    I drove a beater with no note for like twenty years and just rented for car trips.

    Having two or three car payments a year is cheaper than twelve.

    It's unconventional, but plenty of people do it.

    CCW and waist question

    So, peeps that ccw, where do your pants ride? I tend to be on the hips below the beer belly range. Walking around/standing is all good and pretty concealed, provided I can find a shirt tall enough for my body, but sitting? Especially with my sedentary lifestyle makes me wonder if I'm making the right fashion choices. Mostly appendix, but some four o'clock too.

    If you want semi cheap ammo 9mm & 5.56/.223 are good ways to go if you're target shooting.

    .22 is the absolute cheapest though.

    CDs don't last that long. I had a buddy that worked for a radio program tell me that the tapes lasted a lot longer. This was mid 2000s and he was already seeing failures. I think they were fairly early adopters, but still it couldn't have been that long.

    “There’s too much identity tied up in one’s work, so that is lost [after retirement]. And then there’s the cultural script of what maleness means in in our culture, so men just won’t admit or won’t receive care for depression because of that sense that it’s somehow not what a man does.”

    What use is a cog that can't cog anymore? Caring for elders is not built into our value system and not protected by our economic system.

    Hell, it may be the only way to retire in a few more years.

    If police and proud boys have them...

    I do use mine for target practice though. I shot competitively when I was younger and really appreciate the skill aspect. I have fond memories of my grandpa teaching me how to shoot, but hunting has never been on my radar.

    January sixth, probably played a pretty big role in me actually "pulling the trigger" tbh. That and a PB demonstration down the street from me.

    If I was honest, it's basically a super dangerous bowling ball to me.

    It's crazy to think how much damage law enforcement had on the black community's moral leadership of the sixties and seventies. I guess I'd never really thought about the leadership of the generation immediately following.

    Tupac absolutely had a lot of charisma and a moral authority. Shit, his name is still known around the world. It is kind of wild to think how he could have matured into that role, especially considering the influence that hip hop has been able to muster socially.

    I don't mean to throw shade at anyone, but imagine the impact a prominent hip hop voice could have today with a message that went against the socioeconomic grain and sort of harkened back to some of the voices of the civil rights movement driving real progress.

    All Americans, not just the black community that was hit the hardest and most violently, lost a lot to cointelpro and the state behind it.

    Long term it's probably decaying public trust, short term: no matter the asshole they've got people that voted for them.

    I'm not too sure that America is even thinking about it's future anymore and we've got a ton of momentum.
