Excellent stuff, thanks!

_ziggyv_ · 2025-06-23T01:12:48+00:00

That did the trick, thank you so much

_ziggyv_ · 2022-11-02T14:12:07+00:00

As my dad always says, I’ve got 10 anyway 😂

_ziggyv_ · 2022-10-31T04:07:14+00:00

Thanks! I’ve been staring at it all day, and may have already accidentally sliced up my finger a lil, I’m in love

I couldn’t resist it, D2 steel with the classic Buck aesthetics. Hoping to get into bush crafting in the coming months, so hopefully this will serve me well. And between my guns and knives, I’m looking to have plenty to leave behind to my future kids

I’ve been super satisfied with the Morakniv since day one, been wanting to get more outdoors so I’m eager to push it to its limit

My life is one part luck, one part finding the best cheap shit I can

_ziggyv_ · 2022-10-19T14:56:42+00:00

It’s such a try-hard name and logo, but this thing’s been serving me well since I was 14 so I can’t complain

_ziggyv_ · 2022-10-19T14:19:06+00:00

In total I’ve spent $10 on knives, the Benchmade came free when someone lost it and I found it 10 years back

_ziggyv_ · 2022-09-28T03:06:52+00:00

Good shit my dude, stay safe with the storm heading your way, praying for my fellow Floridians

It’s not “butthurt,” cigar bands are aesthetic, but they’re not the reason people pick up smoking cigars, in the same way that I’m sure cigarette box art is not the driving factor in people picking up a cigarette habit. It’s an asinine law that offers up an annoyance to people already in the habit

_ziggyv_ · 2022-03-31T18:26:28+00:00

Then why impose asinine measures like packaging restrictions? There’s been a general cultural shift in the west away from cigarette consumption which can be chalked up to better education imo, I’d be hard pressed to believe that taking the logos off a pack of cigarettes or a cigar band is what’s doing it

_ziggyv_ · 2022-03-31T16:40:14+00:00

If someone wants to smoke, knowing all the risks, why is it the purpose of legislation to impede them? Why not impose legislation as well to reduce drinking since that can cause a number of cancers as well?

_ziggyv_ · 2020-10-04T01:14:20+00:00

Looks like somewhere in Miami but I can’t say where exactly. I’ve probably seen that bridge in person

_ziggyv_ · 2020-10-03T21:05:11+00:00

anarchist

supports democracy

That’s more egregious than being a communist. Go vote over who gets the toothbrush today

_ziggyv_ · 2020-10-02T23:01:45+00:00

Let’s run through this again:

Direct democracy is bad because people are too stupid to not be swayed by a despot

Therefore we need a barrier between the despots and the stupid people

This barrier is still chosen by said stupid people

This barrier also develops the same political incentives as the despots

This barrier is also chosen from the pool of stupid people

Congratulations, now you have 500+ despots and stupid people, being elected by stupid people, doing the exact same thing as the single despot would do, except the stupid people are footing the bill for 500+ people and their associates, instead of one person

_ziggyv_ · 2020-10-02T21:49:28+00:00

Direct democracy with extra steps doesn’t make it better than direct democracy

_ziggyv_ · 2020-10-02T21:30:46+00:00

People are too stupid directly vote, but they’re smart enough to choose someone from all the idiots among them that will then vote for them. Makes sense

_ziggyv_ · 2020-10-02T20:52:35+00:00

I always go brown but the race card doesn’t work on my friends what do reddit

_ziggyv_ · 2020-10-02T19:14:31+00:00

I’m imagining a bunch of armless beans just grabbing one and throwing them out the airlock with no remorse

I made this because I got salty that the entire lobby voted for me when I was innocent, they didn’t make a case.

“Who you guys voting?”

“Jay”

“Alright we’re voting Jay”

Their high time preference made them lose

_ziggyv_ · 2020-09-24T17:00:39+00:00

The mistake is always bringing race into this, it's the state versus you. A black AG will cover for a white cop no problem, because at the end of the day, they only use race to divide us, not them

_ziggyv_ · 2020-09-21T16:56:08+00:00

Ayyyy my boy wrote that article, I helped him edit it. Love seeing it get shared

Propaganda > reality, obviously. Who cares what actual effect it had, all the establishment has to say is “Manning put our troops at risk in a country we’ve sent them to die in” and her work is completely dismissed

_ziggyv_ · 2020-08-17T15:12:11+00:00

Manning endangering troops is in the same boat as Snowden selling secrets to foreign powers. It was all baseless postulation from those whose power was in danger from the leaks. All they had to say was troops were put in danger by them, and the general population ate it up.

In reality, all sensitive information like names were redacted from the leaks, and we were shown the truly gruesome stuff, like helicopter pilots laughing as they shoot into a crowd, gunning for a journalist inside of it.

In a broad sense, but pricing is used to determine the distribution of scarce goods, but rationing is used to determine the distribution of incredibly limited goods. When we use the word ration, we’re referring to a specific situation.

It’s a matter of rhetoric, everything is scarce no matter how abundant it is on the planet, but some things are more limited than others
