Advocate for freedom and tolerance even if you say things I do not like

Adversary of Fediblock

Accept that I'll probably say something you don't like and I'll give you the same benefit, and maybe we can find some truth about the world.

Ah... Is the Alliteration clever or stupid? Don't answer that, I sort of know the answer already...

I feel like the instagram ideal woman is proof positive that men have nothing to do with unrealistic beauty standards -- no man alive wants women to look like that.

Testosterone actually has a number of different effects, and one of them is increased teamwork alongside the increased competitiveness.

You know it's funny as I think a month or two ago I was talking about exactly that. Like, there are some conspiracy theories that are so stupid out there that they almost become the go-to for anyone criticizing the official narrative. "Oh, you believe in the tuskagee syphilis experiment? You must also believe that microchips in vaccines cause covid with the help of 5G!"

At the end of the day the right answer is to think for yourself. It's really easy to fall into the trap of "you agree with me that breathing oxygen is important so you must also agree that we must destroy all other gasses on earth" fallacious thinking, which is exactly how all of the approved broken ideologies function.

I think that's a natural reaction to an order that's elitist and globalist coming to it's natural conclusion

One thing that's interesting though is that it is a nationalism in the sense of supporting the current Nations. You've got a lot of groups aiming specifically at dividing Nations, such as the Alberta and Texas separation movements.

"join the armed forces! Protect your country from invaders!"

Considering we're actually talking about and protecting the government from Invaders, it would really have to be on a case by case basis -- which government are you willing to fight to the death to defend your current government?

They might change their mind when they realize poilievre and the conservatices are probably going to sweep the next elections.

tbf, he probably went crazy from banging a prostitute and not from writing too much philosophy.

I think cyclists should be on the sidewalk and just be like "hey, you gotta share the sidewalk with the pedestrians and you gotta treat the road like a pedestrian would".

Being on the road with cars is scary as shit and I never wanted to do that.

It's not a competition because the common man's plate is always the one the rich and powerful will ask for sacrifices from.

We're living it right now, tent cities while we're told by the elites the economy is doing better than ever.

Everyone is all like "If X wins I'm moving to Canada" but to vote in Canada you need to present ID and you use a paper ballot.

Sometimes people ask why I never gamble. To pay for college I worked at a gas station, and I'd see people I knew were making minimum wage come in and spend hundreds of dollars on (government) lottery tickets. It was just "scan, nope. scan, nope. scan, nope" -- burning money but sometimes they'd get a free ticket.

The scariest thing isn't just that it's addictive, it's that the people who can the least afford to be burning money on it are the ones who think it might be their ticket to financial security.

Yeah, acetone and ABS is really interesting. They use acetone vapor to smooth out ABS prints in 3d printing. It doesn't affect other plastics though.

I wish instead of focusing on the common man's dinner plate we'd instead consider maybe ending the global empires. Much more carbon being burned hourly by militaries protecting megacorporate interests.

Pro tip: acetone nail polish remover is SSS tier for cleaning pipes. (It's paint stripper so you might have to worry about that, but nothing clears out tar like acetone)

The Weakest Tamer Began a Journey to Pick Up Trash got an anime, which I'm really happy about because it's such a wholesome story. It has a really sad start because the MC is chased out of their village and nearly killed, but afterwards it's a nice story about perseverance and finding your niche in the world.

Although the first bit of the story is sad, it's the sort of book I'd want to read to kids.

Imagine being this disconnected from reality.

Motherfuckin tent cities all over the place "look how great the economy is doing!"

I love putting on YouTube 4k fireplace and playing music on the living room stereo.

When my boy is old enough to play on the computer I want to hook something like a raspberry pi 400 up to the living room TV so not only does he have to figure out how to use it on his own, he has to do it while everyone is seeing what he's doing.

My nephew is a smart kid, and so I bought all the individual parts to build a computer, hook them all up to make sure that they were actually able to function, and then send him that along with install discs for Windows and Linux so if he wanted to be able to use his new computer he would have to figure out how to build it on his own and get it all configured and set up.

I did send him a video on YouTube showing him all the individual little things so that he wouldn't be completely lost, but my understanding is that it was a pretty big challenge for a young kid but he did figure it out. You can imagine that his computer skills are on a completely different level than most of the people his age.
