I’d say you need a Stonewall moment, but perhaps a “sequel” is more apropos. It’s shameful. I’ll never understand the mentality that something so literally harmless as minding one’s own business get’s them so riled up. SMDH

I’ve been accused of transphobia in the past (wrongly, I should add), and even I understand that you are talking to the mind not the body. How is this such a hard concept for these people?

when you get enough people to agree to actually pack up their squeamishness concerning homicide to go through with calling it “manslaughter in self defence.” At that point it becomes one of three things depending on who leads the charge: A civil war if the sycophants to the system have enough firepower to empower “loyalists” to fight for them, A Revolt if the people elevate one of their own, (most likely a leader in some grassroots org) or a Revolution if there are enough people already in power to rally the troops so-to-speak. It can morph to one of others others at any point though. Of the three, Revolutions tend to be the fastest if conducted surgically with some sort of Coup-d’etat scenario.

Cups ear Eh, what’s that? Is it?..Could it be?.. “The consequences of your actions?” Oh noooooo, gotta avoid those, right? Big sad!

to add to this;

The Israel lobby (AIPAC) is funneling Billions of American Tax funds (and European probably as well) to Zionist Conquest Doctrine. These are funds that were/are already being mismanaged through political grifts and corruption, so the fact that it’s going toward a repugnant and quite frankly frivolous war of aggression, that is not only threatening to bankrupt not just America but collapse the entire world economic order, I feel it might be a bit of a solid stance to be in opposition to shitheads that support Israel’s actions right now.

“Hot take,” I know.

At his point I say we should just GIVE them Nukes. FFS, Quit trying to invade Persia!!

Hey, since you’re going outside, can you take the trash (other D.I.N.O.s) out with you? MKThXBai!

I mean, if he’d rather we open a clip on his ass. I’d have thought words were preferable, but if that’s what he wants…

care to walk that back so we can try to play nice?

as it should be. breathes the fresh air

It’s a mixed bag. It scratches the news aggregator chat itch, but until it starts putting up per diem user traffic numbers in the millions rather than hundred thousand, I don’t get the same hit from knowing my posts are getting the same mainstream exposure. On the flipside, I usually get a better quality of response so I’m definitely jazzed about that.

IKR?

I really do detest these corporate run sites lacking the two brain cells to get that you are allowed to kill in self defense, and discussing it is not the same as “threatening violence.” Bud. Mod. DUDE. When you are fighting malignant societal cancer, there is no valid argument about “dehumanizing them;” They did that to themselves when they started removing our rights to self autonomy, free movement and expression. This goes beyond “philosophical disagreements,” it’s an unbridgeable ideological schism at this point.

I got here because some bot posted political ragebait in r/AskReddit and I got tired of censoring myself, so I noted I was, and the Mods got butthurt about it. It was venting, more than anything, but (boom) permanent account suspension. I even deleted the posts immediately because I still hadn’t reloaded the page. Hasn’t seemed to matter.

Really bites too because 90% of what I was on there for was Mine/Hermitcraft content and engagement.

There’s a meme theory floating around that Lindsey was blood sacrifice to keep McConnell going.

I prefer to believe that by keeping McConnell on life support, he’s propping the door open.

(and as per rule 4: I’m merely pointing out that a meme exists, as it’s tangentially relevant to the discussion)

Right, and we’ll never walk on the moon, either. Got it.

“infrasound” complainers

if it’s a structural engineering problem then it’s probably solvable. perhaps they can be added like fins on the blade which would disrupt turbulence, reduce drag and sound, much like how an owl has ragged feathers to allow them to have silent flight.

solar cells are basically a membrane. it’s usually the mounting frame that adds the weight.

if you can get a solar cell in a 6 oz calculator, I doubt highly that incorporating it into the design of the blade is going to add much more weight than the expanded aluminum and fibreglass that’s already there.

I’ve thought for YEARS that we should to the same thing with the Hoover Dam. Should also mount wind turbines on the face of it to catch the updrafts out of the canyon. You all acting like green energy has to be mutually exclusive to one another. Wind turbine blades have a lot of surface area that could be covered in solar panels, which solves the issue of solar panels energy output decreasing with heat because then they’d always have built in cooling. No wind? There’s still light and some wattage is better than no wattage. Put the turbine blade head on a giant hinge and they can catch rising air from the grounds’ radiant heat at night. Free energy is everywhere if you just know where to look and how to take advantage of it.

With the way things are going, probably.
