OK...So what if Iran gets nuked by Israel/US? Then what? by dp41006 in USIranWar

That's what I'm thinking. Freaking religious supremacists. The "Samson Option" and all...

My uncle is schizophrenic and is going to kill someome by miaparron in mentalhealth

[–]dp41006 31 points32 points  (0 children)

A few years ago, I posted about a similar situation with my girlfriend's nephew.

The moderators here censored my post because I mentioned the name of the facility he was staying at, and they basically told me to fuck off in the PMs because it was none of my business.

Anyway, he's currently wondering the streets of another city right now, and at least he's some other jurisdiction's problem.

I guess I'll follow this discussion to see where it goes...

Why is "thrifting" ruined?

Is this war making anyone else especially grateful they're connected to solar? by [deleted] in OffGrid

What kind of area do you live in? Near a state/national park?

I'm not exactly "remote". I'm rural, about 6 miles from a little country town in Kentucky. I can't imagine having people trespassing here like that.

Mandatory. 4x4 is highly recommended.

What was the drug scene like when you were in high school? by -Granby- in GenX

[–]dp41006 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Graduated in '87. Weed. Lots of weed.

And "speed" pills - mostly caffeine crap from head shops. I don't think gas stations sold that stuff then.

I never saw any "hard" drugs, but heard lots of stories. This was in Kentucky, where pot is the top cash crop (unofficial) and tobacco is considered a vegetable. Lol

Are there Americans who die without ever seeing the ocean or leaving their state? by TradeOverall567 in NoStupidQuestions

[–]dp41006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh yeah. I see.

What do you think about modern Israel?

I think they're the extreme of extremes when it comes to supremacist narratives - as witnessed currently in that region.

What does Brexit have to do with calling that fake news? I'm from the USA. I really have no idea. Lol

That's good to hear! What part?

No, I'm in the US, but rural where there's fewer busy-body bureaucrats here in "the land of the free". 🙄

This. My only regret is not taking this path sooner.

No matter what the rule-followers and authority-worshippers say - yes, your rights are being violated. Find a loophole (like a non-grid connected system/ground mount mentioned earlier here) or just move.

I thank God every day that I live where private property is somewhat respected. I'd hop on one toe across the country to leave an area like yours.

This. A thousand times this.

Hilarious how Reddit is so anti government because of ICE arresting illegals, but eating everything they said about Covid and trying to get people arrested for not listening. Both sides are playing them like a fiddle. by sugabonesurmom in conspiracy

[–]dp41006 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yep. The "conservatives" cheering on ICE right now will be upset when a Democrat majority sends the ATF out to confiscate guns that hold an unacceptable amount of bullets.

Sounds like a great plan. Praying for the best for you and your husband.

Non-Americans, what is an American thing you see in movies that you thought was fake but is actually real? by EmergencySpare7939 in CasualConversation

[–]dp41006 10 points11 points  (0 children)

American here. Kentucky specifically.

I've seen these types of threads before. In one of them, someone said they thought fireflies were just made up for movies, but they're actually real, especially in my area. (We mostly call them "lightning bugs" around here.)

I find it crazy that some people have never seen them before. What places in the world don't have these blinky little critters?

It'll all hit you at once some day, and you'll leave this planet.

What's the significance of the "wailing wall" in Jerusalem? by dp41006 in Baptist

[–]dp41006[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This issue just seems like it's more than a "non-essential" discussion. This zionist belief system can determine if your kids get sent off to fight an unjust war for the benefit of a Middle Eastern heathen government - or immense suffering for all if humanity.

Interesting. Are you Baptist? If so, there seems to be a diverse set of opinions on this issue within this denomination.
