You’re in an abusive relationship with the twitter algo.
So, you need to abuse it right back.
Block, ignore, mute, actively search for things you like, curate your follows, and only like things you want to see more of. It’ll sort itself out pretty quick.

...isn't he basically a libertarian-lite candidate who hates jews and is all in on immigration and coasted by in politics by screaming about the epstein files?
Kind of a non-starter as a presidential nominee.

I am horrendously annoyed that this game is basically a clear... I don't know of rip-off is the right term. Copy-pasted? Heavily influenced by? Deepspace Emporium.
Or maybe it's just the signature of this particular weird genre. I dunno.
...I'm still waiting for the actual game of DE to come out and not just the demo so I can mod the renting option to not increase ad infinitum.

I think it’s fair to claim that a number of leftists will take away the wrong things from the midterm results - not as a result of various factors in play and more as an endorsement to double-down on leftist policy.
Some will accuse me of nutpicking, but already the twitter horde is celebrating about taking the right’s guns and putting them in camps.
Given the past few years of the left indulging in assasination and violence, expecting more of the same from them is probably fairly sensible.

...I mean, no? I'm fairly sure that the idea of PSA having QC issues is just Old News - PSA is basically the 'good enough' of the AR world in terms of grabbing a quick SHTF rifle to have on hand(with plenty of ammo. You are training with your rifle alot, aren't you, anon?)
People have been fucking around with PSA uppers for a long time specifically due to being so cheap, only to find that they're actually... reasonably good?
I mean, it's no Bear Creek Armory, but...
If you're really tied to cost=performance, just upgrade to something like an M&P. Or a Daniel Defense. But you can buy 3 to 4 PSAs(depending on your taste) compared to one DD or M&P, so...
Speaking from personal experience, I think it's good for everyone firearm enthusiast to have atleast one really cheap AR, as you learn really quick that you'll treat a really cheap gun radically different compared to something alot more rare or expensive.
Now, having said all that... I'll give you fair warning; when you start getting into optics, that's when you're going to start encountering an existential crisis when you realize most optics actually worth a goddamn will be more expensive than your actual rifle.

A lie I get tired of refuting.
...I am fairly, reasonably certain that mods have noted, in the past, that they take Quality Contributions into account when discussing about how to handle some posters.
I'm not like some individuals whom possess perfect knowledge and can bring out all the receipts on a whim, but if you say this isn't the case, then I'll be sure to make a note of that for the future.

If I’m ordering out for coffee, it’s likely due to needing caffeine, so a triple-shot espresso is my go-to.
If I’m in a more fey and mellow mood, I confess to enjoying a nice cafe latte with sugar.
In my experience, the only way I’ve ever gotten non-bitter coffee is by using freshly ground beans.

Counterpoint: Uniform chasers are a thing.
My former boss was a part-time policeman, and the times he'd get approached when in uniform - well, that number wasn't zero, let's say.
Don't underestimate the appeal of men who have government permission to kill to some women.

To play the devil’s advocate, counterpoint: Darwin. Who’s behavior was so egregious that many people assume his lack of posting is due to being banned(he’s not) or accusing people of being Darwin alts to get around said ban.
Irrespective of Dase’s ban, the motte is very much a case of an Animal Farm, and has been so for some time.

Mega-dosing on vitamin C and getting your core temp up for an excessive(thirty minutes, give or take) period of time, such as saunas or intense cardio.
Nasal spray also helps.

While Flock data-gathering will make true-anonymizing... difficult, shall we say, I shall endeavor to make it as complicated for these creatures as possible out of pure spite alone.
Well, unless the amusing trend of 'wrecks Flock Cameras and juries refuse to convict' continues. Then it's just a free-for-all.

At least we now have confirmation that Bioware was basically purging people that didn't neatly fit in with thier left-leaning politics.

This is making the very bad assumption that those 40 acres plots are useable as residence/homesteading from the get-go.
Buyer, as always, beware. I’ve seen ten acre plots that look excellent on map and paper only to go to them during a large thunderstorm and find the entire property under several inches of water due to surrounding development. Whoops!

The Stereotypical Horse Girl is also rich as flip, and as such, doesn't need the money.
I still remember when my mother took horse riding lessons and made noises about buying the horse she really liked, with a price-tag of around 40K.
For a horse.
That will die in a decade or so.
My response to this was along the lines of 'Are you absolutely insane?', especially as she was expecting me to help take care of the damn thing. That would not have ended well.

It's Red Tribe buying the guns with Red Tribe money, but it's Blue Tribe driving them to do it.
While I'll freely admit that I'm not a firearms historian beyond that of a casual dabbler, there's a solid argument to be made that the entire reason why the AR platform as a whole is so insanely popular nowadays(to the point where some people call it 'American's Rifle' - or maybe I'm just delusional and made that up in my head, uh-) is specifically because Clinton and the Democrats as a whole went 'nuh uh', thereby driving the demand for the forbidden fruit up through the roof.
That said, doing a quick perusals of the models Ruger is discontinuing looks to be... well, a long line of revolvers. And, sadly, revolvers, while fun and cool looking guns, just aren't that popular. Ruger's still making it's LCP line, and that brand of gun is so stupidly popular they'll made rare and weird production lines of the damn thing in various colors.
So it's probably more of a case of Ruger following the money, as opposed to any sort of political pressure just not driving gun sales.
Pretty much, yes. I've noticed that X will basically pay attention to posts that you look at in any way, shape, or form - you don't need to like and/or engage with them, just browse them.
So it's a bit of an uphill battle.
