There's like 150 to 1,000 km between each Starlink, not even counting the 3d-ness of space. They'd be lucky to catch one ICBM with a Starlink-interceptor, Starlinks just wouldn't have the propulsion to get there, much less get there in time.

if you had "tankies" with wealth and power, he'd have been targeting them
The PSL, along with a number of other Marxist-Leninist and progressive groups, is backed by an American multi-hundred-millionaire left-winger, Neville Singham. I haven't found him in any of the Epstein files at all, and he's a quite wealthy and powerful guy, along with being a literal tankie.
the kind of wealthy socialite Epstein was doing, you would have to abandon your communist principles entirely
This might be true though, but I think the emphasis might be more on "the kind" and "socialite" than wealthy. Doing stuff with Epstein kinda requires abandoning your principles it seems, if you had any, even if those principles weren't at all communist. Pedophilia being bad is a nominally common principle.
The funny bit about that is that the new Trump admin has gotten rid of a lot of people in the military he didn't like. And even just normal bureaucrats.
Biden fired ("purged") a number of Trump people as well. He left way too many, though, it was kinda shocking.

Exactly! I would have recommended r/fosscad, if it hadn't been banned. There's a Rocket Chat where there's a bunch of beta models that I'm in too.
3d printed guns, at least partially, are just so easy and convenient. It's also super easy to CNC a lot of 3d printed gun stuff, which is awesome. After all, most modern firearms are mostly polymer, and PLA+ is the common mans polymer.
The older make it in the metal shop is still possible, you can find a bunch of designs, books, and manuals on Odysee. There's even a number of modern newly designed metal shop guns. There's some hardware store guns that are new, and meant to be a little safer than the old models.

haha made you look
but no, fr, a Tikka would be fun too. I think it's really up to your budget though, how much do you want to spend on ammo vs on your rifle, etc?
Though if you're in a state where they've already banned a good chunk of semi-automatic rifles, you might want to buy the Mini-14 while you still can. Gun control folks won't be satisfied while there's still exceptions, and in lots of states the restrictions just keep coming, slowly, but eventually.
A lot of his fanbase are pedophiles, including fairly high-up "lieutenants", and he's acknowledged it a number of times. They barely conceal it, that ice snowflake symbol and the term 'p are just dead givaways. He doesn't appear to really be a pedophile himself though.
I think there's a much simpler explanation than him being a pedophile, it's just meta post irony. It's exactly the kind of thing that would appeal to the young disaffected right-wing males that make up his base, he can say and do wild things and it only makes his charisma with them stronger. It appeals to the pedophiles in his base, but everyone that already likes him isn't going to be put off by this. Making light of the situation like this might even gain him anti-pedophile followers, oddly enough.

He does live in China now, but for most of Epsteins socializing and being terrible he was here in America.
Like FunkyStuff said, most of the powerful and wealthy tankies are outside of the global north. There just aren't that many communists in America, at all.
Would Black Panthers endorsing the Soviets actions in Czechoslovakia count them as tankies? Or do all Tankies have to endorse the earlier invasion of Hungary, disqualifying both many of them and a number of us Hexbears?
I think you just might not know that much about the Black Panther Party, and Marxism-Leninism, as you think you do. Tankie is just a term people use willy-nilly to smear their opponents who generally hold the correct opinion, and I see it regularly deployed against people who opposed both invasions, and are anarchists. Many people on .world have claimed that .db0 is a tankie instance, despite them all being anarchists, mostly because they hold some bog standard socialist opinions.
But didn't they wholeheartedly endorse those AES countries that did exactly the stuff you're criticizing?
And Eldridge Cleaver, a prominent Black Panther Party leader and its "information minister," publicly defended the Soviet invasion of Czechoslovakia. He literally visited Moscow after it happened in 1968, endorsed the tanks, and criticized the Soviets for even letting Czechoslavakia start liberalizing and de-communism-izing in the first place. Other Black Panthers didn't really say much about Hungary or Czechoslavakia, since it largely wasn't relevant to the things they were doing.
https://www.marxists.org/history/etol/newspape/bulletin/v05n02-w091-sept-16-1968-Bulletin.pdf Here's an anti-Stalinist "socialist" newspaper from the time, scroll down a bit and you'll find the stuff about the Black Panther Party and Eldridge Cleaver.
America is going all in on dumb cryptocurrencies which expose everything (including all of their fraud, lmao), and they don't like Monero. We should be asking ourselves, why is that? Why is our biggest adversary, Big Satan, such an opponent of Monero? If the US government is leaning away from Monero, then maybe we should be using it to fund 
, to buy , all while having it look just like redacted to them.
Bitcoin is an open ledger dependent on extremely heavy computation and a value store backed by nothing, two peak Capitalism brained things to have and put all of your money into. What if you could be one of those gold(futures)bugs, but with an even worse environmental impact? And telling the government exactly where and what your assets are? Generally connected directly to your real identity, and even your real ID? That's also a massive scam in favor of Trump and his friends? Sounds brilliant.
oh yeah lmao, I remember the Arch Linux dual booting page having notes about how Windows could mess up your system BIOS time thanks to that. Why would one make the intentional repeated choice of doing time objectively wrong?
I stand with the only Democracies in the Middle East (PFLP, DFLP, PIJ, and Hamas) against the barbaric Israelites. This whole mess is the fault of places like Saudi Israelia and the United Israeli Emirates, who repeatedly attacked these innocent young Democracies for no reason.
After the IRA and PIRA won, the IDF (Irish Defence Force) has heroically defended the innocent from all threats. No one, from the littlest Israeli hunger striker, to the biggest Israeli terrorist, is safe while Democracy and the Islamic character of the World is at stake. Genocides would never come about Democratically, but if the Israelis get their way and end the Islamic Earth, a multicultural non-apartheid Earth where no-one is a second class citizen would literally be genocide against these Democracies of the Middle East. It would be just like what Stalin did to those poor ethnic Germans.
This is Hizaki! He's a really, really hot Visual Kei artist, and he's really good at a number of instruments. He's really a big inspiration for me, sometimes you'll find me wearing outfits I copied straight from him, since he's this incredible in his mid-to-late 40's. Just absolutely wonderful, all around.
Month long megathreads for smaller comms, that are only pinned in the comm, is something I was talking about in the moderator Matrix chat. c/anime already does something similar, so I figured c/fashion could do it too.
If you have any suggestions about how I could change this megathread to make it more fashion related, that would be greatly appreciated (i.e. like how the c/anime megathread is explicitly for suggestions/what you're watching).
I'd also love it if people could make posts that are guides for fashion. I'd pin them in the comm, at least for a while, and if they're good enough I'd try to get it pinned sitewide. We don't have a wiki, so it'd be greatly appreciated. c/fashion doesn't just have to be pictures of fits.
Talk about whatever you want, as long as it's fashion related. There's plenty to talk about that might not warrant a whole post.

When you're taking pictures of yourself, don't use a mirror, it'll double the dirt and distort you. Just put your phone on a little tripod (very cheap) at waist level roughly 6 feet away, and use the self-timer. Try not to go any lower, that's how you look like a giant with a chin. Too high above you, and you can look like you have a massive had, and a small body.
Face the light source, not away from it, and diffuse lighting is generally better.
There's loads of posing guides out their, generally just try to get your whole body standing up. Maybe hit THE POSE.
Oops, forgot to hit post when I first finished, no matter.

Woke DEI prison system making people of European heritage in South America White? And male? Crazy.
/uj he's genuinely white, most people in South America are descended from Europeans, he just has a different ethnicity (which, notably, does not change race). But ofc, illegals can't be white males, they aren't like the heroic gamergate masses.

I've posted stuff in the Discussion thread, and I've talked about it in the Mod Chat.
I think if you keep all or most of the megas pinned because visibility, the people that made the complaints the admins are trying to address won't be satisfied at all. That list is a lot of posts, and pinned posts would still take up most to all of the screen on load. I feel like visibility is just contradictory with the goals of this experiment. Keeping all the megas and portalling the events is a decent idea, one that I think most people will agree with, just not the people that want 1-3 pinned posts total and complain about pinned post bloat (even though you can make them disappear, and the take no time at all to scroll by). They're a small group that wants to minorly inconvenience everyone, rather than have to deal with an even more moderate and minor inconvenience, so I think we really should just ignore them. It's such a selfish, uncommon, and unpleasant that most people just want it back to normal, and the few people that are trying to find a compromise don't actually themselves believe it's a big deal.
But the mods and admins seem to really care about that minority opinion a lot, they talk about the opinions of people that don't even seem to exist in the thread. If they can't get something with very few pinned posts, I think they'll just return to normal, then try a very similar experiment. I honestly think it's likely they'll keep doing it, over a long timespan, until people finally agree to have basically no pinned posts.
Thanks, I like it too. Maybe they could have it as a pinned comment so it's more visible than the post body?
