Not So Pro 3

I don’t think its so much being triggered (guys taking a break from here) as it is just tired of hearing about all of it in general. Thats all anyone wants to talk about all day, everyday. In the store, at the gas station, on tv, etc,etc.

Most guys come on here (like i do) to try and get away from all of it. When you log on and the first thing you see is a political post, many just log right back off.

2 things that never end well……conversations about religion and politics. I rarely put my 2 cents in on either topic.

I'm clicking "unwatch thread" and moving on.

Logic and Science don't apply anymore.

They do in my world.

But, is there much political content being posted in this thread?
Compared to everything that's happening here and there, I feel like what's being posted is microscopic.

I agree.

I've never taken much of a side politically, people from all sides have made valid points... people laugh at me..I even agree with some of the things Bernie Sanders says sometimes.

But some things aren't political (even though they've been made political)...they are right and wrong. And that's where people need to draw the line and stand their ground. I'm one of them.

@Mastermind

Why can’t there be a dedicated spot for the bullsh!t to be spewed? I stopped watching the news long ago and this place should not be filled with the same bullsh!t. Make ope great again. Bring back Dallas the tranny

Well, when I found this thread that is exactly what I thought it was. Thin skinned need not apply. Oops…my bad

 

[Woodwackr]

I'm not hung up on it, it's just a shining example of the degradation society has experienced recently.

Idiocracy was supposed to be a movie, not a documentary.

And 1984 is supposed to be a novel, not an instruction manual.

That too.

I think political arguments are fun, my pusssy never drips. After all, I have testicles. I don't catch feelings over it. You guys have the right to kill me if I ever do.

But like I said, some things are FLAT OUT right and wrong, and the more people keep their mouth shut the more the nonsense prevails.

Let's put it up for discussion. Who wants to get back to absolutely zero political BS?

Sadly.....it's everywhere now. It's almost impossible to have a conservation anywhere with anyone without it being brought up in some fashion.

I don't own the forum Larry.

I am mistaken then. Sorry.

We have to build a fire rated wall around all this garbage. Plus a few copper lines in the way up higher. Maybe @stihl livin can get the plumbers junk out of our way. View attachment 450358

Fire caulk, lots and lots of fire caulk, lol. Or maybe just form it up and pour around it, lol.

I understand that there’s a lot of gray area between what is political, and what is not. It just frustrates me that we’re losing some solid members because of it. People come here to escape the day-to-day mess. That’s my 2 cents.

Agreed. I find myself here when my friends on Facebook want to start being political. I usually scroll on and leave it be, but some days it just gets to me. Everyone has their own beliefs, like Husky’s are boat anchors and Fords are junk, but we don’t have to cram it down other’s throats.

It might be microscopic in the grand scheme of things, but to some who come here to escape it, it’s too much. I get why some have left and haven’t returned.

Bingo. My thoughts as well.

I voted no, only because it is impossible to stop. Someone will make an innocuous comment that kicks up the dust. I would love for it to not go down the rabbit hole of politics. I avoid it whenever possible. We all need too police ourselves, and not others.

I had an idea once about dealing with a55holes on the road. What if every driver had 4 darts, and if you encountered an a55hole, you fired one of your darts. Once a driver had accumulated 4 different owners darts, he got a timeout. And those darts were returned to their owners. Since you only had 4, you had to use them wisely. I know teenage drivers would go around shooting their friends to give them a timeout. As teens do shît like that.

While I am not a fan of nannyism, it is something to consider. I have no idea how this would be implemented, just a thought exercise. (I know, I have too much time on my hands)

Whatever way this goes, I appreciate the collective comraderie on this site. You're all a bunch of good cûnts!

This is the point I was trying to make, the inevitability of it creeping in, intended or not

I had already figured I wasn't going to participate anymore if it meant writing out a post, parsing it for subtext, subjecting it to the ACME Butt Hurt meter, and finally deciding it was snowflake safe

I don't think that is what this thread is about

Evening gentlemen. The kids were out due to “a chance of flooding” so we started the guard on the dozer blade. This blade has a spill skirt on top that had to be cut out to get to the actual top of the blade that was thick enough to take the force. Put a wide base plate, 3x4x.375 wall tube uprights welded to that and the back of the moldboard. We will run the same tube across the top and down to the blade as “wings”. Ran 4 passes of 7018 and realized I didn’t have enough to finish in the rod oven. I thought I had another sealed can but I didn’t. We went to the welding supply place and picked up some more rods and a few odds and ends I’ve been needing. 7018 Excalibers are $4.50/lb! Anyway, we will finish it Saturday since he is this vested in it. I don’t want to finish it without him. I’ll probably let him weld the front plate on with the MIG since he has it down pat. We push a lot of brush and you can’t see in front of this dozer very well. You can see the corners great, but we already had one OOPS with something come right over the blade.

My son removing the spill skirt on top of the blade. No more than we used it, it was already bent pretty good.
