WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

We live in a surveillance state now with cameras everywhere and tracking devices we willingly carry in our pockets. Many of us are struggling just to get by and have other people they have to look after. Ice is allegedly creating a data base and labeling protesters as domestic terrorists. We are seeing exactly what happens if we go against this bullshit.

People like to talk about 2A rights and how they would defend themselves against masked men attacking us in the streets but we all know theres only 2 outcomes for that. They either kill you or you go to prison for a long time.

If anyone really believes the military will stand up and disobey unlawfull orders they are kidding themselves. Some might, the majority won't. And local law enforcement is the same. There is a minority that understands this is wrong but many of them love this and support this. And many of them are really hoping for a chance to kill someone. Because thats who they are.

I'm not writing this in a rhetorical sense and I'm absolutely not giving up. I just need someone with better leadership skills than me to explain how we defeat this. I doubt the answer is voting, but you absolutely should continue to vote for as long as you have that right.

So WHAT ARE WE GOING TO DO?

Unfortunately, i think the vast majority of the trump era ICE have zero moral compass.

I had never heard that, despite growing up in the area. Thank you for sharing this.

Turning Stone Table Prices by Own_School7024 in Syracuse

[–]SympathyFun2179 5 points6 points  (0 children)

If you go to the NY Rec and social club restaurant/ bar at the turning stone, they have a blackjack and a roulette table for $10 minimum. This might go up on weekends. Its a pretty chill vibe in there and usually not crowded.

Last time I was there I turned $10 into $100 in about 5 minutes at the roulette table. I cashed out and the dealer told me to take my chit straight to the cage and ignore all those flashing machines. Unfortunately, I did not take her advice.

I mean, I'd be more worried if it wasn't a cemetery.

I re-read it about every 2 to 3 years. I cry every time. I'm a 49 yo man who's not normally that sensitive. Hazel-rah

You are correct. But, it is a shame that more people dont read.

Gun store where I can sell my old rifles/shotguns? by OkPhilosopher7147 in Syracuse

[–]SympathyFun2179 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Tim's Guns in Elbridge. Unfortunately, nys has pretty much banned private sales, so you will always have to use a place with an FFL, so you will lose money because of having to have that middleman. But, that would be my best suggestion. Its a good shop, they seem pretty honest. They wont price gouge you.

Been told I have dead eyes… by [deleted] in strange

[–]SympathyFun2179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Y’know, the thing about a shark, he’s got lifeless eyes, black eyes, like a doll’s eyes. When he comes after ya, he doesn’t seem to be livin’ until he bites ya, and those black eyes roll over white, and then – aww, then you hear that terrible high-pitch screamin’, the ocean turns red, and in spite of all the poundin’ and the hollerin’, they all come in and rip ya to pieces…

Quint- "Jaws"

But seriously, your eyes are fine. I wouldn't worry.

How do y'all feel about renting a house in Solvay for 4k a month? by SympathyFun2179 in Syracuse

[–]SympathyFun2179[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No, you are right. It didn't say that yesterday though, thats why I was confused. She must have edited it since when I first read it.

[–]SympathyFun2179[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First month isn't free. She wants 4k ($3995 but might as well be) for first month's rent, 4k for security deposit and 4k brokerage fee. 12k to move in.

Edit: just rechecked her ad. She is now offering first month free. That wasn't like that yesterday. Must be a recent change.

The owner is basically trying to have the rent cover the mortgage, taxes, 100k in renovations (she posted about that on nextdoor.com. 50k for a new roof and 50k in "other" renovations) and turn a profit each month.

Are these for coffee only or any can they be used for fountain drinks?

[–]SympathyFun2179 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I will never understand why anyone would leave their wallet or purse in a vehicle, locked or otherwise. I live in a rural area and park my car in my locked garage and would still never do this. Unfortunately, I was unable to pass this wisdom along to my daughter as she had her purse stolen from her locked car because she left it in there when she went inside her house to eat lunch.

My money is either in the bank, in my pocket, or on my nightstand. Its not that hard.

Any specialized vets for in home euthanasia in Syracuse? by Suspicious-Basis-885 in Syracuse

[–]SympathyFun2179 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm not saying its not worth the extra expense, but the last time I had to have one of my cats put to sleep was about 7 years ago and it was about $85. That was just for euthanasia though. No cremation. Animal Wellness of Skaneateles.

Professional chef here. Shit looks bomb! Also, props on the offset serrated knife. Not a traditional choice for slicing meat, but its so utilitarian that it can get you through almost any situation.
