Five foot drifts

outside the front door.

Had to keep shovelling the sidewalk.

Took three swings at the driveway to get it done. Most of the driveway was 2 feet deep, with BIG drifts by the door, and big clumps by the end of the driveway. The town basically ran through with an end loader about eight AM, and did one path. Which promptly drifted shut.

So my driveway is done, but the street not so much. Looks like another crap day tomorrow

head explosion in five, four, three, two…

Midwest Chick, I predict, will be fuming ten seconds after she reads this.

Look: If you’re standing out on the street yelling “God hates fags” I’m agin ya. Just so you know. But a company like Chick-Fil-A, getting flack for supporting an organization whose values they share, is just another marker of how unhinged the left is.

God forbid a company espouse decent morals.

I’ve had a troll

come over from Primordial Slack. I don’t think it had any idea what goes on here.

The troll in question has been part of a discussion about abortion, and is anxious to get all up in my grill about “tolerance”

Fuck tolerance. “Tolerance” and “belief” are two of the biggest lies in the universe.

Every time I hear someone saying “That’s intolerant of you” or “you’re an intolerant asshole” it makes me smile. People expect you to be tolerant of their “beliefs” because, well, they believe them!!

Tolerance is a way of saying “you have to accept me because I said so!”

Except hoplophobes are not tolerant of gun owners, and that’s fine.
Except anti theists are not tolerant of people with religion.
Except, invariably, all those people telling you to be “Tolerant” of their BS won’t lift a finger towards “Tolerance” of yours.

Here’s what I’m “tolerant” of. People who go about their own business and don’t make any effort to tell me what I should do, or how I should live. I’m unquestionably opinionated, and will enter into any discussion where I have some knowledge. My viewpoint is always based on my studies and personal experience, and I do not merge fact and conjecture- therein lies “belief” and stupidity.

I regularly get hammered with “You’re intolerant of my beliefs”. Don’t care. I have no beliefs, and work very hard not to have any beliefs. you can do whatever the hell you please. Don’t show up spouting nonsense and expect not to be called on it, because my “respect” for your “beliefs” when they are based on your “Feelings” is zero. You want to take me to school? Show up with facts. It does happen. In the meantime you can live your life any way you damned well please. I’m not basing how I live on feelings, and you shouldn’t either.
