Other 196's:
This makes me realize that I want desk toy which is metallic, heavy and has a satisfying mechanical action, but which does not resemble a firearm in appearance or function. Basically all the tactile experience of playing with a revolver, but none of the legal or emotional baggage.
Sounds like a metal stapler to me.
Replacing a thing of staples in a good ol' fashion stapler always makes me feel like swapping magazines in a gun.
A balisong maybe? You can get a decent trainer (one without a blade) for like 30 bucks
I have a metal airsoft pistol that I keep at my desk for this reason 😅
Get a good, heavy flipper knife. Still dangerous but not nearly as dangerous as a firearm, and really good practice to be able to quickly open if it's your EDC. I use a CRKT M16-13z LEK (the heavy law enforcement version)
No, that's a photo
Oh man gun culture is wild.
I do the exact same thing but with a knife when I'm angry at specific politicians. Fidget around with it (it's a big heavy law enforcement model), violently flip it open a few times, practice some grip switches, then just sorta squeeze it really hard, close my eyes and stare at the Orange Hitler's stupid grin.
Am I crazy or is this normal behavior (for someone who's been horribly abused my entire life by Christian extremist doctrine and now his policies writing that same doctrine into law)?
Therapy might be a bit more expensive but it’ll be orders of magnitude more effective.
Fair. But isn't the first coping method in the effectiveness chain removing the stressor from the environment or something like that /j
Can't handle the FREEDOM, huh?
Wait so modern spongebob makes Patrick into a Ned Flanders annoying neighbor character? That's the stupidest fucking thing. Seriously how you gonna break up that friendship
While "Flanderization" is named after Ned Flanders, it doesn't refer to making a character more like Flanders specifically. It refers more generally to oversimplifying a character to a lazy stereotype, losing any depth or complexity. In the case of Patrick Star, it's referring to him changing from being just a bit simple-minded to being an absolute moron.
Season 4 SpongeBob hollowed out the characters. Anything after the movie turns the characters into caricatures. Squidward is just there as a punching bag, SpongeBob is obnoxious, Patrick is just dumb, Sandy is just a scientist.
I remember watching that Karate Island episode when it came out as a kid and realizing that SpongeBob was over.
This is the correct take glad we thought the same
My kid was into SpongeBob, and wanted to watch them all on Paramount Plus. I was trying to get him to stick to the older ones. The new ones are indeed crap.
I can't believe they did that to Subaru
I need a therapy revolver, but a non-functioning one (a prop), due to gun laws in my country.
oh say can you see..
So ... the gun gives him a sense of power when he gets depressed and is feeling powerless with the direction things are going in his life?
So what if instead of this being about a cartoon this was someone getting really angry at their wife so they have to go to their office and have to "grip a gun really tight for a few minutes until they calm down"? Or maybe getting angry at their boss... or their neighbor... or the government? That's pretty disturbing.
Buddy, it's a meme :)
