    Also, Datura is a common weed. Collect a bunch of seeds and share with your friends so y'all can all trip for days and not even know it. The kidney failure can kind of suck.

  • Those are good security guides.

    I think I'm at the point where it's more about keeping my head down. Protect my family and people. Hope we don't end up in a camp.

    Until one of these occurs, nothing changes: some real national leadership opposing this, more than 5% start going hungry, or large numbers of people are being murdered/placed in camps.

  • It seems you've thought deeply about this. I've done so as well.

    It really fucking freaks me out that such a large chunk of our society is detached from objective, verifiable realty. A fair amount of what they believe is pants-on-head crazy vengeance fantasy. Another big chunk has spooky parallels to literal Nazi propaganda such as the Protocol of the Elders of Zion, it's so similar that it's obviously just borrowed. It's shocking that more people don't see it for what it transparently is.

    I have no clue what can be done about it. I don't know how society heals this or reinforces the value of facts, sanity, and critical thinking.

    You got anything? Any thoughts about where we go from here? How to unfuck their heads? Where does this end if they aren't deprogrammed? How long will we be trapped in this?

    Genuine questions because I ain't got a fucking clue at this point.

  • What is the most useless fact you know?

  • Yes, not at all uncommon in the BDSM community. Neither are 24/7 kink relationships. However, reality is different from fantasy and there is a fair amount of nuance in how this works in the context of a LTR and not a fun weekend.

  • War. War never changes.

    Jump

  • That's what I was referring to about very few handguns. It was all wood stock rifles and shotguns. And, this was among conservative rural types. We're in a very different place now.

  • War. War never changes.

    Jump

  • Deep south born and raised, it's changed in the last twenty years, but guns used to be a fun tool. Most people owned long guns with much fewer handguns. Guns were for hunting, varmint management, and plinking. City folk don't really get it. Shotgun in the corner of the living room is normal.

    I have an acquaintance from West Virginia that is similar. They're also a non-binary, super queer, sexually sadistic top. We met in the BDSM community.

  • $4.99 for 100ea on Etsy, showing as a 'hot' item and bestseller. I doubt we'll see them in the quantities we saw the Biden stickers but it's pretty funny.

  • Trepanning is back, baby! NSFL warning. Dude has his friends help him dremel a hole in his skull so he can like totally open his third eye or release the demon chakras or whatever.

    Can't find it, but there was an interview where someone talked about poking their meninges with a metal rod and having a 'spiritual experience' or something. Also, bong rips feeling bubbly in the skull hole.

  • Looks fine to me

  • You dirty rat. You put that under the spoiler tag to sucker me into looking at that unholy thing.

    I should not have clicked. It could have been something nice like tubgirl or goatse.

  • It's an old saying, longer version I know is:

    "Saddest thing in the world is a cat scratching at the window because it used to be an inside cat."

  • After a foray into consulting and plant management, I'm back in the shop working with my hands and programming. My favorite part of the trade is teaching kids. (Enough grey in my beard that anyone under 30 is a kid). I could make more money doing other things but I don't need the stress.

    I hope I'm able to work until I die, even if I 'retire'. I've begun learning Blender and mixing it with CAD so that I can do sculpture.

    I love the smell of black cutting oil.

  • Skinner's glare of disdain would have flayed the flesh from his bones. It would have been a Monster of the Week episode. Mulder would actually help with the coverup and chalk it up to a one time involuntary psychic event. Scully would have cocked her head, pursed her lips, squinted, and said, "hmph."

  • Lead shot for waterfowl hunting has been banned in the US for a few decades. It's still used for upland bird hunting. I think it's still frequently used illegally for waterfowl.

    Not an expert, but have a decent layman's understanding. Could totally be wrong about the next part:

    It's my understanding that lead contamination of wild animals through hunting primarily occurs due to various sizes of bird shot. The greater surface area allows a much higher level of contamination. It also forms lead dust in the shell from friction and when fired. It's also easier for animals to eat it. Rifle rounds and slugs are fairly inert as the larger size prevents most consumption and less absorption when it is consumed.

  • My guess is that migratory waterfowl eat lead shot when 'grazing' the bottom of wetlands. This bio-concentrates the lead in eagles when they prey on ducks and such.

  • ICE agents keep accidentally shooting themselves

    Jump

  • Read about this years ago. This is the only accidental discharge I've heard about. Worn leather holster pulls the trigger. In fairness, an argument can be made that using a worn/flexible holster was negligence.
