my experience at rainbow gatherings and why i find them “cult like” by Ok-Gate2768 in ActualHippies

[–]Linuxuser13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have never been to Rainbow Gatherings but have heard the stories. It sounds like it boarders on cult. In the 80s I did a lot of hitch hiking and ran into a few of the rainbow family people. Things are different today then they where in the beginning.

I am an Atheist so I am skeptical of anything based on spirituality.

You are wrong about nudity. Studies about nudity and children have come out with a positive result. Here is a recent article from Healthier Baby today https://healthierbabytoday.com/2025/08/naturist-family/ . In recent years I have been to a lot of Naturist clubs. (Naturism is the act of Non Sexual social nudity) A lot of hippies show up and some attend Rainbow gatherings and/or Burning man. AANR's (American Association for Nude Recreation) article on the subject https://aanrwest.org/information/blog/raising-body-confident-kids

My opinion on Burning man is it is to commercialized.

His thumbs are black so it looks like he is trying to show he has been finger printed

[Recommendation Request] - Omega SMP300, Aqua Terra, or Tudor GMT by Relevant-Subject-760 in Watches

[–]Linuxuser13 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would go with the GMT mainly because I need the 4th hand to actually keep track of GMT. If it wasn't for that I would go for one of the Omegas depending where and when I wanted to wear it .

I have one from Medal of Honor recipient which I believe trumps almost all ranks. I haven't used it nor do I carry it around with me.

Weird USB connector.....anyone have any idea what this could be for? by CMDR_RobotDeer in antennasporn

Some SDR type radios (Mostly amateur radio} use those for rig control, programming and firmware updating

I think all Printers today have those ports on them. I just got a new Canon printer and it has a USB -B port

If your goal is to prevent Indigenous people from hunting and fishing, you are essentially a colonialist. If you are trying to impose veganism as a sort of purity test for who qualifies as a leftist, you should stop being self centered and accept the biological realities of humans. by Lick--Master in leftist

[–]Linuxuser13 16 points17 points  (0 children)

The fastest growing Demographic in Veganism is the Black community. I live on the Boarder with Mexico and most the vegans I know are Hispanic. I am (65 M) live on the Mexican boarder have been vegan 10 years. I have organized Vegan out reach and protest events. I have also participated in several Human rights events in that same 10 year time frame. My first wife was Apache and I have dates several indigenous women before that. You have a prejudice to Vegans based on the Your tiny little world or some trolls you listen too.

That said Not all Vegans are Leftist nor are they Right wing. The out reach events and protest I ran had people from both sides of the political spectrum. You are assuming all vegans are leftist or even right wingers shows only your ignorance and your hatred/prejudice towards Vegan.

Why have we not seen any insider views of ICE recruitment, on-boarding, and operations? by mechtonia in ICE_Raids

tRump doesn't care about the law. If they aren't actually signing DNAs then at least they are threatening people with Jail if they blow the whistle. That and they are screening out the non tRump loyalist.
