My LGBTQ friends are terrified for their rights and their safety. My female friends are terrified about their continued access to birth control and reproductive health care. They're terrified about what electing a rapist bully to the highest office in the country means for their safety and well being. If you don't think that normalizes misogynist/rapist behavior in a lot of dudes's heads, you're wrong.

 

It's closer to "Do you want to lose a finger or an entire arm?" and we said "Take that bitch off at the shoulder"

Oh yes, you got it right on the head of the nail. Another positive thought for the day, our new first lady is a mail order bride.... So glad I am taking a flight to Colorado tomorrow morning so I can stay baked to the point of retardation for 5 days. This is just too much

Neither main party candidate was the right choice this year and I can't see why so many people can't admit it. One is a liar who won't admit when they're wrong, and the other is an orange liar who won't admit when they're wrong.

Choice between which finger you want to cut off and which hand to take it from...

It was a bunch of angry old men they got out of the boonies. Swing states weren't decided by the cities, it was rural areas that were usually irrelevant. Go look at Dom's state ffs.

Yes sir. Those quiet people in the suburbs that think like him but are afraid to admit it as well are to blame for this. Plenty of shit minded folks like him that are just too worried about what the neighbors might think to openly admit they are willing to back someone with his social outlook

Cubs won the world series and Biff is president, Back To The Future has become a documentary

Just had this conversation 2 days ago.... I was hoping this was all a bad dream after taking my Xanax last night, but alas, hell has officially relocated to the surface now

After several decades of life kicking me around now I'm just like "Eh, whatever" in the face of most physical pain.

This is me pretty much. Shitty thing about adopting this attitude we share is dangerously evident in the fact I lost 2 friends a few months apart some years back. One died from kidney failure, and the other from congestive heart failure. Both had preexisting issues, like I do, but were in that "fuck it, it'll go away" mind state too. Now I am sans two best friends, same age as I. Gives me this new urge to get checked out as often as possible now that I have insurance. I'm using that shit like a paid whore until it's gone lol

I wouldn't want to do it again, but it wasn't that bad. I'd do it again if I lost one, I'd just be grumpy about it. Passing a kidney stone 9 years ago really upped my pain tolerance like a million percent.

Although, a friend of a friend's ex split the head of his penis with nothing but a bottle of whiskey, a razor blade, and a block of wood to bite down on....and just no.

For some reason I have always had a large pain threshold for pain, which screws me sometimes. Last year when I had that appendectomy, I had felt like shit the entire night before and had refused to go to the hospital at first because I was "convinced" it was just food poisoning, and when I finally agreed to go to the hospital, I was within moments of it bursting. Not sure if being hardheaded is part of that threshold lol

...and my fear of nipple rings grows ever stronger

I would honestly rather go through another genital piercing than to ever have my nipples done again. Probably the worst of my piercings pain wise, and this is from someone who had their tongue pierced with an 8 gauge needle...

Jason, the city finally started tearing down that mall in that vice documentary.

Word. Last night's episode was really depressing. Seeing Six Flags in New Orleans still flooded and abandoned is really heart felt to me since I grew up going to the Six Flags in Georgia. Sad stuff, but a damn good series for sure...

Edit: “We’d go to Target, then go have lunch in the food court and we’d mosey around.”  

Sounds like something someone from here would say lol

Good day all! Two weeks and I will be in Colorado on vacation and boy am I excited and ready to go

What the fuck is up with Five Guys though? I randomly walked into one the other day because I kept hearing it was really great but the fuckers charged me like $15 for burger/fries/soda. That was just small stuff, no upgrades. Wat?

Expensive yes, but as a once in a while thing it's worth the cash. It's fresh and they give you plenty of food for the money at the one here

1 hour ago, Thomas³ said:

Five Guys is pretty good, but yeah it is fucking expensive for fast food.

 

They do give you a fuck ton of fries though. The cajun fries are amazing.

Those fries.... soooo many fries

It is starting to get into the good part of the year.

It's been beautiful the past 5 or so days here but it's climbing back into the low 80's today so I am very happy to have gotten all that yard work done before it did.

We only have emissions, not safety, so thankfully my car wouldn't fail for stuff like that. They almost got rid of it 2 years ago, but our air quality is still shit, so they extended it for 5-10 more year before they try to get rid of it again. It's just annoying only 7 counties in the state have it still. At least the test is free once every 2 years. Not sure what it costs if you fail and have to get retested.

Sucks to have to dump money on emissions work for the car and also have to kick out for a secondary test too. And in only 7 counties as well, that just seems like robbery. If the air is that bad, it's not isolated to 7 places in particular so it should be a state wide requirement

Doing that was a ton cheaper than exploratory surgery to figure out what was wrong with the car. Ah..... the good ole days.

They did away with them some number of years ago here as well, but I remember when my father did them as a service at his garage and how he said time and time again that it was more of a hassle to have to argue with people over why he couldn't pass their cars because of cracked glass and other small issues, so he was quite happy when they did away with it.

Morning all. I dunno about the mosquito bites and the few painful scratches on my legs, but I actually had fun mowing an acre of grass yesterday with a pushmower. But ooooooooh am I sore this morning lol

Hello All, hope everyone is doing good...

 

anyone going shopping on "RSD Black Friday"? I need that Conor Oberst 7, and my only store will not get it. Anyone willing to help me out would be much appreciated!

I will check with my local guy and if he has it I will snag you one if nobody else does first Lord Taco

I like it for about an hour, then it feels like a chore again after that :p.

I think doing the work with a friend and having steady conversation the entire time helps too and puts the chore part of it out of mind frame for the time we are working

Just now, Thomas³ said:

Because it's a chore you are required to do as a kid, but as an adult it's actually pretty enjoyable. Nice light exercise, and it's cool to see what you do change the landscape of your yard.

I guess you're right. My friend is really big into conservation and came to help me clean up some storm debris and clean up the area around my girlfriend's house, and I just found myself really enjoying dragging off limbs and being super surprised at what a few well placed cuts accomplishes. Can't say I've ever looked forward to mowing grass and cleaning stuff up, but damn it's fun lol

Morning all. Can anyone explain why yard work is such a dreadful experience when you're a kid, but somehow now I seem to enjoy it, apart from the slight sunburn...

Currently drafting up multiple ideas for a record shelf. Making it into a piece of furniture instead of just some basic shelving. So I'm gonna use some nice oak. Besides the ETID show on Wednesday, that's what I'll be up to this week. I'm pretty stoked to design and build my own instead of just being an IKEA one. 

Cannot wait to see how this turns out! Thanks for the links to the Caspian stuff from me as well

The ETID show was a lot of fun.

Did they play a decent mix of old & new material?

1 minute ago, Holo said:

That wasn't my point. The issue is that you are introducing risk that you don't really need to have when there are other options that solve it almost as well. Hell, Pro-Ject has a TT with an isolated motor IIRC too. It isn't completely silent or floating, but I'd much rather have that.

I pretty much thought from my first look at it that it was a product built for fashion over function anyhow, so I'm not investing much thought into the possibility I would ever invest in it.

12 minutes ago, Holo said:

It isn't a running issue, but anybody who isn't living alone faces a risk. Hell, even a dog. 

This problem is easily solved with a $19 investment in a baby gate... Trust me, no pups allowed near my vinyl

Also, I highly, highly suggest rewatching them. You always find out new shit. So many easter eggs too.

No problem. I really want my GF to watch it too because I wasn't sure if she would like it or not when I first started but it damn sure wrapped me up quickly

1 minute ago, Dave Grohl said:

And when they broke it off... fuck.

It made me think about this girl I dated when I was in my twenties who had an aunt who was a morphine addict. She told me she shot up in her neck once and the needle snapped off and got sucked under the skin... Have never been able to get that out of my head either. Damn you and thank you! When does season 3 start?

Hey @Dave Grohl, I love you for talking about Mr Robot enough to get me to binge both seasons, but I could kick you because I will never ever be able to scrub the thought of a hypodermic needle stuck in my middle finger out of my mind the rest of my life no matter how much pot I smoke lol

So glad I don't variant collect

Well, you know, I like to be sad in 3 or 4 different colors lol

9 minutes ago, Thomas³ said:

Thankfully I've never cared to be a variant collector, so I don't have to deal with it. 

Luckily he is the only artist I variant collect for and his two highest variants only go up to 6, so at least it's not like I'm chasing down 17 copies of Jane Doe like the Converge collectors  are doing. I can't imagine needing an entire cabinet just for one artist...

1 minute ago, Thomas³ said:

Hey, sometimes it's worth it. You can't really help who your favorite artist is. Thankfully I've never cared to be a variant collector, so I don't have to deal with it. I'm glad to just own a copy of something. At least you didn't get into him really late, and had to track down all the variants at the aftermarket prices.

Very true. And I was lucky enough to catch Red House Painters on their very last tour, so I always have that to carry around as a proud moment. Well before he sank into his abusive jerk off phase lol

1 minute ago, Thomas³ said:

That's good, but he still puts out a ton of stuff, which I'm sure is not cheap.

Indeed. He holds the vast majority of value in my collection for sure. He certainly doesn't make it an easy task to obtain it either even when it's first available. I sometimes wonder why I had to stumble across him in that promo drawer when working at that record shop in '97 lol. It was trouble in the making  

Just now, Thomas³ said:

No problem. That's quite the expensive collection to have, not sure how you do it.

A good chunk of it I was lucky enough to buy as they came out and before these flipper dickheads wanted to charge a c note each or more for them. Then there's the "well if I sell this thing I have sitting around no longer being used, I can use that money to fund a buy" strategy. A lot of times there's the "you know, I could sell that whole pile and just have the cash, but then I would hate myself for it" mind state lol. I'm sure my method is really no different than all the rest of you guy's lol
