I reckon (and it’s the same thing I believe about 9/11), it’s a mixture of incompetence/complacency on behalf of US intelligence.

Think about how many concurrent tips/investigations into threats against the president the feds must deal with at any one time. I think, like 9/11, they probably had knowledge of a potential plot and failed to stop it, without being “involved”.

I’m sure theres a good chance the CIA/feds had their hands in it financially somewhere, in the sense that they’re always paying/arming groups all around the world - again, similar to 9/11 imo.

But did a bunch of agents sit down in a smoky room and decide to waste Kennedy? I doubt it. Maybe it was some kind of CIA asset they lost control of - “hey if we create a credible threat against the president maybe he will give us more license to attack Cuba” or whatever.

Rittenhouse - shoots 3 people, walks past heavily armed cops with the smoking gun, flees the state, is taken in alive and well

Leftist - summarily executed

Curious.

Also if I do go the chain route, what type of metal/thickness is decent enough to be a deterrent?

Haha, I’ve wasted quite a few hours watching LPL, it’s what makes me so concerned about this topic. I find his videos oddly soothing.

Haha, I like em, and maybe they were influential or whatever, but they have a lot of garbage in their catalogue for sure. The white album for example could easily be cut in half, didn’t need to be a double album.

I think Rubber Soul is their best album, after that a lot of their stuff went way too far up its own ass, I don’t need to listen to a bunch of white dudes playing the sitar tbh.

Also my “hot take” (and amongst a certain crowd it is definitely a hot take) is that the Rolling Stones are better than Beatles - sure the Beatles were better for like, four years in the 60s, but the stones have another 50 years of material after that. The stones didn’t even release some of their best albums until after the Beatles were broken up. So over the course of their whole output I much prefer the stones.

C’mon comrades, show solidarity, choose they/them if you don’t want random internet people knowing your gender.

Also, please please make sure your titles make it explicitly clear when it’s a picture of some chud lying there with his face blown off, I wanna make sure I don’t miss that kind of content.

Apparently the inventor of the loudspeaker regretted his invention after seeing the Nazis use it at Nuremberg
