Never once have I even checked the tax rate of a state I’ve considered moving to. It has quite literally never once been a thought in my mind.

I've seen two groups of people that actually do this and it's american homesteaders where you sort of get if you wanna cut yourself off from civilization in large part all the other shit doesn't really matter anymore and also content creators / influencers with pretty much infinite moving potential just up-ending their bedroom studio to wherever currently lets them be with no taxes, like dubai.

Honestly I'm coming at this from specifically a mid-european-city-carbrain standpoint and I understand it entirely. I know I'm the guy with the hammer to whom everything looks like a nail but I still argue it is the exact same process of not ever considering how this surface level choice of convenience makes you both entirely beholden to like 3 large multinational corporations and also gives you the kind of brainworms that when that is taken away you think your life is over

on one hand reddit hands them out like candy because they seemingly don't have a threshold so every account that ever did one post in a subreddit is counted in perpetuity, on the other hand imagine ever posting in /r/criticaldrinker

40% of McDonald's global leadership has attended Hamburger University.[3]

I wondered if this was just "literally everyone in America and nobody else" but it turns out they got them all over the world:

The program currently has seven campuses worldwide in Oak Brook, Illinois; Tokyo, London, Sydney, Munich, São Paulo, and Shanghai, with an eighth campus scheduled to open in Moscow later this year [2015].

I guess the one in Moscow got shuttered.

Fuck McDonalds and all but on some level I think training the people who run your restaurants to run your restaurants isn't the worst idea, even societally. I'm not sure it works out like that IRL but it seems to be one way to counter the enshittification of public education by way of alleviating the idea that any bozo that got a business degree should instantly know how to run any business, if you get the idea

Can't believe they're now designing a rifle for the Afghan war. What is the likeliest next US war that isn't WW3 and the nukes start flying? I feel like this is going to end up with this first being fielded in Panama City lol

low bar to clear

 
  • Spur Cycle knockoffff
  • Crane Bell knockoff
  • 3-Tone Bell (never two tone)
  • Electronic or air pressure horn
  • Clown Horn

That's it, that's the list. Everything else is worthless, especially never buy a Knog Oi.

 

It's a disco elysium fancam made so well I consider that segment from 1:05 min onwards to be canon because it is so fucking good

 

Slogan from the german speaking left, now seemingly having largely fallen out of favor, for poking fun at the police and military

 

Haha yeah I'm a huge fan of glock. Runs pretty expensive tho, lol! But quality is worth it. Just joined a "shooters" ;) club. Also a great way to connect with my wife and daughters, to be honest, would've never expected it!

 

Listen, if I was in charge of $random_geopolitical_issue things would've gone a lot differently. Don't ask me what I would've done differently or, god forbid, how. It just would've. I would've done something to set right the injustices suffered by my nation. I am also going to weave and bob any question as to what specifically this would entail, on account of I am not educated enough to make this call, but my trusted advisory council of experts, of which I have 0 idea of how any of them got there or what their qualifications are, would've concocted up the solution that finally propels my state into the global hegemons and makes everybody love me.

 

You got your 5 basic senses; taste, sight, touch, smell and sound

and then you get further into it and there's like position.

And then you get further into it and there's like "position relative to your other positions, removed from everything else"

And then you get further into it and there's like "your hormones do something iunno"

And then, I propse, a bunch of Estonians stumbled upon even more advanced senses by way of inframaterialism. They fucking cracked the code on all the subconsciously influenced senses. They're all your senses filtered through your some parts of your uncionscousness. Shivers is the gut feeling you get when the bar fight turns sour. Esprit de Corps is when you notice your organisational circle acting out. These are common, human experiences!

 

So much of EDC seems to be centered around either surviving alone in the woods for days or alternatively using your tactical pen to stab a terrorist to death and John McClane the building. I'm John Suburban and my EDC includes a gun, a ferrorod and a tacpen with built in seatbelt slicer and window breaker (none of which I ever trained to use, but am assured will use competently after a flip over car crash into a body of water).

Which is a shame, because I think EDC stuff is cool. Little nifty tools! What do the denizens of this here website chapo.chat like for non chud EDC applications?

I'll start off with some favourites,

  • a small AA-powered flashlight by EOLite (self-explanatory I think)
  • a Gerber Dime (basically one of those small swiss army knives but the pliers are a nice touch for a lot of things, like not touching the garbage juice)
  • a keychain presta-to-schrader adapter to reinflate my bicycle tyres at any given gas station, should the need arise

Currently also building a bicycle EDC-Pouch where space isn't limited to pocket size, would love to hear what other people use.

 

I got one of those surly cornerbars (offbrand) and they're fucking great, would recommend to everyone. Easily the most comfy handlebars I've ever owned.

Also currently trying to piece together the perfect small size at most medium weight bicycle EDC pouch to chuck in my panniers so I can field repair my entire shit and also help other people.

Pretty sure I'll put some bar ends in there just to slap them into random bicycles so people don't core sample themselves. I am the velocipedal crusader, you will be saved from doctors having to extract a tubular 21mm cross section of yourself so they can figure out what the fuck you managed to lose because you didn't think to put 50 eurodollarcents of bar ends on your stuff.

 

Just basically anthing that isn't recreation, hobby, education for educations sake and such. Just your job and household chores, repairs, errands if they're not hobby related and such

Also it plays onto one of my major I-come-across-a-crank points, societally the trolley problem is solved: it's your fault for being tied to the tracks instead of driving the biggest trolley

It's funny. Here's some pointers off the current front page:

The FBI loses their shit over the Russian Admin of Z-Library taking a vacation

[Conceptualization] Easy - Failure: Tell them they can't have this. Make up a story about how giving away free things is making them afford lavish camping trimps in a bog. The people will rally around you.

Squee? Squee.

[Electrochemistry] Medium - Succes: Tell them about the knightly muscle mommy. The people will love to hear your thoughts. They all agree. They all want the muscle mommy knight, covered in the viscera of the enemy.
