Sitting here, next to his bed

listening to him gasping out his last breaths. The wait is killing me, but I know he’ll be better off in the end. I want to cry, need to cry, but the couple tears aren’t enough to handle the pain. Though I have other family, I am alone in this. The final vigil. This slow, drawn out thing isn’t how it was supposed to be. You should have just went to sleep and that was it.

I am so sorry all I can do is just sit here, dad. I love you and will miss you.

And now you’re gone, and I wasn’t there. I went home so they could visit, and you went without me being there. I feel so guilty I wasn’t there for you at your last. Every time I think I’m done crying, another thought - “I’m never going to see you again,” “I’m never going to hear your voice again” - or memory hits, and I’m sobbing all over again.

Why didn’t anyone tell me losing your dad was going to suck so much? I miss you so much, daddy. I wish you were still with me.

The AWB does suck and is massively unconstitutional but it may give me the excuse I need to buy less practical guns. Here’s the list of possible 2025 purchases

-Ruger Vaquero .357

-Marlin 45-70

-CMP Garand

-Colt Python

-S&W model 19 carry comp

-Marlin 336

-Mossberg 590A1

the carry comp and Mossberg sound very nice. i really want a .30 carbine Blackhawk myself

@jdeko I want you to know this from the bottom of my heart - you have great taste in guns and I want you to own every piece of kit you ever post about

thank you very much. that means a lot since you've seen my Tavor and still believe that

I may be an anti-Semite but I’m not anti-Semitic military industrial complex

.30 Carbine Blackhawk is one of my holy grail guns. My grandpa had a pair back in the 50's. I really want to try one.

ok boss some of us are more .357/.38 sized humans but I get ya

I've always wanted a Colt Python since I discovered them back when I was 15.

I'm only 31, though

It's me, but I'm older than 31.

I can think of a hundred things we could do to improve our collective health a hundred fold more than replacing sugar with a slightly different sugar that breaks down to be the same sugar in our bodies.

Free cancer screenings.

Eliminating food deserts.

Free vaccines.

Free birth control.

Drug treatment.

Naloxone to anyone who wants it.

Okay, I am too tired to do one hundred. But I'm sure I could.

I'm no nutritionist so I can't claim to understand it but I will say I have always found uneasy and how people are negative towards the man-made products and food especially considering how useful they have been and producing the positive outcome of more calorically dense foods and a world that was once starving and I think that framework is the framework that is the most missing and how we view food today.

The popular food of today was designed and made and a time period where starvation and privation was a simple fact of life. And it is taking a great deal of heroic efforts from a lot of people who we give our thanks to for ending this cycle of history of famines and overpopulation and famines we broke the cycle gentleman we broke it now we know periods in which the human population is not defined by periods of rapid starvation but prosperity.

That being said I cannot as I've said condemn any of the moves people have done over the past to make these foods what they are knowing what came before because if I have to choose one or the other kind of existence I'm picking the one in which I'm fat unhealthy but I ain't starving.

And all of this being said at the same time I do recognize as I get older it is very important to be careful what you put in your body because some things aren't necessarily bad but they could be better. And I think that's the main takeaway we should have.

If the choice is between fake sugar that tastes bad and real sugar that tastes good, and both are just as bad for you, why is it wrong to say "I'd rather have the good tasting stuff? Which should also be cheaper?"

>Eliminating food deserts.

How, exactly?

A food desert isn't 'people are starving', it's 'lack of access to healthy food'.

Do you want the government to force supermarket companies to open branches in unfriendly neighbourhoods? Subsidize those stores with taxpayer money?

Or just to give out free food?

Never thought I'd see the day when people on the left started to defend HFCS, guess all it took was the right person suggesting reducing it.

As for food deserts, the simple way to solve that problem is for the people living in them to request the products they want to have and then purchase them at a rate where the store they get them from isn't losing money in the process.

Stores will stock what people purchase provided the product is available.

This is so far below basic economics a toddler could understand it.

Another big thing to end food desserts is for fucking junkies and assholes to stop stealing. Then, stores won't close due to a huge money loss.

Thank you! ❤️❤️❤️

This is the vibe I'm trying to give at renfaire this year, but fuuuuck armor is so expensive!!!!

First thing we did tonight was clean up all our edges and grind about a 1/2 of steel free of scale for welding.

Next, we clamped everything down and used corner squares to make sure everything was as close to a 90° angle as possible.

We spot welded three points on each corner before undoing all of our clamps to flip it, clamp it again and, welded the seams of what would be the top of the table.

After completing the welds, we ground them to a flat finish before flipping it again to do the bottom seam welds.

With the basic frame finished, we will be focusing on assembling and installing the legs next week.

Whatcha building?

A welding table similar to the welding table everything is on. The holes allow you to use special pegs and clamps from virtually any spot on the table.

Cool.

✈️ MILITARY CHEMTRAILS (current ingredients) 👇

1. Pseudomonas Aeruginosa - bacteria that generally attack the lungs

2. Pseudomonas fluorescence - bacteria that cause blood and respiratory infections

3. Seratia markscens - bacteria that cause pneumonia, encephalitis, heart inflammation

4. Micoplasma fermented incognitus - pathogenic microorganism produced by the US military and found in 45% of US soldiers (-> "Sold Golf Syndrome")

5. Streptomyces and other types of fungi

6. Some types of yeast

7. Bacteria that contain certain bacterial enzymes that can alter the human genome; ingestion

8. Barium salts

9. Aluminum - particle size microns; (interesting, Alzheimer's; dementia; etc.)

10. Ethylene dibromide* (dibromoethane) C2X4Br2- carcinogenic fuel additive and chloroform-scented insecticide.

They created sickness for BIG pharma and or a slow death for the people. 🤔

Dark Temptress

Reddit is populated by violent sociopaths that are cheering on a child assaulting another child.

They're 9 years old, you don't teach 9 year olds violence as a first reaction and you don't reward them for using violence as a first reaction either.

And as for that last one, I guess we can't watch The Producers or any other Mel Brooks production ever again.

so.... we're glossing over the fact that this kid nazi saluted? fuckin sieg heiled? right there? "as a joke" sure but he had to get that from somewhere. obviously, violence bad, all that, but you're sounding like a nazi defender which is not a great look my friend.

please, if anyone could help me word this better that'd be great

as usual, punch nazis.

yeah plus as a jew when i was a kid if someone punched a kid for this i would love him forever

sometimes it's not about punishing the nazi but about making clear the rest of the community doesn't implicitly support him

Why not just tell them to fuck off? What is it with you losers and violence?

Hmm yes, the 9 year old is definitely a Nazi. There's no way he just saw it somewhere and did it without context. You know, like an ignorant child or something. Certainly there isn't anywhere he could go to learn the history of that gesture; the only option is corporal punishment. Go violence!

That said, OOP is either lying for karma or a moron. Possibly both.

If your gut instinct is to punch someone for “being a Nazi” and you teach your children to do the same you’re a worse person than any “Nazi” you’re punching.

I'm good with punching "nazis" if we also get to superkick assholes for being Marxists
