I’d believe that it’s a 13-year-old spewing dumb 13-year-old ideas of how humor works. Their thoughts don’t count yet.

Pull the trigger to use your state-of-the-art recoil-assisted braking system.

He’s very good at hiding.

Looks like it was baked before being Saddamized.

…hands that are gripped together are unable to present a threat…

Counterpoint:

Y’all startin’ to look like Elvises!

Nature’s sabot round in a few easy cuts.

…the St. Peter part is made up…

Which stands in stark lack of contrast with the rest of the bible.

Might be worth picking up some fire safety equipment if that might give you some peace of mind and reduce that barrier a little. Not talking about parking a shiny red fire truck in your driveway but a small kitchen fire extinguisher shouldn’t be too hard to come by. There are also stovetop extinguisher canisters that go off automatically when exposed to intense heat (fine for normal cooking but intended to be activated by an uncontrolled fire).

If you haven’t seen it already, I’d also recommend watching a video or two about how to control grease fires. Reading about it is one thing but seeing the demonstration of why not to use water really drives the point home. Scary for sure but the other side of it is that you learn how to handle one of the worst-case scenarios so it can be a confidence boost moving forward.

I did a search of !guitars@lemmy.world for the word “sorry” (figured it wouldn’t be in as many posts as “guitar” or “learning”).

Here’s the first result: Really dumb questions about learning guitar (sorry)

Found one.

Typical religious wacko trying to lure in kids to be groomed and abused.

I’m surprised they made an emoji for something as obscene as this but you know that “two in the pink, one in the stink” thing for the shocker? This is along the same lines: One in the pink, one giving your lady a thumbs up to tell her you’re a chill dude and having a good time.

Doesn’t work as well on guys unless he’s flexible or has a bunch of strategically-placed mirrors.

Just put walls on there, problem solved.

… Asked the brain about itself. Typical narcissistic brain behavior, don’t see the other organs doing it.

That Kentucky Jelly tastes like shit and goes straight through you though. 6/10 at best.

No time like the present to get involved with something like a Community Emergency Response Team or its local equivalent. FEMA has manuals and other training materials available online which address the matter of chemical, biological, radiological, nuclear and explosive (CBRNE; sometimes just CBRN or NBC depending on agency or publication date) incidents. Won’t make you an expert on yield estimation or fallout mapping but there is information which may be useful for improving individual and community resilience.

Personally, I think the likelihood of getting nuked is low and it’s much more likely that a CERT volunteer will be called upon to assist in natural disasters or major accidents to relieve the burden on professional crews. Where I live, teams have been employed to assist in redirecting traffic around areas with downed power lines or, in one case somewhat recently, a significant natural gas leak. Firefighters and other specialists establish a safe perimeter before handing off the site to volunteers so they can respond to other incidents throughout the city while repair crews work down their list of priorities.

Long comment short: building useful skills and relationships before shit meets fan means less scrambling to figure it out on that day and there are real, practical applications for that knowledge beyond LARPing with Jim-Bob’s moron militia.

“Kiss your ass goodbye” for those who left their Ovaltine decoder ring at home.

A little surprised but I know we don’t have a monopoly on dipshittery here in the land of pickup trucks with pink rubber scrotums flapping in the wind. Just seems that way sometimes.

They’ve got a tiny scrap of power and by god, they intend to use it! More enjoyable than going to therapy for the abuse they suffered as children.
