Damn, what a crazy moment in your life. Genuinely thank you for sharing. I know there’s nothing I can say that will help but I hope you find a way to not guilt yourself over it too much. We all have moments, especially when we’re emotionally exhausted like you must have been, where we’re not at our best. That’s just being human. That was thirty seconds out of two months and however much time prior where I’m sure you more than made up for it.

Holy shit. I’m stroking right now.

Had three of them. Have since had Prusa and Creality and I kinda miss the good old days printing by the seat of your pants and keeping the fire extinguisher nearby

Apologies… My comment didn’t come across as intended. It was supposed to be an exhasperated agreement with your statement, not a 3rd grade “no duh” moment. My exasperation echoes your own exhaustion and depleted emotional energy.

I think I was trying to channel Socko:

Noooooo shit.

The number of people going about their lives as if we’re not being flung head-first into a fascist dystopian hellscape breaks my brain on the daily.

Being honest? Fuck no. Well, except for Facebook Marketplace. I try Craigslist first but all the good shit (and stupid people… holy fucking stupid people) are on Marketplace. Which means I technically have a FB account. I did venture down the feed a while back and the amount of AI slop had me noping out faster than a crab at a seagull convention. How anyone tolerates that shit is beyond me.

That sounds like a… fun house.

ITT: “Probably just a harmless troll”

In any other time in my life I would have agreed. However, the amount of delusion that has infected a great number of our populace means you need to take this seriously. A few more weeks of paranoia and propaganda and this person might just decide it is their holy duty to act.

Others have said arming yourself and increasing home security. That gets you to 50/50 odds in an actual confrontation, imo. Better than nothing.

Also agree with others that the police will be useless until it is time to draw a chalk outline around someone. If you can afford it, it might be time to get a lawyer involved. Rule of law isn’t completely dead at the working level and properly applied pressure from the judiciary might prompt action by authorities. At least it might force some sort of discovery that could enable additional actions.

Good luck.
