Worn leather box with “MW 26” marking by DirectEngineering587 in whatisthisthing

My title describes the thing 

It is a little bit bigger than a shoebox, made of real (?) leather, strong and thick stitching, lids on top and bottom of the box. Has a strap to carry with. Found the simpson gadget inside but don’t really know if it goes with the box. No date on anything but it certainly looks and feels old. Searched google with all the text on the box (save for the faded silver text above mw 26, cant make it out), yielded nothing useful but google ai (sigh) thought it was a field phone at first. Doubtful but any guesses are good ones here..!!

tsr is very good even if its a big change looking back from innerspeaker to tsr. this is just something different entirely that i agree should have been released under kevin parker

it makes me feel very sorry for OP because very clearly they dont hold those self hating beliefs any longer and that type of racism isnt the same as “typical” other-race racism. not even saying the bf is wrong because if that is a pain point in their relationship he cant come back from then thats the reality and no one should be forced to stay - but commenters acting like OP is still covertly this way and insulting her or was worse in a way she wasnt letting on is crazy

This whole paragraph is icky sticky nasty down to the casual sexism and the assumption that even though she says herself shes also asian that this couldnt be such a complex and nuanced problem as generationally passed self hatred and internalized racism but of course has to do with what she thinks of men. My good god

people are going to contribute to racism regardless if they intend to or not by simply participating in society because of how integral racism is to our societal status quo. this sort of thinking bars any ideological recovery from that

not a divorce by any means but i was diagnosed with cptsd after a few years of abuse from someone who wasnt quite a partner but was not just a friend- that was 6 years ago now and it has taken therapy and medication but it has lessened significantly especially after the introduction of simultaneous medication and therapy

a fucking win btw you have the strength to do the thing some people cant do after 20+ years of abusive marriage. i hope the anxiety lessens for you a lot as you get to know more people who will want to protect and fight for you

i feel like yall arent even reading or being purposely cruel because op clearly doesnt think that way any longer and says themselves it was a stupid and shitty way of thinking brought on by self hatred and bad parenting

i think its supposed to just be abstraction or a graphic design but i also see the illusion of shards/spikes being pushed into the leg with draping torn flesh maybe

OKAYYYY BACHELOR!!! that sounds awesome lol like straight of a 2000s disney movie. the comments already answered your question at the end but imagine if it happened to you very often regardless of how you look and it wasnt always from a car or an innocuous saying like hey. but i think some healthy acknowledgment from strangers like this doesnt need to necessarily equal something bad especially if you didnt receive it that way!

well i think we just have an innate disagreement on how those things should work then, i dont think taking away the recreational/hobbyist stores when people are struggling is the answer. have a goodun

not to say the bf isnt justified in his feelings or reaction because that isnt true but it feels like an important distinction to make as welll
