- Comment on Trump supporter Rick Fuze was arrested in CA for using a stun gun on peaceful protesters outside a Tesla dealership. The woman kicking this guy’s ass is a retired professor with 16,000 citations. 2 days ago:
In my area of California while the crazy element is still present it generally means they mod their weapons in particularly volatile or weird ways, maybe they have an obsession with a particular era of weapons as well. Honestly it’s a pretty informal term where the only useful measurement is that most folks who could be described as gun nots probably press their own ammo.
So it can be a neutral term depending on region at least, either that or my Redneck is showing. Frankly speaking though I have seen folks (usually yuppies) throw fits because folks have either rare or “scary” looking firearms, apparently there was an incident at a gun range relatively near me where some stupid bitch called the cops cause a dude pulled out a Browning Automatic Rifle.

There’s also a hypothesis I’ve seen floating around that Celtic bards and Nordic Skalds may have had higher rates of autism. Basically the idea is that the requirements for memorizing, maintenance, and application of laws which they kept would be easier for folks with autism.

I still think someone needs to make a gaming screen with built in retro screen emulator capabilities. Fuck you’re 8K ultra wide crap I want to play old school games in their proper resolution without it looking like crap.

Good to see the Primarch of the Raven guard enjoying an alliteration break between tormenting Lorgar. Though I feel like it’d be more productive to go after Erebus, could probably get half the Traitor legions to help him.

And this boys, girls, and the Eldritch entity in my cupboard is why the humanities are so important, if you want other examples go watch the Behind the Bastards episodes on the Zizians.

Counterpoint it’s not theft if you’re related and they clearly weren’t using it. Also it’s not theft if they stole something first, looking at you Japan stealing our swear words you fucking cock sucking bastards.

Pair of leather gloves and some time, there aren’t too many needles on the fruits themselves so you can just kinda pull them out, alternatively you use a knives.

I know there’s some animal fossils in New Zealand that date back to its colonization by the ancestors of the Maori, so about the 1400s. Though I don’t know if they are partially or fully fossilized.

Also I’m pretty sure losing folks to stupid wars in England didn’t help, the Great Heathen army and the conquest of England by Sweyn Forkbeard come to mind. No the relative prosperity and peace of Cnut the Great doesn’t make up for the theoretical brain drain.
- Comment on Inching closer to the grave every day 2 weeks ago:
Perhaps I should’ve spelled out why I am so willing to embrace death. I do not care about myself and of the general opinion that I could do more for mankind by throwing myself into violence. I wish to make someone I hate or who opposes my end goals bleed out right alongside me, I ain’t picky. The problem is that even if I end up like my 3X great grandfather and practically don’t age till I’m 70 I would still face some amount of slowdown in my physical or mental faculties, slowdown that may make me less effective.
The only way I could be convinced otherwise would be if I could purge my biological fathers blood from my veins. Or if I do my damnedest to get myself killed and somehow survive. Not like I’m rushing into it, I swore an oath to my friends that I wouldn’t do anything unless I get a Stamford bridge.
- Comment on Inching closer to the grave every day 2 weeks ago:
Fuck im 25 and feel 40, this is why I will not shy away from my day of destined death. I can feel that it’ll be before I’m 40 and I frankly want nothing to do with being 40.

In my defense it may as well all be in the Runic alphabet, can I technically read it sure but can I understand it properly fuck no.

Thanks for giving me a model name, I don’t speak Swedish so researching it has been somewhat annoying at times. Also I can’t read anything on the label either and translate has been stupid about it.

It’s solid and has been my main hat since I got it, helps cover my ears a bit too so they don’t get burned. The sun is a deadly laser

I also have a 1960s wire field phone that they would use in Vietnam. I am still trying to figure out how to get it working with an Aux jack.

You can definitely get plenty of Mil spec shit, just not what you really expect. My hat is a Swedish army cap worn by some dude named Alber Kempf in Tunisia circa 1991.
- Comment on Baldur's Gate 3 and Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 show that the future of RPGs is in games way more ambitious, weird and unexpected than anything Bethesda and Bioware have to offer 3 weeks ago:
Elden Ring better classified as an action RPG, to use an analog its more akin to PnP dungeon crawlers in how it approaches its RPG elements. While say Baldurs Gate 3 is closer to an extended campaign PnP game. They are both RPGs but that’s such a broad grouping so as to be meaningful, an atlatl and a welding torch are both tools but there’s no meaningful overlap.

- Comment on Anon visits a bookstore 1 month ago:
Theres a local used bookstore which is only vaguely organized, smells of decades if not centuries old paper, the politics section is just piles of conservative nonsense and two rows of well organized works by economic philosophers, and theres a cobweb covered copy of Dianetics on top of the Sci-fi shelf. It is truly cozy and glorious.
- Comment on Polyglot de naissance 1 month ago:
Yes but in a bit of an odd way as I ubderstand it, not quite a cousin of English not quite a dialect but its given the classification of an independent language since most folks cant understand it fully. Frankly if Scots is its own language then about a dozen other dialects and accents need to be reclassified as well starting with West Country.
- Comment on Polyglot de naissance 1 month ago:
Yeah a better one for the list would be Scots, or maybe Caijun English dialect.
