but fr North East Ohio Regional Sewer District seems awesome, shame they’re in Ohio.

That’s where they stick the flourine into the water. Don’t be mislead by the color and smell, you should be drinking the soup. What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger, amirite?

The More Perfect Union video has a guy saying that 25-30% of local farmers in that area lost their farm.

And why would so many farmers commit suicide if it wasn’t that bad? The More Perfect Union also talks about how they have one of the highest rate of suicides, and in that community 5 farmers out of a few hundred committed suicide in a single year.

Maybe it’s not as bad as media presents or whatever, but it’s not like it’s going great for farmers.

stripping the land owning class of their assets.

It’s not like shrinking the number of land owners is good, though?

yo, buldak is fire

On one hand way too few leftists mask, on the other hand the only people I know still masking are leftists. The only orgs, meetings, and groups that require masks in my area are leftist. I’m sure some individual liberals mask, but not many, and important liberal groups seem to not mask at all. The IWW convention mandatory masks, IWW branches mostly mandate masks, the SWP mandates masks, local PSL mandates masks (idk about nationally), local picket group mandates mask, local DSA masks, etc.

It’s just kinda hard for me to appreciate this punching left when every criticism is 1000 times worse among every other political position. Biden literally ended masking mandates nationally, and long ago stopped wearing masks.

Leftists aren’t doing enough, but nobody else is doing anything, at all. Influential liberals have stopped masking years ago, influential right-wingers never masked, influential “non-political” or “centrist” people might as well be those right-wingers with how little they mask.

There were those massive climate walkouts back in 2019, a lot of Middle Schoolers participated just like the High Schoolers

Yeah, the size and coordination of the walkouts have been wild. Something like a dozen high schools walked out near me all at once, with basically every student leaving and all marching downtown to meet up together. Kids I’m related to, kids that have had internships, really all the teens I know, have all walked out over ICE in the past few weeks.

Didn’t he move to a much more expensive place in Georgia (US State) last year?

Jason Clower’s awesome, he’s a real University professor, and these videos were part of a real 300 level college that gave real accredited college credit.

I’ve watched all of his videos, lol, he’s great. I actually learned about him from an IRL friend that’s into guns, rather than China or Politics.

I’ve posted stuff in the Discussion thread, and I’ve talked about it in the Mod Chat.

I think if you keep all or most of the megas pinned because visibility, the people that made the complaints the admins are trying to address won’t be satisfied at all. That list is a lot of posts, and pinned posts would still take up most to all of the screen on load. I feel like visibility is just contradictory with the goals of this experiment. Keeping all the megas and portalling the events is a decent idea, one that I think most people will agree with, just not the people that want 1-3 pinned posts total and complain about pinned post bloat (even though you can make them disappear, and the take no time at all to scroll by). They’re a small group that wants to minorly inconvenience everyone, rather than have to deal with an even more moderate and minor inconvenience, so I think we really should just ignore them. It’s such a selfish, uncommon, and unpleasant that most people just want it back to normal, and the few people that are trying to find a compromise don’t actually themselves believe it’s a big deal.

But the mods and admins seem to really care about that minority opinion a lot, they talk about the opinions of people that don’t even seem to exist in the thread. If they can’t get something with very few pinned posts, I think they’ll just return to normal, then try a very similar experiment. I honestly think it’s likely they’ll keep doing it, over a long timespan, until people finally agree to have basically no pinned posts.

Thanks, I like it too. Maybe they could have it as a pinned comment so it’s more visible than the post body?

There’s like 150 to 1,000 km between each Starlink, not even counting the 3d-ness of space. They’d be lucky to catch one ICBM with a Starlink-interceptor, Starlinks just wouldn’t have the propulsion to get there, much less get there in time.

guncadindex

Exactly! I would have recommended r/fosscad, if it hadn’t been banned. There’s a Rocket Chat where there’s a bunch of beta models that I’m in too.

3d printed guns, at least partially, are just so easy and convenient. It’s also super easy to CNC a lot of 3d printed gun stuff, which is awesome. After all, most modern firearms are mostly polymer, and PLA+ is the common mans polymer.

The older make it in the metal shop is still possible, you can find a bunch of designs, books, and manuals on Odysee. There’s even a number of modern newly designed metal shop guns. There’s some hardware store guns that are new, and meant to be a little safer than the old models.

bang

haha made you look

but no, fr, a Tikka would be fun too. I think it’s really up to your budget though, how much do you want to spend on ammo vs on your rifle, etc?

Though if you’re in a state where they’ve already banned a good chunk of semi-automatic rifles, you might want to buy the Mini-14 while you still can. Gun control folks won’t be satisfied while there’s still exceptions, and in lots of states the restrictions just keep coming, slowly, but eventually.

A lot of his fanbase are pedophiles, including fairly high-up “lieutenants”, and he’s acknowledged it a number of times. They barely conceal it, that ice snowflake symbol and the term 'p are just dead givaways. He doesn’t appear to really be a pedophile himself though.

I think there’s a much simpler explanation than him being a pedophile, it’s just meta post irony. It’s exactly the kind of thing that would appeal to the young disaffected right-wing males that make up his base, he can say and do wild things and it only makes his charisma with them stronger. It appeals to the pedophiles in his base, but everyone that already likes him isn’t going to be put off by this. Making light of the situation like this might even gain him anti-pedophile followers, oddly enough.

America is going all in on dumb cryptocurrencies which expose everything (including all of their fraud, lmao), and they don’t like Monero. We should be asking ourselves, why is that? Why is our biggest adversary, Big Satan, such an opponent of Monero? If the US government is leaning away from Monero, then maybe we should be using it to fund , to buy , all while having it look just like redacted to them.

Bitcoin is an open ledger dependent on extremely heavy computation and a value store backed by nothing, two peak Capitalism brained things to have and put all of your money into. What if you could be one of those gold(futures)bugs, but with an even worse environmental impact? And telling the government exactly where and what your assets are? Generally connected directly to your real identity, and even your real ID? That’s also a massive scam in favor of Trump and his friends? Sounds brilliant.

oh yeah lmao, I remember the Arch Linux dual booting page having notes about how Windows could mess up your system BIOS time thanks to that. Why would one make the intentional repeated choice of doing time objectively wrong?

Also, the General mega has a portal at it’s bottom, maybe make some small changes to make it clear this is how we should access megas, and pin just this (and real, actual important site announcements). Or we could have all that portal text at the bottom of News, and have that pinned instead. Having the portal at the bottom of every mega would be cool, be like a web chain, we wouldn’t need the links from the site-pin (though the new comments are the important part that everyone cares about for the site pin).

Also, if the portal is also a mega, people that run portal posts (i.e. mega posters, blorptube, book clubs) can comment that the link should be updated, and the person who can edit the portal will see it in their inbox.

Hexbear’s slow loading is making the portal a bit of a pain. I’m having to spend a lot more time loading, and a lot of what I’m loading is stuff I loaded earlier, since I can’t tell if there’s new comments.
