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.

Loving your kid is not a sin, shake off the dust of any church that teaches otherwise.

Jesus said just be nice and stuff

Churches need to get back to spreading the actual message of Jesus Christ.

I wrote to you in my letter not to associate with sexually immoral people— not at all meaning the people of this world who are immoral, or the greedy and swindlers, or idolaters. In that case you would have to leave this world. But now I am writing to you that you must not associate with anyone who claims to be a brother or sister but is sexually immoral or greedy, an idolater or slanderer, a drunkard or swindler. Do not even eat with such people. What business is it of mine to judge those outside the church? Are you not to judge those inside? God will judge those outside. "Expel the wicked person from among you."

A bunch of years ago my church, which didn't have an official stance on gay relationships, had a gay choir director. He'd been there for years and was widely loved. He didn't tell anybody at church, but eventually it got out that he had a partner. A significant portion of the church demanded that he be fired. People who had prayed, laughed, and cried with him suddenly saw him as somebody deserving of nothing.

Even though he had support from church leadership, this drove him not only away from my church but away from Christianity altogether. Last I knew, he never regained his faith.

My pastor was unable to take an official stance because of hierarchical problems (later fixed, but too late) but did give a sermon about the sin of driving people away from Christ. This was not enough.

I can only hope that you do not let this horrible experience drive you from God. There are people who love you. Loving your son is not wrong. I believe that you can find another church that will treat you right.

darn imagine following the Bible's teachings, what a horrible experience

I've never understood how churches like this could think they're loving without twisting love the ways abusive parents do until it means cruelty and abuse. The Bible should be our guide for spiritual matters. Using it as a guide for matters outside the spiritual is abusing it, not respecting it. It's not a science text and it shouldn't be used as such

We shouldnt take scripture seriously because sometimes there is allegory!

The hate for trans people is growing to a crescendo, fueled by the personal anti-trans obsessions of some of history's most wealthy people, and the advantage many politicians find in stoking it. Obviously "Jesus is an obedient attack dog, kept tightly leashed by the world's wealthiest and most powerful, hating whoever they command him to hate" is absurd on the face of it, but... well, we live in an absurd era.

The (((wealthiest and most powerful))) are to blame for christians not accepting tr4nnies cutting off their peepees

Apparently they didn't read Galatians 3:28: "There is neither male nor female, for we are one in Christ". I hope you find a more accepting church!

I guess there's also somehow a remaster of the game, which is if nothing else an indictment of our culture's inability to make anything new, instead preferring to "remaster" (theoretically) intentionally bad games.

Yeah we didn't get anything from breaking their political backbone but I'd do it again just cause of how detestable these strags are.

HUGE NEWS REGARDING THE OWNERSHIP OF CHARACTERS FROM AOSTH AND SATAM!!! (a thread)

thanks to the help of former sega of america licensor, Michaelene Risely, i have been able to get a hold of never before seen court documents between sega and dic: pic.twitter.com/YYBaMBfHK9

— Alex "Nintrendodude" Hedgefox (@Alex_Hedgefox2) January 12, 2025

Background

When Sonic the Hedgehog blew up in America Sega of America worked into overdrive to make new Sonic media to fulfill the west's insatiable lust for the fastest thing alive. This led to the creation of two tv shows by DIC entertainment The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog a network weekday episodic comedy ( the pingas show) and Sonic the Hedgehog (hence called Satam due to its Saturday morning time slot) a syndicated serialized cartoon with a far darker tone. As the only Sonic characters in existence at the time were Sonic Tails and Robotonik a whole new cast was created to serve as side characters:

From left to right: Rotor "boomer" the walrus, Bunny Rabot, Sonic, Tails, Sally Acorn, and Antoine the Fox (french )

Robotonik was also given a right hand named in a cowardly Nephew named Snivley and in this story Robtonik was a made dictator who had taken over the planet Mobius, which is Earth after humans got into a war with aliens and the aliens just nuked the frick outta the earth mutating the people into anime people and the animal and human DNA merged into furries (Mobians and Overlanders/Humans are canonically sexually compatible !furries).

Constructing a sprawling mass of factories to pollute the environment and robotizing the native mobians into his mindless slaves including Sonic's parents and Sally's dad King Acorn who once ruled the land (well he actually he was turned to crystal and stranded in the Void ruled by Ixnis Nagus).

This lore ended up being used as the basis for Archie's long running Sonic Comic (290 issues + spin offs and one shots) with some major modifications and developments.

Anyway this is to say to a whole generation of neurodivergents growing up in the 90s Sally and the Freedom Fighters are as important to Sonic as Tails and Knuckles are and they will fight to the death to defend them (and also goon to sally) despite the fact they have never appeared in a game

Well they actually do make a cameo in the special stages of Sonic Spinball which was created by Sega Technical Institute the fully American branch of Sonic Team which made Sonic 2 and Sonic and Knuckles

The new Information

Sonic Satam ended after 2 seasons with season 2 ending on a cliff hanger of sonic killing Robotonik and Snivley being contacted by a mysterious pair of red eyes. A season 3 was planned but never released. There has been lots of speculation as to why this never came out such as ratings conflicts or some very neurodivergent drama between Satam's creator and Archie's very own careercow Ken Penders because both of them were pitching Sonic movies to hollywood without Sega's consent, but now we know the real Answer:

So, to summarize, SatAM got cancelled because DiC was selling animation cells from the show without telling Sega, and Sega retaliated by forbidding future episodes.

(Also Sega owns all the content from DiC Sonic, even though they're never going to use it) https://t.co/rRJa3K52wL

— The world of Archie Sonic (@archiesonicwrld) January 12, 2025

Sega owns all of the DIC characters and DIC tried to sell animation sells without Sega approval. TBF this is pretty common in the animation world but Sega took extreme umbrance to this and cancelled season 3 on the spot. This isn't huge new info as Sega allowed the use of the freedom fighters and other Satam characters in the great Archie reboot which removed all Archie original characters from the book in retaliation for being humiliated by Ken Penders in the courtroom.

Here comes the cope

Based on what I see here, Sega owns the Freedom Fighters, Could we ever see them show up in other Sonic Media? Imagine if they were brought into the movies.

Sega will totally bring in this decades old characters bros for their new family movie they definitely wont only focus on the super marketable and popular ones

They WILL use them again! It's been decades upon decades. Times have changed. There's new people involved. WildBrain owns the DiC cartoons. The Freedom Fighters are gonna return!

Did Sega frick up or did DIC frick up?

Archie chad calls Sega r-slurred and accuses archie haters of being

Sega and Sonic Team actually just hate fun

To be fair, in this case...They're right.

DIC was selling Animation Cels of the show without permission.

Which you have to be absolutely stupid to do, especially since the show was ongoing.

No, sega is just r-slurred actually.

so they should just let other companies make profit from their property without any compensation?

Yes sega should lay down and die because I hate that freaking company

"Wah I hate this company because my furshit isn't canon."

That's you.

And I have no love Lost for SEGA, especially as a SoR Fan...but Jesus, if you think SEGA is even remotely in the wrong here...

Since we're making wild unfounded assumptions about each others motivations I'm gonna respond by accusing you of being a transsexual libertarian

That was the reason all along? That's curious,I always thought that selling animation cels was something that companies didn't really care about.

Darn what the heck was dic thinking??? Braindead company causing Satam to be canceled that sucks! Maybe that's part of why sega of Japan doesn't want to do anything with those characters/worlds

Anyway the simple fact is Sega fricking hates all of the western lore, veiws it as off model to the current Sonic brand, and is just letting Ken Penders do whatever he wants because they don't give a shit and want all this neurodivergent shit gone.

Tho !comicshitters !furries Sonic's creator is an Archie chad

TLDR: There is an neurodivergent civil war because we found out Sega owns all the characters from the old sonic cartoon and is sitting on them, and that season 3 of the show was cancelled due to the animation studio selling animation cels without Sega's approval. !neurodivergents

https://old.reddit.com/r/TwoXChromosomes/comments/1i89l7n/bodypolicing_and_being_midsize/

I'm what's considered mid-sized I guess... neither fat nor thin. I don't look visually big, but I have a belly, I have rolls, it's just when I'm clothed it's not so apparent. I'm thick, I have huge thighs, covered in cellulite.

So people, especially women, who are heavier than I am often get offended if I say I wish I had a little less fat. They treat me like I'm nuts and "so skinny!"

It never began

for instance, during lunch at work I mentioned I was starting to track my nutrition and exercise more often because I want to lean out, and another colleague jumped at me, almost angrily, and told me I didn't need to.

Right there with you!

I wear a US 16, and am tall.

That would be considered obese even at 6'6

I'm built different that plus size but get an annoyed look in "straight sized" shops when I ask for my size.

I mean, I'm talking about my experience. My colleagues are mostly women, thye share their struggles with weight during lunch. Just because I'm a little smaller doesn't mean I don't also struggle or that it's not valid. What am I supposed to do, just stay quiet durig lunch not to offend them, ion times when that's the MAIN conversation topic?

She also hit the incelhood the wall

I was actually sort of happy about it after the oversaturation of male entitlement in my teens and twenties. 35 is the first year I've (personally, not speaking for anyone else) started to feel sexually invisible to the average passerby and it's just so... weird? Hard to explain, but it felt like I could hold people's attention (not even sexual attention, but general attention) without even trying before, but now I actually have to do something extra in order to secure my position.

To be honest, I've even been wondering if I have a worse personality than previously thought, because people generally even seem to find me less interesting now as well; they respond with more politeness compared to, well, genuine enthusiasm... and I don't just mean hetero men, but other women as well; society at large, really. Like, have I been very boring all this time, but people were only interested in what I had to say because I was a pretty young thing? (I'm probably not describing all of this very well, but it's a feeling I've really been stewing in this year.)

• I think the grief of it will last me awhile, even if I do enjoy the upside of being less sexualised than I was during my peak years.

I feel like I actually hit a happy medium in my late twenties to early thirties and the equilibrium has shifted over too much now, but I digress. The other way I cope is just glowing up my appearance in ways I have neglected, like slowly shedding the weight I've put on these past few years and revamping my wardrobe a little - things that may not make a huge difference to other people, but help me tolerate my own reflection better.

Says she doesn't care process to tell how she trying to improve her looks

It's nasty how much people feign interest in your mind and what you say just because you're attractive. I've been used by one too many guys because of that. One thing that sticks with me as a single woman is to pay attention to how a man I'm interested in treats women who he isn't attracted to. Does he genuinely listen and contribute to conversations with older women, fat women, trans women, etc. or does he only see and respect conventionally attractive women.

Does that man is interested in her
