This is why I don’t like the IA+ LGBTQIA+. Q was a good stopping point because queer is such a great way of saying “it’s complicated but not straight.”
Queer is a nice big tent we can all get under instead of performative labeling or over complication.
LPT. If you ever get the chance to go to a Waffle House: order a Cherry Coke and ask for a double shot of cherry.
It turns into CHERRY coke and is even better.
Damn skippy. Gaslighting and basic ass lying are different things. But hey, it’s trendy right now. Next, we’ll find out how he’s a malignant narcissist.
Dude posted a shill review. It’s called shilling. It’s a form of lying for profit. He likely did it to advance his career or because he was afraid not to. His employer likely encouraged the action without directly ordering it.
Steve-O would absolutely swim in a river of shit. He, however, would not allow children to follow him.
The point I’m driving at is that they are spouting leftist talking points but have cranked up the fervor to 11. It’s frothing at the mouth type behavior and it genuinely confuses me as to if that is a real viewpoint or a shill. I’m not making a binary snap judgment, I’m questioning if that’s even a real person and what happened to them if they are real.
Yeah. I see a surprising amount of it on Lemmy. It is behavior I’m used to seeing from the far right, Qanon, and other brainwashed vectors. I watched the Russians propagandize the right on Reddit.
These, however, are nominal leftists engaging in stark black and white thinking. I’m not sure if they’re state level shills, bots, really believe it and are brainwashed tankies, or true believers living in China or similar. Maybe it’s dumb kids being taken in by propaganda.
I imagine the pipeline for a lot of users is some variant of:
BBS/Usenet | Slashdot/SomethingAwful/Ars Technica | Digg | Reddit | Lemmy
Nobody better fuck with my girl Dolly. That’s how you get the metalheads all riled up.
Birdshot is perfectly acceptable in a home defense situation given the short ranges. It does have a lower lethality but unobstructed head and chest shots will most likely be fatal and will incapacitate.
An advantage to bird shot is that two layers of drywall may slow it down enough to prevent lethal injuries to bystanders such as family members in other rooms.
A disadvantage is that it will likely be stopped by body armor where buckshot packs enough punch that it can cause severe injury even if it doesn’t penetrate.
I don’t have ready sources for this, just general informed opinion.
That is the largest wood lathe I have seen. Super fucking dangerous setup, as well. Maybe it’s only spinning at single digit RPM and you can’t tell.
So I can easily get pretty much all of this through kwix directly? That will work. Throw it on my Raid. My media server is badly overworked but I should be able to use any old sbc as a frontend for the archive.
Anybody know where to find an archive of this disk?
It’s all publicly available info, or was. I’ve got a Raid 5 I can throw it on, might come in handy during power outs and such.
I’ve got spare hard drives, and an old Pi and other computers around. No need to spend $189 on this when you can pretty easily DIY. The value is the prepackaged archive.
I see projects like kwix and such, but I don’t immediately see this archive or anything comparable. Haven’t looked into this before.
BTW, if you’re actually worried about the end of the world or whatever, this won’t save you. Make friends with your neighbors and communities. If you don’t have a physical trade, you need to learn one like fixing shit or growing really good weed.

Hell of a thing, ain’t it? I remember the tail end of Regan as a child. I come from evangelicals, these are the sort of events I would expect them to freak out about, but instead, they’re willingly along for the ride.
What’s your old lady’s cop show? My girl is always looking for new trash TV while she works.
Like you, I hate the fucking pigs. Got stories about corrupt sheriffs and gang rape and shit. Fuckem.
Here’s a fun one from when I was a kid. Had a '65 Chevy fleet side pickup for my first truck. Worked at a tater farm. Was driving home from work and I got pulled over for the first time. I wasn’t even wearing boots, just jeans and a straw hat. Complete redneck, may still have had a mullet.
Cop walks up and tells me, “roll down your window.”
“I can’t, don’t have a handle.”
“Open the door.”
“I don’t have a handle for the door on this side, can you open it?”
Cop opens the door and asks me, little red in the face, “Do you know why I pulled you over?”
“It wasn’t for speeding because I can’t in this truck.”
“You don’t have a license plate.”
I look at the back glass where it was taped up, and sure enough, it’s gone. “Hang on, let me grab it.” So I search around in the passenger foot well and find the license plate, duct tape still attached. A Cheetos bag is stuck to it. I hand the assembly to the cop. “Sorry mister, it fell down.”
Watch the cop take the license plate, duct tape and Cheeto bag to his car. Could see his shoulders jumping in my rearview, I assume he was laughing his ass off while he radioed that shit in.
Gave me my plate and tape assembly back, told me to fix it, and let me go.
You ever end up in Yankee land, Pittsburgh way, holler at me and we’ll take you out to dinner.
