It’s certainly a crime, they’d probably call it terroristic threats or some such. It’s on the level of shouting “fire!” In a crowded theater
- Comment on Everyone freaked out 6 days ago:
I know a few guys that hunt with ARs. Most of the guys I work with have at least one for target shooting. The small handful of guys who feel like they need a weapon for “protection” have a pistol set aside for that purpose.

Wasn’t he a huge fan of Rousey? A woman who lucked her way in to a top spot and couldn’t hold it for 2 full rounds?

Ok but how many horse worms does he have??
Checkmate.
- Comment on Joe Rogan thinks AI running the government would ‘stop all wars on the planet’ 1 week ago:
So he’s right. AI would end human civilization and stop all wars. Easy.
This is a great example of a broken clock. Arriving at the correct conclusion simply by random chance.
- Comment on Fuckin CEO's and billionaires gotta go 3 weeks ago:
Closeout sale all billionaires must go!
Due to tragic, predictable and entirely preventable circumstances we are currently OVERSTOCKED on billionaires and they’re passing the misery on to YOOOOUUUUU!
Are you broke? Depressed? Working your ass off and still struggling to make ends meet? Then you my friend just need to take out the billionaire class! It’s free and good for you! WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO LOSE???

My one and only order from them came damaged, and was replaced no questions asked without the insurance.
- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 4 weeks ago:
Correct.
I submit a payment manually through my bank. Every month. Paying all of my bills this way takes about 5 minutes. At some point you have to ask yourself how much you’ve given up for the illusion of convenience.
- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 4 weeks ago:
It is!
You’re really primed to expect to pay so much more than the asking price for literally every transaction. It’s fucking awful. Tax. Tip. “Estimated totals” convenience fees. Fuck you fees. Fees for the bees. You got too many fees fees. Subscription fee. “That was the price if you subscribe, it costs more if you don’t” fee.
I fucking hate this place
- Comment on Every payment option has a fee 4 weeks ago:
Seriously, do this.
Also, never, under any circumstances, allow a company to automatically withdraw funds directly from your bank account.
“Ope, we’ve changed the terms of service, and charged you a backdated amount based on the new terms of service you’ve already consented to by paying us”
They don’t get a dime until I know for damn sure I’m giving it to them. If an organization refuses to do business with you without direct access to your bank account, it’s because their business model depends on them being able to fuck you.
Credit cards and physical paper checks only for recurring transactions. Amex if they’ll take it. Don’t let them keep your debit card on file either.

The Ghost and the Darkness, Val Kilmer. I enjoyed that movie a lot. But every time that handsome devil smiled it took me right out of 18th century Kenya and straight to 1996 LA TMZ.

You can get a mini mill and do a CNC conversion, I know a few guys that have done just that. A few stepper motors and a little code gets you a long way.

I have a mini mill in my garage. I makeb ghost firearms as a hobby.
I have a bit of experience with a mill, but even if I *didn’t * these are not hard skills to learn yourself. A couple hundred bucks for a mini mill on marketplace and a few hunted bucks for a blank and some tooling and anybody could be making ghost guns in their living room.

Get the mini korbel bottles in bulk at Costco.
While you’re there, they sell cheap high proof liquor by the crate. They also sell socks by the crate.

- Comment on Hexagonal slotted misalignment 1 month ago:
Hexagonal material is fed through a die and held in place while grinding wheels push in the hollows in each face, generally simultaneously. The tip is cut off and sent to another process to finish the back and deburr.
The alignment of the head is intentional on both parts. Generally you want the flats to continue all the way up the side. Particularly wide flats have to be aligned diagonally.

Again, we have already passed that step. Cheeto Mussolini is already in power. His goons already have unchecked power to round up anyone they want.
we are the reactionaries.

Because it’s beer. Generally the way laws are written in the us, they call out beer, wine, and spirits, or some such wording, not being available to under 21s.
Laws generally do not mention alcohol content of whatever it is you’re buying.
Vice is difficult to regulate, and laws surrounding vice are imperfect

Fascism in Italy had a lot more to do with nationalism than leftism, ultimately it wasn’t really a leftist movement at all. I’m not sure if you’re aware of the current state of the US but we already have an ethno-nationalism problem here, and it’s exactly the thing we’re trying to fight against.

I’ll keep it in mind not to try to rebuild the Roman empire while I advocate for extreme social reform.

They will never give it to you.
You will have to take it by force.

Cost of living is a big factor here. 100k in NYC is comparable to 50k in the Midwest. Stepping outside in NYC feels like it costs 100 dollars every time you do it.
- Comment on The rich passing our money back & forth 1 month ago:
An economist is at a baseball game when he sees a man outraged that a hotdog costs twelve dollars, and a beer costs 20. “I just wanted to have a fun day with my family, but tickets are suddenly 100 dollars! Now this?!”
What an idiot, the economist thinks. Can’t he see the revenue he’s generating?? The economist pays 64 dollars for two hotdogs and two beers, which he immediately drops on the ground, which makes him very happy.
