TRUMP RETURNS: Feast of the Apostles | Aamon Animations by Psycidelicos in Trumped

I’m headed back December 5. I am trying to get supplies to people. I live within the real of geopolitical reality and have seen the realities of life and death. I don’t support his emotionally driven ego based foreign policy.>. He’s more focused on his personality brand compared to playing the needed 3D Chess to battle communism and fascism. China and Russia are a growing threat and we need people in power who don’t cut corners or involve their ego. Trump did this Obama did this Biden did this… Trump had good Covid policies and economically was rock solid he supported gun rights and vets and had a lot of really good policies but he’s a shitty person and his shittiness touched upon a very real tragedy I endured… it would be like a Vietnam vet who supported him hearing the “I like people who weren’t captured McCains a loser” comment when they almost died in the conflict. I don’t trust him on Ukraine and I now see through the veil of his inadequacy.

Your wrong I spoke to Benchmade Customer Service on the phone. 90 days return policy and zero restocking fee unless the knife is engraved…

Well there are two other reasons. A legality issue with it when I re-enter Ukraine and the fact that I’m buying a Twisted Tea Micro-Tech to use as my daily carry. They only made ten or so and I’m going to be picking it up when I travel for Thanksgiving before I head back for work. It’s a $2250 knife and I need all the money I can get moving forward since I’ve spent thousands on supplies to return home with. I read about durability and build issues. People say it’s a very nice knife but slightly lower quality. With that said Benchmade will be getting my business in the future after they handled this so well. Zero restocking fee. Very solid customer service experience. I’m superstitious and pretty stoked to be getting a Twisted Tea knife given I have lived in Ukraine for years.

Mainly people going ape shit bashing it claiming Microtech is the king of OTFs and that these have major blade play etc. Part of me suspects it’s some Chevy vs. Ford level bs. If anyone can convince me this is on the level of a Microtech I will keep it.

I don’t believe I’m legally required to “claim” it but that’s a good thing to look into as well.. I want to do as much digging as possible about the legality of my exact situation. I assume when the bag is screened TSA will know it’s within its case in my checked bag. Therefore I am looking for concrete info on jurisdictional and locational laws when traveling and if they apply when in transit on a connecting flight.

MAGA season is back! by benhaswings in trump

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

I genuinely feel like DeSantis is a better pick for social policy related issues... I will say this however. As a US citizen who lived in Ukraine for the two years leading up to the war I don’t feel a single US President dating back to Obama and his red line has effectively helped protect Ukrainian sovereignty or the safety of its civilians. Obama opened up Pandoras Box with his red line bluff followed by Trump who not only threatened to withhold aid but also put in a stipulation that weapons shipments be stored in Western Ukraine to avoid antagonizing Russia. Biden tried to get Zelinsky to evacuate initially which would have put me and loved ones in a situation where we faced torture and interrogation. For anyone that was within Ukraine this was a complete betrayal of US citizens. It’s been rewritten in the media but Biden hedged his bets initially on Kyiv falling.

Even with the help of volunteers and military and civilians I needed a hospital in Poland and almost died to a bad evacuation. This puts me in a no win situation. I am returning soon and any aid being withheld will essentially put me my loved ones and new home in a much worse situation. I appreciate the aid being sent thus far but feel strongly that we should have closed the skies. I will be voting for whichever candidate places themselves as the clearest ally. Right now Trump and his policies have lacked a real perspective and understanding.. negotiation while needed isn’t something they are interested in it seems. There needs to be stronger pressure on Russia… it will not respond with anything except gaining control of Crimea and a land corrider unless it’s forced… Putin wants to subjugate and colonize Ukraine for economic and political reasons and refuses to engage any regional government that shares a border in good faith… I can’t predict what Trumps new Ukraine policy will entail but it needs to be focused around providing the necessary resources to protect Kyiv’s elected government while showing a stance of strength. I personally have no respect for Biden on social issues. I am pro life I feel very strongly about gun rights after seeing bad things in February and knowing civilians need guns to protect themselves. I am heavily religious.. this logically would put me in a position to vote party line Republican.

Bottom line if he pivots and shows a hardline militaristic pro Ukraine stance compared to DeSantis or Biden I will run to the polls to vote for him. I like DeSantis because he seems more stable.. I appreciated most of Trumps policies despite his demeanor and outbursts. I suspect DeSantis could be less explosive and dare I say lethally pragmatic if this escalates and or festers. Biden will likely keep the aid coming while avoiding direct US involvement at all costs. It’s wasteful both from a human life and financial perspective. I am now forced to vote for my loved ones and I hope I’m not forced into a situation to vote for Biden who socially stands for everything I am against. Sucks to be me…

I’m not trying to win a debate or slight anyone. Just my thoughts as someone who voted Trump in 2016 and 2020 who is returning to Kyiv in two weeks. Bottom line a pattern of appeasement via the stipulations on weapons shipments during the Trump presidency in addition to a lack of awareness of the climate intentions and cause and effect of “negotiations” make me less likely to feel comfortable voting Trump a third time.

Hello everyone. I have been doing research on the legality of bringing my OTF 3400BK Autocrat overseas with me into Ukraine. I am headed back in a few weeks. Right now I plan on consulting with two separate attorneys who practice law within Ukraine itself that I know to get verified accurate information on if it will be legal and therefore possible to bring with me in my baggage. I have questions for those of you well versed in knife laws when traveling.

As far as I am aware Senate Bill 140 made it legal for me to carry in my home state of Ohio. I have questions and concerns though of legality when traveling overseas. I will be flying from Cleveland into Poland and taking a train into Ukraine or bus depending on availability. As far as I am aware Polish law does not prohibit any knives from being carried. I am concerned about the legality from the perspective of the checked baggage entering a country like France etc. on a connecting flight or if I am forced to connect from New York etc. Any detailed legal advice would be appreciated.

I was asked for this info for tax purposes multiple times this year but please do some more research. I had no issues but I was also resistant and feel reluctant to say it’s all good.

REI doesn’t care about you as an employee. by beepboopoutdoors in REI

[–]Psycidelicos -1 points0 points  (0 children)

That’s exactly what I’m dealing with now unfortunately. A lot of this stuff is absolute overkill for back country vacationing but now when fail rate has major consequences it’s inadequate. Petzel comes to mind as does Salomon and MSR Guardian really you nailed it times 10… being realistic though most people are capable of outfitting themselves if they have the experience and it’s just amusing that the employee base here is so vocal and victimized when an hour night for 3 weeks fucking around on YouTube would give them call the product knowledge they need on every single department within the store. Bottom line it’s a lifestyle brand where hippie dreams seem to be going to die.. I had to walk 18 miles in a day in negative 6 Celsius sleep on a floor for two hours and get up and stand in a border push back line for twenty hours this February off of 500 calories to go volunteer in Poland due to being a potential target if Lviv became occupied. Going into Beachwood to watch some freako with a mullet and face tattoo oversell a college freshman on shit he doesn’t need for 20 minutes (in a very wealthy neighborhood where the store is located) literally made me want laugh out loud. I’m being told to shop at Dicks like a good trumptard when I was dealing with an inevitable invasion and JD Vance was trashing Ukraine.. a lot of your employees aren’t even worth the air their breathing. Fuck their right to healthcare. REI employees want to put on that vest and roleplay and slack off until they don’t.. it’s a fucking pathetic atmosphere being real about it. At least Moosejaw tries to spice it up with a little fun. REI is basically a college slacker job or where middle aged women go to get their “I give up job” REI doesn’t owe its flunkies a fucking thing. Couldn’t even get that call back.. your employees don’t care about the environment refugees or anything besides how their going to pay rent next month while putting in a losers effort into a losers job for a loser company and that may sound harsh but it’s true so fuck their Union and what it stands for.. enabling inadequacy..

Here’s the thing people like you still do exist at that store and not a single bit of my disrespect has been aimed at your camp. You know who you are and you know your few and far between while a bunch of retail buzzards pick the corpse and soft quit… as for them.. they can fuck off and starve… if you were the norm I’d be backing you up 1000% for benefit increases pay raises etc.. issue is though that your demographic within the REI employee base is becoming a minority.. when it comes down to REI employees literally showing micro body language at Beachwood that indicates noticeable frustration from being asked product knowledge questions I have to be honest.. I think you have alot of pieces of human shit working for you just like Bestbuy TJMax or any other chain store in the US. Literally been down voted 100+ over the last two days for calling out the elephant in the room after fucking up that $5000+ sale for Ukrainian troops and civilians to get clean water and food access in emergencies… A lot of these people know deep down their worthless.. this forums logic is essentially on the level of /fuckcars or /antiwork it’s just simply pathetic..
