Would you like to talk more?
I’m interested in making friends. I’ll send you my email if you’d like

I think it’s “eye spot”
Tax stamps (recently repealed)
For the longest time, if you wanted certain types of weapons, you had to pay a $200 tax to own that weapon. These include surpressors, full auto guns, short barrel rifles, and short barrel shotguns
The point wasn’t to ban these things it was to make them prohibitively expensive because “its the poor’s who vomit violence”. And this tax was implemented in the 1940’s where $200 was off 2 or 4 times the cost of the gun itself.
A different example is gun registries and concealed carry license databases. I don’t trust the police to act calm when interacting with me when they know I have a gun. There are special classes that CCL holders take often so that they know how to read a cop and keep them calm during a traffic stop or a welfare check because cops are trained to shoot first and are very scared of the masses.
Think of Paretti here. Shot dead for having a gun. People blamed it on the ICE agent being a violent fascist thug trained like that. I don’t see it that way. I think he operated like a cop who was told no consequences.
We have videos of cops approaching black men, committing the crime of being in white people spaces, who ask them if they have a gun, the man says yes, the cop tells them at gun point to pull it out and drop it, and then shoost the man when he touches the gun.
I don’t trust police to use surveillance state information like who owns what guns in a way that won’t get me killed. Its why I’m still hesitant to get any tax stamp items. I’d love an SBR, but then I am legally required to let the ATF “inspect” my home if they ask me to. I have to tell the ATF when and where I’m moving to if I change states.

1·7 days agoMy friend. You as an individual cannot be targeted with genocide. Genocide is the erasure of a whole cultural identity.
That’s another linguistic oddity you’re using that I think is upsetting people to be hostile against you.
It sounds like you’re being harassed and that’s terrible that you’re experiencing that kind of violence.
Is this danger around speaking, is it something that’s happening to you in real life or just online? It sounds like something bad is happening to you in real life, but I think these issues your having for which you’re asking for permission to speak is caused by your linguistic oddities.
Okay, but those are both normal identities here. Have you had bad experiences based on those identities here?
Its an odd linguistic choice to identify as a “male homosexual” specifically and especially as a defiant statement against a seemingly specific type of bigotry.
Further its odd to start from the assumption that people will be racist towards you as well. Especially here where we can’t know that information unless given to us.
You’re clearly traumatized and reacting in response to that, but it starts the conversation off on a terrible foot when you assume the community you’re posting to for the first time is going to be hostile to you for things we cannot know unless you share it. I think the hostility you’ve encountered here, including my swearing, was triggered by this because you offended us.

Where are you trying to talk?
Do mean like “speak to a therapist?”

What do you mean “male” and “homosexuality” is incompatible?
Further what do you mean your ethnicity is divisive? What are you talking about?
You should talk about poetry if that’s what you want to do.

I can’t tell you the names of a single neighbor I have now.
It would be so nice to just assume Titus or Lucien and be reasonably right.

5·15 days agoThis video by Northridgefix always stuck with me because most of why his business grew is because he spent so much Google ads that he made enough money to then move to a strip mall by a major road all while making YouTube videos and taking mailed in work.
He has another video looking for new employees because he had too much business.

23·18 days agoI’m a simple man.
I got to thepiratebay.org
I download what I want and put it on a jellyfin server
I never want much just some albums or a couple movies.
Its good enough and I’m pretty happy I don’t do anything crazy. I shouldn’t be watching this much TV as it is!
What’s even crazier is he freely admits to this.
He continues to freely admit that the best way to get views is to be seen as rich and generous because kids love that stuff.
He only knows how to YouTube and Market and he says this all the time.
Mildly related.
I have a Native American friend. Her tribe is small so they only have a relatively small plot as their reservation. So they slapped a casino there and she makes bank by simply being a tribe member.
I asked if she’s okay with that since I would feel bad making money off of peoples gambling addiction and she said
“I don’t feel bad for white people.”
And honestly
- I don’t think that’s a completely shocking take consider all of american history
But also
- Its certainly a similar sentiment among sex workers I’ve met so its not an unfounded accusation.
This is very much a “if your eye is causing you to sin, pluck it out” moment, but still













I’m delving into astrology for once. It seems interesting.
If you do consider getting a tarot deck, Lisa Porters mystical Tarot is very pretty
