    You’re in for a fun ride, wikipedia even has an article on just this: Health and Appearance of Michael Jackson.

    In short: some kind of body dysmorphia, vitiligo, way too much money, and probably a personality disorder. He had so much plastic surgery done to his nose that the plastic actually broke through the surface of his nose. There is a lot of back and forth as to whether or not he was a child sexual predator or just trying to recapture a stolen childhood as an abused child star.




  • Yes, but we need to be very careful here. Histronics are all fine and well. However, knowing all the facts as reported by the AP or Reuters is important.

    The rank and file of the far right is going to be fed info about how he was arrested for domestic violence and had already been deported before.

    ICE wasn’t in the courtroom and didn’t cause a scene. The judge was tipped off by a clerk that they were in the building.

    We’re all very aware of the propaganda the right is fed. We need to know the facts so it doesn’t happen to us.



  • Birdshot is perfectly acceptable in a home defense situation given the short ranges. It does have a lower lethality but unobstructed head and chest shots will most likely be fatal and will incapacitate.

    An advantage to bird shot is that two layers of drywall may slow it down enough to prevent lethal injuries to bystanders such as family members in other rooms.

    A disadvantage is that it will likely be stopped by body armor where buckshot packs enough punch that it can cause severe injury even if it doesn’t penetrate.

    I don’t have ready sources for this, just general informed opinion.




  • Anybody know where to find an archive of this disk?

    It’s all publicly available info, or was. I’ve got a Raid 5 I can throw it on, might come in handy during power outs and such.

    I’ve got spare hard drives, and an old Pi and other computers around. No need to spend $189 on this when you can pretty easily DIY. The value is the prepackaged archive.

    I see projects like kwix and such, but I don’t immediately see this archive or anything comparable. Haven’t looked into this before.

    BTW, if you’re actually worried about the end of the world or whatever, this won’t save you. Make friends with your neighbors and communities. If you don’t have a physical trade, you need to learn one like fixing shit or growing really good weed.

  • Woah! Thanks for this, interesting hearing a firsthand account. Very similar to trailer park life in the US, in my experience. Public housing/the projects are also similar but I never spent much time in them, strong racial divide in most of the US between trailer parks and projects.

    I’m assuming a fair amount of drugs/addiction, small scale petty crime, and domestic violence? Cookouts and parties? Is there pride in being from a commie block? Is there a culture and music? Also, while I’m blasting you with questions, any chance you know a good documentary or book/article?
