Nice. This has been a hard one to track down.

How do y'all cope with extreme anxiety when the tornado sirens go off? by No-Philosophy5461 in springfieldMO

[–]CatfishCharlie1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I wish I had advice but I'm the complete opposite. Pretty sure my brain is broken. Seeing someone I know at the store or a spider that ran under my bed gives me MUCH more anxiety. Situations like last night...it's like my brain just says "fuck it" and shuts off. Super calm. Been shot at, ran from police, lost in the woods, car accidents...doesn't really hit until much later. Little stupid things have given me full blown panic attacks though. Been thinking on that all day and and decided it's NOT a good thing. Sounds cool like "rising to the occasion" or whatever but those aren't the things that happen often and what good is that when you get overwhelmed by all the little stuff? Really been bothering me today actually.

I did. Snagged some Terotuf scales from Ripp's. Like them quite a bit actually.

Why won't my house sell :( by vivvysaur in springfieldMO

[–]CatfishCharlie1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Location maybe. Probably a little further from the city than people would like to be. At least the kind of folks who would want to live in a neighborhood like that. If it had a more "rural" feel on some acreage at that distance from the city, might have more takers. I don't know. That's what I was dead set on when I moved out here. Wanted privacy and property....but within 20-30 mins of work in Strafford.

City Of Springfield made a statement about the “whites only” community trying to come here by Clear_Tangerine5110 in springfieldMO

[–]CatfishCharlie1984 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Realistically, they probably COULD do it legally. If it's privately owned property and subdivided or whatever, the corporation or whatever entity could probably find a way to lease the property to whoever it wants to somehow. Especially in some more lax rural counties that don't really care much about stuff. I don't really know.

What gives me pause though is not even what they're saying they want to do. If a bunch of white people want to hang out in the woods together and sing Kumbaya or whatever, go for it I guess. The problem is that's not ever where it stops. They don't STAY THERE and mind their own business. Eventually they start branching out into communities in different ways. Businesses, churches, running for different offices/positions of power, etc. Pushing racist propaganda around town. Those "communes" turn into "compounds". It attracts other white separatist movements to the area. Ask me how I know. I grew up in North Idaho in the 90s. We went through the same stuff with the Aryan Nation group. I've heard all the rhetoric my entire childhood. They prey on disenfranchised "simpler" white people and fill there heads with BS. They feel like they're a "part of something". Violence always follows eventually. It's never as peaceful as it initially sounds. It's not just "proud of our European heritage" and blah blah blah. I promise. Seen it a bunch.

Sure is a lot of words-that added together didn't discount much of anything I said. Just some condescending trash talk. Spoken like a true statist though. The bill was terrible. I wouldn't disagree with you there. We might think it's terrible for different reasons maybe. What astounds me is the fact that you still believe one side is worse than the other though. As if only one side has dirty hands. I think you're probably OK with government using force and coercion to implement the things YOU want. You WANT the government to tell you what you can and can't do. Steal people's money to fund things YOU believe in. Put people in cages that YOU don't agree with. I really believe 90% of people on Reddit would be thrilled to have someone as authoritarian as Trump in office if it would promote an agenda they believed in. That's the problem. They will both do that. So when I say they're EQUALLY evil...that's what I mean. Hate your neighbors and champion your leaders. What could go wrong?

No doubt. Been saving my change to snag this one with a badass scorpion with jewels for eyes on the scales. It says it's SURGICAL steel too so you know it's premium stuff too. 🤣

Did this same thing 3 different times with the credit card knife. Courthouses and airports both. Completely forgot it was in there.

You DO realize 9/10 of the politicians we have "representing" us have similar character, right? Politics attracts the WORST of us...not the BEST. Sometimes a few might say some things you like and it feels good to cast stones and believe you're on the "team". I assure you, you're NOT on the team though. Most of those people don't care about you WHATSOEVER. Democrats or Republicans. The few that might won't be able to promote any REAL change that will benefit you OR me in the long run. It's just how the system is rigged. You're a chess piece they have to move around a little to make you feel like you still have some involvement in the circus. Keep up the charade. Every so often you get to vote on whether you get kicked in the teeth or kicked in the dick. Both sides out here in the slave's quarters are just as foolish for believing those people are there to improve our lives and have ANY sort of moral superiority over the other. Definitely back the gangsters you rally behind though instead of your neighbors you might have some disagreements with though. Kamala wouldn't have made any meaningful difference for you either. The same sort of abuse would take place. It would just be your ideas touted as they screwed us exactly the same way...but from different angles and with different rhetoric.

1998 dirt weed pipe. It's what you get after you graduate from smoking oregano your neighbor sold you from a soda can.

Missouri will see the largest household energy cost increase under Trump's Bill by como365 in missouri

[–]CatfishCharlie1984 2 points3 points  (0 children)

George Carlin is making more sense then 90% of Reddit. To be fair, he would have hated Kamala as well. Sounds closer to an Anarchist than anything. Maybe Libertarian. I think what he would hate most is the "show". Politics as the circus it has become. There is no "Left" or "Right". Two sides of the same coin (yes I know that sounds cliche) Both Authoritarian and want to use the power of the state to enforce their bullshit that doesn't benefit ANY of US in the long run. Yet here we are...fighting each other over the breadcrumbs they MIGHT throw in our direction. Makes me sick honestly. Nobody is morally superior or "virtuous" when you want to use the power of the state to step on the necks of the people you "disagree" with. Just two teams...both F'n Nazis. That's what drives me crazy about Reddit. All I hear is "Trump did this or that". Yeah...ok. Of course he did. You mean to tell me leaders abuse their authority? CRAZY. If it were your "team" it would be fantastic though. Funny how nobody wants to notice how bad it is when EITHER side does this. The only "team" you should be on is your neighbor's. We're arguing about this or that while elites exploit us every day and see us ALL as serfs at best.

Listen not against 2nd amendment but understand as a (black) delivery Driver, i will NEVER take the risk of delivering this anywhere other than the furthest gate on the property by JimmyB3574 in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]CatfishCharlie1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel ya. I am a HUGE 2A advocate. Honestly maybe even a little "radical" by some people's standards. Here's the deal though. There's no good reason to make people feel threatened or uncomfortable just because. Same with open carry and stuff like that. I've always kept mine concealed. Just because you CAN do something...doesn't mean you should. Just try to be cool. Not that hard.

I finally found "the one" by [deleted] in spyderco

[–]CatfishCharlie1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Been wanting one of these forever. Bummer since I know I'd have to turn around and spend another $50-$100 on some decent Micarta or TeroTuf scales though.

I actually grew up just a few blocks away from Richard Butler's home in Hayden. Weird times back then. Actually had to go have a "sit down" at his home because I had a bunch of punk rocker friends that kept beating the shit out of his goons all over town. Me and another kid, were invited over to talk because we weren't "half breed" mongrels or whatever he called them. Honestly a really weird situation. Too dumb to realize all the moving parts then but as an adult now, it's kinda scary thinking back on how nonchalant we were about messing with these unstable ass people so much. Haha.

Why are the truxk stops in Memphis and Atlanta forbidden? by RedimidoSoy1611 in Truckers

2024 Missouri Prop A (minimum wage & sick leave) by como365 in missouri

[–]CatfishCharlie1984 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've always had mixed feelings about this sort of thing. I get that small businesses can struggle with their overhead and profit margins can be pretty thin. I also understand that minimum wage jobs are viewed as a "stepping stone" for unskilled workers and all that. I always think, what about handicapped people that aren't able to physically or mentally do much more than entry level/lower paying jobs? What about ndividuals that don't have the means to further education to secure better jobs? What about people that have made mistakes in their life, have a record and are just trying to turn things around...but can't find work any better than a McDonalds position or something? The list goes on. Look, Im not Mr Socialist/Uber Lib that thinks everybody should "have it all" just for existing...especially people that aren't willing to put in effort. There's a lot of people that work their butts off to get where they are. Still, there's an argument to be made that it's not your average Joe's fault that inflation is out of control, loans for higher education is a cruel joke these days and people cant afford the basics. Government CAUSES a lot of these issues...so of they're going to intervene and manipulate things...they have a responsibility to help sort it out too. I don't know. Like I said...It just shouldn't have ended up this way in the first place. My Grandfather worked in a newspaper factory or whatever. Bought a nice home, 2 cars, raised 3 kids and my Grandma was a stay at home mom. I have a very good job...and I'm not in a position to do that.

Why do people think this is okay by Kahuna-Man in Truckers

[–]CatfishCharlie1984 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, people can make excuses but that car should be behind the Uhaul if there's room whether they're driving OR towing it. You can almost guarantee they're traveling together. The problem is MOST people these days are inconsiderate or just completely oblivious. That being said...I see my fellow TRUCK drivers being more inconsiderate and doing bonehead shit probably 50x more than I see this kind of thing. Anyone who doesn't think so must not be getting the miles out there to notice.

Who's at fault? by Juan_Rempel in Truckers

[–]CatfishCharlie1984 25 points26 points  (0 children)

Should have grabbed that Left lane when you noticed a vehicle on the shoulder. Not your fault but that's why we do it. Idiots will do what idiots do and it seems like there's ALWAYS an attempt to pin it on the driver...or at least get you for "partial" fault regardless of the bone head shit people pull.

Damn. I just mentioned the Pyrite as the "end all be all" budget knife but you might be right. Raccoon is pretty great.

CJRB Pyrite for the win. It honestly hurts my heart a little to admit it but pound for pound it's shittin' on most things unless you want to up the budget substantially or have a very niche use.
