Community rules:
Be respectful and civil with each other. Don't be a jerk. There is a real human being on the other side of your screen. See also the Blahaj.Zone Community Rules
No bigotry of any kind allowed. Making racist, sexist, trans-/homo-/queerphobic, otherwise demeaning and hateful comments is not ok. Disabilities and mental illnesses are not to be used as insults and should not be part of your comment unless speaking of your own or absolutely relevant.
No gatekeeping and being rude to people who don't agree with you. Leave “gamer” stereotypes out of your comment (e.g. sexless, neck bearded, teenaged, basement-dwelling, etc). Don't compare people to animals, or otherwise deny their humanity. Even if you think someone is the worst human on the planet, do not wish death or harm upon them.
No "justice porn". Posts regarding legal action and similar is allowed, but celebrating someone being harmed is not.
Contrarianism for its own sake is unnecessary and not welcome.
No planning operations, no brigading, no doxxing or similar activities allowed.
Absolutely no defense of GamerGate and other right-wing harassment campaigns, no TERFs and transphobia, racism, dismissing of war crimes and praise of fascists. This includes “JAQing off”, intentionally asking leading questions while pretending to be a neutral party. This also applies to other forms of authoritarianism and authoritarian or criminal actions by liberal or leftist governments.
NSFW threads, such as ones discussing erotic art, pornography and sex work, must be tagged as such.
Moderators can take action even if none of the rules above are broken.

As a veteran, I get the worst shit thrown at me. All the ads for black rifle coffee and the worst "for men" products. Also, they just assume I’ll vote republican so all the bs that comes with that assumption.
They haven’t really missed until my generation so I get it. A lot of the vets from the 90s and further back are pretty "conservative" to the point that I avoid them at the VA and won’t join those socials anymore.
I feel you. I like to shoot, gardening, and woodworking. Aparently, that makes me a prepper and a fundie. I just want tomatoes and pretty begonias. I purposefully watch leftist stuff on YouTube to "reset" their algo. Works for a few months.
Yeah, turns out a lot of preppers can food.
I love canning! Hate everything else. I just want to look up recipes for candied jalapeños without also hearing about batshit theories.
You got a tested recipe for shelf stable water bath canned candied jalapenos/cowboy candy? I've made them as refrigerator pickles but I don't have a pressure canner and I'm a bit too nervous to try canning peppers.
Yes, there's a tested recipe! It's from Ball/Kerr so it should be safe. And it is indeed water bath canning, cause it's like...equal parts sugar and vinegar, haha! https://www.ballmasonjars.com/blog?cid=candied-jalapenos
...the only veterans i know who support fascist values are either stolen-valor opportunists or television-brainwashed senile geriatrics...
...all the real veterans i've known who still enjoy command of their faculties support legitimate american values instead...
