@crafantale @Owen_Stephens A jian weights 1.5 - 2.5 pounds-ish, depending on the material. If you mean the modern, competitive wushu version, I'd guess about 1.5.
@LakotaMan1 There's a fry bread food truck near work. Amazing stuff. If more people ate each other's food with an open mind, the world would be a better place. Food is such a great first step into getting to know a culture.
@LakotaMan1 I live near Yosemite. The Oak Fire last year was burning right for my door before it turned. Dry brush season can be terrifying, especially when tourists roll through. Or, in the case of Oak, method out arsonists.
@FailCodeGames@Boblaze426@CalltoActivism What will happen is that the 1% will make even more and we'll lose all of our sweet deductions. It will end up costing us more money. It's not an increase in the technical sense, but we'll all pay more in taxes. And it ends up adding more thana trillions debt knthe long run.
@FailCodeGames@Boblaze426@CalltoActivism Wow. This is juicy. Republicans don't raise taxes? Let's play with that a while. Reagan raised taxes every year he was in office. Have you seen the tax bill they're pushing on us right now? Does it reduce the debt by more than $1 trillion? Yeah. But you won't see a dime...
@MarkDay03532755 @harkner1206@LindseyGrahamSC Okay. Just passing by, butdo you for one instant believe he isn't a criminal? He's been a low-class huckster since the 80s. His long standing nickname in NYC is Don the Con. He's a con man. Always has been. He publicly bragged about taking confidential documents.
@LindseyGrahamSC (2/2) it's time to get off your ass, Senator. Take back your party from the clown and his voters. Take back your self-respect. I don't like you. Never have. But maybe you can look in the mirror again without wanting to vomit. He took everything you had. Take. It. Back.
@LindseyGrahamSC Okay, Senator. Remember when you said there'd be hell to pay if he fired Jeff Sessions? Remember you said there would be war? Remember how you loathed the orange man baby who thinks only of himself? You knew him for the usurper and criminal that he is... (1/2)
@GrumpyVeteran3 @stephen_dee @GavinNewsom ... in Home Depot a few years ago, or yhe terrified/paranoid man babies who need three guns to go to the store, for instance. Knowing when not to use a firearm is as important as knowing when to.
@GrumpyVeteran3 @stephen_dee @GavinNewsom Who do I trust with firearms? People who understand things like RoE, trigger discipline, and who've actually trained for the stress of combat. Soldiers not suffering from PTSD is a good start.
Who don't I trust? Everyone else. The woman who opened fire on a shoplifter... 1/2
@MMthee0ne@joncoopertweets While you're praying in church, I invite you to read Numbers 5:11-31. It's the only place abortion is mentioned in the Bible. About how it's mandatory in cases of adultery.
Per the Bible, life begins at the first breath, when the Holy Spirit enters. Before that it's empty.
@SolsRoles I love the getting some peace and quiet bit so much I made it my default. It took a lot of doing, but it's a great space in which to be creative.
@LakotaMan1 Why would this be offensive? It's factual. The conquest of the "New World" was a horrific, genocidal land and resource grab. That it happened is offensive. That someone is honest about it isn't.
@Morgan1Leigh@paul_5207@LmaoGPT@xeno_swift@NikkiHaley Hong Kong returned to China following the end of a 99 year lease of the land to Great Britain. Bush Jr gave China permanent Most Favored Nation status, and our economies are and have been inextricably linked for decades. Everything electronic and many other goods are made there
@FoxNews@NikkiHaley Funny, but Bush Jr declared them our permanent Most Favored Nation. They're also one of our most important trade allies. Our economies are utterly interdependent.
@SolsRoles Death in RPGs is often... lame. What should end epically is so often anticlimactic, followed by paperwork as the new character gets made and introunced. About 20 years ago, I adopted a similar method to yours. Player choice is everything.
