I really don't get why there are so many mean people here. I don't mean everyone has to go around being extra polite all the time - hell, even I don't do that. It's the intentional stuff, trying to hurt someone's feelings, that baffles me. There's way too much of it, and it just boggles my mind.
I don't care how big an asshole the other person was being - responding that way just makes two assholes. Block them and move on. Don't add to the toxicity that ruins social media in the first place, or you're part of the problem.
I never quite wrapped my mind around knife/flashlight collecting. I have one of each that I EDC and I did quite a bit research to find the ones I like the best (Benchmade Bugout and Wurkkos TS22 - both in green). Carrying anything else would mean leaving home the one I like the most which doesn't make any sense.
I don't judge. It's just one of those things I have no theory of mind for.
I was refering to traditional Finnish vintage axes specifically - not hand made ones broadly. Billnäs, Kellokoski and Fiskars for example. Those are no longer being made.
Common handtools. I have at least 2 - 3 of each. One set in my work truck and another in the toolshed. What can I say - I'm a sucker for tools.
Traditional hatchets. If I see an old hand-made axe head for sale with or without a handle for a decent price I'll buy it because they're not making more of them. I'll gladly sell/hand over one to who ever needs, appreciates and promises to look after one.
Bikes. I don't sell the old when I buy new one. It's worth more to me as a bike than as the money I'd get from it.
Hand carts. I don't know how I ended up with two but here we are.
If I need it and it's worth the price then I don't worry about spending money on it. Especially when talking about one time or long term purchases such as a laptop (which as an extremely satisfied MacBook user I highly recommend)
Subscribtion services and meals are the ones I take issue with. I dont want to pay high price for something and then have nothing to show for it. I will not pay 5 euros for a cup of coffee no matter what - it's not worth that to me. With items you technically didn't lose any value - you just traded cash for an object.
OP is literally asking whether it means anything other than racism/white supremacy. My "hot take" is a direct answer to what is being asked. At no point have they directed the question to only Americans.
I don't live in the US. When I see that flag it's usually either on the wall of someone's garage or attached to their old American muscle car. To me it means rednecks, American south and rockabillies. Or a middle finger to the woke left. Never seen it as racist myself.
Reflexively being for or against (usually against) something based on certain keywords in the title independent of the content of the article itself. It could even be good news - doesn't matter. If it's about the wrong thing it's bad news.
Doesn't always mean speaking the whole truth but not saying anything that's untrue. This has led to a handful of situations where I would've prefered to tell a white lie but I didn't.
