Being well armed is a good thing, because if they’re armed (they are to the teeth) and you’re not it’s not going to end well.
Plus it’s not enough just owning a gun, you have to practice with it as well. A good tool in unskilled hands is a dangerous tool to everyone including yourself.
Just a little bit of domestic terrorism, nothing to worry about /s
Always have a plan in case shit goes south folks, these people are dangerous. Don’t be lulled into a false sense of security, if you’re not in their in group you will become a target for them if they get their way.
A lot of very vocal people on the online left (particularly those around here on Lemmy and twitter) love to scream that they are the true leftist and all others are centrist or worse liberals. (I’m sure you’ve seen people “on the left” calling people they don’t like liberals around here, I see it all the time. They use it in the same breath of calling people fascist.)
It’s stupid as hell and is so prevalent that it seems like an organized effort to make leftist spaces online unfriendly to leftist so that they can’t actually unite on anything.
I will still talk the ears off an iron monkey given the chance
I will still get hyper focused on occasion but less often. I also get moments of less hyper focus but still like ‘in the zone’. Basically hyper focus but I remember to breathe and drink water consistently.
I still have my rotating rogues gallery of hobbies though it cycles a lot slower now which is really nice.
YouTube Shorts is still like crack for my brain still so I have to block it on my browsers and use an alternative app for YouTube (grayjay) on my phone if I don’t want to blow an entire day. I also won’t touch tiktok with a 10 ft pole as I know it will be just as bad if not worse than YouTube Shorts for me.
