    I think that every single day: this is going to get way worse, long before it gets better.

    I’ve never been a Prepper, but I’m getting some stuff in order. There may be a Civil War ahead, and there may be some fighting, so right now I’m concentrating on losing weight, and getting in shape. I’m also starting to get some self-defense gear together.

    I’ve decided that dying an old man in my bed would be a waste, and my life may have a twist ending I hadn’t anticipated. If it all goes sideways, I intend to get my licks in before going out.

      I’m getting in shape too. Recently got a manual labor job to speed up the process. If Civil War happens, I’ll at least be strong and fast enough to kill some fascist scum.

        Congratulations on no longer being a part time dog walker. You’ll be surprised how quickly having a real job makes you sick of lefties though.

          I had the opposite experience. more exposure to ignorant conservatives showed me how selfish and stupid so many are

            I’m not sure I agree with that. But I work outside. It has its ups and downs but I really just wish people who keep society running got paid as much or more as assistant marketing vice managers or whatever fake human resources job gets handed out based on nepotism.
