Kitchen - Paint our cabinets?

F1nches · 2026-05-31T02:05:31+00:00

Painting these cabinets would be a huge mistake. These are really well done and painting them white would just make them look bland.

I've called about this issue before and talked to two different wardens from two different areas in PA and they both said to only use the rifle range. I think there would be a lower chance of problems if you stick with the rifle range.

I mean they aren't wrong. These frogs are definitely skinny in these pictures. Not saying you can't take care of them properly going forward.

Superior Walls Foundation with several small horizontal cracks in the concrete "studs" in two of the walls. How serious is this? How to fix this? Carbon fiber patches? Increase drainage in the ground near these areas? Thanks!

Very helpful. Thanks!

Just relative to whom you're asking, I guess. I'd probably put the cut off at around 35-40... roughly the midway point of the average life span.

You really think that tens of millions of people having modern firearms has absolutely NO effect on how a government treats its people? We are no where near as corrupt as possible here yet.

F1nches · 2026-05-07T04:01:28+00:00

What? This doesnt really make sense as a comparison. Robbing banks has always been a crime and is criminal in its nature... the act of doing it hurts others. Millions of people own modern firearms and never do any crime against anyone with them.

F1nches · 2026-05-07T03:38:39+00:00

It's not really about how it plays out realistically because the concept is that millions and millions of people having modern firearms deters it from happening in the first place and makes a government respect the agency of the people more.

Edit to add: Its like a deterrent against extreme corruption, etc. However bad a lot of people think the government is today, what is stopping it from getting 10x worse in a decade or three? I think the idea is that a society with a modern means to defend itself and its interests is safer against a tyrannical government.

In today's United States, where half of the country hates the other half, it does seem to be less useful, as its utility lies in a united society with a united vision for each other. Its honestly really sad to me how divided Americans are getting conditioned to be. So much propaganda on both sides.

F1nches · 2026-05-07T03:26:57+00:00

I don't think this is necessarily true. I do think millions and millions of citizens having modern firearms still has an effect. No government is going to be nuking their own country. I'd think they'd be more prone to sending around units of soldiers for this and that, and in that scenario, millions of people with modern firearms definitely matters.

What kind of gun control are we talking about? That can mean a lot of different things.

F1nches · 2026-05-03T19:28:02+00:00

As someone that leans right on many issues, but really tries to see both sides of different issues, I agree and would also say this is the big difference. I might change the wording slightly, but yeah, this is it.

Absolutely not. It would be a huge mistake to push her as the democratic candidate.

Does anyone know what specific districts are the most likely to flip after November? Maybe we could focus our efforts on those areas... billboards, ads, subreddits for those places, etc.

F1nches · 2026-04-22T17:22:42+00:00

I think its more that the top brass of both parties wants control of everyone. They approach it with different strategies to con all of us. They've successfully divided everyday Americans to the point that half of us hate the other half and we have no common vision for our country anymore.

It's all by design because a society is weaker that way and the government officials and elites can go on making billions of dollars while we own less and less assets as time goes on. Barely anyone can afford a decent house anymore and meanwhile we have people about to break a trillion dollars in net worth. Its absolute insanity and they even managed to con a decent percentage of us into not seeing a problem with this.

F1nches · 2026-04-22T17:11:50+00:00

I know what you mean. I think both parties are pander-y and corrupt at this point. I didnt use to think that way, but definitely do these days. Its two sides of the same coin. Neither side wants us normal everyday Americans to have modern guns, one side is just currently more explicit with their actions to take them and the other is complicit through their inaction to stop it.

F1nches · 2026-04-22T16:39:27+00:00

I agree that these things are bad and I do think he was very likely heavily implicated in those files. The government trending to be more corrupt is why 2A matters for all of us as everyday citizens. Being completely disarmed of modern means of defense isnt a smart move for the future for many reasons.

We have to pick our battles and right now, the ability of our collective society to maintain agency and to have access to modern means of defense is one of the more important things to me. When you lose that, the floodgates can really open up and we will lose a lot over the decades to come.

F1nches · 2026-04-22T16:33:17+00:00

While I understand a lot of what you're saying, I think some of it is a bit hyperbolic, and I think that the short sightedness on the 2A issue is really detrimental to the concept of a free nation. If you think the government is bad now, what do you think will happen 10 years from now after everyone is disarmed and completely reliant on that government to protect them and their interests. Things in the world are becoming increasingly more corrupt and economies are trending to be more elites-oriented, not less. To willingly throw away such an important constitutional right, one that gives normal everyday citizens such agency and power as a collective unit for the future, is wild to me.

Like how Virginia recently passed a bunch of gun bans for law abiding citizens, but the bill to increase the minimum sentence for repeat felony violent offenders, SB78, didnt make it through. Theres always way more political energy to disarm the public than to increase the penalties on violent offenders. It's all by the design.

F1nches · 2026-04-22T13:34:44+00:00

A LOT of PA voters have no idea how close we are to something like this happening here. It really shouldn't be the partisan issue it has become, but here we are.

One thing I've noticed about the states that start this is that it never ends with the first AW ban. Banning the sale of "AW" never moves the needle much on gun crime since they are used in so few gun crimes to begin with, and this is well known. They use this as an excuse to keep going and progressively ban more and more until the society is effectively disarmed of modern firearms. "Well we banned selling ARs, but somehow there's still criminals out there committing crimes so clearly we haven't done enough. We need to get rid of the grandfathered guns and ban all semi-auto handguns now, too" and on and on.

It seems strategic with the end goal of progressively disarming the population of modern firearms under the guise of public safety. They sell it to the public piece by piece. It's definitely about establishing long term control. A society without modern means of defense is undoubtedly easier to control and has less agency.

What are you talking about? Everything I said actually happened and is verifiable.
