This account is mostly for shitposting. Don’t take anything it says too seriously.

My notifications stay off because I don’t play chess with pigeons. Get mad.

All my OC is created with MS Paint (not Paint 3D). I know how to use “real” photo editing software, but I still prefer Paint for memes; I enjoy how its technical limitations add a problem solving element to the creative process.

I despise ads in nearly all forms. My art aims to offer the viewer a glimpse into how I perceive them. Colors are often inverted because inverted colors are often perceived as being “ugly” and “harsh” and I think all ads are ugly and harsh-looking.

I try not to spend more than 20-30 minutes on any one piece because I think spending any more time than that indicates a certain level of respect for the original source material I don’t wish to convey, and I want my art to have a certain “vandalism” or “graffiti” vibe to it.

  • I have adblockers, encrypted DNS, a hardened browser, and a pi hole, so I don’t see many ads.

    Because I mod fps games, I’m constantly researching firearms, ammunition, and armor, so my algorithm pushes chud shit at me like Garand Thumb and a bunch of those bearded loud mouths with tattoos and a bad attitude who like to yell ignorant and inflammatory opinions. Honestly, I get the vibe those channels exist mostly to convince people to buy shit.

    Since I work on my own car, I also research cars a lot, so I get recommend those channels. Some of them I ended up liking.

    My algorithm must think I’m an old single man with money and a non-working dick because (the very few times I do see ads) I get ads for boner pills, hot MILFs in my area, and gambling sites.




  • People are downvoting you because you sound ignorant. But good firearms knowledge is hard to come by so I’ll do my best to give you a real answer.

    Most truckers would probably love to be armed. Most trucking companies don’t want that at all, for many reasons. The biggest are:

    Complying with the law in every jurisdiction a trucker may go is so difficult as to be nearly impossible. There is a lot of risk in breaking the law due to some obscure technicality in some places. For example, some jurisdictions allow concealed carry, but don’t allow carrying with a round in the chamber (most people who carry, carry with a round in the chamber). Simply being licensed to carry in all 50 states is difficult. Some states will recognize permits issued by (some) other states (known as “reciprocity”), others won’t.

    Add to that, what is and isn’t considered “self-defense” can vary wildly from one jurisdiction to another. Just understanding this in one jurisdiction can be difficult, let alone every state, city, county, municipality, or unincorporated territory a trucker may find themselves.

    The other part of it is, 99 times out of 100, defending a self-defense case will cost a lot more than simply letting the thieves take the entire truck and trailer.



  • As a US citizen, I personally welcome you. But, out of concern for your safety, if it’s at all possible for you to stay well away from here, I would strongly advise you to do so.

    To quote Subnautica, “Are you certain whatever you’re doing is worth it?”

    If you absolutely must, purchase a burner phone and travel with that. Mail your real SIM, phone, and SD card to yourself or someone you trust

    For cameras, purchase brand new storage or take none with you and mail the real SD cards to yourself or someone you trust.

    For laptops, remove your hard drive and mail it to yourself or someone you trust. Travel with a new hard drive, a fresh OS installed, and the bare minimum files.

    You can also encrypt your storage before mailing it. But, unless you know what you’re doing, you run the risk of losing that data. Make sure you know how to decrypt the drive/files and test your procedure before you rely on it.

    Good luck.


  • It’s fine.

    The reason it was an issue with old TVs is because they worked by firing electrons at the screen. Magnets would misalign the internal components resulting in an area of the screen with permanently damaged coloring roughly in the shape of the magnetic field.

    The reason it was an issue with old hard drives is because a magnet would read and write the ones and zeroes off the drive platters kind of like a vinyl record player, and any magnetic interference could potentially corrupt the data on the drive.

    Modern solid state storage devices are (mostly) unaffected by this problem because they read and write data using electricity instead of magnets.
