It’s like anything else, for every annoying or pushy christian you hear about there’s dozens of others doing their thing and not bothering anyone.

And it varies church to church too, with some really wanting to get out into the community and others keeping to themselves but welcoming people who are curious when they come to them.

People downvote, but you’re not wrong and it’s probably the most common example in rural areas

Idk how common it was but it’s a good example of a “third place”. A spot that isn’t work or home where you can meet and socialize

First time I heard it. I doubt Seed stopped production but maybe the place you ordered from decided to not stock any more at the moment? Odd.

You can have an epic bossfight!

Bob Long’s weather reports are peak

Yep one of my favorites is out of Akron Ohio! TheSummit.FM

It’s the only station I know that takes time to actuall play local music. They also have shows like “Cruisin’ the Decades” with music from the 30s to now. That is now played on a whole ton of other stations nationwide including shortwave. Then there’s “The Ongoing History of New Music” which only aired in Canada until they discovered it and picked it up.

Publicly funded, little to no ads and NO MORNING TALK SHOW!

That’s what podcasts are for

Unless you start running pirate radio or open a radio station of your own

MARCO!

For having a dedicated topo setup I would recommend OSMand. CoMaps/OrganicMaps does contour lines too but you can configure things way more in OSMand and it makes a huge difference. I have both apps so here are screenshots of the same place to compare

I have one sitting next to me right now! Good battery life and surprisingly good range for such a tiny node. Just don’t lose those fancy charging cables!

If you don’t want to use a phone because of privacy concerns there are also stand alone meshtastic devices with blackberry style keyboards too

I love ones that make it seems like you’re talking down to a kid

Flapjack, doof, pipsqueak, piece (as in “you piece”), dingodile, jackwagon etc.

Shit and fuck are just spicy filler words anymore so you gotta switch it up

Yes you are both correct, I’ll fix myself

Yeah, but have you seen some of our distopian level parking lots?

There was a pilrimage/challenge a friend of mine went on. It was walking 20 miles each day for 3 days for a total of 60 mi/96.5 km. That was in upstate NY where there are plenty of hills to keep it interesting

Blisters, chafing and fatigue is common but many people do that every year

My great grandparents immigrated from Eastern Europe to the US. My Grandma told us about the time one of their relatives came to visit them. She remembers that he almost never took off his shoes, even when sleeping. They asked him about it and he said it was to run out the back door if the secret police came. He was amazed that nobody else in the family did the same, and then even more amazed to learn that nobody HAD to

This would work well on AskUSA

Learning the manual of arms (procedure of loading, firing, unloading a type of firearm) is a YouTube video away and isn’t hard. If you can use a drill, a stapler or a nerf gun you can figure out how to make a gun go bang.

The difficult part is technique that makes the bullets go where you want them to. Shooting fast is easy, just mag dump in a general direction and you’ll eventually hit something. Shooting slowly and accurately is way more effective and responsible. Basic marksmanship takes a bit of practice to hone but anyone can do it, including you reading this.

But shooting fast AND accurate is a skill that takes consistent practice to hone and keep. That’s what makes competitons like USPSA so challenging

Reading is always good, and waay better than scrolling. Audiobooks/podcasts are also cool and if you can’t fully commit yourself to writing maybe just jot down an outline to flesh out later
