Blocked from posting on lopsided posts. The system wants to demonize half the population and infantilize the other. I’ll post when it draws a crowd. Why waste the forums I’m not blocked from. Uncomfortable truths are free.

    $20 gas gets me much, much, much further than $20 in eating high carb prepared food when riding my bike between point A and B. Not fuel efficient, in fact, energy expensive, but it is over all cheaper than a car if you can handle the potential physical abuse of riding a quarter mile up hill to your house. I did this last year while my car was in the shop, I learned I lived at the top of a hill, in the middle of a valley. Lost around 14lbs in a week just running errands, and I was carb loading like crazy. Carbs, meat, sugars, and tons of water. Riding a bike is all laughs and giggles until you’re doing it to get meat and milk to fuel your required errands and despite eating everything in sight you’re still losing weight at a shocking pace… They had my car a month, I was able to hold out on most errands until around just before the final week, went from 179, to 165. Kept eating as I felt I needed and was back up to 175 in about a week after getting my car back, and with recent exercise and pushing myself I dropped to 169 while increasing my max weight, it’s really only surprising when you find I was 280ish lbs just 6 yrs ago… I digress, bikes are tough on the body.


  • We as Citizens need to start acting like this is our damn country, and we deserve to have a minimum quality of life that isn’t garbage, just for being citizens, not even for working 40hrs a week at slave wages while billionaires make themselves incrementally into trillionaires. We deserve healthcare we can afford, we deserve housing we can afford, we deserve vehicles we can afford and don’t break down with planned obsolescence constantly. The rich deserve equal return on their investment to the effort they put into it. I don’t know exactly how that looks because I want retirement funds, and investments for the average person to actually pay, while the investments for the rich pay them enough to barely keep their quality of life. Probably caps on annual returns would do it, if the rich suddenly CAN’T take more from the stock market, then it goes to the poor’s cuz it has to go someplace. Is what I’m saying anti capitalism? No more than bailouts for failed businesses that cause recessions and giving their executives golden parachute leave packages, so anyone against it but for bailouts, isn’t a capitalist either. Giving capital to failed businesses is the antithesis of capitalism.


  • I quit streaming services around 4 months ago, determined the exact maximum streaming quality every device I own can handle, used a $60 used office PC from craigslist, admittedly I haven’t fully figured out how to get subtitles to work without transcoding, but I just need to sit down and figure it out at some point. I direct stream all of my content from a 10+ yr old PC and it uses less than 5% cpu while watching a 4k movie. I could stream to easily 5-10 PC’s and still likely be able to do software maintenance on the PC at the same time. That and with how jellyfin looks like a streaming service, with no transcoding it’s better than any streaming service. Nearly every streaming service you use is transcoding on the fly instead of storing 20versions of each video for direct streaming, direct streaming a previously encoded asset will always deliver a higher quality viewing experience.





  • Russia literally started it when they invaded the first time. Trump would lose his mind if we lost even the tip of Florida to mexico… Seems inane to me, don’t make shit up that’s obviously a lie. Tell it like it is he thinks “Ukraine would be better under a united Russian federation.” That’s it. That’s what Putin wants. For a tiny man Putin sure has swung a big metal dick around. Genuinely wonder what would happen now that he’s old, if one of the younger, stronger, physically better, nation leaders wooped his ass in a meeting, like, tazed him, took any poison you know the bastard is carrying. Let him recover. Then woop the ever loving piss out of the ol vinegar bucket. Make him cry uncle and don’t stop until he does. Sure he’s a little man with a little sensitive ego, who would start a war for such an encroachment, but what would happen if you just kept woopin until he pleaded, and swore no wars would take place? I bet he would keep to his word if you brought him to tears, he’s never been wooped like that really, no scars to show like John McCain had from actually being hurt, and Putin’s had spy training so at least some level of training against torture, so crying would likely be about the point you shatter his rotator cuff in an arm bar while belittling him for being so weak… But if not you just start grabbing parts of his body and bending it the wrong direction until the job is done, he claims “he’s old and fell down the stairs” like Mitch McConnel keeps doing, and the public moves on. I’m just sayins all, he’s an old constipated bitch, your belly shouldnt distend like that if you aren’t fat, and you definitely don’t have abs if your belly distends like that… So poop. Half his weight in pure, backed up, shit. I bet most teenagers could probably take him in a fair fight. Maybe if the poverty rate in Russia wasn’t so high he could have gotten Ukraine to rejoin on their own for the merits it included, but looks to me like Russia wanted the mineral rights that trump tried to trade for.

    I usually put my cart away if the parking lot is full. Otherwise, that’s what they pay the cart wranglers for, to wrangle stray carts. I even used to work at Kmart decades ago as a cashier and wrangled charts when the lines died down, so if the lots not full, and the employees are paid to recover the carts and as I know, it’s a nice break to wander the parking lot instead of ringing people up, idk who is really upset about carts being left to their own devices… It does suck when the wind blows a cart into you or your car, but that’s pretty rare… I do make sure my cart doesn’t just roll off when I’m done, no need to send a cart missile careening across the parking lot, but otherwise I’ve never seen a good reason to not leave your shopping cart in an empty lot.



  • While this is hilarious, likely because it’s true. Dudes going after SSRI’s. SSRI’s saved my life. AND after using them for years I simply slowly reduced my dosage over about a month and I was off them and now only use them as an emergency pill if something really stressful or bad happens it keeps me from getting too emotionally raw and ragged. I have a supply to likely last me years so this doesn’t impact me. It worries me for the people the SSRI’s could help, but he wants to keep the drugs a way from.



  • There is groups of people that will out right ruin your life because they believe it somehow improves their own. But they are statistically a very small portion of the population. So long as you avoid the " energy vampires" and stick to the Normie’s, you are likely fine to go out and make friends just; shower, manscape/ladyscape, be friendly, and people will likely respond to you positively. However; if you are out being curteous, friendly, generally positive, and people are reacting negatively, congrats you found energy vampires. If it keeps happening you are being hunted by energy vampires. If it only happens around certain friends, those friends at best are energy vampire familiars and they are dragging you to be fed on. Be aware, and always keep in mind nothing is stopping you from leaving. I’ve known more than a handful of people including myself that decided it was better and safer to just walk 20-30miles in the middle of the night rather than enduring the people they were with. It may not be fun to do all that walking, but spending energy on a easy exercise like walking is better than spending emotional energy on people that just want to hurt you to get a buzz.




  • As a person that once dated a person that had an actual psychotic break, beat me up cuz I wouldn’t fight back, tried to beat the police up, and pretty much ruined my happy days for awhile… I would need to know the inmates criminal history, and their mental history, I mean I could date a federal inmate if they were in for embezzlement, or theft of 10k or more if it was from a non corporate entity, but “I tried to kill my husband with a knife”. Naw I’m good.



  • Socially I quit Facebook back when it was Facebook, when I was just starting to have extreme anxiety attacks because of repressed memories from my childhood and the people I had considered friends started spreading libelous claims behind my back and the fallout was either being unfriended by people that had been relatively close friends, and posts that I commented on became barren dessert’s, it was obvious people were isolating me out, what I didn’t know until much later, was that people were telling them I was a danger to others in whatever specific way would freak them out to make them isolate me. For instance some women were told I would sexually assault them if we were ever alone if they were particularly afraid of that, or they would say I would rape their kid’s if I had alone time with them. The weirdest was that I like to rape old ladies because I like the texture of their paper thin skin. Weird fucking shit from very sick, demented minds. I was already having anxiety attacks because of having my face bashed in when I was 2yo by a cop, intentionally. So being further abused on Facebook was a no brainer on things I won’t partake in. The truth is I wasn’t a danger to anyone, but I know who it was saying those things about me, the police in my old town know who they are and they did nothing. I am definitely a danger to those people now. But I’m states away, so how much damage could Lil ol me really cause with a 3/4in thick, 6ft titanium rod…
