See, this is a false equivalence. Comparing a skinhead you met as a teen to the current accepted safe gun practice is like taking an anti ax YouTube video over a doctor. Some dumb fuck somewhere can have any opinion they want, it’s not a standard to live by.

Yeah, if you got a kid I’d hope you’d assume everyone is out to rape them until you decide otherwise. It literally happens too frequently to not approach it this way.

Please point me to this.

When you go through a safe driving class, they teach you to assume everyone else on the road is an idiot who can’t drive. This isn’t because they are, it’s because it’s safer to approach it that way.

In scouts you’re taught that if you encounter a carrion animal, you should assume it has rabies. Not because rabies is common, but because you really don’t want to be the rare case of rabies.

When you’re learning how to handle firearms, you’re taught to assume all guns are loaded until you’ve personally checked and cleared it. This isn’t because guns magically manifest bullets as they’re handed from one person to another, it’s because it’s safer to make sure than to hope someone else didn’t make a mistake.

The only reason this is any different is because it makes weak men feel the same way they want to make everyone else feel.

Years ago I had these little magnetic lugs that you popped into the charge port and the cable just snapped onto the little magnet. Always thought I’d be cool to have a phone case with a track all the way around the phone so that the magnet cable could pop anywhere and the would charge off it. Then it’s always where it’s most convenient instead of right where you don’t want it.

I really want to start a sort of civil movement charity type thing that voluntarily helps minority groups learn to operate and aquire firearms. Especially in the queer community, firearms are considered an icky or scary topic, but in this day and age it’s not something you can afford to be scared of. Breaking down the macho talk of gun culture and sticking to clear, safe facts will go a long way, same for a buddy system to help people people who might not be comfortable entering the gun culture oozing gun store to purchase a gun. I know a lot of women who want to buy a gun but don’t want to be a woman in a gun store.

Had to look it up, it’s a breakfast sandwich from England. "Beef Canadian“ slices which are apparently roast beef or something similar, fried mushrooms and onions, cheddar cheese, and either ketchup or maple syrup.

Honestly, not too bad sounding. Put it on rye or pumpernickel, maybe a thick roll and pan fried like a melt.

There was a brief moment in the internet during this time, not the wild west age of unmoderated forums and ascaii memes but the budding frontier town of rage comics and early social media. There was an exact point, just before the year Facebook became the defacto social network, where the internet could have taken a different path and lead to something great. You still see the chipped paint of that mural in places like Reddit before the premium and Lemmy before the shill accounts. The hangers on from the old world that catch the scraps the mega corps drop. Gaiaonline is still propped up by a dedicated community. Small forums grow like weeds in the cracked pavement.

If we could find those places, sure up their crumbling palisades against the endless effort to advertise, breathe life into them in our own quite ways. Create the internet we wanted instead of sulking in the one we were given.

Ok, but what the fuck is it supposed to be?

If you use aquarium silicone adhesive, they won’t be damaged, the adhesive is weather proof, and the silicone gives a flex and wiggle that prevents sheering. We had a dime stuck to our porch for 8 years and when it finally came up, it was because the concrete had eroded underneath it.

My dad taught that one to me in high school. He stuck $1.50 in random change to the ground in front of the soda machine at the apartments he was groundskeeper for. On slow days he’d sit and watch the local kids try desperately to get a free soda with money they can’t pick up.

This is the video that open my eyes to this anomaly.

We literally don’t know! There’s a while anthropological study called child lore that focuses on the almost universal things that children share with each other and we still can’t actually find the origin of this.

My theory is it’s the true form of the yellow sign, the Lovecraftian rune that allows the eldrich being, Hastur, to exert his influence on mortals.

I always heard “Dirty deeds in those dungarees”

For like 2 years after I switched to DDG it was so much better than Google. It still pulled all the obvious things, but DDG would get me the very specific things that Google obviously wants dead. Stuff like niche forum sites and dubious piracy content. Lately though, DDG just gets a wall of poorly made AI generated sites. I liken my search efforts to trying to block all the moe communities on Lemmy, each one you bonk turns into two more.

Anyone have a better option? Because I’ll take it

Last I heard they only released the data on what they had, when did they release the actual music?

So, my knee jerk reaction here is anger but I think you have enough of that in the posts. I actually work in the mental health field, and if you’d like some actual information coming from actual professionals, backed by actual research, as well as a hefty dose of lived experience, hit me up. Autism is more my spouse’s field, I’m the ADHD guy, but I’m more than happy to share just for the chance that it might help someone with autism down the line.

This is looking to be my best option, it looks like I can send text notifications through email to sms and I like that
