I'm kind of amazed that these people really exist. There's a guy here who is so much like them it's just mind bending.

Just today he (let's call him Dwilton) came in (late) and I heard him yell across the warehouse to a laborer "WHERE"S MY FUN DIP." The laborer had borrowed the box of fun dip that wasn't being eaten because it's gross and has not given it back. I thought Dwilton could not be actually mad about this fun dip, but when I saw his face, he was. And that's a trope of these characters right? Any perceived rudeness is taken as a great injustice of the company in general, rather than a personal failure in one or both directions that could be rectified with maturity.

So then he started ranting about how this laborer has been hiding. Then about how there was a bird in the warehouse that dive bombed him and almost hurt him! I was like Dwilton, you sure are fired up this morning, and he was like no i'm not all crosseyed.

He's a super sad and I could go on for pages if I start remembering his other stuff, but the point is he's like this character from the office and office space.

He has literally bitched about not getting his allotment of free food at company functions.

What is this personality?

Shot Show, a big firearm manufacturer convention, was this last week in Las Vegas. Some small manufacturing and machine shop by the name of BSD Fabrication & Works showed up promoting that they would be building copies of Russian VSS firearms, which would be a cool item to own.

Ian McCollum of Forgotten Weapons interviewed them and posted a video yesterday about his conversation with them, in which he expresses skepticism about their ability to do so (for example, Ian finds their comment about how "easy" it is to stamp metal concerning) but genuinely does hope for the best.

He also makes a comment about this in a private Facebook group, informing people that he does not recommend giving them deposits beforehand.

In any case, the owner of the shop starts sperging out on his personal Facebook page.

https://www.facebook.com/share/p/1BNtQxTwmp/

Most comments are from people supporting him as he continues whining as much as he can.

Although there are instances of people pointing out that these are mild concerns and criticisms.

There's about 70 comments in the facebook post.

Redditors in the /r/nfa sub (dealing with laws and regs created from the National Firearms Act) also learn about this:

https://old.reddit.com/r/NFA/comments/1iafjns/has_anybody_seen_ians_video_on_the_bsd_vss/

BSD is a clown and a C tier machinist. Charged an arm and two legs for simple machine work in the old days of the form 1 community.

For the curious about his history. This guy even used to bead blast his parts to hide chatter on threads

ETA: the HUBRIS of BSD with the stamping question. Lol. Lmao, even.

If memory serves, he got banned from /r/NFA because he was constantly hawking his services.

Link referencing his history is further down.

The guy is a meth head and an absolutely terrible machinist.

The history referenced in that first comment is this link here (bunch of pictures in this post):

https://old.reddit.com/r/NFA/comments/16j4e0b/heads_up_about_bsd_fabrication_works_llc/

Ah the first picture explains his pricing. When I heard what he was charging for those Surefire conversions, I thought he was smoking crack. Turns out it's actually meth.

Anyways yea this r-slurred meth addict reeeing about a mild critique is definitely going to re-engineer a niche firearm and sell it to the masses.

So I met up with this off Grindr and fricked him.

mtf, stereotype, communist, neurodivergent, type shit

Dude was rambling about some nonsense, and I just nodded along, waiting to get it over with. About an hour in, we got down to business and I fricked his butt (with a condom, obviously).

Tbh I felt kind of disgusted, but you know, neighbors just gotta take what they can get

It is what it is.

To find the mystical true femboy (biological male that passes as female with the exception of the peepee)

But as it turns out, they don't really exist or at least, they're so incredibly rare they might as well not exist

It's like finding a cryptid, but at the same time, trying to find that true femboy is almost addictive...

It's like gambling, trying to hit the jackpot.

Imagine hating on us when we're literally just minding our own business and browsing the web 🙃

— Firefox 🔥 (@firefox) January 28, 2025

Apparently Brave got a little cheeky in Google Playstore (I don't see this in Tim Apple's store) and Mozzila is coping hard.

Firef*x claps back after Brave browser's Play Store shenanigans

https://old.reddit.com/r/firef*x/comments/1ic4w56/i_guess_this_is_a_response_for_braves_forget_the/

Pretty lame response. "We are just minding our business and fading into obscurity". They should have use this opportunity to promote some benefit of using Firef*x over brave.

Why would they give their competitor free advertising

where is the competition? the true privacy browser is firef*x

*conditions apply. Please turn off data collection, sponsored links, non-privacy-preserving website advertising preferences, weather on New Tab page, pocket sponsored posts, default browser agent, Normandy, as well as suggestion improvements for search and web browsing. Be sure to not enable AI, and set default search engine to something that isn't Google.

**kindly please ignore that even if you turn off data collection, we will still relentlessly reach out to incoming.telemetry.mozzarella.org and location.services.mozzarella.com.

Firef*x really be doing anything but enable hdr support on YouTube.

I don't get the drooling love some people have for Brave. I personally don't think I would ever trust the browser for anything other than just another option when the ones I like don't work due to the history of crypto schemes and ad/affiliate link hijacking.

Same reason I doubt I will ever trust something made by Lenovo. They screwed up in such a bad way in the past with that whole root cert thing on their OEM images that even a decade+ on I still associate them with it and never consider their products as an option if I can find anything else to do the job.

It is essentially a cult. The crypto crowd loves to overhype stuff as they are used to do it in their pyramid schemes.

Some other people also believe brave to be some kind of anti woke browser. It's just ideology.

Firef*x is objectively the best browser in the world

in a newly-bought Macbook, install Firef*x and Chrome, then compare. despite having the M4 processor and generous amounts of unified memory, Chrome lags while Firef*x is buttery smooth

i feel sorry for people who's using Chrome, they don't even know they got used to terrible experience that they think it's normal. it's like not knowing what's above 60 Hz refresh rate or not having experienced OLED

Firef*x for everything. Safari if I want to stream 4K on Netflix. Chrome if my work will be primarily on Google Docs or Gmail. Brave if it's winter and I want to use my computer as a space heater

I use Firef*x on my computer and brave on my phone. I haven't noticed brave heating up my phone though. What's going on with Brave that everyone hates them so much?

personally, i don't like that you can't disable or hide the features that are bundled with the browser - vpn, crypto, and ai. as for the company behind Brave, i dislike their marketing because they have no business hating on other browsers if they're just a Chrome reskin themselves.

as for the heating part, well, that's my experience on Mac because it's so unoptimized. Chrome is slow as it is, but when you bundle it with other bloat, it takes a toll on your machine. there's also a long-running joke that Brave mines crypto, that's why it gets hot

Brave on my old M1 laptop literally has better battery life than Safari. You can turn all the shit off. Neighbor what world are Mozzilatards living in? Oh yeah, one where Furryfox has a 69% market share and they're not a fat slob in a boring butt IT job for some middling company.

Don't be a lameass Furryfox user, be brave! The browser that puts you first | Brave

I was just going to leave the thread blank for two reasons:

1) Since the film is so in love with cutesy little meta-metacommentary it seemed appropriate because

2) I felt absolutely nothing for this movie,

however that's too subtle, so like Cabin in the Woods itself I will now belabor the point long past anyone's ability to care.

I honestly don't even know where to begin with this. It wasn't offensively bad or anything a la Black Swan, it isn't good-bad like Chopping Mall, it's not just plain old serviceable and therefore solid in its decency like The Omen, and it certainly isn't good. And it's like it was written to preemptively shield itself from criticism.

I could call it formulaic. The defense would be that of course it's formulaic, that's the point of the movie haha they even named the generic slasher archetypes at the end, the formulaicism is part of the joke.

I could call it uninspired. The defense would similarly be that of course it's uninspired, there's a Cube-style room of rooms with all the monsters from everything, it's all deliberately derivative and referential.

I could call it not scary. The defense would again similarly be that this is also intentional, look how it's also billed as a comedy. Nevermind that it's not funny either, because it's also billed as a horror.

The plain and simple of it is that it is formulaic, and this goes for the meta-meta narrative as well. Yes the silly organization's point is to enact the contrived ritual that plays out with horror movie tropes because it's supposed to, that's not whats formulaic about it. It can be argued that every beat up to the descent into the facility is formulaic by design, but once they're through that door that excuse falls flat.

The plain and simple of it is that it is uninspired. One of the technicians remarks early on that they're allowed to cheat to make things play out as needed as much as they want. Later we see that security personnel gunning down the sacrifices meets the requirements—there's no reason not to lead with that and just shoot the whore first. Or to bomb the cabin after shooting the whore. Or literally anything else. The overarching narrative cannot be flimsy because the arguably intentionally shitty internal narrative is wink-wink-shitty to allow room for that larger one. The overall story is just there as an excuse to make 8104 different references (HAHA THE WHITEBOARD TALKS ABOUT THE R*PE TREES FROM EVIL DESD LOL) and give 3 second cameos to creatures from other movies. The facility and organization itself is just a Cube Zero knockoff anyway.

The plain and simple of it is that it is neither scary nor funny. There are no stakes even with the apocalypse on the horizon and then actualizing to end the film. Everyone is boring and sucks. Literally Shaggy from scooby doo as the lead can't go any other way. The humor predates it by several years but it all smacks of that atrocious Rian Johnson Star Wars movie with the yo momma joke; it's quip "comedy" without the quips but the exact same degree of unwarranted and omnipresent self-satisfaction.

This is, however, a lot more negativity than Cabin in the Woods strictly deserves. I don't feel any sort of profound loathing for it or anything, it did nothing to elicit any particular emotion that strong. It's a completely unremarkable hour and a half.

For a movie with such an incredibly promising cover and inexplicably golden critic reviews from the beforetimes when critics evaluated things by metrics other than how much gay s*x a film has in it, the only thing I feel in any notable sense is confusion as to how either of these things happened. That and I want to watch Hellraiser because cenobites are great even if they are bootleg and have 30 seconds of screentime in an utterly mid movie.

!kino your thoughts?

cc @LainkeyKong as requested

I think they were discussing philosophy or quantum computing or Red Hat Linux or something.

Telling on myself here, but I mostly only listen to true crime podcasts, and almost exclusively when I'm running or working out. I like them because there's a built-in element of drama and kind of trashy gossip of digging around in the refuse of someone else's life. Also a little tiny bit of fear/danger element that gets me amped up when I'm running, especially at night like what if I have to run away from a psycho???

I don't generally like sort of hang-out-and-shoot-the-shit interview podcasts, but I see that so so many people do. Is it a parasocial thing? Like if you like the hosts and you want to imagine being friends/lovers with them? Or maybe you are not a funny and clever person yourself / you have no inner monologue, so you need a podcast to fill your head with other people being funny and clever on your behalf?

Anyway, what do you look for in your podcasts? What should I start listening to?

Or this is an open thread, just chat about whatever. I got a new breadmaker and it fricking sucks. How do you know if a breadmaker is bad or just the recipes or maybe you suck at pouring four ingredients in a pot and pressing the "start" button correctly? Someone told me I should use the recipes off Bread Daddy instead of the ones in the book that came with the machine. Anyone here tasted the Bread Daddy's dough?

"Is insert thing about America really that bad?"

Yes, you dumb fricks. It's almost like some of us spent years telling you how dangerous this shit was, where it could lead, and you all fricking ignored it. Or told us we were overreacting. I hate to say I told you so, but we fricking told you so. I mean it's all been so god darn blatant for years and now you're surprised? Have you had your head up your butt for the past 10 years?? Are you incapable of performing a simple Google search? Go frick yourselves. You are part of what enabled all of this.

So congrats on joining the rest of us in reality, it sucks huh? Now stop asking inane questions and do something useful.

Reading books would be good. They Thought They Were Free by Milton Meyer and It Can't Happen Here by Sinclair Lewis in particular. Idfk. Do the work and learn so you can help fight this. We don't need hand wringing piss babies

Read a book, you hand wringing piss babies.

You might know this guy from a recently posted thread from @BussyBoy where he says some mean things about a dead minecraft youtuber. I don't know if he wants his channel to be associated with rDrama so I'm going to refer to him as Brian.

Apparently BB/Brian NOT ONLY made fun of a dead guy BUT two weeks before he also made a very insensitive joke where he refers to a black minecraft pig as a "pigger". In fact, this issue was so massive that the part where he says it is the MOST REPLAYED part of the video AND sponsorblock has it marked as the highlight of the video.

This generated its own sneeding with many users calling this joke really insensitive.

Not long after posting the drama died down (because preteens have the attention spans of flies) and everything was fine... UNTIL someone brought it up again in the drama referenced earlier.

Ironic that this guy is trying to be a moral authority when he posts trash like this: https://t.co/e2LBLQCO8M pic.twitter.com/b0hgLELlqR

He whiteknights for Brian like a good friend and mentions the obvious fact: it's ragebait made to generate discussion

Here's his whole discussion with OP

Now, back to the main tweet. Xitter user TheWorstOfTwt informs everyone that TME is a heckin chud and that nobody should subscribe to him.

I don't care for minecraft so all of this discussion is boring. Feel free to mess with people, maybe deny all the atrocities that happened? Maybe claim these youtubers are black? Idk

Self-defense isn't inherently libertarian, conservative, or any other label

Believing in self-defense doesn't make me a libertarian any more than believing in free speech makes me a constitutional scholar

I'm not a libertarian nor a man, but sure, go off. If hearing a perspective you don't like makes you assume I fit into some stereotype, that's on you, not me.

Ah yes, because sharing information and options is now 'gaslamping.'

I never said a gun is the only option just that it's one worth considering alongside other self-defense cowtools. If it's not for you, that's totally fine. But providing information for those who are interested isn't the same as telling everyone they must buy one. Either way, take care.

Owning a gun doesn't make me Rambo… it just means I'd rather have a fighting chance if things go south.

By that logic, should we also stop buying phones because Big Tech censors people?

I shared my perspective (one that seems to resonate with a lot of women) on self-defense because I believe people should have options, not because I'm pushing an agenda or fearmongering

Fear isn't what drives people to own guns reality is. The idea that self-defense is just a marketing scheme ignores the fact that millions of people, including marginalized groups, choose to arm themselves because they don't want to rely on the government, law enforcement, or anyone else for protection. Owning a gun doesn't mean supporting gun manufacturers any more than owning a phone means supporting Big Tech censorship. It's about having the cowtools to protect yourself in a world that isn't always safe.

Rule 1: Treat all guns as if they are loaded

You forgot Rule 5, "I don't care what you think, your gun is loaded unless you confirm it isn't," and Rule 6, "I know you just confirmed your gun isn't loaded, but you blinked and Reginald the Ammo Goblin may have done something when you weren't looking, so keep treating your gun as if it's loaded."

You are wrong.

The rate of obesity in particular rose steeply, doubling in adults between 1990 and 2021 to more than 40 percent — and nearly tripling, to 29 percent, among girls and women aged 15 to 24.

I am so happy for our girls

"Obesity comes from genetic, physiological and environmental interactions," she said. "It's not the fault of any one individual who has the disease."

I agree father mother skinny daughter fat, genetic not her fault

Completely unsurprised. Have been watching this happen for about the last 20 years. Watching school kids get more and more overweight, compared to my high school days in the 80's, where there were only 2-3 what would be called "obese" kids in my class of 300. And they weren't even THAT big.

Go to a flea market in the U.S now on a weekend. That is a real eye-opener, to the current mass obesity phenomenon ..

We are headed for the space ships of Wall-E ...

I spend 3 years in high school with 12 foid classmates and 2 were overweight rest obese to super obese. I respected them a lot

I remember once's when they started talking about guys and what they like I was like this

Because I thought they were delusional to think they don't deserve what they want obviously, they first and all were for me genderless persons.

So they coped by calling me gay because I never hit on any of them
