People tweeting stuff. We allow tweets from anyone.

RULES:

  1. Mark NSFW content.
  2. No doxxing people.
  3. Must be a pic of the tweet or similar. No direct links to the tweet.
  4. No bullying or international politcs
  5. Be excellent to each other.
  6. Provide an archived link to the tweet (or similar) being shown if it's a major celebrity, figure or any politician. If you replace the "x" at their site with xcancel (so it beomes xcancel.com), and you're not on mobile, it will save video. https://web.archive.org/save is another great option. Archive.is is no longer recommended because they remove/alter content.

Pest control, genius. Rabbits, hares, magpies, possums, goats and more. One cousin is a commercial goat culler.

They're not used for self defence.

All those were managed well before the invention of the gun.

Your cousin might need one, but that guy from no county for old men weilded a culler that needed no gun.

But it's mainly the self defense angle witch angers me. If you need a tool for killing stuff, a gun is your thing.

Butt most people don't need to kill stuff.
