It has an endorphin release and people get addicted.

No. I didn’t say you weren’t a prepper unless you did specific things. Some peppers do just fill a cabinet with guns and call it a day. But seeing as how much of a prepper someone is completely due to how prepared they are, the ones with seeds, animal husbandry skills, water management, air filtration, renewables, are obviously more of a prepper than man with lots of ammunition.

Haha fair enough.

Most real peppers DO do this stuff.

There isn’t anything inherently wrong with having a properly built bunker with all the food and stuff you need.

I agree there are a lot of right wing nutjobs with more guns than gardening tools, but you’re being pretty uncharitable to a very broad hobby that includes just as many hippies and leftish people ready to help their local communities.

Preparedness is something everyone should have, so that when the store shelves empty at the start of the pandemic, no one is concerned about their lack of toilet paper or feeding their kids.

No, that’s the idea. But that’s also why we see very little eco terrorism. No one can handle losing what we have. Even if it is necessary.

Field Marshal Charles III, King of the United Kingdom and the 14 realms, Lord of Mann, Master of the Arts, defender of the faith, Admiral of the Fleet, is what his friends call him.

Wild. I always thought he seemed fine. Pretty self-aware and just Canadian.

Wow really? What do you find annoying about him?

YouTube is far from the only video hosting site, and far from the only way to do it. Peertube, Vimeo, Patreon, Floatplane, Nebula, bitchute to name some examples of sites already set up, with monetisation, with youtube creators actively posting on them. Twitch rivals like Kick and Rumble could also absolutely pivot into taking YTs market share too

Yep

Why would I pay YouTube that when I can give it directly to the creators though. I’ll just adblock and not put money in the hands of Google, while helping the creators more.

Thursdays, Redwing, Nicks, Whites

Wicked, they look wouldn’t look out of place in Back to the Future

Please look into Nicks or Whites or traditional bootmakers. They will give you indestructible boots in all of the wide sizes. More expensive upfront but you can give them to your grandchildren if you do minimal care and pay the $50 to have them resoled as needed.

My understanding is a lot of them. The majority of restaurants in the Michelin guide certaintly are British cuisine. The stars, I’m not so sure. I would say there isn’t really any reason to be xenophobic or racist to anyone.

Except it isn’t though. You have shitty fast food like the rest of the world, but we also have Michelin star restaurants too. This is just yet another excuse for people to be xenophobic to the British.

Not sure I’m taking anything hard right now. Like I said I’m not a terminally online lefty so I’ve missed whatever passive aggressive thing you were going for.

Is that a shot at me? I’m pretty sure I can’t be contrarian if my opinion is the vastly more mainstream one. Most people don’t advocate political violence like that. I’m not sure a lefty can be the one calling people crusty, it’s your end of the aisle pioneering that state of being. And I’m not old, sorry.

Outdated definition, now it’s used for people pretending to be something they’re not more generally. Right wingers getting into camo and doing drill pretending to be military. Terminally online left wingers pretending they could punch a nazi or start a revolution.
