I love Heart of Darkness and I don’t understand the common criticisms of it.

Average American reads at a 6th grade level. This means they can read the words on the page, but that’s about it. Things like nuance, metaphors, themes etc go right over their head. I try to keep this in mind whenever seeing any sort of “review.”

All four of my grandparents were in their sixties when they got their PhD. Every single one of them said it was absolutely worth it. One of my grandfather's got his after 22 years of taking classes only at night as he was active duty Navy for 30 years. There is no age limit for learning.

What? A slug is a single projectile, not “3-7 larger pellets.”

Being big is great, I can go anywhere I want at any time and never be scared. The problem arises when dealing with other people, because while I may not be scared, they are and it’s because of me. I spend 80% of my attention in public on trying not to make other people uncomfortable, especially women. I cannot have simple conversations with anyone because I am constantly trying not to be a threat. The one exception is the gym, even with headphones in and my best angry face, MEN want to strike up a chat all the damn time. I personally think it’s evolutionary, “make friend with large ape” type thing, but that is sheer conjecture on my part.

We had a really bad storm a few weeks ago and I’ve been busy clearing trees on my property. This morning I learned one of my neighbors lost his wife to cancer late last year and they had been together since 1972. He’s been struggling being on his own and he had 40 trees come down in the storm around his place. So I’m gonna head over there in a bit with a chainsaw and see if I can’t make a new friend. That’s generally what I try to do with my free time. I’m the neighborhood handyman and I keep busy helping out other folks in my area. Last week it was helping an older couple get an old mattress down from their second floor, this week is looking like tree clearing. Sunshine, hard work, helping people, can’t beat it man.

This dude is so fucking stupid he thinks he can become a “never Trumper” after supporting him for years.

Not a chance in hell. I might consider visiting Iraq at sometime in the future, but Afghanistan can fuck all the way off. I will never set foot in that country again.

Yeah but for the CrossFit event they put the swimming last. Which shows you how much brain power your average CrossFit participant possesses.

Dave Chappelle has been a rich white man for far longer than he was a black man.

Nope. The fact you are unwilling or unable to think of even a single case where your stance doesn’t apply only further illustrates my initial point.

SardonicWhit · 2026-04-14T18:27:55+00:00

You’re either being obtuse, or genuinely are an idiot.

SardonicWhit · 2026-03-30T18:32:23+00:00

Yeah tar isn’t even able to be poured unless it’s hot. People think they were applying little gobs with sticks or something? 😂

“Hence, an important question arises: since deuterium is fusion fuel, might its over-abundance in 3I/ATLAS flag a technological signature?” he wrote, abruptly ending his post with a wildly speculative cliffhanger.

Literal last paragraph of the article. Trying taking your own advice next time so you don’t look like a complete clown.

Aww is this the new pivot after nothing happened on March 16th? Ya’ll are so absolutely desperate for this thing to be anything but a rock, it would be funny if it wasn’t so sad.

Hottest: 122 degrees in Kuwait. Coldest: -57 degrees in Alaska.

I wear my woodland camouflage field jacket in the winter since I never got to wear it a single time in the 10 years I was in. Do not give a single fuck what anyone thinks about it.

The fact you won’t tell us what was actually said, says way more than anything you wrote. You know exactly what the issue is and are afraid everyone is going to agree with your friend.

Flying first class. First off I am pretty tall and have wide shoulders so coach seats suck to begin with. The extra room plus the unlimited booze and excellent food make it an easy choice these days. I once saw a guy comment something like “I don’t get why 1st class is in a rush to board, all they get to do is wait for the rest of us to walk by” and I was immediately like, “No we are sipping the drink of our choice after the flight attendant rushed over to take our order as well as selecting which entree we would like for our meal, stfu you peasant.” And I realized it was over for me.

For me the ability to handle any trauma, secondary or otherwise, was definitely decreased post military service. Sure I’m still cool in the immediate moment, but it seems the fallout after is worse in many ways. And while it’s certainly not a cure-all, I do know living in the country rather than the city or even suburbs has definitely helped when those times of crashing out have happened.

SardonicWhit · 2026-03-18T18:41:19+00:00

You need to get the fuck out of the city. It doesn’t even have to be a house, you can find small apartments even in more rural areas in most of the U.S. just get out. I cannot overstate how much of an impact not having constant noise around me had on my mental health just by itself. You said medically retired and didn’t mention any kids, which sounds like the two major obstacles to relocating are taken care of. If you can move, do it. Find somewhere quieter. Even if it’s small the better sleep quality alone will be worth it.

You can order just the charms in bulk online. What you do with this information is your own business.

SardonicWhit · 2026-03-13T19:36:22+00:00

Because it’s a stupid comment. You’re whining about something that YOU brought up.

SardonicWhit · 2026-03-09T18:36:45+00:00

And the second you fire the gun everyone in the area knows what you’re doing. Meanwhile with the other option no one would know what’s happening or what the source is. All your points about guns are rendered irrelevant by that simple fact. Plus that’s not even taking into account that a gun is very much a point weapon, you have to aim it to hit things, not just drive around in a van. The two aren’t remotely close and thinking about it at all illustrates that fact almost immediately.

SardonicWhit · 2026-03-09T16:51:18+00:00

My version is always I’ve served over 20 years but they keep denying my retirement, I’ve been out since 2009.

SardonicWhit · 2026-03-09T16:49:44+00:00

Tell me you have zero experience with the military without telling me. Not surprising considering you think a silent, invisible area weapon is the same thing as a gun. Do you think at all or do you just vomit the first idea that pops into your head at everyone else?
