So... carrying a butterfly knife would be legal now?

Hmm, Thai Knee Dong?

OMG, that's it

Thai Knee Dong

This one isn't too bad, but sometimes you seem very intent on being truly insulting toward me, and I don't get it. Even though I typically don't mind jokes at my expense, your jabs don't seem particularly intended to be humorous. What gives?

 

[Graves The Elder]

Holder should be in jail.
POS

Well, if it's complimentary toward you, it's not funny.

No one wants a friend to have a cool nickname like T-Bone or Tiger. They want their friends to have nicknames like Butt Chug and Splooge.

Thai Knee Dong is perfect because it's both topical (MMA-related) and it sounds like small weiner when you say it out loud.

The way the law was written and the flick test is ridiculous. A Spyderco is not what a reasonable person should consider a "gravity knife".

WA's law is goofy as fuck.

We can OWN spring ASSISTED knives as in like an SOG spring knife where you use your thumb to start the action on the blade and the spring assists in opening it (or like a Benchmade Infidel where you push up on a tab and the blade comes out of the handle) but we can't own a button operated spring knife (your standard Italian style switchblade as an example).

Kicker though, you're not allowed to carry ANY of them....

EDIT:
Oh Jesus fuck.... the mother and father in this trial are anti-vaxxers.....

Unless I'm mistaken, every pocket knife I've ever owned is then a gravity knife. Little drop of gun oil to lube up the pivot point and they'll all flick open when you flick like you're packing chew

packing chew

I still can't do that snap/flick thing to pack a dip tin.

That appears to be one of the issues pointed out in the ruling. You can purchase a knife that meets the law, but over time it becomes illegal due to decreased friction. Or you can purchase a knife you think is legal, but a cop can flick it open (after a couple of failed attempts), and then say it fails a flick test.

Truth hurts. Read material from the time period, not what the government wants you to think.

I don't understand. How are you able to correctly react to a sick burn, if that's the case?

 

[Limbo Pete]

Find memoirs from people who were involved. Most are available on line. Look up newspaper articles and debates or letters written by people during the war and the years leading up to it.

I don’t have specific links right now. If you are interested, pm and I’ll get you some.

Primary source documents are important to any research, when available, but secondary synthesis is also extremely necessary. It is absolutely essential.

 

[Limbo Pete]

what's your recommendation?

To frame and understand how the war came to be, read Impending Crisis by Potter. Getting a bit long in the tooth, but it's held up very very well.

I... don't?

Mets win! Greatest opening day team of any sport!

They only really struggle in the other 161 games.

 

[Andy Capp]

Every time I see you post you get me confused thinking you're @Horse Style

I think you're being too generous.

Couple of things on that. The 25 grand thing wasn't you being shooped you into something suggesting you were a . It was people having a laugh at the combo of the money talk and you taking a really bad mirror pic that made you look funny, which you had just posted in the OT (it wasn't some old pic from a previous account laying around for years). And iirc you didn't care if people used it, and it was all OT/SB. Had you asked for it not to be used as an av, people should respect that. Plus, wasn't that shit in like 2013? That was even pre-Nos-OT-offshoot stuff. I don't think I've seen the 25 grand gif in probably 5 years. That was back when people were still being doxxed and shit (which we even did together once, fucking Spliff always got away clean lol).

There's also the more problematic part where BarryDillon can't report anything or complain about harassment stuff because of retribution, which is why I said something in the open (he had nothing to do with this). That's the environment here, the perception is that there's payback for doing the right thing. It's bad that people feel like reporting or complaining about some wrong stuff is going to get them fucked with. Aren't people always complaining about the "don't snitch" code that happens in some crime-ridden neighborhoods, because "don't snitch" is a huge part of what lets the criminals flourish? Even at a karate forum scale, it serves the same function.

Either way this sort of fucking with people is definitely an OT thing, and not a WR thing. People really need to learn how to play in the right place. Especially somebody like MistoGators/Austin (who had the av up), who does tons of trolling in here targeted at just a few people.

I see your point and obviously I didn't care at all. My position is always going to be that he brought this on himself. He decided to try and get multiple users banned and openly brag about it. He went into the OT and brought the OT to the WR.

The policy here has if you post your picture outside of the Plats it's fair game. Some of the most popular threads ever made on this site are from shoops of people. We also have the fact that Homer made numerous comments in the past.

That said, there is going to be a no tolerance policy on stuff so there won't be that again. Likely a few more changes going forward

Except that in one case we're talking about brothers poppin' a cap in a n___ or slinging dope to crack whores, while in the other case we are talking about insecure Sherbros getting their feelings hurt on the interwebz.
