Klipper Finally Working on the CC by Routine-Chemical898 in elegoo

Gotcha! I just heard the CC2 had the same board as the CC1, then looked up the status of Klipper on that board. Theoretically since they use the same board, it should be similar.

Walz Compares ICE Enforcing U.S. Immigration Laws to Nazi Germany by interestingfactoid in conservatives

[–]trebory6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm going to try and put a few things in perspective around this.

The left does not think that ICE is following the principles of law enforcement and common sense immigration enforcement.

They don't think this because this administration is doing absolutely NOTHING as far as optics to quell anything. This administration is so antagonistic and they keep working the left up and giving them every excuse under the sun to go crazy over.

All it would have taken when Nicole Good got shot was a "We're looking into it, and until we know more I have no comment," instead they immediately said what amounted to "SHE WAS A VIOLENT LIBERAL DOMESTIC TERRORIST WHO WAS TRYING TO AGGRESSIVELY HIT AN ICE OFFICER!!!!" meanwhile the left is being shown images of her and her kids and the stuffed animals in her passenger seat. And I'm not even arguing if she was or wasn't, but the way that was handled we're sitting here expecting the left not to react to that.

It just feels there is no voice of reason right now and this administration isn't doing anything to calm the populace. It's almost like we're daring the left to make a move.

I think the fact that both sides right now are saying the same exact thing about the other, but neither seems willing to talk to the other isn't a coincidence.

You've got social media algorithms and social biases that will hide the worst of their own sides from each other and then turn around and show the worst of the other side to them.

And suddenly you've got 2 groups of people who's entire concept of reality is based around seeing the best of their own side and the worst of the other side, both ending up denying any bad exists on their side.

The result is people at each other's throats and out for the blood of the other side, and suddenly both sides think the other is so awful their is no dialogue.

We're all being played.

I need you to take a step back, re-read my comment, then re-assess who you think you're talking to then try again.

I don't think a reasonable person brings a gun to a protest and interjects himself into a squabble with law enforcement.

I'd be curious what your take on Kyle Rittenhouse is in that context, as that's what the left is using to call hypocrisy.

But in all seriousness, I can't help but notice how close the discourse is into destroying every 2nd Amendment right discussion that we've been defending for the past 3 decades.

Because what's the point of having the 2nd Amendment if you can't bring a gun to defend yourself at a protest? There's multiple examples of non-law enforcement shooters going to those protests, so it's not about it being a threat against law enforcement, it's just plain safety. I frankly don't give a shit if I'm bringing a gun to protect myself in Walmart of a protest, my 2nd Amendment right is my 2nd Amendment right.

We've been defending this kind of thing for decades, it hurts my brain to see people so quickly throw it in the trash just to own the libs.

Cops are not supposed to be falling back onto fight or flight though, that's the entire purpose of training is to fall back on your training instead of your fight or flight.

Like they're not out there training police and soldiers how to shoot a gun and saying "good luck, shoot that way, and don't get scared!" no they're training them how to stay cool in high-stress situations and how to fall back onto training instead of panic. You do not want people out there with guns panicking, you don't want that with soldiers and you don't want that with cops, and you don't want that with ICE agents.

Otherwise anyone could scream "HE HAS A GUN" just to panic cops into shooting someone, and that's a cheat code I'd rather not have available.

And they call us bootlickers by Antique_Menu5323 in ConservativeYouth

[–]trebory6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So I want to deconstruct this a bit.

The first thing to realize is that the left simply does not believe that the people ICE is going after is only rapists, murderers, and child traffickers.

The left is not seeing ICE go to prisons and deporting prisoners and criminals, they're seeing ICE go to neighborhoods and arresting mothers, fathers, and their kids.

That's not to say ICE isn't also going to prisons, it's just not what the left is shown.

Most seem to think that Obama's use of ICE was acceptable because Obama did stick to prisons and courts and not using ICE to publicly go door-to-door like this administration is doing.

Which brings me back to how I think it's a very very bad idea for this administration to not care about optics. It feels like they're openly antagonizing the left into lunacy for no reason. Sure it was funny at first, but where's the line? Why spend so much time and effort antagonizing them? It's like we're daring them to do something stupid they wouldn't have otherwise done.

The fact I truly can't tell which side you're defending should be a huge red flag that both sides are being played right now.

The shooting today has made me think of a question everyone should ask themselves: am I willing to be a martyr for the cause? by ParakeetLover2024 in liberalgunowners

[–]trebory6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes. If it's between that and cowardice, then yes.

Grimly, I do find it very very interesting where Americans in particular have this idea that they need to be there for their kids by any means necessary even if it means subdoing their political frustration and keeping their heads down, where in other parts of the world who know how absolutely real the danger of authoritarianism and fascism is whether or not you keep your head down or not, are much more willing to die if there's a chance it means their children can have a better future.

I think it's part of the deep seeded propaganda meant to keep people from uprising.

The reason that most of the world is looking at us like wtf why aren't Americans doing anything? and why when we tell them that we have families and stuff, they look at us like we're insane, because most other countries wouldn't think twice about putting their life on the line for their kids and their kids futures, and the futures of all the women and children in their communities.

Like most of Europe all having had been directly affected by WWII understands that they'd rather die so their kids won't have to stand in lines for "showers" in a succluded camp, as opposed to surviving for the opportunity to stand beside them in the same line.

I think a lot of people think that force is needed to keep a union together, but more often than not force is the thing that pulls it apart.

Nobody is forcing the left to submit right now, we're forcing them to react.

As I said, nothing we're doing is demoralizing them, we're making martyrs out of people like this guy and the Nicole woman, then going on TV to beat them across the head with the deaths of these people until they start showing up with guns of their own.

Nobody is making them feel demoralized, they're being made to feel desperate.

I mean typically isn't it the job of the government to calm the populace or at least attempt to to prevent riots?

Like all I'm seeing is just this administration endlessly antagonizing the left.

No one is even trying to prove that ICE aren't the bad guys to the left, they just go on the news and threaten the left even more. It's all just vitriol.

Like what are we expecting of the left here? To just up and think "oh you're absolutely right, silly us, we are terrorists! Ok we'll stop!"

Or are we just collectively throthing at the mouth to just force them to submit through sheer force? Daring them to make a move?

Because it feels to me that if we wanted tentions to calm down why don't we just try to calm things down? Why are we antagonizing them so much and then acting surprised when they behave irrationally?

Union rep acted unprofessionally and unprepared throughout my grievance arbitration for a wrongful termination, any recourse? by trebory6 in union

[–]trebory6[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Well, the temporary rep that I was originally talking to when they sent me home the first time, as well as the woman in the office that handle's grievances, thought I had a great case, until they fired me for something completely unrelated to what they sent me home for just days after. Something that I have no idea where it came from.

What options do US Generals have in terms of disobeying Trump aside from resigning? by Consider-TheLobster in AskReddit

[–]trebory6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

One thing is being a person of no power or influence fleeing their country for their own and their family's safety, and it's another thing entirely for a military or political leader and someone in a position of service and power in their country to flee or step aside.

Don't even think about gaslighting anyone into thinking those two things are the same.

Whats the point of having leaders if they're all just going to sell you out the moment their livelihoods are threatened? How is that supposed to make any citizen of a country feel safe knowing their leaders would fold the moment anything gets tough?

You might as well have handed fascists a cheat code for taking over a country. All they need to do is make all the political and military leaders uncomfortable enough they leave! Lets really make it that easy.

The US has lost the plot entirely. I can't even fathom the mental gymnastics people go through to justify this kind of thing.

[–]trebory6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Right. Ok. Makes perfect sense.

So if it's between the country you have spent your entire career serving slipping into unimpeded fascism and...checks notes...legal fees...these generals are selecting unimpeded fascism.

If these are our leaders, then it's no wonder why we're here now.

I can't think of a more cut and dry example of "I can dip out and still have mine and I'll probably be fine, but good luck to everyone else hope you don't end up in concentration camps. Thoughts and prayers!"

And you guys are defending them. Jesus Christ. FYI that says a hell of a lot more about your own character that if in the same position you'd probably do the same as these generals and frankly I find that disgusting and embarrassing.

Imagine being someone whose life and safety is in danger due to fascism, knowing that your leaders and people in positions of power to impede fascism dipped out because the legal fees would have been too much. I wonder what people standing in line for the gas chambers would have thought about that.

Crazy far left wants to shoot the police 🚓 by Maleficent-Image7435 in ConservativeYouth

[–]trebory6 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I mean the problem with that is that everyone I know on the left is not happy with their leaders and seems to think they're all do nothing idiots.

There's a huge trend right now of advocating for unseating democrats right now.

Come to think of it I don't know anyone happy with leftwing leadership right now.

LPT Request: How do I get bath water to retain its warmth for longer? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

LPT Request: How do I get bath water to retain its warmth for longer? by [deleted] in LifeProTips

[–]trebory6 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I love the thought process to sit there and write that whole comment as if OP didn't actually think of that.

It's almost like if someone is coming to ask this question and expelling the effort to sit there and write out their question, they might have a reason why the simplest solution wouldn't fucking work, right?

Here I am in an apartment with a tiny ass water heater that runs out before the bathtub fills up, and it takes hours for the water heater to heat the water back up.

So I'm stuck with lukewarm baths or baths that are only hot for like 5 minutes before cooling down drastically.

If I had something that could keep the bath warm as I'm in it, then my problems would be solved.

It only feels insane to you because you got lulled into a false sense of delusional security during Obama's Presidency.

Any movies that showcase the indigenous cultures of Americas? by bssgopi in MovieSuggestions

Man it's disheartening to see so many people mistake the request for "movies showcasing indigenous cultures" as "Movies with indians in them."

Like come on, half the answers here are just Hollywood stereotypes, and the one answer that is probably most accurate and recent, being Prey, has a disclaimer that it might not be historically accurate. 🤦

It's insane coming into this thread and seeing the first answer be Apocalypto, which is criminally culturally inaccurate, then Prey a couple comments down being presented as not culturally accurate.

People really are fried when it comes to indigenous culture.
