What have you assholes done now?
Quit acting like the desire to see things in a better light and focus on other aspects of life besides politics is somehow criminal. You politicos are spiraling, and we'd rather not be sucked down the drain with you.

Politics are not mandatory and not giving a poo poo about them makes you no less an empathetic human being. Don't hijack empathy with your politics.

There's good reasons why some people are scared shitless and it has not got a thing to do with LOOK AT ME.

Like people losing their healthcare

Like the LGBT who have to face Mike Pence having national influence.

Or a bunch of other highly relavent reasons.

Your country is a shithole and it's highly likely about to get worse. Give people some space to vent.

A Super Tool 300 in the US is $80

The EXACT same leatherman in Australia is $205. Plus freight. Wonder what the deal with importing knives into Aus is?

Also... after a proper hunting knife as dismembering and field cleaning goats with a leatherman is... not ideal.... What are Benchmade knives like? Specifically their folding blade hunting models?

Someone with a track record of being an absolute oval office to other human beings will soon be in a more important position with capability to be an absolute oval office to even more human beings. This is not something to be concerned about? Ignoring Trump's questionable past which may or may not be true, Pence's actions have happened and affected plenty of people and it's apparently bad to point it out? Astounding. Viggen. Dude.

I lost my good knife years ago and found I can order another decent one through MG trading (Subsidiary of Devondale) but drat the price stings. A machete also wouldn't go astray but I feel I'd be added to some kind of list if I bought one.

The RAV4 passed inspection and is now registered again! I'm blown away that it passed a blue slip first go. That's pretty rare. It kind of offsets the 1k+ hole in my pocket for registration and compulsory third party person insurance. It is such a loving scam.

e: on the bright side, third party property only cost me about $40 for the year. Woo!

Looking at his record, if you're gay, female, poor, in prison, on drugs, or basically anything but a well-off White Christian Male Pence should probably scare you because his policy as governor has been directly against your interests at every turn.

This is a man so low he argued that it was 'too expensive' for the state of Indiana to comply with federal prison standards for rape prevention. Who believes in conversion therapy and punishing women for having sex whenever possible.

In my opinion, Benchmade makes the best mass-produced folding knives that there are. They don't come as sharp as, say, a Spyderco (they're all hand-sharpened for some reason, so the bevel angles are kinda wonky), but the axis lock is my favorite in terms of both convenience and strength. People have done tests, and the locks are stronger than the blade is, i.e. the blade will break before the knife will fold over on your hand. I'm not a hunter, so I can't address their suitability to that particular task, but I really like their products in general, for what it's worth.

I'll be quite blunt (and yes, I know No True Scotsman might be applying here) ..... but for fucks sake, the real message of that Jewish guy 2000 years ago has got nothing to do with the utter bullshit being spewed by the Religious Right. The Right are the modern day Pharasee and today, as it was then are hypocritical assholes who pride themselves in their wealth and power, while ignoring the suffering of those who are right under their noses. They arent loving Christians, they are Lucifer's puppets straight out. I've always made it clear that I'm indeed a believer but unlike a lot of those cunts, I've read and understood what Jesus actually said and He sure as gently caress didnt turn His back on the poor or bashed minorites or refused to help the widowed or be a anti LGBT bigot. REAL Chrisitanity realizes that the guy they want to follow is a screaming left wing Liberal who gave away free food and healthcare and had a good and clear relationship with what society saw as sinners.

And what would Jesus do? Well..... He whipped the poo poo out of the money changers in the temple. He denounced the Pharasees. He was a unrepentant socialist. And frankly I'm just going to keep on calling the Religious Right demon possessed assholes because that's all they are.

Frankly I prefer the company of atheists over the wide branch of scum that kneel hypocritically in churches. And I completely understand why a lot of people now find manistream "Christianity" repellant especially as it is nothing like what Jesus actually said anymore. They are more interested in bashing dem gays and sand browns rather than fighting for healthcare for those that truly need it. Well gently caress that poo poo, I'm just completely and utterly over mega church pastors assfucking the poor for another luxury home.

FFS, I would right now love nothing better than to kick the tables over and whip me some Pharasee hypocritical rear end.

This, pretty much. I'm nominally Catholic, which is probably the closest of the majors to the actual ideal (Socialist as gently caress - all our money goes to missions and poo poo, rather than to fancy loving megachurches with their own in-built TV studio ans seating for 10,000) (Not that I 'm a fantastic Catholic - I'm a "Submarine Catholic" - you know, I surface twice a year for Easter and Christmas), and I like to point out the whole associating with sinners thing. He hung out with lepers and prostitutes, and ate dinner with a tax collector! He kept company with a bunch of working guys.
Also, he WAS a brown person, you bloody muppets.
Lotta right wing ultra-religious jerks are going to be very surprised at the red hot pokers up their asses in the afterlife, if there is one.

The answer is always "more threads". Unless there's some horrible bug hiding in Radium's nightmare code, there's always room for more threads.

Meta-chat: I don't like to come down on trying to stop topics from being discussed in the chat thread but I think at this point everyone has said their piece about the events of the past few days. I also don't think there's all that much disagreement here on the state of things, so how about we move on to less depressing topics?

Even though I could probably put something together out of the Ouya / Raspi / god knows what else hardware I have laying around, I'm going to be a sucker and drop $60 for that retro mini-NES coming out because I loving can. Also, because I really hope they make a SNES version.
