Hmmmm, good point, but isn't the point of it to prepare (prep) for a collapse?

exactly like most politicians

Saidit is a little too political. I'd prefer Lemmy not to be so political. Which is to my point, because some people on Lemmy seem to make their whole lives about politics and will stalk people who have different political beliefs. It's really weird. I'm on Lemmy under other names, and I don't post any politics stuff under those names. Lemmy is much more enjoyable without all the "Burn him because he likes Trump!!!" nonsense.

But there are some "neuro-divergent" people that try to throw in "Cheeto-Man" in every comment they see. Sigh...

I know for me at least, it seems to be one person who made a bot to downvote brigade me, somewhat bragged about it, then got instance banned for it. So now he just creates alts every day.

It's all a total waste of his time too. It's way easier and quicker for me to simply ban him, than it is for him to set up all these new accounts.

Some people are really strange when it comes to obsessive behaviour.

Yep. Happens to me. Some don't like my politics, so even my non-political posts get downvoted. I have some who actually follow me around just to downpost everything I do. One guy made a script for downvoting bots to attack me, but he got caught doing that by other mods/admin and he got banned for it.

Once it became easy to see who the downvoters are, I was able to get it sorted pretty quick. Some even started an alt the day I banned them for downvoting, and started the downvote stalking right up. Banned them too.

I don't mind someone downvoting something, but to just click on a user profile and downvote every single thing without even reading it is annoying and is ban-worthy in my opinion.

maybe

I've been stocked up on stuff like this for a while. It's was super helpful when Covid hit and I was prepared--never had to leave my house during that time. And we also had a blizzard that knocked everything out for a few days. So to me, it's common sense to have a lot of this stuff anyway.

I've been upping my solar power situation. And for most of this summer I have been using a solar oven, which has been awesome!

True, but my 9mm would be the main personal protection gun

that what I was thinking, revolver can pretty much be used forever, and .22 ammo is way cheap and easy to stock up on. Last time I went to gunshop here in my city, the guys obviously were trying to talk me into 9mm, and bigger guns. They def weren't taking me seriously for wanting a .22 pistol. But I already have a 9mm, now I want a .22 pistol. lol So I'll probably order one online, have it delivered to shop then pic up.

People seem to downplay them, but even back in the day, a lot of mob kills were done with .22 pistols. It can still get the job done when needed. I don't plan on killing anyone obviously, but the inexpensive ammo and reliablity of a good revolver appeals to me

hahaha yeah, that's more accurate. Good one, mate! have my upvote!

Republican existence draws ire of Lemmy users.

Ok, thanks, I will. Not really sure how that helps the conversation regarding pistol choices though.
