I heard from dentists it was better to do it before eating or drinking anything, as you’ve coated your mouth in the good shit to protect it. But I guess it’s splitting hairs.

It has an endorphin release and people get addicted.

No. I didn’t say you weren’t a prepper unless you did specific things. Some peppers do just fill a cabinet with guns and call it a day. But seeing as how much of a prepper someone is completely due to how prepared they are, the ones with seeds, animal husbandry skills, water management, air filtration, renewables, are obviously more of a prepper than man with lots of ammunition.

Haha fair enough.

Most real peppers DO do this stuff.

There isn’t anything inherently wrong with having a properly built bunker with all the food and stuff you need.

I agree there are a lot of right wing nutjobs with more guns than gardening tools, but you’re being pretty uncharitable to a very broad hobby that includes just as many hippies and leftish people ready to help their local communities.

Preparedness is something everyone should have, so that when the store shelves empty at the start of the pandemic, no one is concerned about their lack of toilet paper or feeding their kids.

No, that’s the idea. But that’s also why we see very little eco terrorism. No one can handle losing what we have. Even if it is necessary.

Field Marshal Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the 14 realms, Lord of Mann, Master of the Arts, defender of the faith, Admiral of the Fleet, is what his friends call him.

Wild. I always thought he seemed fine. Pretty self-aware and just Canadian.

Wow really? What do you find annoying about him?

YouTube is far from the only video hosting site, and far from the only way to do it. Peertube, Vimeo, Patreon, Floatplane, Nebula, bitchute to name some examples of sites already set up, with monetisation, with youtube creators actively posting on them. Twitch rivals like Kick and Rumble could also absolutely pivot into taking YTs market share too

Yep

Why would I pay YouTube that when I can give it directly to the creators though. I’ll just adblock and not put money in the hands of Google, while helping the creators more.

That would be a side benefit of an otherwise bad idea.

Thursdays, Redwing, Nicks, Whites

Wicked, they look wouldn’t look out of place in Back to the Future

Please look into Nicks or Whites or traditional bootmakers. They will give you indestructible boots in all of the wide sizes. More expensive upfront but you can give them to your grandchildren if you do minimal care and pay the $50 to have them resoled as needed.

Exothermic chemical reaction heats the food, like modern military MREs

As if denying other people’s identity is some horrific irredeemable wrong. He questioned people’s identities, that saw him alienated by the left, he now hangs out with people who agree with him. It’s not complicated. If you want to change minds, it helps to be less of a holier than thou self righteous party pooper that immediately brands them as irredeemably evil when they say something you disagree with.

Don’t worry, you’re right. Lemmy is just so blinded by ideology and online politics they couldn’t build a bridge if their lives depended on it. Which it ironically does.
