  • This verges on actually mattering, but knives on magnetic strips should be blade down.

    Pros:

    • when grabbing the knife you are holding it in the safest way possible automatically with the blade pointed down rather than blade up like fucking Chucky.

    • If you botch grabbing it, it falls away from your hand/arm rather than toward/on top of it.

    • the handles hook over the strip and are more secure

    • the handles are all on the same plane, and again if you dislodge a separate knife unexpectedly it falls away from your hand/arm










  • There are more of us then them, we are more self sufficient than them, we are more resilient than them, we are more desperate than them. The real world is our natural environment, the rich are the arrogant invaders. Vietnam comes to mind when I think what a war of rich vs poor might look like. It won’t be near misses and broken escalators for long, when a sufficiently large number of people become sufficiently mad, their ivory towers will become prisons.






  • To be fair, it seems more like a rich asshole thing, than a political affiliation thing strictly speaking, but there definitely seems to be a strong Republican bias to the perpetrators. I mean, I think even Donald was technically a Democrat during the birthday card period unless I’m mistaken.

    Edit:

    Republican (1987–1999): Trump first registered as a Republican in 1987.

    Reform Party (1999–2001): In 1999, he left the Republican Party and joined the Reform Party, even forming an exploratory committee for a potential presidential run in 2000.

    Democrat (2001–2009): He changed his registration to Democrat in 2001.

    Republican (2009–2011): He switched back to the Republican Party in 2009.

    Unaffiliated (2011–2012): Trump briefly registered with no political party in 2011.

    Republican (2012–present): He rejoined the Republican Party in 2012, ahead of the 2012 presidential primary, and has remained a Republican since.

    The card is from 2003, so during his Democrat phase. Though it’s pretty clear the man has no actual actual convictions (so to speak) and just does whatever he feels is personally adventageous at any given moment.
