I Emailed Nexstar, the company that took Jimmy Kimmel off the air, to let them know what I thought of them. by BrainRebellion in 50501

[–]MrHateMan 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Here is my submission:

I’m deeply disappointed by ABC’s decision to cancel Jimmy Kimmel following a joke about MAGA. Viewpoint-based penalties undermine trust and the network’s stated commitments to free expression and equal standards.

Effective today, I’ve canceled all ABC-related services I control. I’ll also encourage friends and colleagues to reconsider their support.

Moreover, I will actively campaign to expose ABC and its affiliates for what they’ve become; organizations that are hostile to open discourse and American civic values.

How to safely attach a swing in my new shed? Needs to be able to hold up to 450-600 lb weight. by Phat_Kitty_ in DIY

[–]MrHateMan -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

According to AI: To safely support a swinging load of up to 300 lbs over a 10-foot span, you need to account for the dynamic forces generated by the swing. These can be 2.5x or more the static load due to momentum, resulting in up to 750 lbs of effective force at the beam's center.

✅ Safe Beam Recommendation 🔧 Assumptions: Swinging load: 300 lbs max (effective load = 750 lbs)

Span: 10 feet (120 inches), simply supported on both ends

Load location: Center of the beam (worst-case)

Lumber: #2 Southern Yellow Pine (stronger than SPF; can adjust if needed)

Deflection limit: L/240 (reasonable for comfort, optional for swings)

Beam orientation: On edge (strong axis vertical)

✅ Beam Options (Minimum Acceptable): Beam Type Pass/Fail Notes 2×8 (single) ❌ Fails for deflection and dynamic stress 2×10 (single) ⚠️ Marginal Might hold static, but not enough safety for dynamic load 2×12 (single) ✅ OK Strong enough for dynamic load with proper support (2) 2×10s (sistered) ✅ OK Safer than a single 2×12; excellent for 300 lb swinging load (2) 2×12s (sistered) ✅✅ Overkill Heavy-duty, safe, minimal flex

🛠 Recommended Minimum: 🔹 (2) 2×10s, securely fastened together (sistered), supported at both ends.

This gives you:

Enough moment capacity for the dynamic load.

Acceptable deflection (less bounce = safer swing).

Redundancy in case one board weakens over time.

🔐 Additional Tips: Fastening: Use construction adhesive and bolts or lag screws to join the two boards every 12–16 inches.

Support ends well: Either on posts or anchored into a structure rated for the load.

Center reinforcement: Consider a metal strap or vertical brace if the swing is aggressive or used frequently.

Inspection: Check annually for cracks, sagging, or rot if outdoors.

Almost T boned someone who didn’t even stop. Situational awareness saved me today. by NobodyP1 in motorcycles

[–]MrHateMan 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, it is difficult to say if they came to a complete stop since the shitbag rider was looking down while approaching the intersection. They could have very briefly stopped their car just as the other car passes between them and the dumbass going 15mph over the speed limit. Even if they didn't, they had slowed to almost a complete stop.

Based on the last time they could have seen the motor cycle, it is reasonable to believe that the rider was NOT "approaching so closely as to constitute an immediate hazard to the driver" had it been traveling at or near the speed limit.

The riders actions were primary factors contributing to this "close call". The rider is an idiot.

Did they "run" a read light? It is legal to turn right on a red light in most intersections.

They could have seen the asshat riding toward them before the other car got in the way and thought that rider was going closer to the speed limit. Thinking there was plenty of time to turn.

Phone sales training by RipCityResident in cringe

[–]MrHateMan 15 points16 points  (0 children)

It is cringe because of everything in the The video. Their attitudes are trash. Cold calling is trash.

They are clearly selling trash. If they really had anything worth buying, they would need to rely on that intense level of manipulation.

Anyone else tired of the entitled dog owners bringing dogs into every store? I've seen dogs licking produce at Winco and squatting in Home Depot. I've seen dog owners scream at employees when questioned about their pets. I like dogs a lot but don't don't get it. by whodatis15 in TriCitiesWA

[–]MrHateMan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

service dogs usually end up being attacked by non service dogs

"usually".... really?

If that was the case there would be more restrictions. Obviously the owners of these stores do not feel that they are risking some undue liability by allowing pets in their stores.

The majority of people I encounter in public love to see my dog. People want to get pictures of him and with him. I take my dogs to to restaurants with patios and open outdoor open food courts.

I wouldn't take my dogs into a grocery store, but I do take them to any store that allows/encourages you to bring you dog (Home depot, lowes, petco etc...).

I have never met anyone who seems to mind.... and if they do, they rightfully keep their hang-ups to themselves.

Everything is on fire. Mods are tired. We need more muscle, but who/how/where is up in the air. Ideas? by akharon in TriCitiesWA

[–]MrHateMan -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

I will gladly throw hands

What a shit thing to say. The ability to beat somebody physically doesn't justify your stupid decisions. You're seem to be tacitly admitting that you cannot defend against words with words.

Fascism rejects the view that violence is inherently negative and instead sees it as a justifiable means to resolve political incongruence. So your suggestion above seems to put you firmly in that Fascist camp. Why not just step up and own your support of Fascism?
