  • In America, influence means money. If you can’t donate to a politician, you don’t have influence. That’s just how America works. You can’t build influence without wealth. As someome who has been involved with them, protests and marches don’t really cause a stir here any more, people just don’t care and it doesn’t really influence anything. You can get influence through violence, but people aren’t ready for that conversation and the right already has a head start on that anyway.





  • I have a fiskars branded one and it’s a great axe. The balance is much better than a wood handled one, since the center of gravity is closer to the head it feels like the head maintains more momentum as you swing and more of your swing energy is transferred into the wood. It’s hard to describe but I much prefer this style, it just feels more efficient. Plus mine has held an edge really, really well and hasn’t rusted much at all (and I’m rough on it) but that depends on the steel they use more than the handle design.













  • I actually prefer a mostly text web. If the trade off for ditching JavaScript is not getting hovering pop ups, I’m fine with that. I think that while JavaScript can help with usability, it’s main use right now is being a pain in the ass. Images and video are useful, don’t get me wrong, and that will always be the most popular “use” of the internet, but most of the time I just want to go on the Internet and read cool shit without fifty different corporations trying to fuck me over with the promise of “enhanced usability”. Like a link has to have some floating bullshit for me to click it. Absolute madness.
