He made 20 rings for a reason.

Buy Wera or another really nice HQ set of these and you’ll never need another one again.

well, you should buy two sets, because you might lose one…

what about evil wizards who call themselves scientists? legit, or no?

oh I see, so if you aren’t a roving band of stone age people, then it’s unnatural?

and are these societies also matriarchal or something too, because you know the patriarchy is unnatural as well?

what is ‘natural’ life, being a sustenance farmer, and dying of starvation if you have a bad harvest?

I assume they are humans until they start squawking and demanding truffle fries. I fucking hate truffle fries.

This is like 75% of my first dates these days. TIL I date seagulls.

I grew up on the beach and hated them as a kid, and this also explains why I hate so many of my first dates too.

I remember being 16 and having sex for the first time and wishing my gf was as into Diablo 2 as I was.

She was into Conan O’Brien.

don’t talk about my mom like that.

he’s 80. he’s just old and losing it and trying to stay relevant.

he is legit and was dope in the 90s/2000s, he has just started losing his mind due to being old.

sort of like trump and tariffs. those were suppose to solve my athlete’s foot too.

Yes, you are so superior. Wow I am so dumb. I should just listen to you, you so smart.

It can’t be that postmodern theory from 50 years ago is total naval gazing shit from pompous bourgeois academics types… who have enough money and power to sit around all day bitching about how oppressed they are and how much smarter they are than everyone else… weird how they dehumanize anyone who doesn’t agree with their theorizing… just you do.

It can’t be that you yourself, are the very thing you hate so much? Perhaps you, are the system of oppression and misery you so loathe? because instead of being a productive memory of your society, you see yourself as too elevated and sophisticated to participate in it in a meaningful or productive way that would measurable improve it?

Oh, and what social system of order and productivity do you think should take over that authority? communism? anarchism?

What is ‘typical human life’?

Am i better off being beaten into submission and diagnosed and drugged by a communist expansionist dictatorship than a capitalist state of settler colonialism?

SALINGER TAUGHT ME TO LOVE THE FLAT EARTH.

they got vaccines and became gay and round and autistic.

back before we were shooting vaccines into them with our gay vaccine rockets they were totally flat and straight.

he probably was never cheated on or lied to about sex.

that stuff messes you up, and the average person deals with it. some lucky folks don’t.

I never imagined anyone would cheat on me until they did. and they told me it was my fault. lol

her eggs were cheating

one of my friend has a pretty elaborate garden setup.

he has a groundhog execution chamber too. he has to gas and kill about 6 of them each year.

I am a successful gardener.

You can’t and don’t want to eat 20lbs of tomato in a week. I use maybe 2-4lbs and the rest of it rots or has to be given away. I’m lucky if consume 1/4 of what I produce.

And that’s how crops come in, all at the same time in abundance. It’s not like you can pick 4 tomatoes each day and they just hang out for weeks on the vine. There is about a 4-6 week widow in which all the stuff you have spent 5 months growing, is edible off the vine. You start in April and then you don’t really get anything until August, and then by Mid Sept, the plants stop producing and are dead by Oct.

And if you want to preserve it, that’s a lot more work and you need the space and equipment to store dozens and dozens of jarred/canned veg. And at that point it’s no longer a small kitchen garden.

oh and by the way if you give me that ‘community sharing!’ stuff. no. literally everyone’s crops are also coming in at the same time. that’s why you see people leaving baskets of veg on the stops all around and nobody takes it, because they already have their own from their own gardens.

That is very different from a commercial farm who is able to have dozens of rotating crops and crop varieties with the expertise to manage it and also the ability to distribute it commercially.

wanted reddit from 10+ years ago when it was a smaller more chill site more interesting in being nerdy and curious than being political grandstanding. used to be such a fun place to kill time and learn cool shit and read interesting stories. it was glorious until 2016 and started going downhill rapidly, IME. I was first banned from reddit in 2020 for ‘inciting violence’ by talking about my cat hunting rabbits. thought it was insane, and a few months later I was randomly unbanned. OK. Stopped using it in '22 entirely as I constantly being reported for random comments as ‘racism, violence, hate speech’ when I was often pointing out those behavior and attitudes.

fediverse cool at first but now it’s rapidly growing into another reddit with a ton of people here who are just to be crappy and spam their weird agendas and go around endlessly self promoting themselves and hating on anyone who isn’t like them. it’s increasingly just a site for people to dump their insanity and delusions and seek validation for doing so. I have blocked so many people in the past few months it’s insane, my block list is 100s now, and in '25 it was maybe a dozen.

That said there are still some pretty good thoughtful threads on here about various issues, usually for the first few hours they are up, but once they get some traction the crazies come out to harass anyone remotely thoughtful and call them names. I’ve seen some wonderful empathetic and compassionate discussions get completely derailed by shitheads, who also mod-report these thoughtful and interesting things as ‘hate speech’ because it doesn’t align with their simplified black or white view of the issue, and their missions is simple to shut down any discussion that isn’t a catchphrase or other bumper sticker takes by calling it hate speech, just like my comment about my cat killing rabbits was ‘animal abuse’.

dumb people ruin everything because they basically throw a tantrum when they can’t fit the square object into the round hole and declare that the square space must therefore be a hateful bigot, because all the world must be round holes and only things that fit through them should be allowed to exist.

I like being gay on the inside. It’s really the only place I’m allowed to be gay.
