people like that out there. Unfortunately, they're the ones that people like this "Mr. Blue" seem to trust without question.

I'm not going to pretend that everything is better now, but at least we live during an era in which George Clooney has been introduced as Mr. Alamuddin, or Amal's spouse.

There's a big part of me that wished god actually existed and that he/she/it decided to revert to the Old Testament "let's f*ck evil up" vibe.

I could say a lot of things about the various tragedies I'd like to see befall this women and everyone around her, but, instead, I'll stick with the observation that she and everyone like her would f*cking break their souls if they were exposed to even five minutes of the sh*t black Americans have survived for centuries.

That can't be real...can it?

Yes, THANK you.

Permit me to recommend http://imgbb.com for free, no-nonsense image rehosting. It's like what imgur used to be before it decided to turn into a social networking site. Only limit is a reasonable and fairly generous image size. You can set images to auto delete. And when you're done dragging and dropping to upload, it gives you the direct link straight away for sharing.

Don't forget to rename the facebook image you download before uploading unless you want a bunch of files named things like 329245632h-329845y23945yu-9283592asdiedrf.jpg - of course you can still cross-load directly using a URL, but I hate those filenames.

Humboldt County coronavirus protester’s ‘slaves’ sign goes viral

Oh, it wasn't her sign, someone handed it to her. That makes it okay then.

Lovely non-apology there.

Apparently the sh*t-storm is currently burying her.

The receiver is clearly wooden. The receiver is not the stock and is never made of wood.

Exactly.

The M2 machine gun has no stock on its receiver. It has a buffer assembly cover and some models have "butterfly" triggers.

Also, the sights are typically a combination of front ring sights and an adjustable rear sliding sight apeture. Not the two ring sights present on this hunk of wood.

In the US, technically the receiver is the gun, so destroying it is considered destroying the weapon. Not sure if it's the same case for something like an M2. Looking closer at that image though, I think the barrel is a broom handle, lol. I'm not sure any part of it was ever authentic.

You can own things like AT4s and bazookas as long as they've been rendered inert. That's usually done by having a hole cut in the tube and a bar welded across the inside. A patch is usually put across the hole and painted over for display purposes. They're required to be labelled inert. Here's the exact same photo with the "Inert" stickers clearly visible, but you'll probably need to click and expand to see it full-size.

Wow. What a fashion statement. Accessorize! NYFW designers take notice! Looking forward to RPGs, miniguns, and other heavy weapons on the runway.

On the other hand, I don't think this aspiring cover model took the time honored fashion tip of spinning around in front of a mirror and removing the first thing that catches your eye.

Also, I can think of something else that dude is packing that should probably have an "inert" sticker on it.

Badken did you say something about zombieland before? I found a great Key and Peel video for it and I think you edited a comment before I could post it.

Yeah I watched Zombieland double tap recently and thought it was fun. I don’t remember where I posted though!

(sure would be nice if the board let us look at our own post histories...)

Found it! Now where is that Key & Peele video?

Or he threatened to withhold Congressionally authorized funds unless the governor and state legislators did what he wanted, which is strangely what he was impeached for.
