Alcohol is far more aggressive and will ruin many plastics, rubber, painted surfaces, finished wood, and coated paper.

Be really, really careful using alcohol on anything other than bare metal and some plastics. Many plastics and rubber will be made eternally sticky with alcohol (I made this mistake earlier today, which was why I posted this).

They often fuck up plastic, rubber, fake leather, definitely paper, and painted or finished surfaces. WD-40 is usually safe on those surfaces (or as others have said, Zippo lighter fluid and possibly cooking oil).

Alcohol removes adhesive, but is likely to ruin the surface too.

Oh, I didn’t know about cooking oil, that’s awesome.

Alcohol works, but it will destroy many finishes (painted or stained furniture, coated paper, some coated metals, some plastics and rubbers, etc), whereas WD-40 is safe for most finishes.

Sounds like cooking oil may be as well – gonna have to try that, thanks!

True, but lighter fluid can ruin many surfaces. WD-40 is weirdly gentle on most surfaces (though it doesn’t seem like it would be).

Kissinger lived till 99. Hatred seems to impart longevity somehow.

This shit never ends. There’s always a new reason for genocide. I’m so very tired.

These lunatics will kill us all for their rapture fantasies.

Can we start calling their theology mental illness yet? They clearly need help.

Truthfully, I honestly have compassion for everyone she’s oppressing.

Oh shit, who knew the Amish had such a presence here and post so frequently?

Thanks, subscribed.

Not even a chair frame, but likely a wire frame, probably covered in foil and then crystals. That’s a common method for art pieces. This wasn’t a chair covered in crystals, but a ‘delicate internal structure’ in a chair shape.

e: that’s probably also why it was fairly easy to fix: re-bend the wire, then replace any crystals that fell of. This idiot is lucky he didn’t get a stabilising rod up his proverbial.

She’s a conservative drama queen. She couldn’t be upstaged like that.
