Don’t be mad at Hegseth. He’s just the tail of the snake. He doesn’t his head from his ass: he’s a weekend TV show host with a drinking problem. He doesn’t have the brainpower to do any of this shit.

The person you should be mad at is Trump. Or rather - because Trump himself is only a demented puppet without a clue - the people behind the 2025 project pulling his strings: the Federalist society and the Heritage foundation.

I think I know what happened in El Paso: some dumbass Magat figured it sounded too latino and unwhite, until someone remembered it’s in fact in the US.

Florida is really turning into MAGA-central. It’s attracting all the fascist-adjacent refuse. What a dump…

I have a security camera at my house. Not for security, but to watch the nature at the back from inside the house.

I specifically did NOT install a SD card in it nor an NVR, so if it’s ever removed as evidence for any kind of reason, it will have no story to tell. And of course, it’s on our LAN and firewalled off the internet.

haha you can’t use them, because you don’t pay, but the government gets a free universal pass.

Well, same for ICE: the fuzz is generally supposed to work for the good of the community, but ICE is working against it, yet you pay for it in your taxes.

The camera too works against you, but through Amazon, not directly.

Shit working against you is a theme these days…

I don’t have a doorbell camera, but I have to go past at least 2 of them every time I leave my home

A spray-paint can goes a long way. Just make sure to approach the damn camera from a blind angle.

The thing with a spray-paint can is, it takes you 2 seconds and a fraction of a penny to disable the camera, while it takes the man beaucoup bucks and a lot of time to fix it.

Today’s world is so weird: online “services” are forced unto you even if you stop paying for them, and visiting kidnappers caught on camera look like ICE officers…

It sure looks like it. Thanks! I had no idea this was a thing.

The report added that executions will be carried out by hanging, with three guards pressing the trigger simultaneously.

Oh come on… Surely the Jews of all people should know first-hand how to commit a genocide properly.

The only way to know for sure what’s truly lurking in the dark confines of Ghislaine Maxwell’s head is to crack it open and look inside.

MAGA is bad for your health.

Speak for yourself. Who says I’m paying taxes?

Just heating - and as a supplemental source of heat too: the main heating system is geothermal. But this is an old house with a fiendishly efficient stove. So I burn a few logs in there every day and it keeps the entire house nice and warm without the heat pump doing much.

Dude… If you think lost toes are interesting, you should visit the diabetes wing in any hospital: it’s so depressingly common the Dull Men’s Club should have a dedicated section just for that 🙂

Everybody’s circumstances are different.

I think that particular piece of medical wisdom comes from the fact that most people who lose toes - big or small - get there because of diabetes, meaning they’re sedentary, often overweight, and have diminished feeling in their feet.

I didn’t have that problem: my feet were - mechanically anyway - fully functional, and I’m quite active. so I had little trouble adapting to no toes. After two month, life was mostly back to normal.

I do have a few balance issues - mostly leaning forward in certain situations: if I’m not careful, I will plant my face. And the weirdest side effect for me is that my feet are less stable left to right: it feels like walking on a log lengthwise all the time. That was totally unexpected.

I’m not doing any of that. I have enough dry wood to last me 2 years, so even if I do nothing, this lot will be dry by the time I need to use it.

I lost them to a congenital disease. It’s very boring. My only claim to fame is that, unlike most people who get their feet shortened, it wasn’t diabetes 🙂

Not kidding 🙂

So was it to create a private skating rink? 🙂
