Yeah the 22LR is for fun for me not for defense. The 5.56 and 30-06 are quite expensive per shot by comparison so they’re shot less for fun and more for making sure I’m still skilled with them.

9mm Parabellum

I’ve never heard 9mm referred to as that (had to look it up to be sure) but yeah 9mm and 5.56 NATO rounds are great choices as they’re available basically anywhere here in the states. So is 30-06, 308, and 22LR.

Personally I’ve got guns that take 5.56, 30-06, and 22LR. The 22LR are consistently the cheapest ones to shoot and I usually buy them by the box of 500. Among my friend group the only deviation is those that have handguns, they’ve got guns that take 9mm and 38 special as well.

Remember folks: don’t just buy it, train with it.

And if you can get like minded friends to do the same even better.

Personally I’m not a fan of handguns, I prefer rifles but both are good at poking holes.

Also be sure to pick a firearm that takes a common type of round, the last thing you need to worry about is trying to find some obscure round type when you need it.

Born too late to die in war over oil, born too early to die in war over oil, born just in time to die in war over oil.

Those “Private Not for Commerce” plate make me laugh every time I see them. I work in freight and every time someone shows up with those to pick up their freight I can’t give them their freight due to DOT.

They also almost always don’t have a valid license of any kind as well, which means that even if they did show up in a valid vehicle I can’t release it because I can’t confirm the identity of whose picking it up.

I’m paid by the hour so I have a right proper giggle every time explaining it to them.

asymptomatic long-COVID

The hell even is that? Asymptomatic means no symptoms. Long-COVID isn’t a contagious thing, it’s literally a description of the symptoms you have from having COVID and the long term effects.

God that makes my freaking blood boil.

Damn @[email protected] that was a hell of a conversation you we having.

I support the elimination of copyright in it’s current form

The way it was initially was fine IMO: 14 years, with an option to renew it at the end of those 14 years. ONCE.

Now in terms of patenting medications, if it was partially paid for with public money it’s the public’s patent. In other words it’s open for everyone. Made a new medication but took a government grant to help fund it? It’s public when it comes out, enjoy a nice hearty reward check for your efforts.

30% only get their news from Fox

Don’t forget to donate to your favorite distro (and other open source projects) to help them keep the lights on.

Gotta do our part to fight the massive mega corps from devouring every aspect of our lives.

Heck yeah that’s the spirit!

Give it a shot, worst case scenario they’re not gonna be worse off

You could try darning or adding a patch to the upper part of your shoes

Personally I avoid shoe goo whenever possible, it never seems to hold very long

It captures them a shitton of data that they very likely sell or use to get advertisers on board.

I’ve gotten fairly skilled at mending my own cloths as of late. And fixing my shoes.

By “skilled” I mean I can keep my junk from flapping in the breeze, which IMO is good enough.

It’s getting rough out there, and I can’t afford to buy that shit now. Thread is cheap, sewing needles are cheap, and extra fabric is easy AF to come by.

The Ultra Wealthy basically.

I need to get my flag pole situated on my car so I can hang a 3x5 flag off the back.

I ain’t going quietly into that good night goddamnit

EDIT: I’m planning to hang a pride flag for those curious. Maybe a “FDT” flag if I’m feeling really spicy.

That’s a Based AF bumper sticker right there

Fears over my lack of PTO to be able to party that day.

He’s probably been having them for years

Once you have one they become more and more common, and the common they are they more likely you are to hit a serious (life ending) one.

Innocent until proven guilty

Sometimes it ends up with situations like this but it’s the best way to ensure that people don’t have to prove their innocence when accused of a crime.

You could always have a switch for your door bell so that when the switch is off the bell doesn’t ring. Just turn the doorbell off each night and enjoy some uninterrupted sleep.

Plus when the ding-dong-ditchers realize that the bell no longer rings they’re likely to stop hitting your bell.
