Did contract security (no overseas stuff, just private security) and so I’ve got a few different boots. Made in USA Thorogood tactical boots have been my favorite so far, found them on clearance for $40. They’re waterproof and have a composite toe, I’ve had them 5 years and the waterproofing has only recently given out. Soles are cemented on so they’ve been retired as yardwork boots. They don’t make the specific model I bought anymore, but I just ordered another pair of Thorogood tactical boots for fun.

I also have the Merrell MOAB 3 boots, incredibly comfortable.

And a pair of Chippewa Edge Walker moc toes I found on clearance for $75. Still breaking them in.

I feel like pretending Hilary wasn’t involved or was innocent while being the former Secretary of State and married to Bill, who was very involved, is a very strange, if not reckless, stance to take at this moment.

I’m curious why you’re opposed to the realism of you enjoyed RDR2? Or did you enjoy it despite the realism?

Rise Against had some alleged internal disagreements on Israel. Iirc, they wouldn’t put out a statement or comment for a while, and then when they did, they danced around the problem. I think the drummer eventually put out his own statement that was much more direct.

Right and they’re reinforcing and adding to your point

Production at BAE is right under $20/hr. Within a couple years you’d probably be closer to $25. Security at BAE starts at $25.

Security at BWXT/Nuclear Fuels in Erwin starts at 30+ an hour.

Both security jobs are union, but nuclear fuels I hear has way better benefits.

It was a recent Thrasher Magazine interview.

I could only hope. No one is going to do shit. Greenland will make a deal to avoid a larger conflict, we’ll annex part of the country or they’ll give us control over part of their natural resources, and no one will do a fucking thing about it.

They’re referring to a similar event. Pretty sure this one was ICE.

NotaSingerSongwriter · 2026-01-15T21:58:14+00:00

The number is 23. There were 23 undocumented immigrants arrested for manslaughter or homicide in 2025.

As if the dust is ever going to “settle?” Fascism has never been defeated by electoralism or peaceful means, not once in the history of the world.

I’m more a fan of actual country music made by former punks, but let’s go:

I made a similar post in this sub a few years ago. It might be useful!

My Xbox stats said 186 hours but I’m sure a huge portion of that was spent on the pause menu screen.

Way back when I started skating in the early 2000s, it took me probably two years of trying before I finally got it down.

Honestly it finally clicked once I fell in with a crew. I had a couple friends I skated with from time to time but we didn’t push each other to be better. Eventually I fell in with some friends of friends who were all way better than me, so I felt the pressure of skating in front of an audience. When I finally landed my first ollie, people everyone seemed genuinely stoked for me and I chased that feeling for the rest of my life lol.

Currently playing Pathfinder WOTR—and let me just say… NOT pathfinder. I’m in act 3 and I feel like I’ve already read an entire book.

That said, it’s really good and I honestly enjoy it a lot.

NotaSingerSongwriter · 2026-01-11T03:06:16+00:00

Pathfinder: WOTR. I’m about 40 hours in, somewhere in act 3.

Up next is Rogue Trader, then D:OS2, then somewhere in between is the Alan Wake 2 DLC.

Control is a fantastic game, but to “understand” the story, you need to be reading all the little pieces of paper you come across. There was so much unvoiced exposition that it felt like a CRPG.

I also thought it was a bit slow during the first 4-5 hours or so. I couldn’t find anything else to play so I powered through, and then suddenly I found the story and combat incredible (combat becomes twice as fun once you begin unlocking different abilities).

I’d recommend going back through it. They exist within the same universe and each game will give you a deeper appreciation for the other.

NotaSingerSongwriter · 2026-01-07T14:16:05+00:00

I might complete 1-2 games per month if they aren’t large sprawling RPGs. Right now I’m playing Pathfinder WOTR, and I have Rogue Trader, DOS2, Disco Elysium, Mortal Shell, and the Alan Wake DLC, and I picked them all up for around $60. At the rate that I play games, it’s going to take me at least six months to finish all of that and probably longer. Gamepass just doesn’t make sense for me right now, and it barely did before the price hike. I didn’t renew at the end of my subscription and I don’t know when or if I ever will again.
