Until they use it as 'evidence' of being persecuted for their values, getting exposure in the right wing media circus along with the sweet pile of fundraising loot.

Both of which fund the next lunatic MAGA candidate or group.

Ahhhh! My home, it burned down!

Bent down to pick up a kitten in my garage when I was 8. It was under a car engine suspended on a lift, and I brained myself badly while standing up. Lots of blood, seizures due to three TBI and resultant swelling. Thankfully my mother bravely stood up to the mean old doctor insisting I needed surgery to relieve the swelling and instead treated me with psychic healing and veggie smoothies. It only hurts sometimes 45 years later.

Bent down to pick up a box while cleaning an extra bedroom that had become infested with bees (they had started a hive in the wall due to an unseen opening happened around a hot water pipe after an earthquake). Frustrated due to both the intense heat and the bees that had only left their hive due to said heat, tried lifting said box, not realizing it was full of books and simultaneously ignoring a lifetime of working around my chronic back issues. I stopped trying to stand once I resembled a fleshy right angle and had to crawl out of the room on my hands and knees. A lovely 40 mph fender bender later that year (I was at a complete stop as were the cars in front of me) made that a delightful addition to my back problems.

Same year, I was making Hasselback potatoes for the first time. I have a seldom used but quite nice food processor, but decided 'hell, why not use the mandolin?' About an 1/8" of my right ring fingertip, that's why not, dumbass! Thankfully it grew back, but the very tip looks like a light burn scar and it's still somewhat numb and tingly when touched 9 years later.

I'm so terribly sorry.

You both deserve to exist and most likely rock out loud :)

First I would have to imagine a police force that didn't start primarily as slave catchers. Or state funded union busters.

Here's a thought. Qualified immunity goes bye bye every time they have an oopsie with their body cams. Suddenly no more oopsies!

Oh wait, that will never ever happen.

I grew up with the original series and couldn't agree more. It was fun and only very slightly marred by no Mister T cameo.

Probably to hide under a desk... I wonder if bringing your own gives you advantage on the roll?
