what advantage do revolvers have over pistols? hopefully i never have to actually shoot anyone but when every psychopath has a gun, the non-psychopaths should too

Realistically not that many, like I said they don't expel casings so they won't jam, if for god only knows what reason a cartridge doesn't fire off you can just pull the trigger again and it'll fire the next round (where as with something like a glock you'd have to pull the slide to eject the cartridge that didn't fire) and there's no shell casings lying around (which is why hitmen like revolvers). Plus they tend to be cheaper.

But let's face it, cops wouldn't carry around glocks if they weren't dependable.
Regardless you're absolutely right to be buying a gun.

You look really cool staring at someone on the movie poster about you having a revolver and shooting it at people.

You've probably thought of this already, but it may be worth looking into insoles, like those cheapo Dr. Scholl's at Wally-World or other brands (I knew some podiatrist-affiliated vendors that cost a bit more than Dr. Scholl's but everyone swears by them). Granted, my experience has been with old workboots working in a warehouse full-time w/o insoles (that was hell even as a 24 year old -- thank god I splurged on some nice insoles). I've known people of all ages and job types (quite often white-collar desk jobs) who had serious 180 degree changes in their QoLs with insoles even with shitty shoes. There's also memory-foam soles vs gel vs traditional insoles, so it can get fairly complicated.

If it makes you feel better, I think it's a weak point (an Achilles Heel, har har) for a bunch of people -- how a slightly different feature of your body makes your feet/lower legs hurt more than others, no matter what your age is. Kind of like how some people can treat their bodies like shit and never get diabetes and vice versa (still a bit grumpy about that myself *grumble grumble*).

Ah, yeah. I've used insoles before, mostly the gel kind. But I'm thinking I should get some good memory foam ones instead. They seem softer and more comfy. Gel is still kind of "hard" depending on what you get.

I also sympathize with watching some people with less than steller habits luck out of the consequences. I had to get unrelated corrective surgery for something i had no fault in, but watch people take awful care of all the time. Thats enough PL though. But, I think it does catch up to them, just later.

I'm not perfect, but one of my top priorities is to take care of myself. If I'm not feeling my best I'm going to try to do what I can. I had a knee issue during my previous job. Being more careful with it and wearing a knee brace seemed to help then so here's hoping I can help this situation too.

Lol of course Snailslime can't think of anything else to get but a glock:



This wasn't directed at me but have you ever heard of the winchester 1894 model in 32 special? The ammo isn't that easy to find (although you can reload with 8mm mauser I'm told) but it's a real classy rifle. I like it a lot. The best guns are inherited.

My last purchase was a Mosin Revolver. Fuck finding ammo for it sucks.

Bonus; it combines the other coping skills
  1. Laughter
  2. Watching movies (Kiwi Farm's Disord Movie nights)
2 years ago I told a therapist (who has an autistic son) about Chris.
"He's very fascinating and is an example of the negative impact on social media"

Revolvers make you look cool. That's why I inherited like 8 of them, my family has good tastes.

What kind of rollercoasters you rode??

Something called the python, that genie carpet that spins you around, the alpine thing that goes back and forth and blasts train whistles, that g force thing that lifts the seats, bumper cars, I also saw a seal which was pretty neat, and two of those things that lift you in the air and spin you around.

"G-force" - not a fan of high speed coasters myself.
I always wanted to ride bumper cars and those last two rides are my fucking jam.
Those might be the factor for the rib sprain by their seatbelts.

My last remaining grandparent passed away this week. She was north of 90, had dementia, and was in a lot of pain, so she was ready to go.

RIP.

I know that feel bro; my great grandmother died when I was 6 and at 11, my mom was a caretaker to an elderly lady with Alzheimer's, could still remember her childhood and could sing beautifully and she was spoiled via Mom buying her a doughnut as a treat. She was wheelchair-ridden and broke her hip. Years later, her daughter died.

Say what you like about McDonald's, but they have an intensely autistic routine for cleaning the machines that renders them out of commission, which is why they're so often "broken" when you try to order a milkshake. So they're probably safer. I may be prejudiced because a long time ago, I worked briefly in a Wendy's that was a health code nightmare. I actually left because it was just too disgusting. I went across the street and washed dishes at a sports bar instead, which was like a hospital operating room in comparison.
