Couldn’t have happened to a nicer guy.
Coaster is nice too :)
That’s really nice. Was going to ask if you used dowels or biscuits, then I actually read the post. Well done. Would love to do something like this in curly maple/cherry.
I think what you said is true. But you’re referring to people who have an actual handicap and are discriminated against for it.
What I’m referring to is the idea of allowing myself to believe that a people group are less intelligent than I am just because they don’t align with me politically or ideologically. There is no actual handicap for which they are being discriminated against, simply having a different life experience and different view point is enough. It’s ironically a deeply fascist mentality…and I agree it is everywhere.
I was mainly responding to the previous comment which characterized right-wingers as having “lesser cognitive ability”. Just saying that that kind of thinking sets up a “we’re superior” mentality that can too easily lead to the same kinds of consequences as thinking you’re superior based on race or social status. There are so many environmental and experiential factors that go into where a person lands politically and how effective certain forms of propaganda are on them. Blanket statements that characterize entire people groups as less intelligent are not in any way accurate or helpful.
There are definitely plenty of well educated, intelligent fascists as well. It’s pretty dangerous to start thinking that what separates two ideological groups is intelligence.
That was almost enough to make me not notice that Zuckerberg is doing the kissing.
I prefer analog websites myself.
I was expecting to see a trail of ghosts left behind as the earth moves away.
Yes! AP and Reuters are great! Those two basically comprise my entire news feed, supplemented by a handful of other sources that fall on either side of center (bias-wise).
“neutral outlets like CNN”…listen, I’m all for shining as much light as possible on the disgrace to journalism that is Fox “News”, but CNN is about as neutral as sulfuric acid.
Or aluminum
There was no accusation, but I apologize if it came across that way.
No one’s saying you didn’t experience what you say…just that it does not seem to be an experience shared by many others.
Seems the actual unpopular opinion is in the comments.
I’m not sure if you are just super unlucky and happened to be in the wrong places at the wrong time or if you’re exaggerating your experience, but my wife and I are avid campers and we’ve never had that experience at any of the National Forests or BLM areas we’ve stayed at. Are you mindful about hunting seasons when you are in these places? Obviously if you go during a hunting season, you’re going to hear gunshots. But outside of hunting seasons, I’ve rarely (if ever) heard single gunshots in these areas, let alone something that “sounds like a militia”.
In my experience (living in a very rural area), when people just want to target shoot, the vast majority of them do so either at a gun range or on private land. I’ve never encountered someone doing that on public lands of any kind. Is it possible that what you’re hearing could be on neighboring land where there might be a range or something?
I’m not saying no one has ever done this, but as someone who frequents these places, it’s certainly not an epidemic like you described. Again, maybe you are just really unlucky and just happened to be there on the days when the few weirdos who do that were there.
That is a pretty big help financially… indirectly anyway.
