Couldn’t you just weld the barrel sealed like they do for prop guns?
- Comment on How do fonts for people with dyslexia work? 4 days ago:
It looks like that one targets low vision more than dyslexia so it lacks things like heavy bottoms. However, they are both easier to read than typical typefaces.
Similarly, the US govt used Calibri for a short time since it’s more accessible than other typefaces. But as with anything intended to help people, Trump axed it
- Comment on Is gender affirming care for cis people a thing? 4 days ago:
Yes. Viagra, breast implants, breast reduction, hair transplants, laser hair removal, cosmetic surgery, even Musk’s botched penis job are all forms of gender affirming surgery
- Comment on Can you open up an unmanned store in the US and will it stay in business or close down? 4 days ago:
I’ve seen similar in Canada (though not public public), but never saw anything like that in ~25yrs in the US
- Comment on Realistically, what do people plan to do on the Moon and Mars that requires a permanent, or long term human presence there? 5 days ago:

- Comment on In about 3 or 4 years can I move to Canada with 250k US and get myself a trailer and a couple acres to grow pot for the community? Get a license to sell it to local businesses? 6 days ago:
My partner got her citizenship through ancestry, though it was relatively easier since she has a much closer connection.
You’ll have to dig up every document to prove your line of ancestry back to Canada. Word of mouth is not enough, they’re looking for certified birth/death/baptismal records. If your ancestry comes from Quebec, I hope you can read liturgicsl French.
Be warned that the cost and processing times for these have skyrocketed recently. The cost for a record from the BANQ went from around $30 to close to $300 iirc
- Comment on Can I break my sense of taste? 1 week ago:
There’s a specific chemical extract from some berry that makes EVERYTHING taste like Splenda. You can bite into a lemon and it will taste sweet. Lasts a few minutes, fun novelty

- Comment on Number of trackers and cookies I had to go thru after installing a currency converter app 4 weeks ago:
I miss when you could toss an app developer $5 and never have to deal with ads or data mining. Nowadays everything is a subscription model absolutely riddled with both.

- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 4 weeks ago:
Oh for certain, there’s a large subset of the population (around 30% at a guess) who, much like Stephen Miller, are afraid of their own shadows and wish to exterminate anything that casts a shadow. For them, the reasonable doubt is purely a facade. They are fully Nazis, they just won’t admit it publicly (but even that social veil has started to crumble)
There’s also a large portion of the population who is largely unaffected by or uninterrested in politics. Here, reasonable doubt is among the tactics employed to make them look away, allowing the Nazis to maintain control. For the most part, these are the “both siders” who prefer a false peace through inaction.
If you ask me, both groups are idiots. They’re powerful idiots but nevertheless they’re the lowest percentile that humanity has to offer.

They put all transgender people in the same bin. They’re straight up Nazis.
- Comment on So Austistici/Inventati just got designated as a "global terrorist organisation" by the Trump administration, what do I do now? 4 weeks ago:
The Trump regime is proud of that. They are happy to do all the signalling that they are dill blown fascists short of admitting directly to it. That way there’s enough “reasonable doubt” that they can sell their snake oil to idiots.

- Comment on I either want to learn French or Italian. Which should I learn in your opinion? 4 weeks ago:
Selon moi, je trouve que les Québécois sont plus amicaux que les Français en apprenant la langue, tant qu’on ne dit pas «parking» 😂
- Comment on I either want to learn French or Italian. Which should I learn in your opinion? 4 weeks ago:
I speak English, Spanish, and French
French is a lot more globally applicable. Outside of France it can be used in Canada, Belgium, Switzerland (I think?), and basically everywhere else France has stuck their dick. Italian is mostly limited to Italy and parts of NYC.
That said, they’re both romance languages so they’ll have some similarities. If you reach a point where you’re comfortable with it, it’s easy enough to switch to the other one. Italian sounds much closer to Spanish so it’s easier to springboard to Spanish from it than it is from French, if you ever want to.
Learning a language can only ever benefit you so you can’t go wrong either way
(Mais surtout, je vais te recommander le français simplement parce que c’est lequel que j’ai appris et aime lol)

You haven’t been following their voter suppression techniques haven’t you? I’ll be surprised if there even are midterms. Protests won’t get you out of that
- Comment on Just got arrested for a supposed DWI even though I blew a 0.0000000. Don't cops need to read your Miranda rights to you? I asked for a blood or hair follicle test and I was denied. WTH is happening? 2 months ago:
Something similar happened to me once, though I ended up leaving unscathed. I had just returned from visiting my friend a state away and had just taken a passenger ferry. I had my dog with me, who was sleeping in the passenger seat at the time, and the back of the car was full of luggage.
Of course, as I’m about to get home I get pulled over and suspected of drinking. I hadn’t had a single drop to drink that day and explained to them that I was just getting home. Of course the pigs take my info and interrogate me on the side of the road for like 20 minutes trying to get a confession that never came.
The pigs kept trying to put words into my mouth. They kept insisting that I had been on a party ferry (with my dog somehow), and kept implying that my dog was dangerous (she was asleep). I legitimately feared they were trying to fabricate a reason to shoot her.
Finally, they return to their cop car and spend ages doing whatever it is pigs do in their mobile pen. I assume talking and checking my background for any criminal activity (I have none).
Finally they return in a huff, give me my license, and send me off
- Comment on How come in the trucking industry they are very against carrying a gun? Some area's my sister went into in new york I would have carried an AK-47. No offense NY. 2 months ago:
The only parts of NY where I roll my windows up and don’t stop are rural upstate. Or do you really believe NYC is like Batman’s Arkham?
