Traceroute traces packets by IP address so he’s “finding” the IP of the virus and then deleting that location which makes no sense because you can’t really delete an IP address.

Oh yeah, forgot about that. Looking at it now that looks pretty bad. Was just trying to emphasize I’m not removing it but it definitely looks pretty power trippy and I apologize.

Edit: as far as locking it goes I was getting absolutely bombarded with notifications while at work and I don’t really have an active mod team.

Well, not gonna beat around the bush, was having a shitty day that day for one thing and I did find the report for someone saying “do elon next!” annoying, and then found out the reporter is a known mass reporter for shit like that, so I at the time decided to just “nip it in the bud” if you will. I didn’t think at the time it was a big deal but I guess it was. After a bit of time passed I decided to reverse the ban. I keep forgetting reports go to both instances’ admins, not just me, so reporting something that is against other instances’ rules is fair.

This probably won’t change anyone’s mind but that is my side of the story.

Humped it to smithereens

A cruel jape!

Costco is a wholesale store commonly found in US cities. They sell really cheap food and are famous for their cheap as dirt hot dogs that cost $1.50.

2 cats really isn’t too different than one cat. I mean, yeah, you’ll pay for another vet bill from time to time but it’s usually not that big a deal. If you can afford it I’d say go for it.

I was shooting my fully legal, registered SBR at a private range I was sharing with some boomer. He saw the length of it and was like, “Ooooh! Don’t get caught by law enforcement with that or you’ll be in deep shit!”. I explained that I had all the proper paperwork for it and even showed him that it was engraved with my name and the city I “built” the gun in like the law requires. He was still like, “…yeah but that’s a stock, not a pistol brace”. I just decided to drop the topic after assuring him one more time that it’s legal.

Does he have an Etsy store?

I have an embroidered, velcro-backed patch of this for my range hat.

The exact scene I thought of when I wrote the title.

That’s different than arguing with people on the internet. Daryl Davis shows these people their shared humanity face-to-face. All I’ve ever seen from letting fash “debate” people on the internet is them slowly spreading their ideology to vulnerable people who are viewing the same conversations. Saying stuff that sounds reasonable on the surface like, “not everyone you disagree with is a nazi” even though they want to kill minorities as if that motive vs not wanting that to happen/doing everything in your power to make sure it doesn’t happen is a simple disagreement.

Nazis/extremists don’t respond to rational arguments against their ideology.
