Instead, I suggest we start buying more guns and killing more CEOs.
How is this made?
Drill, jigsaw, trim router, and then the tight corners by hand with a chisel and sandpaper?

I’ve never experienced such a rapid shift in aesthetic preferences before. I don’t know what else to say except, Thank You.

My wife and I rented a rental property using a process where neither the landlord or ourselves used a computer. We saw it advertised in the local weekly newspaper, drove by, and the landlord was cleaning. She hadn’t advertised anywhere else. She asked about criminal history and jobs. But, she didn’t perform background or credit checks. Only after we signed the lease did she ask to take pictures of our government-issued identification. We paid cash for the deposit and first month.

I’m not convinced. Not even a little bit.

Yesterday, I was moving into a new place and asked a Trump-hat wearing, ex-military boomer what day was trash day. He gave me an explanation of all the good and bad of the neighborhood, told me to use his trash bin this week, and invited my wife and I to dinner. When we showed up his wife asked why we didn’t bring our dog because he’s a member of our family.
Many things I thought I understood about others have recently been nuked by experiences.

I see you.

Given all the evidence, it would be extremely unwise to attend this event.
The fact that you felt the need to speak as a moderator instead of defeating my claims with the facts and reason you should’ve had before you supported it should serve as a red flag to for yourself and others.
ReadMoreBooks@lemmy.zipto Resist: It's Time@fedia.io•There might be a protest near you today.English0·4 months agoDo NOT attend this event.
No one can identify the organizers. It’s being held without the involvement of any group of organized leftists.
The guidance posted in this thread recommends streaming of video evidence and propagation of that video. This is a blatant violation of operational security.
Revolutionary events are never shared with major media outlets. Major media outlets would not propagate them.
Do NOT attend this event. You WILL be identified by your oppressors. It WILL become a threat to your security. We CANNOT save you from the consequences.
Do NOT attend this event.
ReadMoreBooks@lemmy.zipto Woodworking@lemmy.ca•Felt like an artist when I finished this one2·4 months agoI’d say I’m an artist. But, not in a traditional sense. I see that many others said about what I said. And, I don’t want you be discouraged.
When I’m creating something it’s rarely very original. Others have already figured out how to “speak” to others with their art. My art is usually a copy of another’s idea that I’d tweaked. Or it’s an amalgamation of several ideas that I thought would work well together.
But, sometimes the point of creation isn’t to speak to others. Or, perhaps I’m not saying what they’d like to hear. I think this is what’s happened here. No one faults your workmanship. They’re just recognizing that you weren’t thinking about them when you created it while also finding no fault with that choice.
I encourage you to create and share again. This time, make a very conscious choice of who is your audience. Attach no guilt to a hypothetical choice to speak a language very few will understand.

The low end of Superbowl tickets in the OP article are $3k-$25k. A cheap ticket to a regular season game at my local stadium is $100. A cable package with reasonable access to important games is well over $100/mo. I can’t even watch just my home team’s full season with an antenna. When I watch a game they show the players set before the snap for a glimpse, such little time it’s impossible to even attempt to read the play.
Profit optimization has even changed the way the game is played to such an extent that all teams must adopt a specific and shitty strategy to win. I was OK when they made playing defense more difficult to boost scoring. But, now the rules protect the team’s fiscal investment into the quarterback position to such an extent that every team must have a quarterback that can run the ball and master the art of drawing a penalty when the defender commits to the tackle a tenth of a second too early. And, defenses need make ridiculous sacrifices to actual coverage such that the quarterbacks can’t read the play quickly enough.
What I’ll likely appreciate most is the creative way Kendrick humbles Drake such that the bougousie didn’t understand and censor.

Most adults that are regularly working out in the gym judge the beginners as courageous. They want to teach and encourage them. But, social norms won’t let them until solicited. If a beginner has also the courage to communicate sincerely then they’re likely to find both physiological and psychological support for their personal goals.
This is generally true for most things. Create the opportunity and almost everyone will teach and love as is practical for them.

I don’t like how the accents have little contrast. And, the waves are irregular but don’t seem to follow a natural edge. It doesn’t “speak” to me in a way I can easily understand.
When we want to break hydrocarbon chains we use bases by default. But, I’d not use a base on a bike chain because if it rusts even a little bit it’s junk.
For woodworking why is this better than mineral spirits?
It’s MAGA, neolibs, and now hexbear.
.ml never responds to my attempts to register.
So, lemmygrad, what’s up? I’m assuming that because most of lemmy thinks you’re “tankies” that you’ve been demonized for setting a high bar for good faith discussion, that the user base likes to think before speaking.
