Not only can you say it, you can get temperate responses and arguments on the subject and not the person. Sure, we have to deal with some absolutists like on .mil, but after a few weeks of blocking the bad actors, this is a really refreshing environment.

Edit: and to OP on .ml, that wasn’t against you. Be sure to search around for areas that interest you, it can be sparse but there are some real gems here.

I’ve started making claim email chains with the state ombudsman cc’d in the first email. Saves so much time.

That’s correct. Everyone here making six figures will have some form of asset they could cash in if the chips came down. I sometimes feel underwater, but if I made painful cuts, I could survive. Real Americans are living day to day knowing if things get bad, they might have to sell more blood.

Every drop of water makes the river, don’t forget you’re a part of the world, and you’re important, even if it doesn’t always feel that way.

Security through obscurity was believed to work, every automated oil rig in the gulf was operating in the clear even into the 2000’s.

Wild times.

Since 9/11 they’re generally locked off from the public in the US. I attended some mass casualty and terrorism training and we talked with someone who ran their city water and sewer. He had a neat plan to radiate the city water system he helped them defend against.

Fucking our sharks, you mean.

Mostly I try to make people laugh, but more of an awkward laugh.

Well that’s just, like, your opinion, man.

“Stupid Piece of Shit” is great for asking people if this is how they think. Some people don’t know they have depression from critical thinking.

Trump body pillow.

I saw a guy living in a Maxwell Tent under a bridge. Makes you think.

Betting there’s a contest for it at Defcon 2026

I’ve always had a theory that in the lower classes, tattoos also served as a form of displayed wealth. As in, “I can spend $750 to decorate my arm,” which can be a lot of money in some circles.

Imagine building it in the Hague.
