Carolinian. Former combat engineer. Current before cure tire repairman.

Not to get to serious but whatever the law says the real age of adulthood is when people have access to unsupervised free time and employment enough to have a few dollars for porn, alcohol, sex, tobacco, guns, or insert adult item/activity here. I don’t know that anything can really be done to change that reality other than raising them to know how to make responsible decisions themselves without supervision.

Who didn’t have a dirty paperback or magazine hidden in the woods in a waterproofish container at that age? I certainly did.

Finally set up zapplepay. Guess I’ll be sending sats on everything I react to now.

I don’t know if making sure myself and undoubtedly millions of other Americans never get another vaccine was the goal but if it was he succeeded.

Don’t tell anyone but I’m 35 years old and still can’t tie my shoes the way everyone else does. I was having trouble with it and my dad taught me a different way. I still do it that way. I have trouble with ties to. At basic I made sure to be in front and have my tie used as a demonstration tie for how to tie the knot when we got our dress uniforms. That knot stayed in my tie for the next 6 years. Well it’s probably still in it wherever the tie is.

These days. I shudder to think what 21 year old me would have said/done if my battalion was mobilized for martial law and the right justifications were provided.

Maybe it’s because I was partially raised by my grandparents who were raised by people who lived through reconstruction but the idea of martial law under any circumstances has always bothered me.

Used waygu tallow the last time I made burgers. Best burgers I ever made. Of course this was also hamburger meat from the half a cow we bought from my sister’s next door neighbor. He runs half a dozen head. Might have been that as well.

I’m not sure how I made it out of my teens if he is correct. Spent a lot of time during summer break setting property corners in subdivisions being built while it was that hot. By setting property corners I mean using a hammer to put pieces of #5 rebar in the ground. I’ll grant it was work for 10 minutes take a break for 10 minutes but I was still out in that heat for 10 hours. When I wasn’t doing that I was in the woods or a swamp somewhere cutting line with a bush axe.

All of that was preferable to being on lake parcel doing a boundary at 8am in December catching an off shore breeze when it’s already in the low 30s.

You might not benefit from the thing with Ukraine and Russia. Probably don’t but the system that enables the government to have the wherewithal to place itself in that situation? We all do. Some more and for longer than others of course.

When you say "I stand with Ukraine" at this point this is what you are "standing with". Random young men abducted on the street, thrown into a vehicle, forced into service, given a few weeks of training at best, then sent to the front as fodder. Whole new level of voluntold.

This is all so we can deplete weapons stores, gain battle testing against an advanced force and Raytheon, Lockheed, et. all can make trillions selling more weapons to the government paid for of course with stolen tax dollars.

Not one fuckin thing your TV tells you about the Russo-Ukraine war is accurate, not one.

It’s different when the government does it. Or something like that.

Three cheers for getting paid to sit around because the power went out last night and they still don’t have all the equipment back running.
