Always looking for penpals!
Queer leftist person with a trans partner and I have a Mexican name in a red state.
I really, really, REALLY don’t want to need it.
I dread the day I might need it.
I’ll probably just die. But I wanna believe it’ll be on my feet if it comes to that.
As a pro gun pro hunting guy
Do you actually need to depend on venison for food or do you choose to?
Personally, I think hunting is a good way to stay mindful of the food chain and what it takes to eat meat. If one is going to eat meat I view this as the most ethical way to do it.
But its not necessary.
Unless you’re doing the whole process yourself (which you might be) then its not cheaper than purchasing meat. And also its not better for you health wise unless you have some sorta allergy to beef. I guess its more lean, but truthfully I’d rather have smaller portions of fatty meat for flavor and health benefit reasons than more frequent lean meat.
I’d personally prefer to keep my ability to obtain protein myself if needed and the easiest way to do that is with a gun, but I have been looking I to bow hunting because that feels more ethical environmentally and in a lot of ways safer than explosion tubes that I hold next to my face.
So I guess I have two questions. Do you need to hunt? Do you need a gun specifically to hunt?
What’s your technical skill?
You can host a really simple blog for free if you are comfortable with github, markdown, and Hugo
My blog
Is built that way. There’s lots of premade themes.
If you’re (rightfully) adverse to github you can also use codeberg actions but I haven’t done that yet. I’m wanting to though!
I think I followed this guide initially
FreeCAD isn’t terrible if you haven’t already learned F360
I had to watch a bunch of videos on FreeCAD to sorta unlearn the work flow of F360 stuff but its not bad.
Mad its clickbait
Don’t care cause Michaelsoft bad
Personally, I view it as propaganda still, but I don’t view propaganda as bad inherently.
Propaganda to me is just an organized effort to persuade a larger audience of people politically. Its only bad if the aims are harmful unjustly.
So people organizing a take over to reiterate “No fucking Nazis!” Is a propaganda campaign, but its based.

Does mine count since I have a vasectemy
Societal collapse? No gold won’t save you. Tools and how to use them will.
Maybe during hyperinflation though.
Gods not a terrible investment but it doesn’t have a short term ROI just a REALLY long term one.
I hate Bitcoin but its probably a better investment (and just as useful) than gold.
I’m a fudd though and ONLY buy stable stocks that yield reliable dividends though. ETFs, S&P stuff.
I had to kill the fan. Its been fucking up my sinuses.

The line between art and fetish I think isn’t real.
Why else would so much art just be naked people?
I recommend
“SPQR” by Mary Beard for a good comprehensive book on Roman history
If you prefer chronology for some reason
“The origin of empire” by David Potter is really good
Also “Inventing the Renaissance” By Ada Palmer
I went to college for this shit and these books, while very long, do basically smarize everything I learned on these two subjects. So I’ve saved you probably $10,000
You would love reading any Roman History book and then “Inventing the Renaissance” by Ada palmer.
You’re right. It really does feel like were in the death throws of the republic of rome and the Empire is forming.
Which, naturally, will fall eventually and will likely turn into a nationalist nostalgia and inspire a Renaissance.
You should also be aware that most modern authors have 1 boon and 1 bane. Their boon is significantly more evidence than any other surviving roman historian ever. Their bane is that they will have Tue biases of our modern issues.
Its my favorite thing how much historical interpretation gets done through the eyes of a contemporary. Historians love to go on and on about not having bias, but their human so they do. A good example of this is Edward Gibbons “Decline and Fall of the Roman Empire” which revitalization our modern tradition of Roman History studies. Unfortunately (or fortunately if you’re like me and wanted to study intellectual history) this whole series is often used as a criticism of the British Empire in the 17th century.
Of course a lot of it is good enough roman history, but whole stories within the book are complete fabrications. There is no evidence that they happened to Emperor X or Province Y, but the series of events and the alleged public disapprovals of them do match up with the events of his contemporary political moment for which it would have been illegal for Mr. Gibbon to criticize publicly.
And this means of using nostalgia around a long dead empire to affect contemporary politics is what happened in the Renaissance.
Ada Palmers book she effectively (and very accessibly) argues that the Renaissance was more or less just a massive propaganda campaign since by no measure was the “Renaissance” better or worse than the middle ages. In fact the span of the “renaissance” is so grand that it often includes the middle ages or it doesn’t depending on where you want to believe the renaissance started which is constantly redefined.
There’s a few options now, but you can get Intel N100 ITX boards Like this one from ASUS with a soldered on N100 CPU for the cost of a normal motherboard.
If its just a NAS, and I do recommend having a separate Just a NAS, that CPU fucks hard.
Then the media cycle that would have been about the columbine shooters is about the mad stranger who killed two innocent high schoolers and vanished.
Anyone else notice how brown the snow was after home landed.
Never seen someone shit themselves so hard.
I want them to 1 for 1 recreate the scene. No changes.
I respect that Steve was able to control himself and only make a 25 minute video on this.
Are you getting info from OKstupid blog posts and Tiktokers?
Interesting, but effective way to tell us you’re being brain washed to hate.
