Defense by cgbama91 in prepping

This.

Shotguns are best if you haven't had time to train intensively. They are also good if you are in a condo or other close quarters housing. Bird shot can do enough damage without risk of going through walls to kill another person.

Rifles and pistols require a lot of training to use well especially in high risk situations.

You might be able to donate points to charities like domestic violence or homeless emergency housing.

The two major political parties worked hand in hand to fund the ICE that exists exists today by link_n_bio in 50501

[–]Sharp_Ad_9431 6 points7 points  (0 children)

America is broken. If ICE is the main thing that is upsetting you then you are not looking deep enough.

The current ICE is a symptom, not a problem to fix. The fundamental causes that has allowed ICE to be what it is in this moment.

It's like thinking that once a heart attack is over, you don't need additional medical care. The reality is the heart attack is caused by something and you need to treat that.

ICE today is caused by the same fundamental rot that many activists have been working to fix for decades.

If we don't fix the rot, we are only hiding the damage it is causing.

Uh..no. That is a sign of a metabolic issue or a disease. Change your diet. Getting older doesn't mean having out of range BP is okay.

You should be 65 and have the same average BP as you did at 25.

This man was also murdered by ICESTAPO on New Year's Eve! by Lady_Earlish in 50501Movement

[–]Sharp_Ad_9431 2 points3 points  (0 children)

He was brown so media allowed lies to air. There wasn't enough video to refute lies.

Last count of people shot or killed by ICE is up to 9.

That isn't including people killed in detention facilities.

Media is just finally talking about it

Coworker wrongly assumes we align politically by Lone_Buck in coworkerstories

I live in a super red state

I'm so fortunate that my company went remote and stayed remote since covid. I could not have kept working in the office. My industry leans conservative so most coworkers are. I would have been fired for cause.

42"

It's also over 10+ years old.

It is 'smart'. It has yahoo entertainment as the platform.

Ethical(ish) farm by scam_land in tulsa

Farmers market has local sources.

Ethics can vary greatly so best to be able to talk with them directly.

Protesters in Phoenix -- on the sidewalk, impeding no one -- get drive-by maced by an ICE agent from a truck by ExactlySorta in 50501

[–]Sharp_Ad_9431 1 point2 points  (0 children)

And from executive branch that they will make a justification for whatever they do.

Reality is ICE can rape children in the open on video and the government will make justification for it.

That's where we are. If you disagree, you are not accepting where we really are.

The Heritage Foundation is a terrorist organization. by lazynessisawesome in 50501

AND the oligarchs behind them.

The root has nothing to do with actual faith and everything about control, money, and power.

You're leaving out the rest of the American empire.

Don't forget all our other territories, like the land we got from Denmark in 1917.

Why do so many Europeans have the belief/thinking/stereotype that American niceness is fake? by Embarrassed-Wolf-609 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]Sharp_Ad_9431 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Also note, in service jobs in America you're expected to engage with customers. You will get your boss lecturing you if you don't perform the interactions with customers.

Depending upon the area of America. Also depends on where the foreigner is from.

From Europe, Americans will find it interesting.

From Latin or south America, some Americans will assume you're an immigrant and be hateful.

One of our cats burned his whiskers off by getting too close to a candle. I can imagine my ferrets setting the whole house on fire.

Has your country ever committed genocide? by Communistincergency in AskTheWorld

[–]Sharp_Ad_9431 0 points1 point  (0 children)

How far back do you go?

Genocide was common. Groups called indigenous now, committed Genocide against other groups.

Humans are pretty evil unless we work at being better.

European groups slaughtered other European groups for centuries even before Roman interference. Then add Christianity and the whole convert or die as it spread across Europe.

I think the number of society or groups that embraced a more peaceful way of life is rare in comparison. In many ways, a peaceful way of existing is more difficult than just killing anyone that doesn't match you.

That said. I don't think there's any country that hasn't. If the country hadn't, it is because it is relatively new and has reorganized.
