There it is.

So, as an ignorant teenager, cleaning chicken houses of rotten corpses and chicken shit for $5/hr: I was actually fucking those chickens? I was kid chicken raper? The steers I raised in elementary school, I suppose I fucked them as well.

See, that's the thing. I saw how bad it was and have worked and saved for many years so I will no longer have to participate in a system that involves industrial suffering.

But nope, I'm totally such a raper. Fuck you and your sanctimonious bullshit. You don't know me or my circumstances. I know plenty of Southern Baptists and Church of Christ that spew this same shit. Y'all would get along real well, if you only listened to your tones and didn't pay attention to the words.

Fucking fanatics can suck my fucking balls, all y'all the same.

Here on Lemmy I've been accused of torturing and raping animals as I'm unashamedly an omnivore. I'm a hunter as well.

I worry about animal suffering enough that we've bought a small farm and hope to raise all our own meat. I've actually worked on factory farms and know firsthand the suffering of animals under that system.

However, there are fanatical vegans on Lemmy that do a fantastic job of driving away those of us sympathetic to vegan ethics and morality.

I did it with a raspberry pi 4 and direct installs. If I had it to do over again, I would have a more powerful small server and use docker inages. There are a lot of docker guides out there but I don't have experience with it yet.

I had to do a bunch of complicated stuff like mounting my remote storage and such. I've been playing with Linux a long time. If you're not experienced with Linux, I'd do docker.

You start getting setup with Usenet, gimme a holler and I'll send you a drunken slug invite. It's the best indexer I've found, and I think I've let all my other indexers lapse.

Do a bunch of reading before you start, before you purchase anything.

Yo-ho-ho. The wife and kids love the pirate life as well. They just search what they want on Radarr or Sonarr and it pops up on Jellyfin in a few minutes. We were spending around $200/no on services with a lot less choice and lower quality.

Yes, them calling me a rapist totally made we want to be like them and adopt their ideology.

Their strain of it appears to be poison religion like fundamentalist Christianity or Islam. A fanatic is a fanatic, whatever paint they're dipped in. Guess they're just trying to fill a hole in themselves.

For a large chunk of my career, I worked in aerospace and 'defense' machining. Made all kinds parts for all kinds of weapons, it was really cool! Murica! As I got older, I lost my religion, I lost the far right brainwashing I was raised with.

My hands were making weapons that the US government was often selling to other countries. My hands were making weapons to kill various groups of brown people all over the world. It really began to bother me.

I no longer make things to kill people.

Yes, you are culpable for the effects of what you produce in your profession. A thinking person should consider the effects of their work.

My second vehicle was a '97 Ranger with the 5 speed and I4. Drove it for many years, sold it when I got divorced, thought I needed a nice car when I started dating again. Kicked myself repeatedly for getting rid of it. Lost that car in a flash flood and replaced it with this Ranger.

'98 Ranger XLT with the V6. My fourth vehicle, lifetime. Keep her running tight, throws no codes. Recently redid all the gaskets from the intake manifold and up.

Added hitch and trailer brake system recently. Made the kayak/cargo rack a few years ago.

It pulled a two horse trailer with three pet potbelly pigs, giant fluffy dog, two kayaks on top, a bed full of tools, jump seat area full of fragile stuff, son in the passenger seat. 700 miles, 14 hours, 3000-3500 rpm at 70mph. Overdrive had to be off the entire time. Never stuttered.

I love that little truck.

I know so many gay and racist jokes as a result of my upbringing. I've only been able to convert a few. There's alao a few I can still tell to the right crowd.

Someone must have been very bad to you when you were little.

What about the humble French fry? Do you partake of its golden goodness?

Went to highschool in an Alabama school. Football is a religion, and the football coaches were given the respect of preachers. They were also given cushy teaching jobs like health or drivers ed. They were generally not very bright.

The school might be run down and underfunded, but the football field was immaculate with huge bleachers, the locker rooms were nice.

In contrast, I had one coach teacher that taught history. Baseball coach. He taught me to love history. His tests were almost all long answer, didn't care about dates. He wanted you demonstrate understanding of the causes and results of events. Brilliant man with deep knowledge and love of his subject.

Got tired of the two week long headaches and quit football, switched to cross country even though I wasn't built for it. Forget the term, but my body type is large muscles and bones.

Had a cross country coach. He didn't care if you won races or were able to be very competitive. He just expected you to do your best and would push the hell out of you. I saw him take lots of fat little freshman and turned them into lean endurance machines over several years. Don't remember anyone ever quitting the team. I will always remember him leaning out the window of his 60's pickup yelling at kids to push through and push harder. He was poor, shitty salary, tires on his truck were bald and leaky, he had screws in them he couldn't remove cause they would go flat.

Those two men earned the title of Coach in my life.

It's pretty annoying. The formatting doesn't show properly on the Jerboa app. You should probably simplify the formatting so that you don't have to click a drop down. Sometimes I hit them and nothing shows.

Plain text and simple links only.

I've got a bunch of horror stories that take some detail to explain, but I remember a couple moments of shock in particular.

Was actually a Methodist service, Easter Sunday. it was when they cut a baby lamb's throat and it bled. It was great special effects with a real lamb but children started crying.

Also, the time we all went to see Passion of the Christ, 9:00 or 10:00pm showing. There was a mother smacking the shit out of her toddler for crying when the torture started. I'm a different person now and would put a stop to something like that now.

That's what I hear, but I still like the taste of percolator coffee better than any other. May just be bad taste on my part.

Donut shop style medium roast in a percolator, add 1 serving powdered Mexican hot chocolate to your cup. Mmm, yeah.

Holy cow! I have my TST card and everything. Kink has been incredibly important to my girl and I building a feeling of community.

Was in the hospital once. My family organized prayer circles and shit and I had to shut off Facebook. Then they tried to do some deathbed conversion shit while I was on heavy opiates. I giggled at the guy they sent to my room and called him an alien. The kink community brought my girl, and our former partner, food and ran errands for us. Ran interference with the hospital over our poly realtionship. The kink community took care of my people when I couldn't.

Like any other community, it has its problems, but has been pretty wholesome.

I bet you and I would get along well.

Ahh. Thank you! I like it. It's like Santorum: the frothy mixture of lubricant and fecal material formed on the base of the penis during anal sex between men.

Yeah, it's sick. I've always been amazed by how many people actually believe the company line and feel intense loyalty.

Once worked at a place that required everyone to show up 1.5 hours early to watch a video from the CEO cheerleading about "rationalizing" plants. Rationalizing was code for layoffs. Then they gave us buttons to wear about it. I tossed the first one in the urinal, real proud that there was a pile of them at the end of the day.

I think it's normal and human to appreciate hard work and dedication. That drive makes us survive. Then it gets used as bait, the hook goes in, and people misplace that drive onto something inhuman. I guess it's a successful strategy if you're a no soul snake.

"see how any religion applies?!"

Atheist of fundamentalist protestant extraction. Aren't like some of the Buddhists pretty cool? Especially the Zen Buddhists. Also, Sikhs seem cool. And the Jainists.

I could totally be wrong. Organized religion is a terrible thing in almost all of my experience.

Wiccans have been real cool in my experience. They have really fun orgies.

Wait. So did he actually fuck a couch for real? Pretty sure the other one fucked/molested his daughter. I wouldn't be surprised, I'm just genuinely curious, keep seeing this and am not sure where it comes from.
