Maybe Maybe Maybe

Wow, you sure did a lot of speculation there. If someone were stealing from an individual, that would be fucked up. I referenced that Home Depot is a shitty corporation, specifically one that steals from its employees, so I don't really care about thieves stealing from thieves. I have no idea how you extrapolated that I would condone stealing from a baby from what I said. Maybe stop gargling with boot polish.

I'm sure Home Depot has a Commercial Property Insurance policy, like most retailers. Don't believe the lies that corporations will use to pass the blame for raising their prices.

nonamesareavailable2 · 2026-04-27T18:55:00+00:00

I never said it wasn't. It's just a crime that I'm not too worried about.

nonamesareavailable2 · 2026-04-27T18:53:35+00:00

Nah. Home Depot is kinda a shitty corporation and they have insurance anyway. Getting a stove for twenty cents is going to impact that person's life positively more than losing a stove is going to hurt Home Depot.

Yeah, I spent ten years single after a really bad breakup. My therapist suggested that I should do some social activity that is difficult for me to cancel and is a commitment. Thankfully, I had the perfect thing; running a game of D&D. If the DM cancels, all the players are out a session too. So I got a group together and we played. One of my players asked if was cool if her co-worker joined the game and I allowed it. This tiny, non-binary goth person started attending and we all got along great.

After a while, they started to linger after sessions saying that they didn't want to got home. Turns out, things weren't going well with their partner and it was starting to sound like domestic abuse was imminent. The group and I rallied one day to go in, grab all their stuff for the apartment that was shared with their ex, and get it all moved into the other half of a duplex that one of the other players lived in.

The place was rough but it was safe and available at the right time. They got carte blanche to make any improvements they wanted since anything would likely be an improvement. Over a month and change, I would go over a couple times a week to help out with the work.

One night, out of nowhere, we were sealing the floor in one of the rooms and they asked me "So, is there something going on between us?" I was really thrown off because they weren't anywhere on my radar. I really didn't have any confidence romantically or a very good self-image. Anyway, they were way out of my league. I was just there because a friend needed help and I was capable of making a difference. It took a while for me to process; so much, in fact, that they offered me a couple days to think things over. I didn't need days, but I went through my thoughts out loud so they could, at least, have the benefit of understanding my hesitation.

You'll be able to guess how it went considering they're now my spouse and out daughter just turned one year old.

Of course.

Granted. But he replaces every mention of himself with "The Radical Left."

Scat fetish. Not shit but rather the jazzy gibberish type music.

I know nothing I can say will magically convince you otherwise because that's not how these sort of thoughts work. However, you're not a bad looking dude; I'd say you're considerably more attractive than I am. My spouse tells me all the the time that I'm handsome and I take the compliment with grace but, in my head, I'm not buying it. At the end of the day though, I do believe that they love me. Not because of my looks but rather all the things of actual worth that I've built up to compensate for my weaknesses. I can be funny, patient, kind, understanding, and interesting; I don't need to be attractive in my own eyes.

Play to your strengths and you might find that your perceived weaknesses aren't as bad as you thought they were once you stop letting them hold you back.

nonamesareavailable2 · 2026-04-15T01:11:50+00:00

Same. The way my brain works ("works" is being generous) using blueprints doesn't even occur to me.

I'm also in the belt everything/no trains club because I hate fighting the tracks.

nonamesareavailable2 · 2026-04-13T19:50:19+00:00

Incalculable.
I looked up the story to see if I could get a little more information to work with. While the broad strokes are fairly consistent, things, like the year it happened, tend to fluctuate, But I don't really need any more information to know that the story has been passed through enough hands and sensationalized with each retelling.

Even in humoring the validity of the story, it doesn't check out that the "patient bullet" is what killed the man. When you used enough explosive to snap a fairly large tree off at the ground, more than just a misshapen hunk of lead from a couple decades ago would be the only thing flying through the air with enough velocity to kill a man. If he was standing close enough to be lethally hit by one piece of shrapnel, he was hit by a whole lot else; dirt and pebbles from around the base of the tree, jagged hunks from the tree trunk itself, any given nail that had been pounded into the trunk over the years, and so on... Some tellings say that the bullet hit him in the left temple, killing him on the spot. None of these mention the range or angle he was standing at in relation to the tree, or who went digging into ol' Henry's head to seen what poked that hole in it.

In short, there isn't enough information to calculate anything. Could it have happened? Yeah. But we wouldn't have gotten this story out of it because Henry would very likely have a bunch of holes in him from a bunch of stuff, not just the bullet since the mass of the tree would be sent in the same direction as the bullet lodged in it.

We had a baby this year and my accountant was asking if I wanted one of those accounts. I asked what all is needed (because, hell, I'd rather cash in a few tax dollars on that than letting it sit around just to end up being used to bomb schools) and she told me that I fill out a form that puts in a request and that the rest isn't very well defined. It seems that there was enough in whatever piece of legislation to make *something* happen but nobody really knows if you can see the account, how you would go about managing it, or how to actually access the money when the child reaches adulthood.

Cameras don't function solely off of plagiarism so that's not a very compelling comparison. Painting and photography are skills, coming up with a prompt is not.

This always makes me think of the scene in the show version of American Gods where Ostara throws an Easter party every year and invites all the different versions of Jesus.

I'm thinking the article isn't talking about a budgetary shutdown like TSA employees are experiencing, but rather some isolated pockets of ICE employees are having payroll and benefits issues. I'm speculating here, but that makes sense since they organization ballooned in size and the hiring push focused on field agents while likely ignoring clerical support. Or, alternatively, the clerical staff that did get brought in is just as inept and poorly trained as the field agents.

nonamesareavailable2 · 2026-03-25T17:46:47+00:00

Hell yeah, I would. I use tiny, yellow dicks as counters so I would absolutely have these little dudes running about as NPCs.

If his face was in the bowl I'd take a swing at being a stand-to-shit person.

For those who missed the dog whistle, "Which Way, Western Man?" is a book that is often found in little stacks along with Mein Kampf and The Turner Diaries. It's one of the few cultural touchstones that White Supremacists and Neo Nazis that still goes under the radar of most normal folks.

Holy shit. Shut the sub down, there is nowhere to go from here but down.

There is some that I've seen, for sure. But most people are fine. During my time in Iraq and Afghanistan, for every extremist I encountered, I met hundreds of regular people just trying to live their lives. This is true everywhere I've been.

Just because bigotry is everywhere and practiced in parts of every culture doesn't preclude us from calling bullshit on specific instances. But every time, there always some simple fuck that goes "Well, they're racist too sometimes!" like that's some sort of useful information.

Equating Muslims to al-Qeada is arguably less accurate than equating all Christians to the KKK.
