SARGE

You first.

But seriously, it gets annoying, but at the same time it's the biggest scam on the fediverse right now that I know of. So I feel like a little visibility once in awhile (not 6 times a day) that lets people know about it is fine.

To anyone who knows: is there a way to filter out usernames containing that name? Like if I could block dms from my chosen instance, that'd be great. I've been getting 2-3 a week.

I've been constantly reminding my in-laws that they are proudly wearing "the mark" on their foreheads.

I'm not religious but it's hilarious to me how many things point to him being their antichrist, but they're plowing headfirst into it anyway.

This absolutely reeks of someone paying for a story to drive support to more heavily regulate ebikes

My ebike is heavy as shit (60-80lbs depending on the gear that's on it) and geared for mountain biking. I've had it die in the middle of a valley. I've had it die 60 miles from home on an admittedly much flatter trail. I've had ittrip the safety overheat while going uphill.

I've never not been able to pedal.

Unless the chain breaks (and even then, I have a chain tool and have cut out all my gears to make it single speed in an emergency before) Walking it may be less tiring minute-to-minute, but you'll regret not having the speed of the bike.

Also, protip: if you think you might need more than 30-60 miles of assistance, get a second battery if you don't think you can pedal it.

Also, my requirement for calling something an ebike is the ability to y'know... Be a bicycle. Otherwise it's an electric scooter/motorcycle depending on motor power. So if it's one of those, then sure you have to push it. But that's on you for not having a backup power plan. I've never met a dirt biker in the middle of nowhere that didn't have a gas can somewhere on the bike.

Exactly what I was thinking.

When you're cut off from any help, you ARE your own help. Don't wait for something unthinkable to happen, this person has made it clear they don't respect you or boundaries, and have made threats.

It's 9v1, if you're scared just wait until they're asleep. Kick them out the door, lock it, and they can try walking their happy ass back to civilization. from Antarctica

Don't bother looking for a body.

My wife bought a bunch of books to keep herself occupied at work

She wasn't able to choose a book to read next and ended up having a mild anxiety attack.

So I made a chart of books, gave her a d20, and once she finishes one series she rolls the die and reads whichever book she rolled, or rerolls if needed.

Shit like this is why I donate to Wikipedia.

Fuck off and die, nazi scum.

Well, he's not in prison for treason or anything related to classified documents being mishandled, soooooooo.......

Rule of law means nothing in the US anymore unless you're poor. If it mattered, we would have had different presidential candidates from the start.

If anyone still cares in the government, none of them care enough to actually do anything but stand by and watch. Maybe give a half-hearted "yeah way to take a stand" after the fact when someone gets dragged out of the room by the fascists.

Excellent domain name for your instance, by the way. Absolutely horrifying in just the right way.

almost complete immunity to any consequences for their actions.

legal immunity.

Fingers crossed more people wake the fuck up that nobody is coming to step in and save us, we have to do it ourselves.

We used to know how to fight dictators and fascism, but apparently all we can do now is protest, quietly, in our government mandated protest spot, miles away from anyone who can hear or see us. Anything else just wouldn't be proper.

This will be much less funny when it's the black bag squad roaming around in unmarked vans kidnapping people for not having Trump's mark on them.

I think you hit the nail on the head with that "you just read the title" and now they're mad for being called out.

Embarrassment can cause people to lash out in irrational ways.

I can tell you exactly how much every single one of those things is worth once their mansions are burned to the ground.

Well, here I go watching another couple hours of haka videos whose significance I probably don't fully grasp but always make me emotional when they're for someone who has passed.

They didn't have to learn this, but they did. They can't do much, but they do what they can.
