I'm grabbing popcorn for this one ...
(Not to be one of those people who comments but doesn't offer help, if it were me I'd replace the entire base. One possible suggestion - find a different base second hand and adapt it to fit the chair. There is no karmic rule that says the base has to be the same brand as the chair, or even match it. It all depends on how the existing chair attaches. You might even take the modifications to an extreme).
Lol. You are welcome with your out of the box thinking. Just don’t kill our user base. We are also stealing “Beehawed” as a verb. Sorry.
I somehow feel as if you would be a hoot to have a beer with, but unfortunately this is the nice Lemmy instance with … shock … users over the age of 65. Even though part of me thinks you are just trolling the mods, we can’t leave up anything that even remotely reads as advocacy for murder.
Stay away from those bears.
Gerrymandering + Electoral College = affirmative action for rural white people.
Warning: this article contains graphic descriptions of the murder of women by their domestic partners.
You have worthwhile points to make. Try again without the personal commentary.
High tech scroll. Love it.
This screams "white panic"
You made a good point but we're trying to keep the discourse civil here and have to apply the rules fairly across the board. Feel free to re-post without the color commentary and we'll see how this plays out.
There are a lot of good responses to you here. @FatCrab raised mercenary use of U.S. forces - I am not familiar with that story but I believe Trump advisor Erik Prince did in fact offer mercenary support to the Wagner group.
Trump at one point mooted invading Venezuela. Members of the GOP (and reportedly Trump himself) are currently floating the idea of bombing Mexico. And let's not forget, Trump has famously threatened to use the military against American citizens.
So unless you want to leave the impression that you are just a right wing troll on a drive by, which would not be healthy for your long-term prospects here, perhaps you'd care to expound on the nuance of your argument?
The populist GOP is as intellectually bankrupt as it is morally bankrupt. Because it has no animating principle beyond fear and greed, its leaders will never stop with this bullshit. They will dip into endless oceans of manufactured outrage to fuel one attack after another on vulnerable out groups. Ad infinitum, for ever and ever.
We will have peace only after they are driven out of government utterly and completely, and their leadership is ripped root and branch from public life. The only real question is whether that is going to be possible while (hopefully) avoiding bloodshed.
But anti-vax misinformation , which literally kills people, is perfectly fine.
This guy likes to portray himself as a rationalist and a free thinker, but he is nothing more than a scared man-child willing to pander to the dregs of society just for $8 and a dose of validation.
The sooner this festering boil of a social media site implodes, the better.
