I had to look up what an "endomorph" is; sounds like it's the "built like a tank" body type. So I mean, c'mon man. I know the kinda people you're aiming for, but you hit a bunch of other people in the process. Not judging you too hard, I've done the same thing (and will probably continue to make the same or similar mistakes), but... Yeah.

Edit: to explain my discomfort, based on what I've read, "endomorph" is a body type that could be described as stocky. Not fat, not obese or stupid or a meathead, but just stocky. I've known people like that, and none of them were the kinda people who'd get fooled by Trump. They weren't stupid, they were in very, very good shape, and they were kind people. The implication in the post, however, is that people who have that body type are easily grifted by Trump & Co.

(Also, fat shaming isn't a very nice thing to do. You might think obese people are ugly or gross, but they're still people and they still have feelings. Don't be a dick.)

"Your body, my choice?"

Over your dead body.

I'm hoping she'll eventually come around. In the meantime though, I'm getting to try and figure out how to get on my feet long enough to move out.

Alright, thanks for the info.

Aside from being a bullpup and the clumsiness of trying to load two independent tube mags, what's wrong with it? I'm not expecting to storm a fortified position; I'm only expecting to use it for self-defense and I highly doubt I'd need to go through both mags in such a situation (if so then I'd probably be fucked either way) so reloading shouldn't be a problem. Bullpup is bullpup *shrug*. The other option is some form of semi-auto shotgun like a Saiga-12 that I can buy a drum mag for.

I'm not really interested in a rifle or pistol. Not really interested in something that can penetrate multiple walls and potentially end up in my neighbor's neighbor's wall. If I end up actually getting organized with a group then that'd change, but my modus operandi right now is to put my head down until I'm in a more secure environment; which means basically a shotgun because that seems like the ideal self-defense weapon for a home environment.

I love that song... It's just so sad. The kid wants to spend time with his dad but can't because his dad's always busy, and then the dad wants to spend time with his kid but can't because his child's all grown up and is busy now.

Oh yeah, the game is short so I highly recommend 100% it. I think I took 6ish hours to play the entire thing, and I think I missed a side quest. But yeah, the game is basically "be gay, do crimes: the game".

Helped my dad wrap a box in about an inch of duct tape (which was then gift wrapped) for a cousin's Christmas present. The box was full of packing peanuts and had a false bottom with a gift card underneath. At no point had we stopped to consider whether or not it could be opened again (it took a long time to get it open lol).

Yes, but indie games helped fix that. Dunno how deep you've gotten into indie games, but here's a list of them to try:

Cruelty Squad (it is unironically one of the best games I've ever played. Give it a chance, it'll grow on you)

Balatro

Buckshot Roulette

WEBFISHING

Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (++if you enjoyed Jet Set Radio (Future))

Abiotic Factor

Lethal Company (I personally wasn't a fan, but I can see the appeal; I would be more into it if there was more random junk to pick up)

Hypnospace Outlaw

Factorio (just released an expansion! Also don't wait for sales, you'll be waiting forever)

Snufkin: Melody of Moominvalley (edit: forgot to mention that this is basically "be gay, do crimes: the game". It's short so I highly recommend 100% it, but it's also good).

Hylics 1 & 2

The Long Drive (looks like YouTube bait, and it kinda is, but it's also the best driving game I've ever seen. Literally you, a car and 5000km of road. Any engine can go into any vehicle, so yes, you can put a bus engine on a moped. I love it. There haven't been any big updates lately though because the dev is rewriting the game to fix spaghetti code).

QT (cutesy PT parody that's all about secret hunting. Also has two extra levels with more secrets. It's kinda like i-spy but in first-person 3d)

Voices of the Void (I adore this game, it's a sci-fi pseudo-horror game styled after some weird mix of gmod and Half-Life. The premise is that you're a researcher who's been shipped off to a radio telescope array, alone. Your goal is to search the sky for signals and learn more about the cosmos. It takes itself just seriously enough and has lots of secrets and surprises to find.)

Thanks. It wasn't the reaction I was expecting, kinda the opposite. My dad's the one who had sisters and only nieces on his side of the family, so I was expecting him to be the one with hang-ups about it. Nope, it was my mom. What I was hoping for was support for a little while longer until I felt like I could live on my own, but it sounds like that's not gonna happen. My biggest frustration is not coming out sooner tbh. Woulda given me more time to make plans and meant that maybe I could have skipped years of feeling like a lazy, freeloading piece of shit (no, they never called me that, but that doesn't stop me from feeling like it).

Thanks, it really sucks. I didn't expect the reaction I got. I kinda expected my dad to be the one who got upset while my mom was supportive, not the opposite. My dad was the one who had two sisters and only nieces on his side of the family, so I kinda expected he was gonna be the one upset by it; but he's cool with it.

It also blew me away to hear that my grandparents voted for Trump after years of talking about how much they regretted voting for him in 2016 and how they'd never vote for him again. Guess I'm never coming out to them; not that I was totally expecting to due to their age, but it'll be fun coming up with a reason why moving out means I'm forced to move across the country and possibly never come back (at least probably not while they're still living).

I've been eyeing a DP12. Probably complete overkill but at the same time, if someone comes knocking down my door then I want to be able to erase them with extreme prejudice if I have to.
