If I ever get something like this, I'm going to use it til the wheels come off
Sometimes I like to crop reddit posts for one reason or another. I'm not sure why, but I'm sure it was warranted
The secret ingredient is crime.
I'd like to take a second and give you the straight dick. Things are getting hot and heavy, please go out and get a gun. Don't let these fuck-heads take you without a fight.
I'm not condoning vigilante mayhem. I'm saying prepared to defend yourself. Stop putting it off. And for the love of god, follow your local gun laws.
If you're not American, please know that I'm deeply ashamed of all of this. Please don't visit us. Go to Ireland, it's so much nicer.

#9 This story appears nearly verbatim in an Australian context in Bill Bryson's excellent 2000 book, "In A Sunburned Country".

Nearly verbatim is a fun phrase.

#3 they should have been yelling when the aunt tried to tell her what was "appropriate" for HER freaking day. I hate families like this so damn much.

I'd tell that aunt to fuck off so fast lol

#2 why shouldn't people use it?! To preserve its "value"? I'd use the shit out of that and I'd confuse my wow friends by saying that I'm using my blueberry to cook food (warlocks have this one demon minion called a voidwalker and they're commonly called blueberries because they're blue and round and we find them cute). I'd vibe so hard with that thing.

Definitely watered down, and/or from a mix instead of the actual various liquors.

Also if it's a Catholic church it only has the ones with Jesus on it, and if it's a Protestant church it only has the ones without Jesus.

W11 has a default setting where everything you save gets backed up to OneDrive (their cloud service) - which has a 5GB limit for free MS accounts.
I don't remember where the setting is, but you can turn that syncing OFF. It was real easy for me to both find online and to implement, though, and I'm your basic end-user.
De-syncing will fix this instantly. Assuming it's OneDrive storage that is giving you these messages all the time. (If you're filling up 1TB+ hard drives, that's a you problem.)

#13 - DE-SYNC OneDrive from everything. Especially "My Documents", but, just to be safe, everything.
Win 11 has them sync by default, automatically backing up every file you save to their cloud storage, OneDrive. But you only have 5 GB of storage, there, if your Microsoft account is a free one. This fills fast, especially with images or videos.
I do not remember where in the settings you de-sync them, but it wasn't hard for me to look up OR to do, and everything has been fantastic since.

Sure it does, it's a nice distraction to watch while munching down the ice cubes

This is a shameful idea, you should be slow roasting your kids at 325 for 3-4 hours if you want the job done right.
noWhiteHorseHereJustBatturuPrinsu
With peanut butter. Not because of the taste but because it's a great lure to get them into the oven.

No gun for me. I get the Black Thoughts too much, I'd be even less likely to survive with one than without.
Totally endorse the message overall, but I'm putting this out there because mental health is a bitch for a lot of us. Especially right now, for obvious reasons.

I recently got a new teaser and stun gun. I should not have a gun

Ny safe law mean I can't get a gun cause I once wore the grippy socks. For the best. I got other ways to resit fascism

If you smear a little Tabasco sauce around the muzzle, it'll teach you to stop sucking on it. Worked for me. Sorry, I only have gallows humor. This, though, is good advice for those whom walk too closely with the darkness. I went through this long ago and decided under what criteria I would let the dark thoughts win, and these ain't them.
stonetemplefox05
Know thineself.
MadamPuddifoot
Same. Or I would lose it and somehow my dogs would find it
albaboss
Statistically you are so so so much more likely to shoot yourself (accidentally or on purpose) than defending yourself from any villain/ intruder/ ICE asshole. Especially if you’re a man between the ages of 15 and 55. WAY more likely. Know thineself but also know statistics
Syovere
Woman, 37, but yeah I know the stats. I also suspect, however, that the current situation has a very different risk profile; we didn't have ICE openly attacking, abducting, and/or murdering people just for being part of the wrong demographic. (ICE has always been shit but they've escalated severely)
In better times, I'd be more likely to agree with you, but as things are... there's no good answers.

Get a crossbow. Can't really hurt yourself with it, but they are plenty useful for self-defense, especially the repeating kind. If you have a 3D printer, you can print most of one yourself. I highly recommend the MiniAdder V2, for example.
The stock folds and if you use rubber bands instead of a bow and a more compact or folding front grip, it's really compact. There are smaller 3D-printed crossbows, but they aren't as easy to use and rapid-firing (>1 bolt/s).
DdCno1
Mine looks almost identical to the one above, although I used a different, more durable material (PETG) instead of PLA, a different fore grip and added a cheap red-dot sight. Total cost without the red-dot was less than 100 bucks, including filament, bow and a kit with all of the metal parts and screws. The printer I used for this cost just 165 bucks (Elegoo Neptune 3 Pro). Bargain bin red-dots are fine, since there is no recoil that would, on a gun, mess up their zero.

You can get a slingshot that can knock a hole in the wall for like, $35 on amazon. If it can hit a rat, it can hit an ICE agent in the ear and make his life really uncomfortable.

I don't live in the US, but I am trying to help for people that don't have access to guns.
Badprenup
People without access to guns already have roles to fill:
1. Runner - Messages and Supplies
2. Medic
3. Support and Logistics
4. Mixing and using special cocktails to melt any ice in the area

Excellent ideas!
