Zoom in on the sharpie text

Ngl this one had me too until I checked

During the rest of the year, florists or tulip traders, signed forward contracts before a notary to buy tulips at the end of the season… Tulip mania reached its peak during the winter of 1636–37, when some contracts were changing hands five times. No deliveries were ever made to fulfill these contracts, because in February 1637, tulip bulb contract prices collapsed abruptly and the trade of tulips ground to a halt.

Except unlike the Dutch who had a diverse trading economy and overseas empire, ours is crumbling and is largely underpinned on these massive speculative AI gambles on whatever Sam Altman says it will be worth in ten years time.

So very rational, much innovative market forces, totally different. Pay no attention to Blue Owl Capital’s $10 billion nervous flinch the other day, our data center economy is strong 💪

Valid crashout imo, do more of this and less berating workers

• See problem (as autistic as is it)
• Find solution to problem
• Make that solution available to all

But where’s the bigotry or value judgement in the meme?

Brokeback Mountain is essentially a love story, and this is clearly a photoshop homage to that - albeit used to needle Trump’s and his follower’s insecurities and/or homophobia. Which is entirely their issue to grapple with, absent the faces this is an otherwise entirely mundane and not at all obscene image.

If the image had Trump dressed in a ultra-gay stereotype like neon hair, rollerblades, short-shorts, and a “Got Dick?” crop top, you’d have more of a point. But there are, have been, and will be gay cowboys.

I hear you, and like you said it all depends on your scenario. Someone on a ranch compound with multiple buildings they need/want to check on versus a RV/boat living alone are dramatically different ends of the home defense spectrum.

Your scenario may be vastly different from mine or someone else’s - which is why I have a hard time giving universal advice. Pick your platform, and test it. See if it’ll will or will not work out at 3am when you’re carrying a frightened child back to your safe area, or if your long gun needs a sling added, or if that 33rd Glock magazine is actually kinda massive and gets in your way.

IIRC the bump stock was designed as an aid for veterans who had lost a limb to allow them to use a pistol one-handed.

The bump stock is derpy and just for simulating full auto. You’re thinking of the pistol brace that you strap to your arm - they both were in discussion for bans around the same era, that’s likely where you got them mixed up 🙂

Pistol braces are in a “legal but the ATF doesn’t like that fact” area atm. Tl; dr they made an interpretative rule change out of whole cloth, got slapped in the courts, and have a permanent stay on enforcing their rule change.

I have mixed feels on that 9mm v pump shotty for the home debate. Personally I’d argue for an AR over the shotgun, but that’s less universally legal and doesn’t have the same binary roadmap of “870 or 590, who cares” and the AR field is FILLED with vendor trash.

But. If it’ll literally never leave the house and you can shoot it, a 12 gauge pump beats the pistol every day imo. Pick a hallway/stairwell, and camp your chosen angle with said shotgun. Compared to a pistol it’s hands down better; shooting handguns quickly and accurately is HARD. The handgun gives up a stock, longer sight rib/radius, use of slugs, and a much better trigger without throwing money away.

The handgun’s primary benefit as a platform is concealment. That’s it. So if someone literally only has $600 and needs a catch all solution - police trade-in Glock 19/17, a real holster, and (plz please puleaze) a lockbox of some kind. If they can swing another $300 or so, then add on a shotgun.

“Hey, uhh your own chosen citation doesn’t support your argument” is trolling now? God I hope you don’t work in education or research 😂

You defending ‘words mean things’ whilst re-re-redefining trolling to mean ‘any kind of feedback I don’t like’ is precious

The Mar-a-Lago face is a uniquely Trumpian aesthetic, but it’s not exactly like the chief worm himself is taking efforts to also be healthy, let alone exude a vision of beauty. It’s performative for The Boss alone, because that’s the twisted vision of female beauty that Trump wants to look at whilst he eats himself into Holden Bloodfeast’s sluglike form.

But the hypocrisy and narcissism of these people quietly abusing GLP-1s is a new data point on a long trend line of image-obsessed fash. Publicly defending a child sex trafficker is a wild new escalation, especially for a party that robes itself in ‘family values’ and ‘god fearing’ politics.

Lemme just hate on a woman because of her appearance real quick, nvm her active child-rape apologia

You doing okay bro?

Please, take your time. Re-read (well, actually read it for the first time I guess) and tell me where I said ‘agentic’ was a fake word.

Your own citation did not have agentic in it. Agent <> agentic.

And you’re clinging hard to singular notion that because a mouth-sound with the same letter order existed nearly 200 years ago, it means the same thing as the modern usage
