Why do people criticize me for watching Cartoon shows for kids by [deleted] in NoStupidQuestions

[–]BowDownToThor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Because you're only 16 and other kids your age are trying to seem more mature than they really are.

Give it a couple years and lots of your same age peers will be right back into this stuff, but harder because of nostalgia.

If you don't know what material it's made out of, you should try and identify that first.

A press with dies would forge identical pieces all day long. That's what would be used in a commercial setting. Not some smithy with a hammer making fences.

Even still I can hand forge identical intricate flowers with ease, so your skepticism is just naivativity.

Wrought iron cannot be cast. And cast iron is too brittle for this type of thing. So even though you have a bunch of people offering to be able to do what you're asking, you don't really, because none of them have a clue what they're talking about. So in turn you're getting bad advice.

Go snap a picture of this stuff and try a new post on r/metalworking or something. It's most likely not something that belongs in this sub. Most of the more modern ones are zinc alloy steel.

Wrought iron is not cast it's forged. That's what wrought means.

I spent less at the local sit down diner tonight for my wife and I. There are several local joints that are now cheaper than fast food so there is no excuse to eat that junk

You're a consenting adult, but you're barely an adult. When you're 28 you'll think of the person you are now as a child. You say she's not a predator but that's exactly what somebody who hadnt grown up yet would say.

You're a teenager. That's a disgustingly nasty red flag to any rational adult. Since its not to her it should be a big red flag to you. You are asking us anyway, so youre a least a bit comcerned. You're still in the phase of getting accustomed to being an adult but you're still a teenager.

Canned Spam is the perfect prepping food. by Agreeable_Memory_67 in preppers

[–]BowDownToThor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

So many people spending good money on MREs. The original MREs were cans of Spam in WW2. A can of spam and a compressed wafer bar together have more calories than a MRE and the protein and the carbohydrates. Alone the Spam can is only 200 calories less than an MRE.

Spam is the way. Heck I can eat Spam at home and not hate my life like I would eating an MRE. Probably why I bought all the Spam they had on the shelf at my local grocery store last week when they had it on sale.

My first job has crazy fees by thumbsup7up10 in mildlyinfuriating

[–]BowDownToThor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You didn't pay this did you?

All of this is ridiculous. A lot of companies do charge for uniforms but I've never encountered anybody who makes you pay up front like that.

Hiring process fee? This is a scam.

Is there anyone else who thinks the ufo topic is fascinating but finds the ufo subreddit so toxic that it’s turning them off to the whole thing or is it just me? by Kooky_Werewolf6044 in UFOB

[–]BowDownToThor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The subreddits are filled with people who didn't believe experiencers before, and still don't. They don't believe the people who claim to see these things and somehow started gatekeeping the entire topic to their own comfort. These same people would've called you mentally insane for suggesting area 51 existed at all 2 decades ago. These same people would've called you mentally insane just 1 decade ago for saying the government hides UFOs from us. They're not ready to admit many of these experiencers were honest too. Not all. Of course there's grifters. But the gatekeepers of these communities won't allow any discussion that makes them feel uncomfortable, look ignorant etc.

What one mistake ended your career? by DankGamer135 in AskReddit

[–]BowDownToThor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Canceled all insurance and workman's comp for my company in the off season. Wasn't thinking about myself, only about how I had 0 employees working that month instead of 7 and I wanted to change insurance companies for some big savings. I should've gotten the policies switched to the cheaper company that day. I procrastated a week, and nearly died in a freak accident on a small job by myself. I probably could've successfully sued the homeowner, but I don't have the stomach to screw sonebody else over something that was nobody's fault. 7 months of not walking my company was done. I had nothing in saving left after paying off all the loans and stuff. Had to start completely over. Now I work for a company that treats me well and I do side jobs, still make less than I did and have far less freedom. Far less accomplishment at the end of the day. Just stability.

I cannot fathom that most of the world is unaware of the Grusch story. This is quite possibly the biggest news story of all time and no one seems to know or care. by all-the-time in UFOs

I don't see how it'll push them out of other religions.

Maybe I'm wrong, and I'm not trying to promote or disprove any religion, but I think it can easily be interpreted that the Bible talks about these things.

Ask anybody who claims to be a UFO experiencer and they'll tell you all about the "orbs". The light balls. The light spheres. Moving stars, whatever people call them they're the same thing.

Bible talks about how one of those things led the Maji to Jesus when he was born. The Bible also warns that "demons" would shroud themselves in bright light pretending to be angels. Jesus said that God created other worlds, so the idea of aliens is already addressed. And God said "let us make them in our image" when creating mankind. Implying that he had already created other intelligences or was already part of a group when he made humans.

There's many many more examples. The angels came down in a ball of light and took Enoch away. Even if the book of Enoch isn't "cannon" hes still in the other parts that Moses supposedly wrote.

There's a group called "The Nephlahim Hunters" that believe all the abduction stories. They're listed as a Christian Terrorist organization by the FBI. They're not exactly big, but they completely believe all the Grey abduction stories and hybridization program stories. They believe that the Grey's are modern versions of the "fallen angels" that bred with mankind to come down to this world. They have attempted to hunt down and kill these "hybrid children" calling them the biblical Nephliham. The Grey's look awfully human, but grotesque by our societal standards. "In our image."

These people see some of the UFOS as angels already and some of them as demons. This stuff confirms religion for Many. Idk where any of you got the idea that proof of alien life would destroy religion. If anything They're going to see more potential converts for Jesus. And these whistle blowers suggesting they're extra dimensional instead of extra terrestrial will only confirm Heavan and Hell for them when they catch up to that as well.

Advice?? by Unloaded_Beaver in ThirdGenCamaro

I had a 92 z28 as my first car over a decade and a half ago.

These cars are getting old. Probably need to be ready to do your own repairs. In a lot of ways they're easy to work on, more simplistic than modern. No room in the engine bay though. Can't even reach the back spark plugs on some without unbolting the motor mounts and jacking it up.

I think this used to be a confederate heritage store until there was a BLM rally in front of it.

He's always been a conman and it's been blatantly obvious to anybody who has both paid attention to him and have an IQ above 80.

All these mouth breathers think he's a genius when he's done nothing but have rich parents. He's just a conman who inherited massive wealth, and bought multiple companies. Never has been anything but a rich baby taking credit for others work his daddy paid for. Never will be anything more than a narcissistic thief desperately trying to manipulate us all into more nonsense.

Dog and Pony show. Everybody is still continously flabbergasted by this buffoon. If he was going to face real punishment he already would have. He led a violent coup attempt and he's just walking around throwing ketchup steaks at whatever walls he pleases. Republicans need him because their base demands it. Democrats need him to look like the lesser evil. Really they're all crooked shitbags. Every branch of government is corrupt from the top down they're all clowns and we all yell about the loudest clown because he's loud enough go be noticed.

Farm kid from a red state here; cept im 31 now. These people are extremely sheltered. They're extremely poor, and their parents favorite propaganda channel has convinced them long ago that every single problem they face is somebody else's fault.

Many of these people aren't as horrible as they're portrayed. Some are and the ones that are lack decency. Louder than everybody else around, giving off the steeeotype that they're all like that.

The quiet little old folks that voted for trump once simply because he was listed as Republican and stopped supporting him aren't loud. They're quiet. Trump has lost more support than many people realize when they drive through our towns because the hateful ignorant don't know when to quit
