If you're looking for reliable, primitive gears: look at an old watermill's wooden "crown wheel" and pinion.

That being said, you'd get the same effect with pulleys and belt. Hand carving wooden pulleys or turning them on a simple pole lathe with a sharp or abrasive rock would much easier than making gears.

Not a bad idea, but you'd be relying on the IDF and Hamas not to fuck it up. The odds of a fuck-up increases exponentially with every idiot you add to a situation.

I have had more "straight" guys send me dick picks and ask if we can hook up (at my place, obviously) than I can count.

They live a privileged life where nobody legitimately wants to seriously hurt or kill them, and they can trust law enforcement to protect them.

Armed minorities are harder to oppress.

It's a great movie that's often misunderstood.

The writer wanted the audience to laugh with Hitler, to cheer him on, to emphasis with him, to see him as this likable, but ultimately harmless person. "Oh, his suggested causes of and solutions to problems are obviously ridiculous -- but what do you expect? He's a comedian ... but he kind of has a point about real issues we're facing."

People have forgotten that's how Hitler was seen during his rise to power, and just like in the movie it's only after it's far too late that people realized what kind of person they're enabling. The ending monologue even has Hitler straight out saying he's happy to "play the clown" as a means to his ends.

Hexbear has the same problem as Reddit: it's home to a handful of active, loud, incredibly toxic communities that like to go into other people's online spaces and be assholes.

I can sort of understand their reasoning -- I'm with you in that I don't agree with it and think it's self defeating, but I can see how they could arrive at that conclusion.

What really killed me is how many of my friends and colleagues that hard-core loved Bernie Sanders didn't vote because they either "forgot" to, didn't register to vote after being slammed with reminders to, didn't bother to look up when/where to vote, or just couldn't be fucked to make the effort. Even after countless hours talking about how great he is, posting on social media, and even donating to his campaign.

Or the "sealion" represents the kinds of people that engages in that behavior and has nothing to do with race.

To add what other people have said: the sealion in the comic is following them around and being obnoxious. It even follows them to their bedroom.

One aspect of sealioning is continually trying to "debate" someone for something they once said, even if they're currently engaged in a completely unrelated conversation.

Calling out hypocrisy isn't hypocrisy.
