Oh my gosh, I read almost everything but I must have skipped that tiny little paragraph!! How silly. I guess we’re all susceptible to failures to communicate. 🙃

…ah. Idk! Do you catch the dolphin & put it in a park with a few other dolphins? Do you cull it & call it a day? That’s tough. 😕

Your tone 🙄🙄🙄

Yes. I read it all. I particularly read this section here:

I don’t know that the actions are the same though. That’s sort of the point of the thing I posted. People like you are actually doing shit. What most people think of as ‘preppers’ are people who have a closet full of MREs, two giant jugs of water, and a massive guns and ammunition collection, people who tell you about how the world will end if Trump isn’t elected and they’re ready for it.

I think if those people were like you, even if they had stupid motivations, there wouldn’t be so much derision. But they don’t actually put the work in. They essentially think if they buy enough ammo and Jim Bakker rapture survival food buckets, they’re ready for every eventuality.

Perhaps you are correct that the popular definition has changed, much like the Greeks (hilariously) changed the definition of egregious through their use of sarcasm. But your understanding is just plain wrong, you are incorrect. Your downvotes mean nothing, I’ve seen what makes you cheer.

I see no need to rebrand to conform to ignorance & lack of understanding. If you would like to learn more about prepping, here are some channels you can look into. I’d also recommend looking at the Facebook group, The Phantom Planters. It’s prepping, kinda, but in a farming/growing way, whatever you want to call it. Perhaps you’ll be inspired to plant some fruit trees around Indiana. 🙂

…and yes, the timing is embarrassing on my end because Canadian Prepper just announced last night that he is building a bunker. But he presents lots of good information otherwise. You’ll probably like City Prepping more.

Pretty bold move, considering dolphins are hunted by the Japanese for their meat.

In any case, feelings aside, it might be good to specifically hunt & kill this one rogue dolphin. Animals get a taste for people, they tend to repeat, and hell dolphins are pretty smart who knows he might communicate to another dolphin “try eating humans, I did, they’re delicious”.

Your grandparents, and great-grandparents, were probably preppers. The ability to not be forced to prepare for hard(er) times is the real luxury.

Well, according to Gray Man theory, this is actually good that you don’t recognize. But no…that man you’re talking to is very clearly a prepper.

The best way I can tell you is prepping… is a rainbow. A varied spectrum of people, with many different beliefs & motivations. Actually, I guess we can compare it to the current Democrat Party! The crazy ones get all the attention, they make the news and everybody points at them and says, wow, that’s crazy. That’s too far. I can’t get behind that. It’s the same with preppers. You have preppers that prepare for “zombies”. Or, as you said, when everything collapses badly. There are many more preppers that are just sensibly preparing for very real scenarios. Stockpile a little today for a better tomorrow. A simpler, stronger life.

The real preppers, the best preppers, don’t just hoard; they incorporate their preps into daily living. It is a lifestyle. You have tools for working the land, tools to move stuff around, you build out the life you think you’ll want & need. Not just stored in a bunker, but to use next week. The zombie shit is really dumb, most of the products are cheap & low quality gimmicks. Probably because they know you’re a sucker, anyway. As Canadian Prepper says… eventually…all preppers become farmers.

I prep, in part, for short to longer term no-power scenarios. Those assholes up in Chicago threatened to cut off power to downstate…2-3 years ago?..and I never forgot that. I said, okay. Guess this is something I need to think about now. ¯\(°_o)/¯ Prepping is much like a UPS (Uninterruptible Power Supply). System fucks up, no power? Well I’m going to be okay for a while, anyway. This isn’t the exact article I read, but here’s a source, anyway. People don’t understand how dangerously fragile, old our power grid is. It is susceptible to attack by foreign entities, or simply overload during peak usage.

Calling preppers selfish, idk where in the ever-loving fuck these guys get off…if I don’t require assistance in an emergency, that’s more assistance that can be sent to other people in need. I’m actively preparing, spending my own time, money, and efforts to help myself and others. In Israel, everyone is required to have a safe room & 2 weeks of food, water in it. They have inspections! And don’t even get me started on Switzerland.

I love it when people who very clearly are not preppers put words in the mouths of preppers, loudly espouse the beliefs of preppers, and label them all as bad & selfish people. They talk about something they don’t actually understand.

The overall tone reeks of quiet arrogance, like a cologne. The smug accomplishment of…taking no action at all? It is ignorant. Disrespectful. Foolish. Enough of the comment section isn’t much better.

Disappointing, but not surprising.

It’s called money. 😆 And surgeries.

Kinda relevant

I just might, I mean good grief, we need something good that lasts.

I read the meme & I was like…what the hell’s wrong with Brave?? Good product IIRC.

I don’t use it anymore, only because it’s too niche (and isn’t it still basically Chrome, reskinned?). We can’t make enemies of every fucking browser because of every stupid little thing.

I’m now on Mozilla Firefox, partially because of this community & its push, and now I’m hearing “Mozilla bad, or will be bad, because advertisements”. 🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨🤨 Okay?? So who’s fucking good? Is anyone good? Can someone, somewhere, create a good & secure browser without issues?

You don’t need to speculate or theorize; they say exactly how they did it. I cut to the exact part of the video where it is succinctly explained.

You’ll also notice that, according to Ben/according to Israel/according to Hezbollah… they advertised that they were going to stop using phones & switch to pagers. In July. So people going on about “they could have done this all along” are wrong. It’s been since sometime in July. This July. Which makes this a very fast & even more effective military operation.

Yes, the shell company was set up 1.5 years ago. Date of sale, idk. But common sense: you need to sell your enemy the goods…and you need to know with relative certainty that the hardware is actively in use. So: since July.

You’re not wrong, but there is nothing like a truck bed. Of any size. It is so friggin practical, speaking as a man that has had access to pickup trucks but has only owned 5 cars as daily drivers…trying to finagle some big piece of shit into the cars for transport sucks. Especially anything of size that might not fit through the puny, stupid doors.

Yes, that fold-down backseat helps a lot with long, narrow items. But it’s still hardly a substitute for a truck bed.

I would love a machine like this, but without the lift & massive wheels. Seems unnecessary.

I’m going to counter with 2 distilled, oversimplified thoughts:

Happiness is a choice; most people can find a way to be happy in their lives with what they have.

People shouldn’t have children mainly to experience joy, be complete, or just because. That’s fucked up. I know people will fluff out a number of reasons if challenged, but I think you nailed it, and I think more than a few people have kids just to have kids.

Correct. That’s why I will NEVER buy brand new wireless earbuds from Apple, Samsung, or any other phone manufacturer. Oh, you took the aux port out of your phones? Go fuck yourself. I will not financially reward you for limiting my freedoms.

Currently I use Jabra Active 8s. The Jabra Active 10s are supposed to be so much better, but for the price, the 8s are just pretty good.

The thing is, it tastes good. It’s very smooth, the beans are cleaned & roasted in an oven for 20-28 mins. Ground. Then probably, likely mixed with boiling water unless you’re doing cold brew.

It’s very sanitary & idk as others say maybe it’s because the animals eat the best cherries & it’s got nothing to do with the digestion. In any case: it is tasty.

Noooo I forgot about Mr. Hands 😂😭

The guy only asked for $50K after they killed his wife. They’re trying all this batshit crazy nonsense to get out of paying $50,000.

That is a painfully low amount for killing someone, even to a layman. I could pay that if I had to, just not all at once.

To aggressively put it into perspective compared to Disney’s other costs of doing business, Disney is estimated to spend on average $95K per day on fireworks. Totaling $35M per year, up in smoke. Couldn’t be bothered to shell out $50K for killing somebody, though. ¯\(°_o)/¯ Their morals, priorities seem to be a little off.

Piracy, watching through a friend, BluRays & DVDs, hard copies & actually owning something as opposed to…perpetually renting access, owning nothing & being happy about it.
