For those who want to either go insane, or have limitless limited gloating capability!

Limitless, because to those who know how difficult it is, they will never doubt your skill and dedication.

Limited because to those who don’t know, they don’t care.

And I will have absolutely none of that madness in my life, I’ve gotten enough suffering for many lifetimes… I don’t need to self inflict more!

Now if you’ll excuse me, I have a date with Novice and only fun skulls…

More commonly referred to as LASO (Legendary All Skulls On)

The more you know about the process of oil/coal and how it’s extracted and used, the more you would be convinced Satan or some sort of evil chaos demon like Nurgle is responsible for it.

It starts with death, and goes right on to burning in LITERAL fire to produce toxic gasses. Basically the traditional Christian Hell.

If the options are “I die, my pets die, my entire family dies, a slow painful climate and pollution-driven death”

Vs

“these 20 companies get permanently shut down, their resources reallocated, their infrastructure dismantled and repurposed, their employees find new jobs potentially repurposong said industry, and executives get locked in solitary for the rest of their lives”

I know which I’d pick.

And if it’s legal to use lethal force when defending one’s life and one’s family, then it’s legal to use lethal force to defend one’s life and family

Companies can die without a single real human being hurt.

Tldr people try to game image recognition, word filters, etc to increase visibility of their post on social media. It works.

People are slaves to the algorithm, even if they claim to not care. If you alter your post to increase visibility, you are playing by it’s rules.

By censoring even potentially blockable words, not only are they improving the odds it will go to a wider audience, they get people to comment “why is that word censored/why is there a random dot/erase spot?” which drives up engagement stats, thus sending it to even more people.

Anyone who thinks otherwise is an idiot who should have a dunce cap taped to their head.

Legitimately, I’ve been feeling like I’m just a jaded cynic because my first thought after seeing the videos was “yeah, 100% they got paid or encouraged to do this by someone in the IDF/Government/mossad in order to continue the victim narrative they love to play nowadays”

Like… Maybe I’m just a shitty person, but it feels like the government of Israel really wants the world to equate the government with the people, and the country with all jews everywhere. So if you criticize one, you clearly must hate ALL of them, and therefore you are no better than a nazi in WW2.

It’s the same society that just elected a fascist dictator-wannabe. No matter how many intelligent people you know, there’s enough to do that.

Maybe warning labels were a mistake…

It’s gonna be peak face-eating season during holidays when my parents go to retire during this presidency but find out that they can’t because social security doesn’t exist anymore, 75% of their paycheck goes to either the military budget or kings tribute tax, and everything has doubled in price.

Trump has said… for whatever that’s worth.

His words are worth their weight in gold!

It’s a wee bit out of my bailiwick, sad to say. Their “hobby smarts” are my “oh my god this is the most concentration I’ve ever had to use to figure something out smarts” although regular astronomy is a hobby I can never get enough of

All I’ve got for now is a tiny 4in newtonian , and though I do want to upgrade, it’s on the back burner for a few years while all my other expenses are sorted.

Still orders of magnitude better than the refractor I used to have.

you wouldn’t treat a broken ankle with strong painkillers and continue walking as if nothing was wrong just because it doesn’t hurt anymore - would you?

Of course not! We limp around trying to keep it from hurting, praying to any deity that will listen and some that won’t that it heals before you have to pay for a visit to urgent care.

The pills are just to help us go to work while we mentally figure out how many meals we will be skipping to pay for it.

Now ask me if I’m joking.

I wonder if this is also one of those genetic things like cilantro, because ibuprofen tastes nasty as fuck to me. Like “bitter and my tongue wants to cut itself off to stop the taste even after a drink” nasty.

Daily reminder that the moral high ground is littered with corpses.

Honestly this was my first thought.

“sounds like the DOD wanted to test if anyone would notice they moved something with the X37”

Never underestimate how far amateur radio telescope operators will go for a clean sky.

I haven’t spoken to one of my trucker cousins since 2016. Used to talk every family gathering, shoot the shit and catch up, talk about whatever until it was time to leave.

Now I actively ignore that he has even spoken if we’re at the same family gathering that I didn’t set up or host. Hasn’t been invited to any that I do.

And apparently, he “doesn’t know why”

The same kind of person who shares this as if it’s some sort of condemnation see absolutely no problem sitting on the couch, pounding down 15 beers a night, and scream at their wife and kids

I’m confused

Who are “you guys”?

And what does “did gun control laws?” mean exactly?

The thought that nobody on here wants to own firearms or stock up for defense of the people they care about (especially in countries who have recently slid further down the fascism slide) is laughable.

This feels like a “so much for the tolerant left” post.

Lmao “tolerant left” is how we got here.

My first thought was “So we call ‘following the law’ a loophole now?”

If the law meant a fucking thing, he would have been in prison decades ago.
