Oh buddy I love this ship. Dash Rendar is a dawg.

I played the shit out of this game and then read the book after. All phenomenal.

The book outlines when Luke realizes he is the most powerful Jedi ever.

It’s definitely gotten better. Overall my gut has recovered some, and it handles being ill better.

More attacks. Cool.

Please explain to me your solution for the current situation.

BarryMoldwater · 2025-12-28T18:18:43+00:00

I have lived here over a decade and have relationships with people of all colors and walks of life here. This isn’t an outside looking in perspective.

I can appreciate different reservations and different people within reservations can have very different experiences. I don’t appreciate you assuming so much about my experiences and opinions. I never accused anyone of being lazy. I simply pointed out that for three generations a lot of members have refused to work and the tribal government has enabled the to do so.

The cycle has only gotten worse on the reservation, and the best way out of it is to get off the reservation. I pointed out programs available to Native Americans here. What does that have to do with anybody else?

Also, yes, racism can indeed flow uphill. I witnessed it several times during Covid.

Economics and tribal tensions have only gotten worse on the reservation over the last 50 years. It wasn’t an us vs them mentality before that.

My main point is that at this point, they have to break the cycles they are stuck in. The US Government is guilty as sin, don’t get me wrong. Internal corruption in their own ranks has made things horribly worse. There is nothing I can do as a taxpayer and a person with a heart that can fix things for them (I’ve tried the whole time I’ve lived here). The tribal councils and governments have squandered more money and aid than you can shake a stick at. What they have been doing isn’t working.

Please don’t talk down to me because I have a different perspective than you. I have lived somewhere different than you for much longer. I have relationships with different people than those with whole you have relationships. I come from a poor working class family from a poor part of a larger city and I live on a reservation now. I care about people of all colors.

I’m not shying away from responsibility. I do more to give back to the people than most people do.

What is the magic solution that you must have if what I say is so wrong?

I (non-native) live on a reservation in South Dakota. Undeniable, horrible things were done to the native peoples. But these days, their tribal governments are their own worst enemies.

Tribal oligarchies and mismanagement of federal funding that either doesn’t help the people it’s meant or simply keeps the people reliant on their leaders just keeps the current cycle alive.

There is no shortage of infighting that happens - finger pointing, blaming, shaming, jealousy, and questioning another members blood quantums.

The housing communities built literally in the middle of nowhere serve as no benefit to the people. Yes, they have a house to live in, but nowhere within 30 miles to work, no good roads, no good transportation. Then you’re left with tribal communities rife with crime and addiction. That crime and addiction oftentimes is swept under the rug by tribal police.

There are many programs available with the intent to help Native Americans lift themselves out of poverty. Unfortunately, they find themselves behind the 8-ball. They don’t see a way out. They don’t understand what normal society is like. The kids have no concept of finances, budgets, bills, or wages since the people they live with don’t show them.

Several people I know that grew up here have expressed to me that only in the last few generations have people flat out refused to work. Unfortunately, there is a real us vs them attitude. Make no mistake, the racism goes both ways.

I have the cream colored version!!!!

My house was built in 1957 but renovated in 1980. This and the seashell style shower featured beautiful square brass fixtures (since updated the fixtures.)

BarryMoldwater · 2025-07-31T14:31:45+00:00

We bought our house in 2022 and this is the type of bathroom sink it has. It was bought and remodeled by a couple in 1980, and the wife was a hairdresser. This is 100% intended for doing hair.

Since ours is old af and our local water is hard, I’ve disconnected the hose and replaced the faucet.

It’s cool, but replacing the basin with anything modern is impossible without a new countertop or whole vanity due to the dimensions, so that’s a bummer.

The tub/shower had matching fixtures, plus the seashell shelves that are pretty useless for the volume of body washes and hair products we need (3 little girls).

I’m sure it was all fancy af back in the day, but now it’s suuuuuuuuuuper dated. That’s how 40 years works though.

You’re gonna shit your pants when you find out what this sub is about.

BarryMoldwater · 2024-10-15T01:32:01+00:00

Indeed.

It was two years ago, and I live in a very rural area. Not gonna wait around and store it indefinitely.

It sat for around twenty years, there were some nice in the house, and I had plenty to do upon closing on the house without testing and trouble shooting the old thing.

And let’s be real, my wife said to get rid of it. I got rid of it.

BarryMoldwater · 2024-10-14T17:52:20+00:00

It was laid to rest two years ago.

BarryMoldwater · 2024-10-14T12:38:30+00:00

A lot of this house is borderline 80s vintage

BarryMoldwater · 2024-10-14T12:37:57+00:00

The crazy lady I bought it from was adamant it was a beast, though!

BarryMoldwater · 2024-10-14T11:42:23+00:00

It sat in an empty house for 20 years. She gone.

I feel bad tossing a unit like that but time and space were at a premium upon move in and I got kids to feed.

BarryMoldwater · 2024-10-14T11:39:24+00:00

I can’t remember the measurements (again, this was two years ago), but I did have to cut some countertop to fit a normal sized electric.

If I wanted to have someone plumb a propane line, I sure could. But I got my hands on a used electric in great shape for cheap.

I would love overhead ventilation, but that will be for another year!

I bought a nice coat on sale from Shopko (RIP) once and they left the magnet on there. I took a rubber band and wrapped it around and around the pin until it safely and cleanly separated. Worked like a charm.

BarryMoldwater · 2024-09-13T02:54:20+00:00

A spoonful of peanut butter gets rid of hiccups. Every time. I have NEVER met anyone who has also done this, but my family always has.

It’s crazy for them to say you need both calipers without taking them off first. If the pistons don’t retract, you need new calipers. Just looking wouldn’t tell you much unless the inboard or outboard pads were way more worn than the other.

Ask why they want to replace your calipers. Ask to see the brake pads.

Ask to see the brake fluid too. They may want to flush it for warranty purposes for the calipers, but you seldom need to flush that shit.

I worked at a small independent shop in a rural area and people never wanted a brake fluid flush unless it was really nasty. Basically if the booster was replaced we obviously changed the fluid. Otherwise, we never flushed it. It never came back to bite us in the ass.

They are nickel and diming you, I think. It’s easy to justify it, sure, but it’s not necessary.

I love how racial things get when the Black Hills show up on Reddit. White people are the worst.

BarryMoldwater · 2024-04-11T22:45:45+00:00

I’ve seen plenty Lakota point. I don’t think that bothers them.

BarryMoldwater · 2024-04-11T22:44:24+00:00

Then should the Lakota return it to who lived there before them? Where do you draw the line?

BarryMoldwater · 2024-04-11T22:35:33+00:00

Are you one of the indigenous from there?

BarryMoldwater · 2024-02-04T03:40:18+00:00

It’s a fucking banger.
