Marcellus the Octopus (the Alien?) enjoying his fistable mug of joe. And just like A.J., Giorgio and Hecklefish agree, it’s obviously aliens.

Facebook has accused my page of violating some kind of trademark policy and has threatened to permanently shut off this page in the next few days if I don’t request an appeal. Just as expected their appeal form keeps crashing and I cannot get one submitted. It has been great visiting and offering hopefully good advice.

Okay. This sounded cool, at first. As a child of the 80’s there is a scarily similar feel to the Soviet era living arrangements. “Everything you need is so close you won’t need to travel.” Some of you may not see this on the first read through but remember a few short years ago there was this:

“You'll own nothing and you'll be happy” is a phrase that originated from a 2016 video by the World Economic Forum (WEF). The phrase summarizes an essay written by Danish politician Ida Auken and predicts that individuals will own nothing and be happy by 2030. A quick YouTube search and you can watch the video yourself.

I’m not saying, I’m just saying…

“Moderate Evidence”?
That’s a hoot.
Since 2018 we have performed almost 500 checks through CBI (who then runs folks through NICS) and we have had less than 20 denials. Of those 20, one guy got picked up for a warrant (unspecified reason). 5 or 6 were admitted previous domestic issues, however all of those were from more than 10 years ago. One lone mental health issue. Several have been been red card (ma*****na) kick backs.
Now the fun part, 11 of those were appealed and the denial was reversed.
I would say it is less than moderate evidence. The vast majority of criminal actors are not walking into shops or ordering their fi****ms through dealers that WILL run the required checks. It really is simple.
