So (not so) fun fact: Keffals, who was targeted by KiwiFarms for being trans (yes that's all) and got Swatted. She then went to stay with another streamer (EllenFromNowOn) in Northern Ireland. Just for information sake, Northern Ireland is still a bit rocky security wise, Police there still carry guns on the regular. So when she went there, Ellen called up the police and explained the situation to them (they had never heard of Swatting weirdly enough).

Sure enough, someone found her flat, posted her address (with a message referencing a Unionist Slogan, Ellen was from the Catholic Community), and sure enough, the police came. Instead of raiding her all guns blasing (which they normally would) they saw the warning, knocked on the door, saw nothing was wrong, called off the squaddies, and came in to basically make sure everything was okay.

Bare in mind, this was in Northern Ireland, a place where the Police still drive Armored cars and have regular riots, and they handled this better than the Police in London, Ontario.

Let's be very Frank with you, republicans want that. Not the rank and file, but the politicians that want control over the United States.

What they want from Trump is a rubber stamp to do whatever they want.

American Evangelicals: THE RAPTURE IS COMING AND THE TRIBULATION IS NIGH!

Jehovah's witnesses: THEY ARE COMING FOR US, THEY'RE COMING FOR US BECAUSE WE'RE WITNESSES!

Mormons: WE'RE GONNA NEED THE FOOD STORES WE WERE TOLD TO MAKE, JUST YOU WAIT!

Scientists: Climate Change will lead to everything going to shit if we don't do shit now.

All of them together: BULLSHIT!

I mean basically this: They expect something like a Movie but when something happens in reality they turn around and are like "nope".

How people who say we need to ban cycling because "I can't take a sofa on a bike" think they and everyone else drives on a daily basis.

Can access PressTV, but not RT on normal internet. I can however access RT via Tor so I think RT is being blocked.

No but they can experience existential fear (first time I took one of my cats on Holiday).

The fact that a company can get away with killing someone because someone else in their household subbed to their TV service is fucked and we need to fucking kill that fucking bullshit, whether we will is another thing entirely.
