If full time Walmart employees need government assistance programs to afford food and pay their rent, is it not Walmart who is leaning on government assistance?

  • I think it largely depends on the hobby and how general you want to be about it. I was talking with my wife about this a few years ago and we came to the conclusion that I had a lot of examples of my dad finding solutions to obstacles on his own to where I feel like I can solve almost any issue solo, it’s just a matter of how much time and resources do I have to give. Her upbringing was that a service had to be called and a temporary solution put in place. The temporary solution worked but was miserable in the meantime. Also she wasn’t part of the temp or permanent solution whereas I was “holding the flashlight”.

    It’s also interesting because my sister experienced the same examples as me, but because I was here and willing she kinda just lets me be dad in fixing situations now. I think there’s an eagerness that men bring with often misguided confidence until they do it enough to get good and my wife would say she wants something to be easy from the beginning before she’ll confidently take on the task without me. This is going to be very different couple to couple though, since I can recall a lot of men who act helpless about problems within my ability to control. Often their wives take on that role instead and they seek women who do that sorta stuff because it’s a great team dynamic.

    Probably rambling too much for the TLDR to be, “it depends” my bad


  • Have you ever been knocked out before? Instant time travel into the future. Probably something like that without the ringing sound in your head from whatever hit you. Oh, and also that you never wake up.

    I like the idea of reincarnation, but maybe it’s my antitheist limited brain, transitioning to a creature with vastly different intelligence or central nervous system seems like the me I am still ceases to exist. Same vibes doesn’t even really check out when folks with brain ailments go through massive personality changes and I wouldn’t ever expect someone to “maintain their vibe” through that change.





  • I don’t really get it other than changing its convenience and efficiency. Superglue and wall loops make stronger parts of multiple pieces than priting it all in one.

    Maybe poor wording? I just mean their task is enormous to filter these parts in a way that actually targets them and nothing else and splitting pieces will invariably be the new technique for those people who are making them. The thing is when you’re making gun pieces it’s a disposable or sellable piece meaning they’re likely producing multiple of the same models. They will easily adapt techniques that continue to work for them while our prints get filtered into that group despite having nothing to do with guns.

    I also think we should be able to print whatever the fuck we want with our own devices, but even from their perspective it’s not going to work. This seems like a handwave attempt at garnering plausible deniability from high profile cases of murder as well as sucking up to politicians and pretending they actually care about the problem.

    Also in my original post I forgot this applies to CNC machines too, this is going to be a shitshow.









  • Honestly it’s far worse. People in positions like Zucker can change results and manipulate their own market. There’s already a bunch of stories about athletes betting against themselves, as if that’s remotely the most egregious instances of corruption with Kalshi and Polymarket. As the other user mentioned, regulations are non existent for the President’s failsons. Recently Polymarket was caught breaking advertising laws by faking bets, lying about their sponsorships, and encouraging their partners to lie using official channels.
