@Devon_Eriksen_ @DocStrangelove2 What is a good, compact line of Glock-clone for concealed carry?

Revolvers are obsolete. 1911s are obsolete. 2011s are obsolete because 1911s are obsolete. Bolt action rifles are obsolete. High Power competition rules are obsolete, designed to cover up the weaknesses of the M1 Garand because boomers can't admit their favorite rifle is no longer competitive. Iron sights on rifles are obsolete. Iron sights on pistols will soon be obsolete. Any magazine that malfunctions when you rest the rifle on its baseplate is defective, throw it away. Any handguard that won't hold zero for mounted aiming devices is defective, throw it away. Most people have too much shit on their AR. The AK platform is no longer competitive with the modern AR. Wood doesn't belong on rifles any more. Pencil barrels are usually as good as carbon fiber, because most people really don't need sustained fire. Most exotic and less-popular chamberings don't give enough additional performance to justify themselves. 300 Blackout is a solution in search of a problem. Anything it can do, something else does better. There is no reason to buy a Glock for any purpose whatever, because there are clones better than the real thing. 5.7 is a great cartridge, but it will never make significant inroads into the concealed handgun market, because all of its advantages go away without an awkwardly long barrel. 40S&W only exists because the FBI are retards. Appendix carry isn't actually better, it just has different strengths and weaknesses.

@brockpierson Truth.

In 3 words or less, what is your 𝕏 account about?

@0hour1 You mean all the blonde fashion designers from Nigeria? There go all my follows!

X has begun to go after fake accounts that pretend to be different genders or from different countries.

@LizzyStarrrdust Never get anything done. Either of us.

@AdvancedTweaker Try using Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Drugs — without insurance. It is the insurance that blocks early refills. The insurance companies don’t want to pay for a drug and then have you switch to a different one. When you pay cash, that’s your problem — but also your freedom.

How do you stockpile meds if the pharmacy only gives you 3 months' supply at a time?

@RiderofWolves We would download the PDF version, so we could keep it on our phone.

Even if there was a manual on females, you guys wouldn't read it.

@DataRepublican @CynicalPublius Jennica Pounds — yes indeed, she does.

This means more than I can really put into words. I don't see myself this way. I'm just someone who kept asking the question "why" and following the money, and I have no idea why I amassed this much support. But grateful for all that's happened. Love especially this line - "you can also support her by being as brave as she is." This is more true than you know. A big part of my book is that the struggle is really over "consultation primacy," who people look to when things stop making sense. Hence why so much effort is going towards combating misinformation, and why "grand master plans to fix democracy" now involve mandatory national service for NGOs. Pre-ordering my book is huge (especially as @PassagePress relies on the preorders as they aren't a nationwide chain and are trying to get this into distributors). But the best way you can support me is simply telling the truth. Thank you, and humbled.

RE: Data Republican I am a huge Data Republican (small r) (“DR”) fan. I know many of you are as well. But I’m not sure everyone fully understands the sheer bravery, brilliance and audacity of this deaf every-woman. You see, the government you elect is not what actually governs you. For every area of government (no matter how specialized or arcane), there are powerful lobbying groups, think-tanks, non-governmental organizations ("NGOs"), specialized media outlets, university-sponsored centers and other ostensibly "independent" organizations that act and behave as an unaccountable form of government outside the reaches of the electoral process. While these organizations claim to act in the public interest, each and everyone of them is a self-serving oligarchy that is designed solely to promote the interests of those on the inside--genuine public interest be damned. This is America of course, and freedom of speech and freedom of association are fundamental to our freedoms. However, over many decades, these organizations have found “legal” ways to obtain trillions of your taxpayer dollars in the form of “grants” for “studies,” “policy symposiums” and all manner of other taxpayer-funded activities designed specifically to circumvent the policies the American people VOTED FOR and to perpetuate policies and activities that the average American has explicitly rejected. These activities occur on both the Left and the Right, of course, but over time they have become the near exclusive domain of the Left. These organizations serve as taxpayer/Soros-funded, income-generating activities for Leftists whenever they are out of power, and if/when Leftists seize control of the Presidency or Congress, these organizations are the proverbial bullpens from which powerful Leftists full of the ideas you thought you once eliminated can storm right back into the actual process of governance, implementing all of those dark and mysterious policies that your tax dollars were secretly funding while the Leftists were otherwise off howling in the wilderness. Call it the Deep State. Call it unconstitutional. Call it theft of your hard-earned taxpayer dollars. Call it the evil of the Soros family. Call it what ever you will, but know this—it is a monstrous Leviathan sitting right outside the scope of your votes, dedicated to negating your votes at your own expense, in the most diabolical manner possible. It is the state outside the state. It is self-serving. It does not care about you. It only cares about itself. And its power is VAST. You see it right here on X—you see the swarms of fire ants that come spilling out with destruction in mind whenever anyone uncovers the anthill they are lurking under. And right at the heart of that is our hero, DR. I have been actively following politics virtually my entire life, and never before has there been anyone quite like DR. Through dispassionate data analysis, the smart use of AI and a relentless drive for fairness and justice, DR has done more to shine a light on the nature of this extra-governmental Leviathan than any other person I can ever recall. For her efforts, she has been doxxed by a mendacious Rolling Stone article. She has endured a concerted effort to destroy her husband’s totally unrelated business. She and her husband have received LITERALLY THOUSANDS of death threats. She and her family had to go into hiding. An ordinary woman would have backed down in fear. But not DR. They just made her mad. And an angry genius is an enemy no one wants to face. She still stares them down, day in and day out. Her book will be out soon. Buy it. Buy copies for your friends. Buy copies and leave them on street corners and airport tables. AMERICANS NEED TO KNOW THE TRUTH. DR’s book may well end up being the most important and influential American book on politics since “Common Sense." If America is going to survive, we must ALL shine a bright light on this extra-governmental Leviathan, grab a hold of its fangs, and drain the venom out of them. This is not playtime people. This is life and death. We glorify the warrior who does great deeds on the battlefield, as we should. But know that bravery comes in many forms, and as DR has stood in the fire and endured real threats to her life and existence, her audacious bravery is every bit as real as those heroes we see being decorated by the President. Right now, in the USA, no unelected person is doing more to ensure freedom than Data Republican. You can support her by subscribing to her account, but you can also support her by being as brave as she is. I aspire to maybe show such bravery myself some day. We all should aspire to that. One day she will earn the Presidential Medal of Freedom. Together we can defeat The Beast.

@oog84__ Great series, and this episode is better (to me) than some others because it resonates with my “10,000 grandmothers” premise.

"hey. oog." oog turn around. fru standing there. fifteen winter. taller than last moon. oog wonder when that happen. fru: "can oog teach fru to make fire." oog: "fru already know how to make fire." fru: "no. GOOD fire. the kind papa make. the one that last all night. where you put the big log under and the small on top and it breathe right and never go out. that fire. oog know how." oog do know how. papa teach oog. three winter of teaching. patient. repetitive. the same hand correction over and over until oog hand learn on their own. oog: "okay. come." they go outside. oog gather material. show fru. base. kindling. structure. airflow. fru trying. failing. fire dying. fru getting frustrated. fru: "UGH." oog: "too much kindling. choking it. fire need to breathe fru." fru try again. fail. oog reach over. move fru hand. reposition the wood. exactly the way papa repositioned oog hand all those winter ago. same angle. same gentle correction. fru try again. small flame. holding. growing. fru face lit up. not by fire. by the thing that happen when your hand finally learn. fru: "OOG. LOOK." oog looking. oog looking at the fire and also looking at something bigger that fru can't see yet. because oog just passed something down. something papa gave oog. and papa papa gave papa. hand to hand to hand. this chain of "here. like this. no. like THIS. there. you got it." nobody write this down. no cave painting for "how papa taught oog to place the bottom log." but it travel. generation to generation. through hand and patience and the willingness to say "try again" forty time without getting tired. fru staring at fire like he invented it. oog staring at fru hand. which are positioned exactly like papa hand. which are positioned exactly like papa papa hand. and so on. and so on. all the way back to first fire. first hand that taught second hand. we think legacy is big thing. big hunt. big battle. big name. it not. legacy is fru hand on the log at exactly the right angle because oog hand was on fru hand and papa hand was on oog hand and we just keep going. keep passing the warmth forward. hand to hand to hand. fire that last all night. that the whole point. love, oog

This is worse than cheating

@DesireeAmerica4 Unfortunately, not all states implement the Castle Doctrine, and in those that do, important details vary. Try looking up Castle Doctrine and “stand your ground” on Grokipedia and see what’s up. Some states effectively bundle the two together.

One of those “this can’t be real” moments. Some guy perched himself smack on the hood of a car, refusing to budge, trapping the poor driver at an intersection. Before anyone even had time to dial the police, some random SUV driver had *had enough.* This guy storms out, grabs the hood-sitter, and hurls him onto the pavement like a wrestler clearing the ring. So, here’s the question: if someone’s acting like a traffic troll, do bystanders get a pass for going full vigilante to solve the problem, or did that guy just leap wayyyy over the line?

@Batenswytch That would be my choice. Preserves your options.

@Cocoader Think I'll mulch it then.

So. I got my garden weed barrier down today. Has pre cut holes to plant your stuff in. It was like fighting a Chinese parade dragon with the wind. Do I mulch over it now that i have stapled down? Ive never used it before. Cheap tarp like fabric.

@pallnandi Sex is pretty good emotional spackle, but if you don’t fix the cause of the cracks you are fixing, you will just get more cracks.

You could fix 80% of marital problems if you just had more sex with your partner.

@lisavsworld I actually regret it every time. But it’s them or me. I will willingly trade not having their words thrown at me for my lower cortisol level.

I love muting people. :)

@kekmaximusk It is factually correct to describe a human as a toroidal protein bag containing a numerical majority of unrelated commensal organisms and a minority community of genetically related cells that think they are in charge.

the microbiome in your gut contains more neurons than a cat’s brain and speaks to your mind through the vagus nerve you are not a single organism you are a walking ecosystem that thinks

@kekmaximusk That’s why I habitually reject most of the text predictions when I am posting — salting the earth with unpredictability.

I had problems with Walgreens shorting prescriptions — I complained and they added a note “Double count” to my order, and the problem stopped. I don’t use them any more, and they are the closest pharmacy to my home. Instead I use Walmart pharmacy for “need it now” prescriptions and Mark Cuban’s Cost Plus Pharmacy for everything else. Both have been reliably accurate, and less expensive than Walgreens. Small things make a difference.

You go to Walgreens to get your prescription filled and when you get home, you notice that the bottle doesn't seem as full so you count the pills and discover you are short a few. You go back and ask them to check their cameras or do an inventory to see if they are short but they don't seem like they care. This is the first time that has ever happened to you and you just want your missing medicine. What do you do? I've only had that happen one time at a pharmacy I've used for over 30 years. They did a count of what they had and discovered they were off by the few I was missing and gave them to me the next day.
