I own several guns. I used to have a concealed carry permit because I traveled alone for work with expensive items. I let it lapse after I changed jobs. After sandy hook, I considered getting rid of all of my firearms because American gun culture started to disgust me. I mainly shoot air guns for plinking now. Haven't shot a firearm in years.
Now that maga has become such a presence, I'm considering getting a carry permit again. Gun culture still sucks. But, we can't let the crazies be the only ones who are armed.
The thing is, they don't know their being lied to. I think the big issue with many conservatives is that they are conditioned, basically from birth, to believe fantastical things as truth, without evidence. I.e. Bible stories as fact. Yes, Gabriel was swallowed by a whale. Of course Noah had all of the animals in the world on his boat. They learn to accept things at face value as long as it sounds good to them. This requires no critical thinking.
This is how you get otherwise intelligent people who believe right wing myths like high school kids identifying as cats and requiring litter boxes. They will believe anything as long as it confirms their biases. Belief = truth. I believe it, therefore it is true. It's this simple to them. You can present all the evidence in the world to counter any one of their ridiculous conspiracy theories, but they will never change. Because, to them, belief = truth.
Cakewalk has been around for decades. It was a popular paid daw in the late 90s and 2000s. It became free a few years ago. Haven't used it lately. But, used it a lot many years ago. It was a top daw back in its day. I hear it's still pretty good.
My parents used to keep bread in the fridge and I hated it. It always sapped the moisture from the edges and made it stale. I don't know what kind of bread you buy, but mine stays fresh for a very long time on the counter.
Imo, freezing bread is the better option if you want to preserve it for long periods.
I paid for premium until I started getting ads out of nowhere. YouTube changed their policy to include ads in my previously ad-free package.
I cancelled and started using smartTube f-droid. It has sponsor block integrated. Auto-skips all ads, not just the ones injected by YouTube.
We used to plink .22 rimfire at my mom's house every Sunday. We have a 35 yard range off the back porch.
After Sandy Hook, .22 rimfire became scarce for a long time. We ended up switching to airguns and haven't looked back. We have just as much fun, spend much less money and don't disturb the neighbors.
I haven't shot my firearms in years.
I saw it Saturday and there were maybe 8 others in the theater at a 6pm showing.
Movie was mediocre at best. I hated that so much green screen and CGI was used for the car battles. Story was lacking as well. Characters went nowhere.
I really like AOC. She's extremely smart and capable. But, like Hillary, she's going to have the entire right-wing lobbing ridiculous conspiratorial accusations at her. Unfortunately, it will stick to a lot of low IQ Dems. Just like the 30 years of stupid conspiracies helped tank Hillary.
The hate for AOC is too high. I think she would be a great president. I just don't think enough people will vote for her because of the toxicity that has been created around her by the right.
thanks for using Leebra!
