1991, with Limbaugh really gaining popularity. Conservative radio had found the secret sauce and this was arguably the first big win. The goals were certainly fascist.

I’m from a particularly backwards place. Thinking back on it, this may be when the big change started happening.

I think I would point to 9-11 2001 as the actual tipping point.

That’s been a minute.

I remember kids in my school wearing shirts with tanks running over Saddam with the caption, “Help, I’ve fallen and I can’t get up.” I remember how happy my mother was about it.

It’s been a long time since I read the book, but I remeber it being medicore late golden era. Hubbard had no understanding of radiation and his characters tended to be good or evil without a lot of nuance.

*Hubbard/Herbert

Yes, but I would recommend being fucked up and in the company of others.

Don’t go there alone or you will only find sadness and anger.

Yeah, drunk or stoned with a group of SF nerds shit talking it would be a fun party, actually.

It’s a terrible movie. Verges on so bad it’s good. Uses more dutch angles than a crooked windmill.

Book was mediocre with a Mary Sue main that had Goodboy for a last name.

Rock and roll. I’ve seen bad things happen when someone decides it’s a good idea to modernize a PC based CNC control. (I hate PC based controls). They get their own little fence to live inside where it’s always 1999.

Yup. I’m teaching my son CAD/CAM with a 3d printer, low level programming and electronics with Arduino, he helps with mechanical and electrical repairs. Linux with the home server. Fishing, hunting, and camping. Wasn’t ready this year for steers or chickens but hopefully will next year. Wife is teaching him how to cook, (I’m a decent cook, but she is amazing). Simple sewing. Basic carpentry. And so on.

School isn’t going to teach him much of this, but we will.

At least the lathe isn’t running punch tape.

Don’t upgrade or mess with the control. Disconnect from the network if it’s on it. It should have RS-232. Throw a Pi or other SBC that does serial and a 12V level shifter; use that to feed it programs.

Also, make an image of the hard drive if it has one and start looking for a spare drive on ebay.

It’s wincest. Especially if it features little people.

Whoa. I haven’t heard of Pervertube. I have specific tastes involving a dirty mattress with no sheet or at least one overflowing ashtray.

NEW PORN!!!1!!!1!!!

Not OP, but I was unaware of that. That must have caused most all the AIDS that was caught through transfusions.

I personally have no problem with bald eagles, 25¢ eggs, and short bottom shorts on blondes.

Maybe Kamala should have used that as her platform.

Yeah, it’s pretty much the cervid version of Mad Cow. Affects whitetail, mule, moose, elk, maybe some Asian deer. Current research is pointing to it not being human transmissible but they have had lab transmission in primates with direct neuro tissue transfer. It’s highly infectious and stays in the ground for years.

Captive deer lick noses through the fence with wild deer and greatly helped the spread.

Farmed cervids are why CWD (Chronic Wasting Disease) is a thing. It’s a prion disease. Farmed venison has a high probability of being CWD positive.

It’s called a high fence operation. Rich fucks actually pay for a canned hunt inside the fence so they get a big antlered wall hanger.

Myself and my family like to eat does. Curbs population faster and tends to be better meat. We live in a county that is overpopulated with white tail.

820,000 bananas rough estimate. Given a bungalow, including attic crawlspace, at 4500 cubic feet and a banana at .00551 cubic feet each.

This assumes the bananas have been blended or will squish and remove all gaps.

Well, dawg, I’ve spent most of my life living in a completely different world than most posters on Lemmy.

And yes, I hunt, fish, eat meat, drive a truck, have a beard. I also talk funny. I have castrated calves. Been backup in large deals. Dealt with thieving meth heads. Done amateur surgery.

I don’t live in my mother’s urban basement eating chicken tendies.

But yeah, that’s my white squirrel.

Yes. It’s cruel, but if you pushed him far enough, he would be committed. Op hasn’t been able to get effective help from the government/social system.

Sounds like he’s older and there are physically stronger people in OPs house so if it escalated, they can defend without much trouble.

Cancer mom beats schizophrenic neighbor. If causing the neighbor to decompensate gets her peace, so be it. This is not a difficult ethical problem, the expedient solution is just illegal.

I’ve done and will do a whole lot to take care of my loved ones. Society sure isn’t.

I’m being downvoted to hell for it, but I’ve done similar things in the past. I’m used to corrupt ineffective cops, sometimes you just have fix shit and be done with it.

IDK, it’s redneck but a quick frame up would at least end the noise.
