Dammit, I have already bought two knives you've featured in these. This might be #3.

A-fucking-men! Things can change fast, be ready to throw down!

Fun facts!

85% of people arrested with fentanyl at the border as U.S. citizens.

The vast majority of people arrested here for trafficking children are U.S. citizens (and children are over 3x more likely to be trafficked by an acquaintance or relative than they are a random kidnapper).

"Illegal aliens" commit less crime than natural born U.S. citizens.

Violent immigrants, perverted trans people, and incompetent DEI hires are all moral panics. You hear so much about them because the Republican party has nothing to offer that will make your life safer or easier.

A friend of mine asked this on one of his social media pages. This was one of the responses he got:

Yes, we are very happy with what Trump is doing. I am not worried about disdain. Ninety percent of people I know voted for Trump for the same reasons I did. We are $2 trillion in debt with waste fraud and abuse running rampant in our government. Leftists are pushing transgender ism on our teenagers and I know this because I teach in public school and l'm not part of the union but still get publications from them. They are pushing for men to compete in women's sports. DEl is a complete disaster for what should be obvious... instead of equal opportunity it's forced equal outcome. The immigration system is a complete mess with millions coming over our border unvetted, while 400,000 children are sex - trafficked and people are killed by fentanyl. In Springfield, Ohio near to where we live, 30,000 Haitian immigrants have taken over a lot of of the city, are driving without drivers licenses, are flooding into the schools that can't even handle the influx. In many cities, homeless people have totally taken over police departments, sleeping on floors and crime has gone up greatly. The previous president admitted to getting millions from our adversaries around the world and doesn't even have a defense for it and can't say what service he provided to get this money... the left censored our speech during the Biden era and lied to us about the vaccine, etc. That administration was the most corrupt in history. We teachers can no longer discipline in schools. I could go on and write chapters on everything!

It made me equal parts sad and infuriated to read that. This person has absorbed so much propaganda, accepted tons of misinformation as fact, and fallen for just about every moral panic currently out there.

I keep getting recruiters sending me in-office jobs on the other side of the country and not even telling me the salary range. You're asking me to break my lease, uproot my family, and leave behind all my local friends. If your salary is low enough that you don't want to advertise it up front, why would I ever even consider doing all that?

The media is gonna spin things no matter what. Dems should not let that stop them.

With all the junior devs he surrounds himself with, I'd expect him to be sick of XSS by now.

Not in an emotional way, but like digesting news from around the world and seeing logically we are fucked so may as well just quit?

I would challenge that belief.

Things are bad, sure. Climate is gonna change, people are gonna fight and die over the dumbest shit, and billionaires are going to loot any public good they can get their hands on.

But good people are still fighting. It's a lot less top-down and much less visible, but it's happening. Lives can still be saved, the damage can still be mitigated, and the bad guys can still be meaningfully opposed. Things can change quickly!

We have to keep in mind that the news is never gonna be good. Even when it isn't a glorified right-wing propaganda machine, it's a business that thrives on attention. And things that make you sad or scared or angry are always gonna grab your attention more than anything else.

We're not getting hit by a giant meteor. We're not all irrecoverably fucked. It's better to prepare for an uncertain better future than give up preemptively!

It burns my ass that some folks actually bought the whole "Trump doesn't support Project 2025" bullshit. I cannot imagine being such a gullible, credulous moron.

Put the man who envisioned a stateless and currency-less society on a state-issued currency? Still a better pick than Jackson.

You may also want to check the extruder arm. The stock plastic one on the ender 3 is prone to cracking.

There isn't one. Goodness is not one thing, and showing compassion or thoughtfulness in one domain is no guarantee that someone isn't a monster in another.
