    A fun past time, minus the Nazi shit. Many weekends I recall spending in middle of nowhere West Virginia getting hammered on weird chemicals that had just been invented 4 days prior with fully automatic weapons and my homegirl road dawg. Even more that I don’t recall.

        Well, my country is a shithole and I was born and raised in the heaviest gun culture on the planet. I don’t remember ever actually not knowing basic firearms safety, handling and operation. Lotsa fun (imo) but I do get weird looks and reactions from people who aren’t from the US and even many people who are from here.

          Yes, I am looking at you weirdly.

            Me too, but I’ll be honest if I grew up thinking guns were normal and you could just have one whenever you wanted, I think I’d be up to that shit too

          Deep south born and raised, it’s changed in the last twenty years, but guns used to be a fun tool. Most people owned long guns with much fewer handguns. Guns were for hunting, varmint management, and plinking. City folk don’t really get it. Shotgun in the corner of the living room is normal.

          I have an acquaintance from West Virginia that is similar. They’re also a non-binary, super queer, sexually sadistic top. We met in the BDSM community.

      seems unwise to do anything dangerous when some random ass chem undergrad from shaanxi takes you on an adventure that you’ll never remember

        I was severely exaggerating, lol. Yes, there have been lots of weekends like that, but I do actually recall all of them. I know that’s not really the point, but it’s all I got. I did dumb shit with my homie, hundreds of times. We survived, and never even were injured, but I do understand that injury or death was a real possibility when combining the things that we did.
