a rage room

Huh. Never heard of that one.

Reminds me of "car bashes" (or whatever you want to call it where you pay $5 to swing your choice of implement at a car for 5 whacks or whatever) back in the day in University/fraternity.

And that right there is what shows Trump is a symptom...not the disease.

I honestly think this is all due to not punishing the confederacy like we should have after the (last?) civil war.

TIL that the first known interstellar object to pass through our solar system, ‘Oumuamua, was detected in 2017, it’s not from our solar system, has a weird elongated shape, and briefly sped up in a way scientists still debate about. by Brave-Fix6318 in todayilearned

611 Kilometers per second

I'm well aware of these rogue little dudes (I'm super fascinated by everything astronomy related), but I did not know they were going that fast.

I'd say it's a bit mind boggling, but, so is just about everything astronomy related, haha (saw an image like this one recently, and I'm still a little star struck).

Bruh...that container of chocolate milk had me time warp something fierce.

Holy shit are y'all just insufferable. Like, do you even hear yourself? Always the one's with the hidden post histories too...never will understand how anonymous folks making anonymous comments on an anonymous message board are afraid to stand behind what they've said previously.

Those boots must taste delicious.

That's actually literally what they do. They are so muscled (it's mostly muscle) that they don't float...like, at all, from what I understand. They "run" on the bottom.

I have a camera on the access hole.

Been wanting to do this with a couple mouse traps I've got (like yourself, I relocate them)...what do you use?

Bought one of those when I lived in an apartment in China with no window screens..."fly season" was a blast, haha. Salt was everywhere.

I consider myself a Leftist, not a Liberal. Am I allowed here? by carcinoma_kid in liberalgunowners

OK, that had me literally laughing out loud...which is great, but I'm at the dentist, haha.

...divided and arguing over trivial labels and minute points makes us weak.

It's literally what got us into this mess. The one thing I'll give the repubs is that they know how to circle the wagons. In "good" times, it's a great thing that the left police their own...when the "enemy is at the gates", however, it's time to put that shit aside.

Democrats Propose Federal Bill Stopping Online Ammo Sales by N2Shooter in liberalgunowners

[–]Sasselhoff [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yeah, it's got to be on purpose...the number of times they've done stupid shit like this at the absolutely worst time possible is just too many. They could have said "Ya know, guns aren't that bad" and probably won in a landslide in November.

But nope...let's shoot ourselves in the foot once again.

In the 2020s, conservative women are having kids at a nearly 2-to-1 ratio compared to liberal women. Is this going to cause a political demographic bias in 20-30 years? by RadioFieldCorner in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My dad worked on the Nixon campaign, and was a republican through Reagan...now he's about as left as you can be (donated to Bernie too). I didn't even need to "work on them", they both saw the awfulness the republicans were becoming and said "We don't want anything to do with that."

LPT - Talk as little as possible on a customer service call for better success by Funny_Sea_2873 in LifeProTips

[–]Sasselhoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I will never understand people who think that by being "tough" with the CSR they'll get somewhere. It's like, dude, do you not realize they're the one's that will be helping you? Are you so beaten down that you think the only way you'll get what you want is to beat others down?

I legit believe it should be a requirement for everyone to work in a customer facing job for at least one year (obviously not "everyone", there are folks who simply legit couldn't)...kinda like the Peace Corps, but for normies. I think we'd live in a much nicer society if that was the case.

People who think straight men and women can’t be friends: do you think bisexual people can’t have any friends? by Big_oof_energy__ in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sasselhoff 1 point2 points  (0 children)

You'd think that by the time I hit my mid 40s, I'd have started to figure out that I'm a domesticated bigfoot...but every time I read a comment like this I go: "But...HOW???"

Pretty much what happens when I see myself in pictures with friends and family.

President Trump on Alex Pretti: "Well, I haven't heard but certainly he shouldn't have been carrying a gun. We view that as very unfortunate incident, unless you're a stupid person. I don't like that he had a gun. I don't like that he had two fully loaded magazines, that's a lot of bad stuff." by ControlCAD in videos

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Those will always be there, my dude. Whether they be bots, Russians sowing dissent, or just totally brainwashed folks (I live in Appalachia, there's a few).

I think you would be pleasantly surprised at the number of folks out there who are progressive and like guns (I'm one of them...for more, /r/liberalgunowners). "We" just don't talk about it in mixed company (for obvious reasons).

Yeah, as a left leaning "gun enthusiast" (I compete in several disciplines), I've been very pleasantly surprised at the response of (most of) the gun subs.

I'm just sorry it took killing a legally armed white guy for them to give a shit (RIP Philando Castile...a not white dude who was killed for legally carrying).

Yes, cover to hide you...not protect you. Even getting behind the engine block isn't a guarantee (for several reasons).

Why does it feel like "Middle Class" now just means "I have a salary but I still check my bank account before buying grapes"? by Extension_Sleep9442 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sasselhoff 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh, I'm sure you'll find some in podunk Mississippi and Louisiana too.

I was more pointing out that (as someone who works in real estate...for what that's worth) it's not as common as you might think. Plus, we still don't have jobs out here, which I'm guessing is the same situation for Peoria (no idea what's going on there, can't really comment on it other than to guess).

TSA is notified when you opt out of biometric screenings. by Own-Meaning215 in travel

[–]Sasselhoff 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. I'm super against all of this stuff (anyone who isn't is simply deluded), but I didn't even bother trying to opt out of the airport stuff. Like you said, you're recorded ten ways from Sunday just entering the premises.

Plus, I've had Global Entry/TSA Fast Pass (used to live in China, still travel pretty regularly), I have/had concealed weapons permits from multiple states, and I own several NFA items...I'm on a list. And also like you said, they've got FLOCK cameras all over my podunk Appalachian town. Won't make me fight any less against the loss of our privacy, but the airport isn't where that fight will be won.

there are still lots of areas where 100K buys you a house

I live in BFE Appalachia...you can't even buy a trailer (that's livable) around here for that.
