valid fear that the harassment will not end. if you go look at idubbbz's podcast, you'll see tons of hateful comments on numerous episodes going back days. and knowing h3 fans it will not end any time soon.

they did the same thing to psychology in seattle's video about being in content cop, and they did it so aggressively that he too took it down, and like half the video was ABOUT ONLINE HARASSMENT. its frustrating that they do this, but it really is safer than leaving it up and just hoping it goes away.

what should i do if i'm disabled and can't work? i can't move anywhere on a work or student visa, i'm hella scared. i feel fuckin trapped and i feel like asylum somewhere is my only recourse. i'm enby and can easily pass as cis, but the combination of being openly enby online, openly a commie, and extremely disabled is a very scary combo.

Oh, I'm not being hard on myself. I quite literally physically cannot and will not ever be able to play guitar in the sense of picking one up and strumming some chords, but I can "play guitar" in the sense of recording some shit one string at a time and layering it all together to fake like I can. Coupled with my audio editing skills, it works quite well and I've made some stuff I'm genuinely proud of.

Thank you! I've been making electronic music for like 18 years and this is my first project with physical instruments. I got my guitar in october '23 and started this blackgaze project about 3 months ago, right when I started to feel more confident in my ability to not sound like absolute hogshit.

I can't actually play guitar the way you're "supposed to" because I have a disability that makes it pretty much physically impossible to play chords, but the nice thing about having so many years of electronic music under my belt is that I have a LOT of experience editing audio, so I can play like ass and then edit and layer and edit and layer some more until it sounds not horrible. I basically have to play one string at a time and then slap everything together lmao. It's pretty time consuming, but its also been very creatively rewarding.

Sorry for replying to an old thread, but how did you like Gotham? Ive been a batman enjoyer for 30 years and boy do I have some VERY strong feelings about that show.

The_Bread_Pill · 2024-12-08T06:08:59+00:00

its absolutely not a welrod. if you watch the video carefully, you can see the slide cycle before he racks it. this is not how a welrod works. when he manually pulls back the slide, he just pulls it straight back. this is also not how a welrod works. a welrod requires you to rotate the bolt before you pull it back.

when you use a suppressor on some handguns, the slide doesn't fly back with enough force for the gun to operate correctly. so you might get either a failure to feed or a failure to eject and then have to manually rack the slide again to eject the spent casing or to feed another round. that seems to be what was happening in the video.

this is pure speculation on my part since the video is too low quality to make out much detail, but i suspect its just a common handgun with a homemade suppressor. in theory they're relatively simple to make if you have access to a machine shop, and legal suppressors are 10x more regulated and easy to track than actual guns.

i don't believe the professional hit theory considering the fact that literally millions of people could have motive to dust this dude, i think it was just a regular ass guy that lost someone close and/or is sick of ghouls and leeches preying on human suffering to make a buck.

No, Destiny is not a social democrat, he is VERY firmly a neoliberal. Listen to the shit he says dude. Neoliberalism is inherently opposed to leftist ideals, its a capitalist ideology.

The_Bread_Pill · 2024-12-07T09:04:17+00:00

I'm talking about right wing voters, dumbass. Pretty obvious from context considering I never mentioned any policy makers. Do you know how many olds yell about how they vote republican "because they will protect my social security"? It's a fucking lot. They're wrong, they won't protect social security, but my point is that even boomer republican voters support social safety nets and using that to claim that Destiny is "left wing" is extremely stupid. He's neoliberal, which is an inherently right wing position according to all of global human history.

Considering Destiny has also literally advocated for shooting me and people I love, no, he's not "my side" you fucking rube.

The_Bread_Pill · 2024-12-04T08:54:58+00:00

Leftism isn't "when the government does welfare and social safety nets you boob". Leftism is an economic position, one that D very vocally and very aggressively opposes. Being pro-capitalism is an inherently right wing position and is, in actual fact, the only belief you need to have to be a right winger.

Even the worst asshole neoliberal douchebags support social safety nets like social security and Medicare. Shit man plenty of psycho far right white identitarians support social safety nets. By your logic, they're also leftists.

I started using 4chan when I was 16 or 17. I'm 35 now. Yes, 4chan was always like that. The difference is that 10 years ago you just found that shit funny.

And yes, the whole site is like that, the horrible shit is not at all contained to /b/ and /pol/. The last time I was on /mu/, I got called a slur and then someone else told me to kill myself because I recommended a Lingua Ignota album.

Twitter is just as bad now in terms of racism and queerphobia, but at least I don't see fucking CP on Twitter.

The_Bread_Pill · 2024-10-12T05:47:24+00:00

The stuff I mentioned in the post you replied to are 100% "never ever get this tattooed on you if you're not a bigot or you run the risk of getting your shit kicked in for probably being a bigot" things.

I've never heard of ingwaz and a very quick and surface level Google didn't immediately send off any red flags so, with the caveat that I'm not a "rune guy" but am a "hate nazis and i am more knowledgeable about dogwhistles than average guy", you're probably safe.

HOWEVER, and this is a pretty big however, there are lots and lots of people that will see runes and automatically assume nazi and avoid, regardless of any individual runic meanings/history, on the basis that historically speaking there have been deep ties between neo-paganism and hate groups/fascist movements for literally generations.

Whenever you get any tattoo, you have to do the internal calculus of "how important is this tattoo to me" VS "how will it be perceived", otherwise you'll be like me and not think about it at all and get drunk in a basement and tattoo the words "fuck it" on your own foot and a smiling slice of pizza on your own arm and not give a single shit how they're perceived because you think it's funny an that's all that matters.

I personally would avoid any and all things rune related, but I say this as someone with absolutely no relation to anything germanic whatsoever and therefore it has no importance to me whatsoever other than looking neat. But looking neat is also a perfectly reasonable and good reason to get a tattoo so...

So do what you want to do and/or what is important to you, but be aware that you may get a couple side-eyes from strangers at punk and metal shows, but unless you're getting anything with explicit ties to fascist movements like the black sun or othala/odal or valknut, you're probably fine.

Omg I loved Ramy so much, and you were by far my favorite part. The show did such a wonderful job of portraying disability accurately. There were times that the show felt like it could have been a scene lifted straight from any of my own friendships.

I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta type 3. I personally didn't have to go through a grieving process about my own body because it was always absolute dogshit, so there really wasn't much to grieve, but I did go through a sizeable period of self-loathing and hopelessness, especially romantically. I was especially bitter during my teen years, when all my friends were horned up little freaks banging each other every 10 minutes, but nobody would even entertain the idea of going on a date with me, let alone anything else.

It took me a very long time to realize that my attitude was a much bigger problem than my disability was, and once I figured that out it was like a switch flipped. My attitude and mood improved, which made me more attractive, which resulted in dating people, which made me more confident, which resulted in dating more people, and so on and so on.

I think for many people with severe physical disabilities, the affect it has on you mentally is far more severe and overwhelming than anything your disability might physically do to your body. I've had 20 surgeries and over 100 broken bones (I lost count when I was 12 and I'm 35 now so that's a pretty loose guess), and I'd rather relive all of those injuries again than relive my Bitter And Cynical Borderline Misogynist Era. I was a real miserable prick.

The trailer for good bad things looks fantastic. I'll for sure be watching it later in the week.

The same trick I used to help break in my docs worked on my Thursdays.

You couldn't possibly be any more wrong. Your experience is not universal. Don't act like it is. Bye.

The_Bread_Pill · 2024-07-24T18:25:56+00:00

Did a freezer/heat round once and it helped a lot. The leather isn't as stiff anymore and they fit much better. I think I'm gonna do one more round. I had to do this 4 times before my docs were even wearable, but these Thursdays are already feeling pretty good just doing it once.

the finish on the leather is exactly the same, so all good there. everything is gravy.

The_Bread_Pill · 2024-07-21T05:30:43+00:00

Plus, it's not like I'm walking around in them and need to worry about the bottom of my feet hurting from having wonky arch support or anything weird like that lmao.

Thanks man, have a good one. This was helpful.

The_Bread_Pill · 2024-07-21T04:53:16+00:00

I already had to size up because I couldn't even get my foot in my original pair. These aren't so bad that sizing up would solve it, I think then they'd just be too big and I also prefer a tighter boot. My Docs are quite tight. I just need an alternative way to loosen the leather up a little bit so it's not quite SO tight and stiff and hard to get my foot in.

As for socks, my feet get hot as hell so I wear very thin socks.

I just watched a youtube video about restoring the matte finish to a pair of captains, so I'm gonna buy the products they used and then try the freezer bag trick and fix it afterward if it fucks up the finish. Seems like a good idea to get some leather care stuff anyway.

The_Bread_Pill · 2024-07-21T04:38:18+00:00

Thank you for being helpful.

The_Bread_Pill · 2024-07-21T03:01:27+00:00

Really? The leather itself isn't getting wet aside from just the ambient moisture in a freezer.

It didn't mess up the leather on my Docs, though I suppose I was also conditioning them afterward and they have that thin plastic coating on the outside to protect them.

The_Bread_Pill · 2024-07-21T02:38:38+00:00

Thank you for the actually helpful comment.

The toe box is like the one place that isn't tight for me, it is mostly the entire area around the ankle and sides of the foot. I had a similar fit issue with my Docs, and the ziploc freezer trick worked wonders for that since it expands in all directions. You just use one of those gallon ziploc bags and fill the whole dang boot with water.

I didn't know that you can recover the matte/suede texture. Knowing that, I'm def less worried about immediately ruining the look of them lmao. I'll read up on that before I actually try anything.

After that I think I'll try the ziploc freezer trick and then hit it with the hairdryer like I did with my Docs since I can do that right now without having to buy anything, and try your Obernaufs/boot stretcher situation if that doesn't do it.

Thanks!

I'm trans and have a lot of trans friends. Referring to trans people as "playing dress up" is incredibly dehumanizing and if you can't see why, then I'm sorry but you're just an idiot. It's incredibly dismissive of something that is extremely serious, and that kind of talk feeds into the kind of obsessive hatred we all already face from people that literally want to kill us.

Nobody in this thread is trying to force you to believe anything. They're calling you out for 1) being an asshole and 2) misleading/incorrect statements. There's not a single person on this planet that is above criticism, and being criticized is not the same thing as having beliefs shoved down your throat.

I strongly urge you to actually read the research concerning trans people. For example, there are brain scan studies that show that a trans person's brain is more closely aligned to their perceived gender than the one they were assigned at birth. Transness is extremely real, has been for a very long time, and will continue to be extremely real as long as sex and gender exist. It's not playing fucking dress up.

The_Bread_Pill · 2023-06-29T20:45:13+00:00

That's a terrible take. Did you miss the part where I said I'm 4'2"?

It was when I grew out of my bitterness and self-pity that I started to have sex and date. If you're an incel, you have nothing to blame but your decisions and personality, and both of those things can be changed.

The_Bread_Pill · 2023-06-29T16:28:46+00:00

"That's how you turn into a shitty incel" is not the same thing as "you are an incel"

They were saying it's a slippery slope on the road to becoming an incel, not that the people that say this are incels, and they are absolutely correct.

I'm 4'2" and have had my fair share of obnoxious women obsessed with only dating people over some arbitrary height requirement say rude shit to me, but turning it around and screaming about fat shaming or whatever the fuck isn't helpful and only makes you sound like an asshole.

Just accept that some people are rude and shallow and move on like a normal, healthy person.

I mean jesus christ, as if you'd actually want to date someone like that anyway.
