100%. I ain’t getting off this ladder to get a hammer, I’ll beat that sumbitch with my drill battery if I have to

The Ackroyd clan migrated west early, very different ethnogroup

Honestly, without the hat and shoes I wouldn’t even blink if someone wore this walking around town. Neat.

No, these are electrician’s hammers

Show solidarity with them. First things first is don’t give that business any money until the workers win.

Have they talked to any union organizers, or are they going it wildcat? If they don’t have real support behind them to help pay bills etc, the strike will fold quickly and likely be unsuccessful - the boss just has to outlast them. Strike funds are crucial for this reason. If the workers don’t have a way to meet their needs, they’ll lose.

Local social media and news outlets are good places to broadcast the strike. Talk to people at similar businesses and see if they can join the strike.

For anyone looking for a fun way to play with your toy cars, I highly recommend the free tabletop game GASLANDS. Glue some guns to them and blow them up with your friends!

I’ll take it

It’s not worth it, just add it to the list of shit fascists ruin

You gotta take a whole-body screenshot right after

Swallow gel packet -> get spitroasted -> blink twice should work

Just about every hobby is some kind of money sink. One reason I stopped playing 40k was because of my distaste for how GW insists on only using their materials and how blatantly they just drill people’s wallets.

But that’s not the whole wargaming community! That’s not even the whole 40k community. There’s OnePageRules, for instance, which is a totally free and really good model-agnostic Warhammer ruleset. There are other games like Battletech that are much more accepting of kit-bashes and creative modeling. Lots of historical wargames are very open about that too (as long as you keep it accurate).

And, of course, investing a couple hundred in a decent UV printer both a) provides a whole new way to hobby and b) saves a SHITLOAD long-term.

I started with DnD miniatures when I was quitting drinking. That’s pretty affordable and risk-free for starting out, and a lot of the models out there for like $5 apiece are really decent these days. A basic paint set and some dollar store brushes and you’re good to go.

I’m very passionate about DIY hobbying ;)

I started Warhammer at age 30. Now I’m approaching 40 and looking at guns.

I think that’s what people mean when they say that. Nobody asked for another sequel to whatever, we want new and interesting stories.

It seems like the OP in the screenshot is sort of strawmanning?

Any reason for the unnecessary outlining and underlining instead of just cropping the picture decently? Ffs

Back in the day before RT, it was Ishtar. My parents loved that movie.

We could hope but the fact is, the right wing in America is organized and the left just isn’t. Evangelical conservatives have been working for this for years, and it’s gotten them results - no Republicans would give up power to voice their actual dissent meaningfully. They bought the ticket, they’re taking the ride.

The Democrats are just a flimsy mishmash of corrupt manipulators. They haven’t had a coherent plan for ages. And now, they’ve got nothing, and a man is about to retake office who’s threatened to use the State against his political opponents.

If I were a top Democrat right now, I’d be thinking real hard about whether the party even has a future, long-term.

Absolutely! I also do it when feeding a baby, they match your breathing instinctively and it’ll settle them down really well.

I have some tips that could help, if you’re interested. I’ve been meditating pretty much my whole life since I learned it this way. Took a little effort at first but everything fell into place real quickly, and since then it’s just been an internal habit to do throughout my day.

Step 1: Find a comfortable place to sit or recline, preferably facing a blank wall. You don’t need to be in any fancy position or focus on anything in your field of view. Find a position where your entire body is able to comfortably and completely relax, no stabilizing needed.

Step 2: While gazing at the wall comfortably, become mindful of your breath. Don’t worry about like taking super deep regular breaths or anything like that, just breathe normally - but have your focus on that breathing, internally.

Step 3: Other thoughts will compete for your attention. Our brains are super busy, that’s why we’re here. Don’t force them away - that’s a muscle you haven’t really got yet, it would be very difficult. Just acknowledge each thought, decide not to continue with it at that moment, and allow it to drift away by returning your attention to your breath. This can take a while, or a couple tries to get used to doing. Don’t be upset at yourself if it’s hard at first.

Step 4: Once you’re able to acknowledge and release intrusive thoughts, start counting your breath. Try not to do so with “audible” thoughts, but just by being aware that “this is my first breath, this is the second,” etc. When other thoughts derail you and internal speech resumes, repeat Step 3 and restart the count.

If you can do that and make it to ten, you will be meditating.

It’s mind-blowing how badly the DNC fucked this all up. They learned nothing from history, theirs or their opponent’s. If that party doesn’t actually crumble as a result of this, both from internal and external pressures, I’ll be amazed.

I’m so angry. And scared. All at once. Just miserable really.

The hits really keep coming today

I’m not even lying yall I just got home and cried for a while sitting in the work van

I also looked at some guns today

This is rough

Edit: I feel I should make it clear, I’m not a risk to myself or anyone, I’m just fucking terrified

Tbh I haven’t pirated much in years. Mind PMing me any decent trackers?
