The culture war, you know, the one where a lot of folks think it's great we have things like birth control and public transportation and stuff.
And then a few other folks that think -basically, boiled down the real truth of it- that everyone that isn't a white male should be a slave to white males.
Obviously the best way to fight this is education, which a particular side has been hellbent on destroying, and considering what I was taught in public school, has been pretty effective about it.
Does it get to their wet dream of wantonly murdering folks in the street like they fantasize about? Well, we lost more people on our side in the 2020 protests than they did.
Probably something to with believing people are humans, and should be treated with dignity.
So get some goddamn guns and go to the range. I'd rather have it and not need it, and know how to fucking use it
Once again, I understand the best way to win is education. My short patience and compassion is entirely spent on people near me, so if you can go around teaching ignorant morons right from wrong please do. They already know. Their in-group lets them get away with it
My understanding is most other countries (and our credit card #'s) have ..self-identifying? ...some spiffy numbers built into them that cryptographically verify that they're not fakes, whereas the US's SSN is pretty much just an incremental number assignation and has zero additional info built into it.
Like I know sisters that have sequential SSN's because there was a snafu and they got assigned them at the same time, rather than when they each were born.
Of course, I'm entirely against the whole fucking idea of giving people a fucking barcode at all, but that's an idealogical argument for another time
Wasn't that long ago, but damned if they ain't making it harder to do. Every cheap plot of land I've looked at has such stringent use restrictions it's basically having an invasive landlord with more steps. Homesteading is dead, at least in places i'd consider it.
Not to romanticize it too much. It sucked so bad my partner's mom responded to a trip idea with "what? Fuck no! We lived in a tent for a year, why the fuck would I want to go camping?"
We still are never allowed to 'just go live in the woods' lol
That explains why my setup starts cranking early in the morning, but is kinda piddly in the afternoon, when, by my eyes, there's even more direct light on them.
You may not be an old dude, but it sure seems like you already hit the wall.
Friend of mine's father, who was seventy at the time, got hit on by an older lady at the grocery store.
Lamenting that he didn't follow it up with her, "she was eighty, but a young eighty, if you know what I mean"
Wall? Gtfo, dumbass
