  This is a sociopath testing fealty. He is deliberately abusing people in an attempt to show his power and diminish theirs. Remember when he tried to blame his sociopathy on autism thereby besmirching the disabled? I do.

  This comment is like a gut punch because its exactly right. Shit floats and sociopaths are drawn to power like flies to shit. Enough time has passed that our institutions have become infested with sociopaths like a cockroach infestation. The vast majority of “normal” people are fucking checked out zombies that only give a shit about catching the sportball game and stuffing their asshole full of cheetos. These “normal” people treat informing themselves or learning like like its a fucking venereal disease. It truly feels like humanity has run its course.

  This is why 3rd world countries have 3-4 generations living under one roof while subsisting on beans and rice. Eventually youre kinda forced into co-housing and living on starches when housing, meat, and veg gets too expensive. Also first world countries export finished goods, third world countries export their natural resources. Remember when they got rid of all the factories and started fracking instead. The oligarchs have slated the united states for a haircut and we’re seeing it at every level.

  Its a pattern. Youll notice regressives while almost wholly subsisting on lies arent sophisticated liars. The vast bulk of the time they just look at the facts of the matter and state the opposite. Same with the projection game. If Im doing something illegal, immoral, reprehensible just accuse someone else of the exact thing im doing. Which is why im especially concerned with their new found love of kneejerk calling their detractors pedophiles. Gonna be a dark day when those skeletons fall out of their overflowing closet.

  Also how do you verify the age of what is essentially a cartoon character? Like if the csam is an obvious toddler thats one thing. I saw an ai pic on here a while back and was like, looks a lil young, borderline, cant really tell. Who gets to decide what is and isnt csam? Certainly our illustrious police in america wouldnt selectively arrest folks based on prejudice. I see potential for a new “we smelled weed in your car” with devastating consequences.

  Thats amazing. You ran into some type 2 fun and figured it out on the fly. I kinda hate plumbing for that reason. Seems like you touch it and 12 other things go wonky. I forget if I mentioned replacing the cartridge potentially. Some have a cartridge, some have seals some have both. But yea, good work, appreciate the update.

  Biden does good thing…means fcc can restore net neutrality. This is an awesome thing and a big fucking deal. Ted cruz makes a sensationalist statement crafted of pure horseshit. Every comment in this thread is about cruzs’ horseshit sculpture. This is why disinformation wins. Doesnt matter that youre criticizing cruz. He changed the narrative and effectively took a win for biden and has people discussing non-reality. Ignore the toddlers, get your country back.

Why wouldnt he get away with it, certainly the 10,000 other crimes he committed are proof that he’d get away with 10,001, yes? Same shit with trump.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I replace my shower controls?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  You can replace internals on your shower valve. Im not sure what brand that valve is but…first shut off your water at the main. Open your hot and cold side on your sink faucet. Go outside and open a spigot. This will drain down your pipes. Underneath the handle will probably be a tint set screw which is probably a small allen screw. Loosen this and remove the handle. Then there may be a decorative ring over the valve body (an escutcheon). Remove this if it has one. There will either be a threaded ring or the whole valve body will rotate. Unthread this assembly. Now the guts of the valve will be in your hand. Typically youre going to find 2 small black seals held in place by 2 small springs. These being worn out is whats causing the leak. They sell replacement seal and spring sets at the plumbing repair section at you local orange big box store. Reverse procedure after installing new springs and seals. Its helpful to know the brand and model of your shower valve to get the right seals. If not, take the old ones in and match them up. Id consider this to be a homeowner friendly repair and if you get confused or shit looks weird put shit back together and call a professional. Discretion is the better part of valor.

  Well said. Id also add that altering our consciusness through use of plants and chemicals also hardwired human nature and has a history as old as human history. The drug war was doomed to abject failure from the get-go just the same as the suppression of human sexuality.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨Can I replace my shower controls?⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I was a kitchen and bathroom remodeler for years. This is a shower valve. You will either have to tear out the wall with tile in picture or cut an access panel into the wall behind the plumbing. You will have to shut off the water main and cut 3-4 pipes. You will have to solder in a new shower valve with a torch in a tight space within the wall. Often you will find crappy old galvanized pipe that is rusted through and will find yourself replacing more pipe than you expected. I once changed a shower valve and wound up crawling through a crawl space a replumbing an entire customers house. You will have to close the wall, depending on which wall you opened up you have drywall work or tile work to do. Often when replacing a shower valve people just install all new tile, tub, or shower pan, etc. I wouldnt consider this a homeowner friendly repair unless its a homeowner with fairly extensive experience and a pretty well rounded tool box. If youre feeling froggy, dont mind buying tools, willing to watch a lot of youtube videos, etc. you could do it. My biggest concern would be sweating in new pipes without creating leaks, melting the internals of a new shower valve, or starting a fire inside your wall with a torch.
