I would agree if it weren’t painfully obvious the Russian elections that brought put in in weren’t heavily influenced by putin-run domestic terrorism and election fraud.

Wait, actually, it still is a good comparison.

Carry on.

So theft and extortion. I remember when those were crimes.

I mean, half of my hammers have had their handles remade with whatever hardwood was closest. So I’m gonna go with those.

However, the most complex thing that I can repair with sourced parts would be either my truck, or my truck. I’ve had to fix it with “close enough” parts before, and I will fix it until the frame rusts (which given Northern states and salted roads probably won’t be more than a few more years)

There’s a smattering of electronics that I’ve seen mentioned multiple times as well.

One thing that is theoretically repairable, but is hard to find parts for, my washing machine. It’s a old 50s model with a lever to engage the motor, a roller on top to squeeze water out, and a simple steel gear system to drive everything. I should be able to open it up with a crescent wrench and flat head screwdriver, but I doubt I will ever be able to find ready-made parts (I have looked briefly when I thought I had a problem with it that sorted itself) but I might be able to bodge some things together if needed.

Why would you give water to a country that has threatened to invade you in recent months?

I love how when I point out it’s owned by a nazi, people rush in to defend their use of twitter and most usually it’s some form of “it’s the best for what it is/it has a huge user base” and me responding with a picture of musk doing the ol’ Hitler Salute saying “okay but you’re supporting this guy, and if you sit at a table with 10 nazis…” usually results in being blocked, people simply ignoring me, or saying something dismissive.

Is Switzerland full of sexist people who think “someday I’LL be rich so I don’t want to tax MYSELF more, hypothetically maybe in the distant future”?

You know who’s gonna have to fix it…

Typical business, sell a flimsy product that won’t last more than a dozen uses.

You need proper 4x4 or even 6x6 timber and mortise/tenon joints for something that will last for the entire treasonous administration.

I saw a post asking the same thing the day I joined lemmy dot world with my first account.

That was a couple years ago now. I think I’m on my third instance?

Cranial Jettison Disorder is a serious issue.

The French knew how to handle it quite well.

“Wait what the fuck? Oh so they’re being satirical and actually stating the exact opposite?.. Oh. No they’re serious. What the fuck?”

-My Internal Thoughts reading this.

An act that was clearly illegal given that he misrepresented emergency information, and I expect the exact same punishment will be recieved for THIS tampering of things.

To me it’s felt more like “look at me I’m so unique”

and a gentrified neighborhood I can’t afford to live in anymore.

Gunshots at 2am and random shed fires should make quick work of that problem. I hear those have a way of lowering property value.

Leaving a few broken down vehicles in your front yard is a more legal way, I guess.

until we feel whole.

I mean, I’m down to keep stealing shit until I die.

“are corporations whose sole purpose is to extract as much money from the masses as possible with no thoughts to anything else up to and including destroying the house it occupies in order to maximize profits to blame for the world around us? Or is it those dirty fucking people with all their bad gross nasty purchasing of the things the corporation shoves down their throats?”

I’m sorry but did a CEO write this?

Uncaring?

You really think they don’t care how they ruin people’s lives?

Quite the contrary. They relish in the suffering. The cruelty, as always, is the point.

Fuck them sideways with a Guillotine.

Truth doesn’t matter, reality doesn’t matter, their OWN MYTHOLOGY doesn’t matter to them. Most of them haven’t even read their own manual outside the dozen or so cherry picked verses that they use somewhat interchangeably for conflicting messages, once a week for 45 minutes.

“Why are you so afraid of answering questions?”

“democrats answer questions like this every day, surely you want to prove you’re better than them?”

Get digs at their egos. At the very least, there may be one or two conservatives out there who see that and go “yeah, why IS he afraid of answering a simple question?”
