I love the war bond soldier shit they have going on.

The first part of the first season is rough, the show is really a struggle in terms of hopelessness.

Honestly the only reason I gave it a chance is one of my favorite Youtube channels went over it (spoiled some but still worth a watch.)
Wisecrack, a fucking absolute unit of a literary and philosophy channel.

I generally like context that recognizes the appeal of fascism without venerating it. It's a good way to steel yourself against reactionary groupthink.

It probably can't be saved tbqh. Failing business model with the same failing panic strategy as Macy's or Sears.

But it'd be nice on the rare occasion I need a cable immediately and can't wait for Amazon 3 day shipping (sometimes overnight) . . . it'd be nice if BestBuy actually stocked a huge variety of reasonably priced cables.
I've had to go there for HDMI cables that I needed but with my only option being $35, fuck that noise, I'll wait.

They need to be a bit more like Micro Center and actually have a variety of pc parts.
There's something to be said for being able to put your hands on a product. Would to be able to test high end headphones or VR or racing rigs without the gmble, plus I'd actually probably buy it there.

Yum for sure but there's no place near me that does it, definitely a home cooked meal situation.

explain? i've read / heard that advice so many times from people experienced with boom boom sticks.

Shotguns generally have less rounds you can carry.
Most aren't semiautomatic and most of the semis are 26in+ duck guns.
They're loud as fuck and bright and can't be suppressed. So follow up shots are going to be more difficult.
They have more recoil, again a problem for follow up shots and flinching (can be worked through)
They don't even have as much spread as you'd imagine in typical household ranges.
They have less barrier/armor defeating capabilities (kind of a larpy reason but it's still valid.)

A high capacity, easily controllable rifle is going to be your best friend in close quarter home defense.

support board across the middle helps reduce bag bounce. it matters.

Seems like it'd be pretty easy to upgrade a cheaper board if that's the case. *shrug*
Wouldn't even take a lot of tools or knowledge.

Giant_Aspirin posted...

if you're actually interested in "home defense" and not LARPing as a soldier, get a shotgun.

No.

No, if you're getting an AR platform just get 556 or 223.

If you want a carbine, get one that has interchangable magazines with a pistol.
For example Rugers 57 platform. Good carry piece, excellent home defense rifle.

It only sounds expensive because you guys are prolly used to the cheap generic brands. It's just like anything else really. There's the 200 dollar bikes at Walmart and then there's the top quality professional bikes that are in the thousands.

You could buy a solid gold fork and it's not necessarily going to pick up food and make it taste any better than one from the dollar tree.

The issue here is fundamentally what it is and whether there's any justification over being overbuild and over engineered.
Do you need extra struts on the underside? Maybe. Does it justify the added cost . . .?

Backtracking a bit.

It's American made and looks like it has some legit features.
Eh. Still seems insane but whatever. Make sure you take care of it. Still seems like anyone with rudimentary shop skills could churn one out just as good.

But that puts us back in, "for only $900 worth of tools . . ." energy.

I'm not sure Miguel has done anything wrong yet tbqh.

I remember when I chose to be straight... oh wait.

I mean that's the best argument against that mindset.

I wonder how many closeted conservatives don't actual realize people don't have to choose to be straight, and actually do think it's action, not attraction, and that's why it comes down to choice in their minds.

They very obviously did not, hence the article, lolboy

You said "they ain't getting a knife" in response to the person that didn't know it wasn't sliced at location. No one that slices meat that thin at scale is using a knife to do it. "Knife" never needed to enter this topic.
The only mistake in my post was not saying, "they'll" instead of "they" implying current tense.

Well the advertising is ubiquitous. Also Wendy's 80's training videos are straight fire so if she's online a ton she may have seen them.

My daughter is a vegetarian. She understands McDonalds offers hamburgers.

Does show know which FF joints use fresh, never frozen beef or grind it themselvers?
Because that's a better comparison.

Default setup almost always.
So move with left, wasd, joystick, whatever.
Not relevant but fuck inverted.

Now they should start offering premium options.
If I could get some Boar's Head maybe* I'd try Subway again.

Bro, they're 15 years old. They ain't getting a knife.

They use a deli slicer not a knife lol.

And if he did, he painfully overpaid

Edit: Or I suppose got some really intricate customs

Ridiculous materials or some custom painting on it could justify the price but you'd probably have to look pretty hard to find a set like that or custom order from a woodworker.

No you didn't.

I went through the dispute thing in the app. I received no response of any sort. It's been almost a month.

What the fuck is, "the app"?
Taco Bell's? You card's?

If you paid with a credit card, they usually have a dispute purchase option on their app.
Never failed me.

Is the store not yet open and you're being impatient? They can't/wont do a refund?

radical_rhino posted...

Blatantly not valid/legal, but funny.

How so? Do you have an answer other than "cuz" and "my intuition on how govt should work."?

Not meaningfully.

I'm sure I've heard and signal boosted "more than just optimistic" claims/news for Ukraine's side.
But when it comes down to the nitty gritty in terms of cause, diplomacy, overarching direction. 100% facts.

I don't see how this wouldn't drastically weaken Superman.

Patent trolling.

MaxEffingBemis posted...

Is it an abuse of power if it actually helps people though?

It's not like it can't be undone by the next Governor or state Congress.
No one is actually permanently beholden to it for the next 400 years.

We need more long term planning in government!

Yea that's her MO.

cheetahs were domesticated animals at one point. They just stopped because it was too hard to breed them.

Tamed =/= domesticated.

Bleeding easily is actually a prerequisite to domestication.

The truth about pitbulls is they are cute bebes

Cheetah cubs are fucking adorable but let's not pretend trying to introduce them into public spaces wouldn't end badly.

ai123 posted...

These studies with their references and their statistics cannot hope to win against a picture of a pitbull not eating a toddler and some random's assertion that all the pitbulls they have met are 'sweet'.

"They don't know how to read the stats and these 'reported' pitbulls haven't been genetically screened, sure they have the same exactly physical phenotypes but dogs cute you racist!!!!" ~ derp

Hes talking about a girl having a dirty butthole and wanting it to be licked.

Yeah I wasn't confused about the particulars.

Are people actually this squeamish about sex?
Sex is messy, dirty, gross fun. Deal with it or stick to your 2d fantasies.

Time for another round of pitbull simp apologetics bingo.

Someone needs to pay.

The CEO died.
Should be be going after the companies that didn't certify the hull . . .? lol
Or his gopher for bring him coffee?

It's a crime that there isn't some directors cut of the HP series where each movie is like 4-5 hours long to be more accurate to the books.

I only read the first couple so most of my experience with it was from the movies, recently listened to them on audio and the books are so much better. Cliched position I know.

Anyways, LotR wins.

Considering Congress, his better shot would be catch them breaking the laws we all know they're breaking so they can be impeached and arrested (or simply arrested when GOP Senators refuse to impeach) and then replace them.

Yeah hard pass on that.

If Democrats truly believed diversity creates the best ideas, they would go for this. People with different beliefs and backgrounds should be involved in shaping the politics of the state.

The only thing Republicans have to offer is obstruction.

No dem is going to fall for either your bullshit or these guys'.

It's nice to see people finally understanding how important local and midterm elections are.

LOL get fuck MI GOP.

Seems like this would guarantee the species is wiped out in relatively short order.

Zanzenburger posted...

This is fair. Fortunately, you have the option to either pay off quickly and get rid of the loan on your credit, or hang on at the lower payment and wait for forgiveness at a later time.

Whether that's a good idea depends on whether you think Republicans will take power in the next 20 years and if they'll keep this.

Mathematically, min payments and waiting is the smart move. But in reality . . . get as much ahead as possible imo.

If I burn $100 out of my own wallet will Vegy lose $1?
If so, that.

GeraldDarko posted...

but would those profits have been used to make things better?

Youtube has one of the most generous creator payout schemes when it comes to social media platforms.
So maybe.

I don't know how much revenue is lost to adblocker so the real answer is, "it's probably too marginal to really improve the situation."

If a much larger fraction of users were using premium, it would make a world of difference in creator income which should improve the content.

GeraldDarko posted...

Don't you dare go to the bathroom or do something else during commercials while you watch TV- thats how they fund the programing, and if you don't watch it, you're a cheapskate.

What a weird and stupid analogy.

Sounds good to me.
As someone that was and will continue to argue against huge write-offs, the govt. eating the interest (aka opportunity cost) on this is a fine way to invest in our future.

Now let's makes college free from jump.

What do you do when you get treated like this?

Just read the topic about youtube adblock + premium lol.

I just lean in and make the case. Cheap fucks can kick rocks.
