- Comment on What are they even doing in school these days? 12 hours ago:
The terrorism charge is because that’s the only way New York state can charge first degree murder. Weird as hell law.
- Comment on The South in a Nutshell 1 day ago:
It’s a small town. Of course the necessary elements of civilization would be close together.
- Comment on How Worried Should We Be About Bird Flu? California has declared a state of emergency over the virus. We asked experts how concerned they are. 2 days ago:
This is a nothing burger. Humans aren’t good at calculating risk, especially risk in our huge, modern world. And many have a sort of COVID PTSD. And the media is hyping on that.
tl;dr; Walking out your front door is far riskier.
- Comment on Shitter's full, season's greetings. 2 days ago:
Camper parts can be expensive. Blast it with bleach and go. OTOH, $65?! I picked up a porcelain toilet for my camp for free.
- Comment on "You can't have our trash because we don't have a way to charge you for it" 2 days ago:
Love you! I’m all about dumpster diving, finding free shit, etc.
Coworker of mine used to go out with her husband, crack of dawn, twice a week. They’d pick of trash before the garbage truck arrived, have a garage sale every Saturday. Give away what ever didn’t go.
LMFAO, they would make $300-$400 every weekend! “Yeah, we pick up our neighbor’s trash and sell it back to them.”
In the 90s I had a paper route. Used to pick up vacuum cleaners on the curb. Cleaned with a new belt and bag? Done. I couldn’t keep any in stock. Nice beer money!
Another friend of mine picks up free washers and dryers. The parts are mostly the same and the shit’s free. He’d make $500-$800 a week flipping 'em on Marketplace. And this guy was already clocking $100K at his day job!

LOL. The politically correct police are on your ass tonight!
I cannot believe the seriousness of these replies. What is it the kids say? “Touch grass”?
- Comment on Great tee shirt with words of wisdom that I bet you never realized 2 days ago:
Good god, that’s what I came to say. Thank you.
We got the lemmy police on here though. “You can’t say that word!”
- Comment on Great tee shirt with words of wisdom that I bet you never realized 2 days ago:
Everyone has touched a vagina. You at least passed one on the way out.
- Comment on Does the USA simply have no food safety standard at all? 2 days ago:
Which company?
- Comment on Sovereign citizen. 3 days ago:
Fuck me. Reminds me of dad’s old friend with a giant marijuana leaf painted on his van. Dude was dumbfounded as to why he kept getting pulled over.
- Comment on Anyone notice how Brian Thompson dies and suddenly aliens start attacking? 3 days ago:
That’s a Ruger American. Maybe $700, tax, tag and title?
- Comment on Anyone notice how Brian Thompson dies and suddenly aliens start attacking? 3 days ago:
Show me a drone that can kill me outside of a shotgun’s range.
- Comment on Anyone notice how Brian Thompson dies and suddenly aliens start attacking? 3 days ago:
I have 10 or so shotguns of all sorts. None of them put out much spread at 25’. That would almost be too close.
- Comment on It's 54 degrees Fahrenheit (12 Celsius), raining moderately hard, the rain is cold, and there's a guy blowing around wet leaves with a leaf blower. What the hell is the obsession with leaf blowers? 4 days ago:
What is with the leaf blower hate around here? Must be a Yankee thing, never hear them around here.
And if you live in an apartment complex, they have to clear the leaves. They get slippery. You do the math.
- Comment on Seut 6 days ago:
Suet. It’s fat and seeds mixed together. I use it for woodpeckers.
- Comment on He was pretty awful too, you know. 1 week ago:
The Mitsubishi Torpedo Plant in Nagasaki, Japan was the secondary target of the atomic bombing on August 9, 1945. Just sayin’.
- Comment on Some disabled workers are making pennies per hour. Will that change under Trump? 1 week ago:
If the government mandates they be paid more, they simply won’t have jobs at all. Businesses aren’t going to choose someone with Down’s for the same cost as someone without.
- Comment on DOJ IG reveals 26 FBI informants were present on Jan. 6 1 week ago:
3 agents purposefully sent there. OK. Seems like a sane thing for our top cops to investigate. I’m concerned there weren’t more boots on the ground.
26 with no authorization.
Among 2,500 people?
Something like .01% were FBI “plants”, if we’re being extraordinarily liberal with that word? And keep in mind, this event was in DC. There’s maybe a few local FBI guys?
If anything, this disproves that the FBI was agitating or participating in the event. If anything, the unauthorized participants might say something about the conservative bent of the FBI. An agency, much like the military, who should have no political bend.
It’s embarrassing to bandy this about as a conservative “win”.
- Comment on How do I win a fight with a lion? 1 week ago:
Extended mags are notorious for jamming. Remember the asshole shooter in Aurora? Yeah, he had to toss his AR-15 because his tacticool mag jammed right off the bat.
- Comment on How do I win a fight with a lion? 1 week ago:
Sampson would work as well.
- Comment on A cool guide to US States that have a rat problem 1 week ago:
This guy is over me in both IQ and EQ. Even my dumbass could have pulled this off, or at least got much further away, and longer. And I wouldn’t leave a fucking manifesto. He wanted to get caught.
- Comment on 28 Years Later (2025, dir Danny Boyle) 1 week ago:
OK, that might get me in a theater.
- Comment on Anon visits Alabama 1 week ago:
I don’t believe:
Anyone snuck up on a squirrel.
Anyone caught a squirrel.
Between two Alabama men, neither had a .22 or pellet rifle.
- Comment on Does anyone else think the NYPD photos of the UHC CEO shooting suspect don’t match? 2 weeks ago:
Massad Ayoub is the man when it comes to firearms and law. I know of no one more expert.
- Comment on Torrent of Hate for Health Insurance Industry Follows C.E.O.’s Killing 2 weeks ago:
OK, I agree that will be the reaction. So maybe some will take the action a little further down the line from CEO.
- Comment on Tipping culture is out of control, even the cops expect tips now! 2 weeks ago:
I believe that pic was taken by a security cam from the hostel he was checked into.
- Comment on Insurance agent making a last stand in downtown NYC, after being cornered by policyholders (2026) 2 weeks ago:
Now that you know the movie, search for the bank robbery scene. It may be the best gunfight ever filmed.
- Comment on Are there any actual free programs that clean up all bloat ware on a new laptop? Without them putting hidden stuff in? 2 weeks ago:
No lie. OP is clearly asking about a factory Windows install.
“LINUX!”
Yeah. We know. That wasn’t the question.
- Comment on Are there any actual free programs that clean up all bloat ware on a new laptop? Without them putting hidden stuff in? 2 weeks ago:
Also, if Windows was ever activated on that machine, it’s good to go forever. Far quicker to reinstall and wipe (as part of the process) than mucking around removing crap.
SOURCE: Done this a 100 times for corporate machines.
- Comment on Who stole all the pies? Michelin-starred chef 'gutted' at theft of 2,500 pies. 2 weeks ago:
OP beat us both. :(
