I’m a soldat!
Crazy, but it’s almost like parenting can make the environment safer!
Lemmy likes to portray Roblox the same way the 10pm news portrayed the Internet when I was in my preteens and teen years, like it was the wild west, everyone was a predator, etc. I let my kids hop on. Their friends include me, their mom (who has an account for some reason), each other, and the kids who live across the street. They like to play the platformers, and they invite me sometimes and we play them.
They’ll get older and they’ll go explore the internet the same way I did. I spent my adolescence and teen years eventually in AIM chat rooms, then forums, and thn Skyping random people, and somehow didn’t become a terrorist, didn’t get predated. I also am of the school of thought that you need to learn things on your own, rather than have no exposure to things that could potentially be bad.


All the bots on this site like to shit on Americans, “Why aren’t you doing something?!” And the answer to the stupid question is that individual actions are pointless and that if we wanted to do something, you need a rallying point.
This is that rallying point. This is the kind of movement you can get behind to tell the feds to fuck off. I’ve said it before, I served my time, and I’m not sure I’d serve the country again right now, but I would 100% serve New Jersey.


The US has given twice the aid as the entirety of the European Union.
So much same. I haven’t written many complete songs, soup to nuts, but I have dozens upon dozens of different tunes, from 8 bars out to a few minutes, and I know I’ve spent hours listening to them on repeat.
There’s just something really special about a song that kinda comes together on its own. Sometimes it felt like work, but sometimes the creative juices would flow and it was magical. Was similar with making mixes too, where I just felt which song should come next and didn’t put much thought into it.
Been a long while though, life is busy now. But it’s always there waiting for me to come back.


I’m curious to see the list for all the presidents.
I think blanket pardons need to be looked at perhaps in a different light, although as I say that I realize it would apply also to Jan 6ers, so maybe only blanket pardons for things I agree with. That’s how we do things nowadays right?


I dunno, I had a 2007 Nismo 350Z, #94, and that cr was sweet af. It may not have been representative of the brand as a whole.


New York is America’s financial core, and it’s now socialist. I think the entirety of the elections last night too are very telling. NJ flipped more blue. Virginia, blue. Just a measure of the pulse at the moment.


I’d love to hear it too, but I gotta knock 1000W off, though, typo. Or that’s the RMS, or thereabouts, so not totally inaccurate, just partially. It’s a converted detached garage, not a concert venue 😆.
It’s a 12", 200W, which in a 250sf room isn’t too bad though.


I am also a fan of the deep bass. Love feeling the music. I have some decent speakers, and the 1200W sub is a perfect low end for them.


I have a pretty decent setup and I also listen to records. They’re mainly a social activity though, get some guys over, everyone brings some records, we toss em on and hang around talking about them. There’s something “fun” about the physical media that isn’t captured by clicking a file on my computer.
I definitely also click the file more often than not.


Didn’t the Supreme Court basically say that if the president says it it’s not illegal? Kind of a Catch 22 for anyone involved. Glad I got out!
Except it’s the gate of the military base and there are procedures with dealing with these things. I get it. I don’t think you should just shoot anything, but there is a line. This was the entry to the base, to the bridge that gets you on the base. The bridge itself is sensitive, and obviously the base is. This wasn’t like cops unloading on a dude trying to get away because he’s got warrants out. I just feel like the potential for negative results was much higher.
And these were CG security, if my understanding is correct. This wasn’t Trump’s hit squad, these were the dudes who have been guarding the entry point to the base for as long as the base has been there. It’s literally their job, guard the entry.
I appreciate all your hypotheticals, but this real life situation is someone attempting to force entry onto a US military installation. That’s the real situation, and this is how that sort of behavior is dealt with across the globe.
I’m mad about ICE too, I’m just not sure what they have to do with this situation, other than the protest being nearby. I’m not sure how the base security are helping kidnappers and being Nazis, unless your beef is with the military. Shit, I’ll even say it’s okay to have some beef against the military and how they’ve been used, but the Coast Guard? I can’t think of any reason to hate on the Coast Guard.


Everyone else is wrong, you’re right!


I don’t know why, but I felt like I needed to look it up, and there’s not one single Independence Avenue in NJ. Independence Drive, Court, Road, Lane, but no Avenue.
I know you did it intentionally so as to not dox OP, really respectable shit.


I didn’t know what it was. An upon looking it up, Germans used it going back to the 1700s. It also looks cool so it’s a damn shame the Nazis ruined it, just like they ruined everything.
This is one of those razors, malice and incompetence, that one. Walk in tattoo parlor, they have pictures, you pick one. Know many Marines who did that very thing, though mainly women or eagles or some shit.
It happened to a US military base in a foreign nation, which, for all intents and purposes, is US soil. This truck was backing it’s way onto a US base, refused to comply with orders. It got EOF’d. I appreciate everyone wanting to hate ICE, I think they’re a bunch of bitches, but unless someone’s has some legit proof this is some sort of false flag or anything, this is pretty SOP.
October 23, 1983, two truck bombs killed 307, US/French servicemembers and civilians in Beirut.
Also was Coast Guard who opened fire, not ICE.
Fuck, 92 really?
