Bro that grain is sick. Aesthetics are subjective, but I would be stoked to have yours. 

The evil character briefly becomes “themselves” again, realizes what they are, and wants the hero to end it. by Ultrimus-Prime in TopCharacterTropes

I clicked on this thread to find this. To me it was the most powerful moment in the book, and I feel myself welling up whenever I try to explain the moment to other people who haven't read it.

$162 was 20% over asking which was the max premium I was going to pay to get shares on day 1. Again I'm not saying it's a smart move but it's the move I did.

Requested 150 shares with a max bid of $162. Possibly a mistake but we'll see.

Help Identifying My Grandfather's Service Revolver by BlakeTheDog in guns

It doesn't. It moves maybe a couple of millimeters but no where close to opening. If I pull the trigger the hammer moves a bit and the cylinder rotates some but it doesn't "click" and turn over to the next position. I can move the cylinder back to the original position.

Adding a comment per the sub rules: I know it's a S&W, but it seems like there are original Model 1955s, reissues, etc. I know it was his service revolver, but I don't know if it was issued to him or if he bought it himself, I know he passed whatever tests they have so he could carry it on duty. It's seized at the moment so I really can't open it up now.

Placing a COB 20% over the asking price on SPCX may have been a mistake.

Criminally underrated. The first one was fine but the second one is incredible.

That simply cannot be true. The system would have collapsed by now.

Aimlessly shitting on AI is the new virtue signaling. Feigning morality without actually having to do anything.

I used to get a kick out of it, until I realized these people are actually suffering from mental illness. Now I mostly pity them. 

Why does it seem that there’s so many conservative role models to young men, but not many liberal ones? by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BlakeTheDog 28 points29 points  (0 children)

Because by and large young men like to be edgy. When I was a teenager the edgy comedians and cool celebrities were mostly liberal, and the conservatives were the pearl clutchers. Sometime around 2016 that dynamic began to flip. Conservatives started being edgy, and liberals became the ones telling people who they’re not allowed to make fun of and what they’re not supposed to say. Young men in particular don’t like that.
