There's a scale. Welding is easy. I've seen all sorts of goofy horrific looking welds made by amateurs that work for their purpose. Good welding is more difficult and you can make a lot of good enough welders to fabricate all sorts of things. Pipefitters need to be better by one or two orders of magnitude. Underwater pipefitters need to have a SCUBA skillset on top of that.

My lil brother is a pipefitter and he says that you should all suck his dick.

"fuck that stupid bitch she made social autopsy" stocks are soaring right now. anyone who didn't trust this grifting whore is feeling pretty good about themselves these days. :smug:

I was just coming that mention that she's a grifting whore who got pushback on her Social Autopsy shit by Gamergate's stars who were trying to build their own thing like that, who then jumped on the Ralph Retort for a while, who then moved through Gamergate circles trying to buff up her appearances, and eventually sold everyone out.

this is one of the most annoying, infuriating fucking things about liberals, and 'leftists' who think they're not liberals. they will point at an example of a minority behaving themselves, and extrapolate that out to the entire minority, for no reason other than toxic empathy.

"oh well i once knew a nice black guy, so they all must be nice." and then they get shot.

"oh well i once knew a nice mexican so they all must be nice." and then they get in a drunk driving accident with an illegal.

or in a debate, it's "you can't use anecdotal evidence of bad behavior from blacks, i have anecdotal evidence of good behavior of blacks." and the magnitude of these two anecdotes or how many anecdotes there are is simply not analogous at all.

But they're do that "IF 1 person SITS DAWN WUT NOINE NAHTZEES DEN YU HUV TENN NAHTZEES!" bullshit.

"Blacks by and large cause the majority of crime in the US despite being only 1 in 8 people."
"I know a good black guy who has only been arrested twice for beating women, so you're wrong."
<confusion>

I don't understand why the dems and establishment Republicans hate Hegseth so damn much.
He isn't the weakest link in the Trump cabinet, nor is he the easiest target. But every time he sneezes there seems to be a manufactured scandal that they are screeching at him about.
Why Hegseth? What did he of all people do or say that makes him the lefty pariah of Trump 2.0?

Because Pete isn't part of the club, you're supposed to be a pro-interventionist dick sucking general or admiral to get that job. They were fine with Mattis because he pretty much fit the bill to a T.

Charlie is dead and died in my state. I remember that day well. This is just a lie. The whole thing is a fabrication. The kid was autistic, in a gay relationship, got his grandpas gun, and put a round through Charlie's throat. She is a media attention whore. Nothing she says can make me forget how Utah was the day he got shot. There were no Jews. Just one crazy fucking kid.

It also ignores that Charlie had been invited by Netanyahu to visit Israel the month after he was shot. Charlie's views on Israel had shifted from full dick sucking to "maybe pump the brakes a bit".

His was probably the most successful left wing assassination in the past 80 years. They took out an extremely prominent voice on the right and instead of fighting back the right started a gay fucking civil war over Jews, while also having struggle sessions about supposed "Nazis" in the party

Meanwhile leftists cheered his murder and became much more bold about openly calling for more assassinations and they were rewarded for it in many cases, with businesses and schools refusing to fire some of them and a few even got elected to office saying that conservatives and their kids should be executed.

I know on here we see examples of it every day, so must of us are inoculated, but it really is amazing to step back and realize libs now think border enforcement and citizenship are fundamentally evil. How do you even rehabilitate people like this, how do you have a country with them? I go back and forth with thinking they all need to be plowed into the dirt.

Rehabilitate? In many cases you can't. When you reach peak demoralization, even when faced with piles of corpses, you'll have many so deep in their ideology they'll continue to vehemently deny reality, not even staring down the barrel of a rifle would bring them back to their senses.

This is a problem that has been around for a long time, David Foster Wallace wrote about it in e unibus pluram.


This is about TV but applies to all media. Everything is ironic now and subversive thanks to the writers of media being raised on post modern ironic content. Being sincere is no longer desirable and reality in the media is fake:

View attachment 8264080

This is how we have tons of money going to superhero shows that show the Tulsa race massacre as a major tragedy on the level of 9/11 or how we have children's shows with more LGBT characters than the average gay bar.

the reason all this stuff went off the rails so hard can be clearly seen in this graphic

this model of reality, and the model of reality from which postmodernism grows, is based in the rookie retard mistake of acting like "not real" is a meaningful concept when you're talking about something that obviously exists

"no relation to reality - pure simulacra" - nigga that's still reality, it's turtles all the way down. your ability to think, to imagine, to make dumb art about the Tulsa massacre, all of that *is real,* but farting around about baudrillardly allows for permanent evasion of evaluating *truth claims.* Lies are real. Delusion is real. Nothing about your mind is separate from reality.

anyway I woke up in the middle of the night and can't get back to sleep

Three months later and the most meaningful thing the right has managed to accomplish in response is to rehabilitate Nick fucking Fuentes. I'm not given to dooming but this is in particular is pretty bleak and it's not just because Trump didn't make Antifa disappear with a whim.

She's rich but empty inside and she demands attention like the black hole of personality that she is. She has no self, she switches politics and sides with zero mental effort. The only thing she wants is attention and she will milk the death of Kirk until the last drop. Look how she's interweaving France/Egypt/Israel into the story with no issues.

As an aside, it's very funny to me that she claims France and Israel would cooperate on anything, the two countries hate each other ever since France refused to deliver critical missile boats that Israel paid for and Israel stole them from the French port they were moored at.

Bitch played War Thunder once and saw French vehicles in the Israeli tech tree therefore = ???

Antifa has been labeled as a terrorist org. These things take time. By the end of these 4 years I think the countries going to look alot better than the end of Bidens term.

I FUCKING love when my elected politicians post about problems online instead of drafting and voting for legislation and making executive actions to actually fix these problems. Republicans have become nothing more than glorified shitposters and it would be nice if they backed up any of their talk with even the slightest bit of action. Who gives a flying fuck if we're "winning the argument" or "owning the libtards" when those libtards are still raping the country dry completely unopposed.

ABSOLUTELY NO ONE: [THIS LINE INTENTIONALLY BLANK]
ALSO NO ONE: [THIS LINE EVEN BLANKER THAN THE LAST ONE]
Roy Jay: The sky is falling! Everyone meet at my house to drink poisoned Kool-Aid. This latest non-event is literally worse than dying of cyanide poisoning.

It's pretty sad the infighting it's caused. The left is united in their hate. The right is still figuring out how to fill the hole Charlie left

I’m going to be honest, here

My life and especially my politics were never in any way affected by Charlie Kirk. I just tended to like him because he was effective and I mostly agreed with him

When someone famous dies, it’s totally legit to be like “oh I liked their work, that sucks” and it’s NOT totally legit to be like “agh I’m paralyzed by this stunning personal loss”

In Charlie’s case, there’s just extra fury because it was a fucking assassination
