Seriously though you want the building with explosives to be isolated so it doesn't blow everything else up. Just be glad they didn't think like a RPG player and put the bomb factory right in the middle of the residential district.

Oh yeah, this one. "drat it Steve"  I always feel bad for Tom. It's hard to laugh at Tom. Prepper drama is the worst (Except for Hannity). Good things those dudes are prepared to defend their desert wasteland.

Radish posted:If Clinton wins I think we are going to see the real true believers. There will be conservative media guys that will be angry at losing the SCOTUS and all but probably somewhat relieved that Trump didn't win meaning they will have to deal with him rotting the party from within continuing while Hannity types will re-enact Event Horizon on air. So when you say re-enacting Event Horizon are we talking something reminiscent of the scene with the horrifying murder-orgy or just Hannity stripping naked, revealing he's some sort of scarred demon, and climbing the walls while blood goes everywhere like that other hosed up scene? Because i'm not sure which would be worse.

Is there a scene in Event Horizon where someone throws his mouth way open and just screams, on and on and on, right through the commercial break and out the other side? e: The break ends and you see Hannity sobbing into clenched fists while O'Reilly is yelling at him and calling him a coward pinhead

The funniest thing about  THE CITADEL is that it just absolutely ignores the fact that things like air planes and explosives exist. What the hell is their plan when somebody sneaks up to a wall at night with enough C4 to blast a huge hole in it? That or just flies a plane over it and drops a bomb in Neighborhood Town?I assume those walls are stone; a scavenged LAW rocket or three would make a decent mess of it. Aside from all of that what happens when it inevitably gets sieged? They don't plan for any farming within the walls, just a market where people can come to sell poo poo. What happens if nobody can get in to sell their food? It just says "neighborhood." Where do you store the amount of food needed to survive a siege? Where do you put all the poo poo people would be making GBS threads out? That is just so unimaginably badly planned. Like...there are reasons you don't build stone fortresses anymore. That being said living in a castle would be pretty badass.

The Werner Herzog documentary "Happy People" about Siberian fur trappers is a pretty good look at off-the-grid living. It's brutally hard work, but these communities pull it off, and they must because the only way to reach them is by boat or helicopter. Practically everything they have, aside from rifles + ammunition, motors and gasoline, is scratch built. But they've been doing it for decades and focus on practical hunting, trapping and woodworking skills. Survivalism isn't a form of playing on the weekend but just how these people live. And obviously, it looks a lot different than these "survivalists" who go to conventions. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pvrNqyX7XPQ

Your bog standard survivalist prepper absolutely never, ever bothers to think about "but what do you do when your supplies run out?" Even dry food that keeps for a decade can give you, at most, that decade. It's probably also not nutritionally complete and is going to be awful to eat for literal years.

Another thing about "Happy People" is that these skills cannot be learned in a day. And no matter what junk you have, it's useless unless you know what to do with it. The main person in the documentary was dumped decades ago into Siberia by the Soviet government as part of a plan to colonize remote areas, and he almost died. And the communities that have succeeded have been because they keep to their traditions and pass them down across generations. Your best chance of making it in an environment like that is to have been born in it.

the best episode of Doomsday Preppers is the one where the white nationalist invents a "Tactical Shovel" that he and his buddies drunkenly use to mutilate a pig carcass, and then he shoots off his finger on accident, immediately passes out, and gives a pathetic series of excuses about how it's the gun's fault he shot his finger off. Most episodes of the show deal with people who have suffered severe emotional trauma and have used Prepping as a form of therapy/coping/defense mechanism around said trauma, like the guy who's wife is dying of cancer, or the dude who was a 9/11 first responder. Those episodes are depressing as gently caress, the episodes with assholes playing operator in bumfuck montana are hilarious though.

I kinda want to make a prepper game where you have all the tools and options to design your very own post apocalyptic stronghold or city, and when you are satisfied you hit a "Calculate" button that tells you if your little fantasy is viable. Of course it will say "Failure" no matter what, but the people playing won't know that, they'll just start over and do it better this time.

Aesop Poprock posted:So what's actually going on with this "Crisis Pregnancy Centers" are awful predatory institutions that have been popping up for a while now. They purport to offer reproductive health services including abortion, but actually just spout anti-choice propaganda and straight up misinformation. California passed AB 775 last year, which requires Crisis Pregnancy Centers to provide accurate medical information and accurate information on where to access proper reproductive health services. For anti-choicers, being required to tell the truth is a huge invasion of freeze peach or something.

If you haven't played it, there's a game called This War Of Mine that is basically about living in bombed out Sarajevo, scavenging for food, creating basic equipment to get hot water, uncontaminated water, fending off raiders, etc. Anyway the thing I remember is that a dude who lived in Sarajevo said it was pretty on point except there were no raiders. People didn't try to take poo poo from others, everyone just shared. Major trauma like that brings people together more than it drives them apart.

Instant Sunrise posted:"Crisis Pregnancy Centers" are awful predatory institutions that have been popping up for a while now. They purport to offer reproductive health services including abortion, but actually just spout anti-choice propaganda and straight up misinformation. For some extra irony, note that some states apparently have pro-life laws requiring abortion doctors to provide their prospective patients with basically false or highly exaggerated "information" regarding the risks involved. So you end up with completely insane situations where they end up telling their patients things like: "By law I am required to tell you that an abortion increases your risk of breast cancer. But as an actual medical professional I can tell you that that statement is false and there's no actual evidence for this."

The best one I saw was this guy who had bought an RV and land in bumfuck no where and was waiting for his mail-order bride to arrive at the beginning of the episode. She arrives, they get married, and he tells her they're going to live in the RV.

The community loves the public libraries on an individual basis, but continually votes to defund them because bootstraps or something.

Levin has been on fire this week. He's in full incoherent meltdown mode. He spent 5 minutes bemoaning how the Founding Fathers couldn't be elected today because they owned slaves, and so there by comparison Trump isn't so bad. Then at the top of his Thursday show he's complaining that the women coming forward to accuse Trump should have come forward when it was most advantageous for the GOP by coming forward during the primary.
