Feels like a blunder. Westerners/ Americans generally look left to right (because of the way we read). They also lost the closing statement. The headline seems stupid at first, but I think this is a blunder by the Biden campaign. It's a small one, but this is going to be a close election. Every decision matters.

Bumpstocks are oldshit in comparison to "super safeties." They push the trigger forward after you shoot. So you just squeeze, and you get quick individual trigger pulls at close to an automatic rate. It's also easier to aim. Also, it's a tiny piece you can 3d print. Also, I'm NOT linking it.

Dude, hormone blockers exist. They don't have any advantages if they're on hormones/ hormone blockers.

Guys, stop trying to figure out the average. You guys should look for the mode (the most common income, not all income added and divided).

Edit: If anyone has the mode for american income, I'd love to hear it. I can't find it. Just the median and average.

Xanthrax , 11 days ago

Yes. That's another good thing to get into. If you have the resources, please do everything you can to bring wealth inequality into the limelite.

Have you ever heard of Veterans Row? (I don't support Russia)

It's across the street from the VA in Westwood. It's also right next to a really dangerous intersection, and people will plow into their tents. There was supposed to be a campus there, so people lived their in protest/ to have access to the VA. I used to live in a cheap sublet around the corner from them during the pandemic. It was strange how bougie the area was in contrast. The "war on homelessness" turned into a war on the homeless.

I'm surprised, this is a surprise. Living in the US, Mexico has forced conscription just south of us for a while. We've also had a draft. All that being said, you made a lot of good points. We should probably credit the people who came up with this a LONG time ago.

Whoa, that's a really cool dragon! Can you teach me how to draw that?

I wanted to know so badly: I'm learning about fuel injection now. I guess I know more about my weed-wacker now, too (We only use carburetors for small engines, now).

Would you believe there are libertarian communists? It sounds like a contradiction. Old queer couples should be able to protect their Marijuana plants with guns and pay their taxes for welfare.

Or to be more exact: "LET ME BUILD A FUCKING SHED ON MY OWN LAND. ALSO, STOP TEARING DOWN HOMELESS PEOPLES' TENTS."

All that being said, the libertarian party has taken a horrible turn and I hate being conflated with a guy who had brain worms.

Xanthrax , 27 days ago (edited 27 days ago)

I want to be on the side that's NOT on the HOA. What about this sounds like I want to police your yard? I'm advocating for personal freedoms. I'm: Pro choice. Pro Marijuana. Pro mail in vote. Pro welfare. Pro camping. Honestly, fuck you for being unnecessarily dogmatic. There are libertarians out there who DON'T say "lEt tHE StaTEs DecIde."

Xanthrax , 27 days ago (edited 27 days ago)

It would be hard to wave a gun and type, lol. That's a battle AGAINST HOA and the city council. Also, I don't identify with them. I'm a libertarian communist, not a "red pilled, tech bro, toll roading, anti-choice," libertarian. I've largely denounced my party. I believe in the ideals, not the party. I don't think that's petty. If you do, I don't think you're politically active. That's fine, but you should probably pull your head out of your asshole.

Edit: I noticed you're editing your comments

I'm drunk, and I'll admit I'm being hostile. Also, fuck lawns. They're a French staple meant to express wealth. They kill pollinators. I just want to build a shed. I like shed.

In school, suspension is solitary. I'm just throwing that out there. You have a pencil/ pen and a packet of assignments. You're there from 7 am to 2 pm. I get what they're saying though.

That or just call HR and pretend to be a complaining customer. Use *67 or text free. I did that ONCE and had a new boss in a month. (Yes, they deserved it)

I've got a thriving little eco system of lizards and spiders in my house. Love those guys.

That would hurt so much. Their tongues lick meat from bone.

If anyone is wondering: yes, people use real photos as a reference for their background art. In anime/ manga, they'll often trace and then use watercolor/ digital art/ ink.

Berserk has a whole host of real-world inspirations that are really neat. Here's an example:

One Punch Man has a lot of IRL tracing aswell.

Asus > Lenovo

They're very similar, but you get to support Taiwan with Asus. You don't have a pointing stick, though; if that's something you care about. The hardware is also similar, but Lenovo generally has better cases/ outershells, but Asus also outperforms them on price point and internal hardware and software.

Xanthrax , 3 months ago

I'm down with that, too. Depends on your needs, though.

Xanthrax , 3 months ago

Yes! Here's one example: https://www.asus.com/us/laptops/for-students/br-series/asus-br1402c/

Like I said, they don't offer as many external accessories, but they're pretty close.

This is coming from someone who grew up using thinkpads. If I were to buy a used laptop for something personal, I'd go with a thinkpad. If I have to buy something new, it's Asus.

If you share an ISP with a conservative (roomates), and the ISP sends you mail because you forgot your VPN, they will scream at you like you stole a car, and they're harboring a fugitive.

Supersets and subsets are pretty simple, and I wish more people would use them when contextualizing human knowledge. (Especially supersets)

I agree; that's why I'm disappointed.

We're out there. Arm the working class and all it's minorities! (But yeah, defence only)

We can be better, IMO

Xanthrax , 3 months ago (edited 3 months ago)

I believe we need to live by example and embrace martyrdom, while simultaneously doing as much as possible to increase the quality of living, for those who will do the same in the future. Violence isn't a part of that picture, but I acknowledge the right to self defense.

I understand if you don't want to embrace that.

The best "offence", is love, kindness, and sense of community; a place to call "home".
