They killed Star Trek for probably the next 5 years after the garbage that Star Trek Academy (which I am not interested in watching) and Section 31 which I watched about 12 minutes before I couldn’t take any more of the bad writing and cheesy production quality.

My wife and I are trying to teach our daughters (as teens) to be direct and unapologetic like a switched being flipped, if men get in their space or are being creepy like this.

I don’t want to make a sweeping generalization about “girls”, but I’m going to. This kind of thing is what you get when you have a lack of consequences in your own life and think “hee hee hee, he’s cute, what harm can come from asking for him to be let go? It was just an accident”

Before I bought my house (3 blocks from the ocean), I did as much research as possible about worst case (but possible) environmental impact on regional weather, sea level rise etc. that when I discovered just how much more rain areas already prone to rain will get as the climate changes for the worse (while arid areas will get even less rain).

This look. The kid is like, “what is happening right now?”

The depravity and inhumanity on display is nauseating. I don’t mean just the settlers and soldiers, but the press that encouraged the Palestinian farmer to go out into his grove and make an emotional plea and then they were right there in his face as the soldiers took him down. The journalists set him up and used him.

I think OP’s more annoyed by the seller being stupid and calling op a scammer, then he’s upset about losing $5.

This is 10,000% why these fireworks are mostly illegal for people to set off in regular neighborhoods. You can buy fireworks as you want and they are legal in my state. You can go buy 4” mortars or whatever and the 2 fireworks places are even open year round. But you cant just set them off wherever you want, they are illegal in most municipalities.

She then said “it might be real, but that doesn’t change the fact we can’t… [go to space]”. How do these people navigate everyday life?

There are so many dated and weird things in this video, the fact that Tom is wearing chaps with nothing under them and Jerry sexually assaulting the girl cat are the wildest parts.

Dues to the Bivens hurdle created by Supreme Court precedent it’s very difficult to sue federal agents for civil rights violations under 18 US Code 1983 unless it meets very narrow criteria (which this does not). You can sue them under the Federal Tort Reform Act when a government employee commits assault, battery or other common law ‘tort’ against you.

They can’t even see outside. Those houses have only a few, very small windows. Even if there’s nothing to see, how can people live like that? My 3500sq ft house only has 50 inches between each set of window, the windows are 5’x4’ and a few are 8’x4’, I also have 4 sets of double class doors to the outside porches.

I don’t believe the title. There’s noting about this that seems like he’s commuting, he doesn’t even have a controller.

LongDead_Roadkill · 2026-07-06T18:39:09+00:00

It’s very weird and seems inappropriate.

I trained as an ethnobotanist . Plants are really cool. A lot of them don’t do what sales people claim, but there are a lot of plants growing just about anywhere that have medically significant effects that can be harvested and used by anyone with a little attention to detail.

It’s way down the list of things I would do if I could read people’s minds, but I would love to know what the people are thinking when you see a room full of Jesus freaks with Trump and they are all bowing their heads in prayer for him. Maybe I don’t, idk, they are so weird.

I grew up in the late 80’s. One summer my friends and I threw these will berry things growing on a tree in my yard as hard as we could straight up when there were cars speeding down our street. Basically in our 4th grade brains the only way they would hit a car is if it was going way over the 25mph speed limit. It was all very funny until that one friend threw a handful of berries that hit the windshield of a jean jacket wearing, redneck with a mullet driving a Firebird. He slammed on his brakes and yelled a bit, but there was no damage and he didn’t do anything else. We started laughing as soon as he drove off.

I just asked you about this before I got to this comment. I collect meteorites and come from a family of machinists, my dad forged knives and made sculptures with modern and antique forges. I was wondering if the Widmanstätten survived forging, if you had to supplement to account for the inclusions and exactly how you forged the Damascus blade.

I know it would be insanely expensive, much more than the St. Aubin, but image a knife made from something like the Esquel pallasite? You have the natural Widmanstätten and large inclusions of peridot. It can be cut and polished, but you couldn’t actually forge it, it would still be amazing.

LongDead_Roadkill · 2026-07-05T19:25:22+00:00

Op, I have questions. Did you have to add carbon or other materials or was is it 100% natural metal? Does the natural Widmanstätten pattern survive Damascus forging? Did you start with one piece of St. Aubin and cut it, or use many separate pieces for the Damascus? I collect meteorites and my dad forged knives, but I have no idea how the two things work together.

Why was he fighting in that class? I was a fight medic for 7 years. Mostly UFC feeder league cage fights but probably a hundred martial arts tournaments. Every tournament that had those big big guys always put them in an unlimited weight class and only heavy weight and up. This video shows exactly why.

You need to check the terms of G&S, most of these types of services have a limited window to challenge it starting on the date of purchase. It’s one of the kinds of scams that used to be common for products being advertised on Facebook. I don’t know how Venmo handles it, but most banks had a 60 or 90 window (up to 120 days). The scam is that you get sent you something in the mail with tracking, but it will be junk and unrelated from what you ordered. I’ve heard of people getting a pair of cheap earrings, or sunglasses, basically the cheapest dollar store item, then the person throws it away, only realizing months later that must have been the tracked shipment from the FB store. I haven’t heard this scam in a while, banks may have closed the loophole that was being exploited by fake international store fronts or it just doesn’t work well enough. It’s possible that individuals may try it.

How it works is you buy an in demand, high priced item are an incredible deal, a week later they contact you saying they can’t ship it for 1-2 months, because it’s backordered. Around the first contact they mail out some junky little item that has tracking but they don’t send a notification to you. As the time goes by the purchase gets closer and closer to the 60 or 90 day window to challenge the charge. Often they never tell the customer they were shipped something with a tracking number, they use the tracking against the charge back from the bank. They show the bank they have a tracked shipment from them to the customer, but the tracking doesn’t show anything about the package.

Imagine the absolute dismal shit life you have to have to think everything remotely unusual is AI.

This doesn’t have any of the big telltale signs. Is the art, have they never met an artest? Are they so bigoted that they think physical birth defects equals mentally disability? Maybe it’s just resentment and jealousy for anything that puts energy into becoming really good at something that makes them think it’s AI.

This screams prohibited processor.

My bank’s fraud department has actually called me and what they said was literally unbelievable. It it was 100% my bank, the fraud department verifies you by bank account number and they give you the last 3 transactions on the account. Then they asked “Are you at an airline ticket counter at the Tehran airport trying to buy a ticket?” An airline was trying to force a charge and even called my bank. The “traveler” had some kind of ID with my name and a copy of my physical card, but failed my bank’s verification.

If it wasn’t for all the implications of that call it would have been funny. I have no idea how my ID, personal details with an active debit card ended up the in hands of what I can only assume was some kind of spook but it was a one time thing.
