Okay, so what?
Nazis have human rights, despite arguing against the human rights of other people.
This is very much a whataboutism argument; you're redirecting credible and at least partially verified claims about China's misconduct back onto the victims of their misconduct.
"Gunslinger" is largely going to be after 1865, after the US Civil War. Revolvers as we know them in the old west only existed after the 1850s. The first revolvers that you would call a revolver would be about 1835. So you don't really have the overlap for French privateer, unless it's a former privateer.
Juggalos have always been weirdly wholesome and okay as people. Yeah, it's a weird subculture to me. But not bad. The biggest negative I can say about the juggalos that I've met is that they all want to talk about ICP and marijuana all the time. But they treat people decently, and seem to be fairly progressive. I can live with that.
The overwhelming majority of gun crimes are committed in relation to the drug trade, and otherwise ordinary crime. This isn't a demographic that's collecting guns; they're using what they have access to. Meanwhile, I know tons of people that have multiple AR-15s, all configured differently, for different purposes. One for a basic two gun competition, one for home defense, one for a night match (usually with a suppressor; they're great for minimizing smoke), and so on.
I'm personally likely in the top 1% or so of gun owners, because I have >10 firearms, plus a progressive reloading press. There are three that I use regularly, and some that I never use because they're antiques.
Doesn't bother me; it's 2 minutes to spray it on, and then re-apply every hour that I'm outside. As long as I'm wearing a hat to shade my face, I don't have to worry about putting any on my face, and then sweating it into my eyes.
Doing hard manual labor in the mid-day sun at the height of summer though? That's def. unpleasant as fuck. I can do 2-5 hours, and then I'm just done for the day. I don't know how some people can do that for eight hours a day, day in and day out.
FWIW, feelings on tickling is very split; recipients seem to either love it or hate it, with no in between. Tickling, in a BDSM scene, is absolutely torture, and can be very triggering for some people. Some people can enjoy light tickling in a sensual/erotic manner, and still hate tickling as the primary form of sensation play in a scene.
I am definitely on the sadistic end of that spectrum.
If you try it, set up some kind non-verbal safe signal beforehand, because you may not be able to get words out.
Assuming consent on all fronts, and some kind of safe signal?
Tickle.
IME that ends up being strangely harder on a sub and something that can go on longer--with breaks!--than e.g. caning, flogs, etc. If you go too long with a silicone slapper, you can take skin off; to long/hard with a cane, and you're causing hematomas. Too long tickling? No physical harm done (as long as they don't, say, dislocate a shoulder; be careful with how you tie people up, folks!), although a sub might pee the bed, or be laughing so hard that they can't breathe. That means that you can turn around and do it again the next day. Combine being restrained and blindfolded with sound-isolating earbuds so that a sub can't tell where you are, and intersperse the tickling with sensual touch, and you can have a sub dreading your touch, flinching at nothing, and drag it out for an hour or more.
I'd remove the gag though; tickling combined with a gag can obstruct breathing.
(Not everyone is ticklish though. IME people that tend towards anxiety have a much stronger reaction to tickling.)
You are technically correct that most people that call themselves atheists are agnostics. But that's a little like saying that .999999999999999999 is 1; it's close enough that it's not going to make a difference in almost all cases.
If you have empirical, verifiable, falsifiable evidence that a god exists, then most atheists will change their opinion. A person that believes in a god believes despite a complete lack of evidence.
It's not that an atheist is saying, "I know your religion is wrong"; it's much closer to, "you have not presented any falsifiable evidence that your religion is correct.
There is currently no way to know.
It's true that you can't prove a negative. On the other hand, no evidence exists that would tend to prove that a god exists. The lack of evidence is quite damning, particularly since people have been trying to demonstrate the existence of a god for well over 8000 years. Miracles have almost entirely ceased in the age of forensics, modern medicine, and photography; it's almost like they only exist when they can't be documented.
I love WEARING SUNGLASSES.

Jesus christ dude, if you get yourself into some kind of shape that isn't round, you aren't going to have these problems.
You misunderstand. Before tetraethyl lead was removed from gas--in the 70s, I think?--engines were not nearly as good as they are now. My dad was doing really, really well to get 100,000 miles out of a car in the 60s and 70s; you used to see a service station attached to every single gas station, because of how much service cars needed. Now, 200,000 miles is close to the minimum that people would expect with only preventative maintenance. It's nearly unheard of for people to need to replace valves and regrind valve seat now, except for high compression, high RPM engines (esp. supersport motorcycles). But that was just normal before the mid-70s. My dad has done multiple full teardowns on engines before the 80s, replacing head gaskets, piston rings, valves, and so on. These days that's almost unheard of.
I think that the most intensive valve maintenance that I'm aware of that's common right now is cleaning carbon off for some of the direct injection engines. I know that it's an issue with Volkswagon cars, but most cars don't do DI. You'd have to check technical service bulletins (TSBs), but most cars are very trouble free compared to what you could expect prior to the 80s.
I can't afford it. Simple as.
I've gotten several quotes. It would cost me about $15,000 to install a system, and that's after incentives and rebates. I don't air condition in the summer except the bedroom, at night--it only rarely gets above 85F inside at night--and I heat with a wood stove in the winter, with a propane central heater for the relatively few days when a stove can't keep the inside of the cabin warm enough. So it would take me years to capitalize the costs. On top of that, I'd have to extensively renovate to insulate what I can in order to really see benefits from a heat pump.
Yeah, I want to. I'd love to. If I move out to northern Nevada--my dream---I will absolutely install a small solar farm and do a heat pump. But where I am, right now? Ain't feasible.
Disagree; most people that work outside are still working for a wage, and OT pay kicks in once you break 40 hours in a week. That limits most places to 8 hours, unless you're talking about undocumented immigrants that don't have any labor protections, or people that are self-employed in some way.
