Rich people know their cosmetic surgery is obvious and uncanny, but that's the point; it's a way of signalling that you belong in a certain income bracket and that you're part of the 1%

  • Botox doesn't have to be expensive and ridiculous. Last gf was cute as shit at 50-yo. She'd just get a few pokes every 3-6 months. Her face wasn't plastic or unnatural, you'd never know. Maybe a bad example as she hadn't had shots for months after I met her and she didn't have wrinkles to speak off.

  • Used this as a slide in a security talk I used to give! Says a lot.

    • Putin says he's ready to meet Zelensky if West 'stops pushing' Ukraine to fight

  • Stopping is no longer an option unless Putin wants to crash the Russian economy.

    • It's interesting that gun rights were sold on the basis of "resisting unlawful government." They seen to have caused and supported unlawful government.

  • The Vietnamese and Afghans could probably tell us a thing or two.

    One aspect I don't think many appreciate is the deterrent effect of private gun ownership. The fascists would have already overrun us were we not armed. Notice the major ICE raids have been in NYC and California? Those are the two places in America with the strictest, and often dumbest, gun laws. Anecdotally, being visibly armed likely saved me two ass beatings in the past year. LOL, one guy was so fucking mad he was shaking, choking himself to be polite.

    Most of our military might can't be brought to bear on civilians. The examples you gave are purpose built to fight another military on their turf. The Air Force isn't going to deploy fighter jets to put down a riot. And NONE of those things will continue working about a week after civilians pull support.

  • Nah. Bills don't appear overnight, been in the works for a minute.

    • What nice thing have you done recently that noone knows about?

  • Said here before, I clean the local woods on every trip. I can tell where I haven't been for awhile by the trash.

    It's made a serious impact! Ya know, the whole "broken windows" thing? Most of the crap is from 3 things:

    • People chunking beer cans. I can understand (without condoning) that they're likely underage and don't want to get busted.
    • Snack wrappers. Again, likely kids given the waste I find. That's on the parents.
    • Crap that floated down from higher ground. People see trash and assume it was chunked on purpose. Nope. Tons of it simply flooded down from spilled trash cans, fell out of the car when exiting, shit like that.

    We ALL litter, believe that. No matter how hard we try our waste gets away from us. Hell, I've found my own beer cozies on various trails, 4 times in the last year. I find my own crap at our camp every trip. "How the fuck did I drop that?!" Oops. Pick up more than you can possibly lose. That's all a man can do.

    LOL, my kid's when boating, "No daddy! Don't go mess with that!" Now? They're actively hunting trash and fishing tackle. Hell, my wife was the same way and now makes us turn around for fishing bobbers.

  • I can't do that. :( I'm often wanting a part for a project or just the right thing for, whatever. FFS, I save broken glass for when I need to cut it down to fix something.

  • Because I don't watch videos on my phone.

    YouTube has broken uBlock and Firefox. Still works on Edge, but I'd rather not switch browsers back and forth. Yes, I've cleared my cache.

    Anyone?

  • Work gave me a tiny HP LaserJet 8 years ago, and it was old then. Rock and roll. Toner is $20 a pop and goes 1,000 pages.

    As to space, it's racked next to my tiny server rack. Still takes space?
