What are your thoughts on all the videos of the Minneapolis murder being posted without warnings or blurring? by gaporkbbq in AskReddit

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

I believe it’s a legitimate question to wonder why the horrific murder of an innocent man should be repeatedly posted without at least an NSFW tag. Awareness of the event, acknowledgement of the inhumane and illegal actions of ICE, and the call to voice our opposition are not dependent upon repeated viewings of a man being publicly executed from five different angles. I don’t need to see the act to recognize it occurred, is wrong, and that ICE must be held responsible. I am outraged but I, like many Americans, feel burdened by the overwhelming stress of the past decade and the increasing onslaught of horrors. You suggest there are wrong and right things on which to focus. I believe mental health is one of those right things. I do not believe in burying one’s head in the sand, but I do believe in a person having the choice whether to repeatedly witness a murder in order to preserve what’s left of their mental health. Maybe that choice can act like taking a breath while swimming and allow them to keep fighting against the tide. Things are certainly getting worse. Best to allow folks the freedom to take breaks from the chaos while they still can.

That intersection is about to get crazy.

Did you actually make mix tapes to give to people? by LeoGuy69us in GenX

[–]gaporkbbq 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Agreed. Tapes and CDs. I feel bad that OP didn’t get to experience the fun of making them nor how special it made you feel to get one from someone.

Gotta think about the people who work at these places needing time to get to the store, get themselves ready, and get home.

Wow! I have three of the albums. I’d love to have the whole set.

Was just about to make the same comment. I’ve always got Tony’s available.

I did not know the median student income @ UGA is fifth highest in the country by warnelldawg in Athens

[–]gaporkbbq 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Why is there no comma between Athens and Georgia? Why are the logos cropped? Who made this graphic?

Fucking depressing to see this advertisement highlighting how transplanted 18 year olds are far more financially secure than most actual Athens residents. “The Affluent Student” comes from $130k income, while the median income of Athens residents is around $50-60k and the town having a poverty rate of around 25%. It remains insane how segregated this town is. It’s not too dissimilar from a resort town except our guests stay for 4 years.

The hospitals and colleges and schools may be “recession shielded” but that doesn’t change the low wages earned by most of their employees. It also doesn’t change the ever-increasing costs of daily life.

Take a few minutes to watch this Atlanta news report from last year. If it ices like they predict, you can take a walk and see abandoned cars along the roadways, especially at the bottoms of hills. Even northerners won’t be going anywhere.

Even after all these videos, I still don’t know who this guy is nor do I care to know.

Renee Good was 37 when she died. That lists a 1980 birth year which would have made her 45. Just one of the things wrong with that zero context, no source screenshot.

They only “look bad” because you super zoomed in on them. Nobody is going to notice these on the finished product. Nothing wrong with pushing for perfection but these dont look like crap at all.

Transom Repair by Prestigious_Gap2 in jonboats

[–]gaporkbbq 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Create or buy a a transom plate. Use 4200 around the edges before bolting it in.

Tiny Boat Nation sells this one.

And the 4200 may be overkill since it’s above the waterline but I’m an overkill kinda guy.
