As with shot placement, well, it counts. I’d love to see this turn out to be a solid addition to the stories.

This place is no different from reddit. Users too dumb to read obvious sarcasm. Pathetic we have to use /s on such blatant posts.

“Well hell, I should try something different in that gun that doesn’t work quite right. Wonder if this works better?”

There. Impulse buy.

There are “levels” of foreigners they’re going to go after. Fuck me, if they go scatter gat, please let them fail.

Way to miss the entire fucking point. Keep losing!

You armed? Because you fuck well should be, as well as practiced and educated.

Oh shit. Just realized you missed the entire fucking point. You are losing Miss. Trans. It would be in your best fucking interest to figure out why you are losing and to do that you have to figure out what the enemy is thinking.

Or, you could keep whining about how these people have no empathy for you. Yeah. We already knew that.

It’s actually a sane strategy. He who calls the cops second, loses. Paul Harrell had a video on the subject, including plenty of personal anecdotes and police input. Might be this one:

But yeah, no matter what is happening, YOU call 911 FIRST. In example after example he shows how the first caller is presumed to be the aggravated party.

Doesn’t matter if this offends anyone. Doesn’t matter if it’s just. It is. Criminals know this, and we all should as well.

EDIT: Everyone should watch the first minute or three to see what an unbiased, educational presentation looks like, no matter the subject. He starts by outlining how complicated the subject is and states, “My opinions are based on my education, my training, my experience. Different people have different experiences so they have different opinions (emphasis mine). I make NO claim that my opinion has it’s origin in the mind of greatness.” LOL, it’s a rather famous disclaimer among us fans.

Classic teaching outline. He tells you what he’s going to tell you, tells you, and then summarizes. And no matter the “obvious” conclusion, he invites the viewer to draw their own conclusions. I’ve seen the man defend the craziest ideas, and yet show both sides of the argument. As dad always said, “If you can’t argue both sides, you don’t understand the subject.”

If you are in a position to teach, please learn the art from Paul. RIP my man.

Man, I tried. But after being cut open like that IRL, I just couldn’t. It’s like having a broken limb.

Forget the pain altogether, shit just doesn’t function when your tendons and bones are cut and snapped.

I’ve had gut surgery, split wide open, couldn’t suspend disbelief on later views.

But in the theater! LOL, my wife was pregnant with #2 and was seriously unhappy. “Why did you make me watch that?!” Uh, I didn’t know?

Even better, she was pregnant with #1 when we saw The Mist and all the baby spiders exploded.

She always said she was gestating an alien. 🤷

Thought HEAT rounds were tank fired and traveled horizontally (ballistically)?

Sun Tzu, The Art of War:

“If you know the enemy and know yourself, you need not fear the result of a hundred battles. If you know yourself but not the enemy, for every victory gained you will also suffer a defeat. If you know neither the enemy nor yourself, you will succumb in every battle.” (That last describes the Democratic party to a tee.)

So yes, it behooves us to understand them if we want to win. If you want to rage and stick your fingers in your ears, good luck with the toddler approach.

And since 100 toddlers will take that statement to mean “appeasement” or “how to get on their level”, fuck you, you’re a child. Leave these discussions to grownups. In the mean time, go read a grownup book. (Hint: The Art of War is 100% applicable here.)

Here’s one with far too much nuance for liberals:

“When you surround an army, leave an outlet free. Do not press a desperate foe too hard.”

Not even going to explain that one in modern political terms. In any case, we lost, and goddammit we’re not going to learn anything from it!

My wife’s not even a citizen and she’s still struggling with an understaffed bureaucracy to get her 10-year green card. Given her history here, that process is supposed to be a rubber stamp*. Makes me want to punch people who say, “We just want them to follow the law!” Haven’t heard that in a bit, guess they dropped the pretense.

Not too worried ATM. These people don’t seem to realize the logistical problems they’re going to face sticking only to illegals. And getting information from the agencies the GOP purposefully underfunded? Good luck. (Plus, I’m betting bureaucrats at all levels will fight back in 11,532 smarmy little ways. Those are the exact sort of people who don’t take kindly to having their power usurped.)

Another reason I’m not shitting myself yet, I doubt they’re going after Filipinos any time soon. That would seriously piss off a solid ally who borders the South China Sea. We may well want the full use of both Manila Bay and Subic Bay again (Subic Bay is just West of Manila.). From where else would we project power and/or defend Taiwan?

OTOH, Filipinos are basically Asian Mexicans**, having been occupied by Spain so long that they share language, food, religion, culture, genetics and more. LOL, my wife was appalled when I told her the average American surely thinks she’s Mexican, even with the slanty eyes from her Japanese father.

* Married to an American 2+ years, married to another American now, always gainfully employed, paperwork squared away, all that. They just keep sending it back wanting more and more and more, stuff they didn’t ask for in the first place.

** Funny as hell if you know any Filipinos. But if you do, you probably already know Jo Koy.

You can yeet goldfish. Carp are stupid tough. It’s the tropical fish we often keep that are kinda wimpy. Also, they’re not coming from a super healthy environment (the store) to our tanks.

I got a Hi-Point .45 carbine and can’t make it fail in any way. Weird gun though. Nothing about it is standard, heavy as a brick, forget taking it apart, kicks harder than my .45 pistols, and I’m pretty sure the bolt was cut from 10-pounds of pig iron. Flawless shooting even using remanned, cheapo ammo. All of that is inline with what other owners have to say.

No lie.

Who cares? You can buy ammo in plenty of places and most of us buy it online for the deep discount.

The AI is for age verification or this idea would never fly.

Same reason as any other vending machine, impulse buys.

Well, yeah? Tax stamps have pretty much always been required, and yes, on illegal weed.

What makes you think working people weren’t healthy 100-years ago? As to why you think she looks healthy, she’s not fat as fuck.

Here’s NYC, 11-years previous. What do we see? I see a thriving society.

What we won’t see is a single fat fuck. And no one can argue this is some sort of suffering, starving society. FFS, they’re actively building skyscrapers, pushing tech to the limit.

More likely, From Dusk Til Dawn we’re hearing:

“All right, pussy, pussy, pussy! Come on in pussy lovers! Here at the Titty Twister we’re slashing pussy in half! Give us an offer on our vast selection of pussy, this is a pussy blow out! All right, we got white pussy, black pussy, Spanish pussy, yellow pussy, we got hot pussy, cold pussy, we got wet pussy, we got smelly pussy, we got hairy pussy, bloody pussy, we got snappin’ pussy, we got silk pussy, velvet pussy, Naugahyde pussy, we even got horse pussy, dog pussy, chicken pussy! Come on, you want pussy, come on in, pussy lovers! If we don’t got it, you don’t want it! Come on in, pussy lovers!”

Or, the “we got dick” version.

Love it when the frogs go off at night.

“Fuck ME! Pick ME! Pick me! Fuck me fuck me fuck me.”
