My in-laws have several books by Republicans, including Pence

Religious nut jobs, in my experience.

My sense of humor tends to skew towards absurdism the closer to midnight it gets.

Shit posts make me giggle. I show her and she's just confused.

It really doesn't help when half the shitposts are star trek related.

I'd be happy to join a Canadian foreign legion. I view protecting Canada from foreign aggression my patriotic duty as a fellow human being, and neighbor.

Besides, once upon a time I swore an oath to protect my country from threats foreign and domestic, so I am honor bound to fight alongside Canada against the biggest threat the US has ever faced.

I'm not sure how many Americans would join me, or how receptive Canadians would even be to a bunch of tacticool looking non-professionals with guns showing up and CLAIMING to want to help, but I'm positive there will be americans fighting back. Whether it's on the front lines with guns, or with sabotage in the states, who can say.

Yaaaaas queen. 🔫👸💅

I take it as more "the democrats are doing nothing AFTER losing the race except ask for more money to sit on their collective asses, resign 'in protest'," and ultimately not solve any problem week after week.

It's less "both sides same" and more "COME ON GET UP AND DO SOMETHING BIG AND USE TACTICS THAT WOULD HAVE BEEN CONSIDERED UNTHINKABLE 20 YEARS AGO BUT REPUBLICANS DO OPENLY BECAUSE NOBODY STOPS THEM!"

If it's supposed to be "both sides same" then yeah, 100% "no it's the children who are wrong"

"It's for harvesting wheat. Uh.... Aggressively..."

A MAGAt would eat his own shit if he knew a WoKe LibRuL would have to smell it

", and other things said by people who don't understand firearm manufacturing.

It's pretty easy to convert most firearms to full auto as long as you have even a little mechanical knowledge, and some basic cnc tooling.

The cnc tooling raises the entry bar, but you absolutely can do the same things with a $50 trip to a hardware store. It just takes longer and more elbow grease.

I guess my point is, if you're gonna do this, you should go after the whole industry.

Yes, I am aware how easy glock modification is. If I had a glock (I dislike hammerless) the theoretically I could 3d print a "giggle switch" and within a few hours of hitting "print" I would have what I need.

But whether it's 3 hours or 3 days of work, it's still possible.

So again, if you do this, please go after all of them.

(note, I hold the opinions that gun control needs to be drastically overhauled and my lgbtq+ friends and neighbors should arm themselves in places like the US and learn how to use your firearm, because the people who will be coming after you in the coming years certainly will be)

I still haven't gotten anything for my family, and I have no idea what to get anyone either. I don't know what anyone likes anymore. And honestly I'm just getting tired of Christmas in general. I don't have the energy to pretend that I care about it anymore. I don't want to visit people. I just want to be left alone with nobody putting ridiculous social expectations on me.

I don't have advice, but you should know you aren't alone in your feelings.

"Look sir, I'm not saying I'm refusing a direct order from my superior. I'm saying these guys are 15 feet tall, encased in their own personal mechanized tanks, and are demanding to speak to my supervisor. I'm not gonna tell them no. So YOU can come down here and tell them."

turns to Ultramarines "one second, guys, he's gonna cave any second. If he doesn't, he will when he sees you."

I have a dji mini, and I would absolutely love to hack it so it has no internet connection capability and is it's own self-contained drone.

Of course, it would be preferable to have a time machine and talk some security and privacy into my younger self...

You know, the longer we live, the more people realize that in a CAPITAL based society, the people with the CAPITAL make the rules. And if they decided "no, we DON'T have to pay the fines that poors have to" then... That's basically become all that happens.

"hey you did an illegal and/or a fine-able offence(the fines for which were determined at a time that doesn't reflect modern profits for companies) but since we are being told you're have lots of money, go ahead and keep doing it but pinky promise you'll change eventually"

Just enough of a protest to make the unimportant people think you've done something, but not enough to do anything of substance.

And I honestly wonder just how long it will be before "the poors" and "the unimportant people" will have enough and decide to punish companies and their leaders themselves.
