I can count very few things I use as much a my water bottle on a daily basis. It comes with me everywhere I go.

Jason Pargin is one of my favorite writers. I’ll check it out for sure.

Its a big source of cognitive dissonance to be told as a cis/het/white/male person that you have all these advantages in life (which can be true) while you still struggle in life/society.

Then they get told “we need to level the playing field so the world is not systemically hostile (which it is) to others outside of that small subset of the population”. This can be interpreted as we are taking your benefits and giving them to someone else which is really scary and threatening when you already feel marginalized and have been told that those people want your stuff.

The missing element with these pushes for more equality or fixing major systemic issues is following up and explaining that we are also going to work on the systemic problems you are facing too or saying that the changes will uplift you too.

Will that fix all of the hostile isolated right wing young white guys? No, there are deeper issues at play there but acknowledging that there is a problem for them too is a good start to catch them before they fall down that hole.

When you have years and years of lack of accountability and things like qualified immunity, why would knowing who they are matter? We have already shown there are no consequences for being a bad apple… To be clear, I am utterly against this, as a public servant, you should be beholden to the public, badges, body cameras, id numbers, marked cars are all critical to that.

It is one of my biggest semi-irrational fears but I had never considered that you could have antibodies for them.

I hopped on during election night and boy howdy, it was a time machine full of slurs. The game plays great but dear god, it was bad on voice chat.

Not to mention, he is an immature narcissistic idiot, by MULTIPLE accounts (as well as my own personal opinion). Think about how someone who actually knows the system could use this unrestrained power that has been grifted to him… Its not going to be good. The amount of stuff these shitstains have fucked up is going to take at least a generation to un-fuck assuming power is restored to the populous in the next election which is a big assumtion…

There is a good Patagonia short film about dam removal if you want to burn an hour or so. DamNation

I’m so glad we are both from that one town. How do you spell it again? I always get it wrong.

Great shot and one of my favorite places.

Dvd on a dvd player plays great, you are correct. Ripped dvds are like native 480p regardless of your settings (unless upscaled) because that is the native resolution on the disc. Modern dvd players upscale on playback afaik.

One thing to note is that dvds are lower resolution than most people are used to now, that said, local storage is the way 100% even at lower resolutions.

Gotta be the grapefruit one for me but Jarritos is the exception to my soda ban as well.

The electric chainsaw game is life changing. I have a 40v ryobi one and their 40v weed-eater and I now get to spend time with my children rather than rebuilding shitty small engines every weekend.

How dare you insinuate my lawn mower takes more than one pull to start.

My chainsaw on the other hand takes more cranks than my hog to get running.

Looks nice but it also looks like a great way to get an amazing sunburn/tan pattern.

What program are you using for your rpg campaigns?

Minecraft server is fairly universally supported.

We must eliminate the strategic tomato gap, this communist threat cannot be allowed to stand unchecked. /S

Ah shit. My bad, I associated it with EuroTrip and thought he was French. My ignorance is showing.

OD Life from the Sunset Overdrive OST is a good one that’s weird.
