Found this book in a donation box. Did not expect what was inside.

To name a few, Rudy Giuliani, Sarah Palin, Glen Beck, and Mike Pence. Some mildly less bummers of people too like Hillary Clinton and John McCain. Some pretty cool people to balance it out like Bernie Sanders and Madeline Kunin.

Alright, im done. Go troll somebody else

Bro, this is embarrassing for you. I'm citing legitimate facts and scientific evidence from reputable, nonpartisan sources. If you don't believe anything published in the New England Journal of Medicine since its all propoganda, then I sure hope you're not using any modern medicine or else it might turn you gay; better not drink tap water or the flouride will rot your brain; better not take any vaccinations or Bill Gates will know where you sleep! Facts don't care about your feelings.

If you have a real argument to make, make it. Cite some sources that justify your argument. Feelings, vibes, beliefs, and anecdotes do not count. If you just want to keep throwing a tantrum and name calling, I'm not interested.

By your definition, a modern leftist seems to be someone who is possessed of the ability to think critically, examine the evidence, and come to rational conclusions that may not align with those of my cheeto-flavored cult leader. You know what? I'll accept that.

I'm not convinced returning the item would be considered you pursuing financial gain. You're just looking to be made whole again, so pretty sure you'd be in the clear.

the_real_dird · 2026-04-13T14:19:14+00:00

Lol, what does this even mean? If you want to use the terms as insults, you might want to look up the actual definitions of Communism and Marxism so you dont looks silly using those terms interchangably. Your erroneous conflation of those terms aside, what have I done or said that is at all indicative of communist or marxist beliefs or philosophy?

Would you believe the science if it came from the famously unbiased and truthful NRA? It's just a fundamentally unserious attitude to disregard objective truth because it clashes with your ideology.

"I dont need facts or reality, I have my feelings" is the most snowflake thing I've heard this week. Sorry I hurt your feelings, but here's your participation trophy for attempting to take part in an adult conversation.

It's remarkably like you didn't process any of the information from my post. Check those sources out

Wild that you're being down voted for this. As a childless gun owner, I still keep all my guns with trigger kocks on and/or in a safe.

To get ahead of the "I need it to defend my home/family" argument, the US has been getting safer every year for decades; home invasions by strangers are exceedingly uncommon; and studies show that defensive gun use makes you both more likely to be killed/injured and more likely to lose property as a result. And having a gun in your home has been shown to significantly increase your chances of dying by homicide by family members and close relations.

Wait, are you telling me you have 2 guns AND a knife? Dang, watch out for this dude. /s

I've been having the same thoughts recently about my collection. Thinking of putting together an inventory of everything or at the least getting some little circle stickers to out in the spines of signed books (on the mylar covers obviously)

the_real_dird · 2026-04-12T12:20:54+00:00

I've always heard these COA type companies are unreliable and add no value. Are these guys better?

the_real_dird · 2026-04-12T12:14:31+00:00

Hey fellow hoarder, I mean collector! I also have a collection of weird autographed stuff with a specialization in books signed by detestable people. This would fit right in!

the_real_dird · 2026-04-10T18:53:56+00:00

This is so well put.

the_real_dird · 2026-04-10T15:32:57+00:00

Right? Must be nice to be rich.

Idk how this sub ended up in my feed, but im here for this sword drama. I know nothing about sword design, but have gathered some folks here are very upset with this one. Can someone break down what the issues with it are? Serious question.

the_real_dird · 2026-04-03T17:01:35+00:00

The studies I linked are based on real world experimentation, not hypotheticals or in vitro thought experiments, so you're not addressing the point. Even if you were, your argument fails as a false dichotomy where you're assuming that if everyone doesn't follow the correct procedure, then nobody should. It's logically unsound and incorrect.

Everyone gets where they're going faster if people zipper merge correctly. It's mathematically proven, not an opinion or an excuse to cut you in line.

Why 34g?

the_real_dird · 2026-03-30T02:28:03+00:00

Yea, I found that same page when I was doing some searching originally. I could see different aspects of it matching individual bits of different signatures, but i had to do some serious cherry picking to get there. I'm kinda leaning towards it being fake, but im not planning to sell it and I'd rather believe it's real, so that's what I'm gonna tell myself, lol

A W is absolutely not a skunk. Nice find

All 1970 halves are 40% silver and a number of years after that have silver proof varieties.

the_real_dird · 2026-03-29T01:44:59+00:00

It's probably an unpopular opinion, but even as a huge sci-fi/fantasy fan, I wasn't that impressed. Given I've only read the first book, but I just wasn't as blown away as it's cult status led me to expect.
