  1.  @ffwast  Unfortunately this is a "I heard on the internet" story but it looked legitimate at the time, but in the late 2000s I heard of a case in Sweden where a woman who carried pepper spray illegally (required a license I think) actually got a sentence 1-2 months more than a gang member caught with a submachine gun. He argued that as a drug dealer his job put his life in danger. I don't even know how I'd look up that headline in Swedish so take it with a grain of salt.

  3.  @treeblinn  "They started growing shit to feed their own people instead of exporting a commodity" - I know this is hard to conceptualize but if you export a commodity, you can import food.

  4.  @rkuzdas  Of course. A woman who chose to be a scammer rather than work a honest job would know a thing or two about avoiding rent.

  5.  @krispinwah2784  Even the first VHS release said "gallant people of Afghanistan". The image circulating with the Mujahideen dedication is a print screen taken right after the dedication disappears and before the credits roll, the horse riders are moving further away from the camera. Without text in the way, someone added the fake caption.

  6.  @GameGod77  Easy. It laid the conditions for games to be penalized by the games media, and official review scores are often used by publishers as the metric for certain bonuses. For example Obsidian was only given 18 months to make FO New Vegas and they'd get extra money if the metacritic average was 85. They got an 84. If games media has a political bias it creates a perverse incentive for devs to try and do things for the benefit of reviewers even though it does not benefit the customers. If even a single point is the difference between getting a bonus or not getting it... It affects rational decisions. Look at Far Cry 5. Games media criticized it because... it didn't address racism. How would have a racism subplot improved a game about doomsday cults?

  7. Most sniper kills in WWII happened within 200 yards (source: I made it the F up, but for real I always heard this fact thrown around). Sniper doesn't necessarily mean the shot happens at long range, the police snipers that deal with hostage situations try to do it from as close as reasonably possible.

  8.  TDFPL  using logic against Sark or her simps is like trying to play tennis against people who are tossing live hand grenades at you. You can't come to them with good intentions and try to have a good faith argument. You may win under the game you think you're playing, but the rules are different to them.

  9.  @GameGod77  They didn't listen, because jurnos are still complaining about the games. Nobody mentioned female protagonists - and Anita criticized those too by the way - but nice job fighting that non existent enemy in your head.

  12. Low pressure ammo, also microphones can't record gunshots properly unless you have perfect conditions. For example in Heat they used live audio of the gunfire in the city in the movie because the reverb sounded so good. If you record it on an open field you get a very disappointing sound. Foley artists do things like closing sliding doors to get metallic sounds and then layer over the recordings of real guns to add punch.

  13.  @bobpage9615  "they'd just start selling legally and would not disappear" - What would be the point? They created what's essentially a parasite outlaw government with its own armed forces, infrastructure, logistics, communications, etc. When anyone can enter the drug business freely without these massive costs, they can undercut the cartels and they collapse under their own weight. They exist as a whole to subvert the law. Erase the law, 90% of their organization is completely useless. The biggest problem you could foresee would be all the hired killers who are suddenly out of a job but know where the cartel bosses live and how much money they have. That would be a show I'd want front row seats for.

  15.  @treeblinn  That doesn't make any sense. How do you reach a baseline of living standards by just producing food to feed yourself? If you're living in a mud hut with no clothes or electricity but your garden has all the food and water you need, you're self-sufficient in terms of survival but your living standards are of a middle age peasant. Exporting goods allows you to progress your living standards. Shooting for just survival keeps you where you are. We're not even discussing who gets to keep the money, just the fact that there's a huge misconception with the HURR DURR FEED DA PIPOL talking point. You can't excuse mismanagement away by saying you did it for the people.

  19. @Emperor Crimson The embargo was put in place due to the new Cuban regime nationalizing US oil refineries. I'm not going to defend US imperialism but commies can't slide the stick into their bike spokes, eat shit, and blame capitalists for the consequences of their spergery.

  20.  @russellmellott452  You can't blame capitalists for blocking commies from accessing capitalism. Oh your system only works when you can freely trade? Curious.

  21.  @47ex1  I've addressed this already but I'll say it again. You can't go RAH RAH FIGHT DA POWAH and then have no strategy when the powers that be find a way to punish you for your insolence.

  22. Recently I learned about the "bicameral mind" hypothesis for the origin of consciousness. Basically humans lacked the "self awareness" of conscience, so thoughts were perceived as voices and we thought it was the Gods communicating with us. As we gained consciousness we lost the voices, and there's a part of our brain that went inactive. People with schizophrenia have increased activity in that area of the brain. It's a crazy hypothesis and the evidence can just be wild coincidence, but it's interesting nonetheless.

  23. ​ @Pink.andahalf  Even countries with drafts and conscription have reservists. It's not a sneaky solution to a political problem, it's simply that bringing a former contract soldier back to speed is quicker than training an 18 year old or calling up the 35-40 year olds who were conscripted nearly two decades prior.

  24.  @mbnhiphopmusik6429  some antifa knucklehead in Germany published a guide on how to tell if kids' parents were nazis and one of the warning signs was braided hair. Even Merkel's party complained about that.

  25. Luty also published a companion PDF guide on several ways to scavenge the materials for the ammo. He had a way to make 380 Auto and .38 revolver shells.

  26. The DU core is sealed inside the round. You know how you can visit Chernobyl but you can't dig into the dirt? Same deal here. The bullet has to impact something and the core tip smashed into dust - then it's dangerous to inhale. The DU dust isn't left behind in the ammo can.

  27. ​ @EmparaNox  It's a novelty t-shirt. In the 90s unlicensed Simpsons characters printed on shirts were common so a Bart dressed as soldier with a map of the region and a quote saying "I was there and it sucked" was made then. It became a meme as pictures of those shirts started trending.

  29.  @nopizzawithoutpineapple  so Jack wanted a ban that would have been easily overturned at the supreme court over free speech, An*ta circumvented that pesky free speech by poisoning the industry against itself Yeah that's more insidious.

  30.  @VanatruFreyr  BS. If you actually look into it, that's false. You probably didn't "get rid of guns", and you probably had a downward trend of gun crime at the same time. This is basic government trickery to keep the dummies thinking they did something.

  31.  @HarryBalzak  The DU core is encased in metal in the 30mm API round and the 25mm AP round is encased in a plastic sabot and windscreen. It would be like getting contaminated by the box on a smoke detector.

  34. ​ @danielmorris7648  the Yakuza essentially "own" several industries like gambling machines or the MMA fighting business. When UFC bought Pride, they realized the Yakuza just took everything and left, they bought empty offices and a trademark name. And the UFC was told by Japanese investigative journalists they'd never be able to ressurect the Pride name because they still had tons of dirt on the criminal underworld accusations.

  38.  Wyatt Earp  if the Germans had won (which would have been impossible based on logistics alone), the Cold War wouldn't have happened. It's possible the communism would have been implemented in places where it didn't, simply due to fear of Nazi invasion.

  39. ​ @strellettes8511  You know how in The Matrix cellphones exist but the free humans use landlines to jump in and out? A kid born in 2005 wouldn't get that at first because from their perspective cellphones always had internet.

  40. That argument would make more sense if it was the ISPs restricting free speech. But the tech companies are just hosting a service on their own servers.

  41. +macgeek2004 how would it be a wonderful idea? First of all ISPs would be administrated by a state-owned enterprise, meaning that you can't hide from the government. It wouldn't matter if social media was nationalized or not, because the government ISP could just block access to any competing social media and forcing you to use the government's social media service and do something like China.

  42.  Virgil Grin  "I find it had to believe that someone that’s of below average intelligence successfully reloaded ammo" - that's because most commercial powders are tailor made for specific needs and if you use them wrong, you're pushing past the design parameters of the casing and chamber. If you're loading your ammunition with homemade black powder or crushed match heads, it's very difficult to achieve commercial ammo pressures. In a way, using the proper materials is dangerous because you're seeking high performance, while crude reloading is paradoxically "safer".

  43. +arlo bubble "Some of these prisoners were criminals, do you think it's wrong to imprison criminals?" dude western values are incompatible with such drivel. Our principles put the freedom of the innocent over the punishment of the guilty. Putting a single innocent person in incarceration is a crime because it is not just the theft of years of someone's life, but also a miscarriage of justice that threatens to invalidate any conviction secured by the incompetent fools that put innocent people in jail. "And what on earth makes you think this practice is unique to the Nazis? If you think starving prisoners is bad, look up the Holodomor." - Great, the Nazis are just as evil as Communists. Thanks for admitting that, because most of us consider the Communists to be absolute evil.

  46. "They could've chosen to be normal functioning members of society" - And how does someone protecting what's theirs somehow not make them functioning members of society? If every potential victim had the ability and will to do what they did, society would improve overall.

  48. Comparing a branch of armed forces to an assault formation to a manpower program. Impressive. None of the things you mentioned are related to each other.

  49.  High Shaun  In the end Weaver won. How do you think that guns can't be used against the government when they literally shot at law enforcement and the courts pretty much agreed they were in the right?

  50. Okay. Try to demonstrate good character after getting in a kerfuffle over hate speech online like Dank did. You're here, afraid of people exercising their rights, and trying to project that fear towards others. If you were not afraid, you'd brush it aside. But no. You can't let it go. It's a mind virus that burrowed into your head and now you need to get off your chest that others are the ones afraid. You're the coward. You believe might makes right, and guns make you afraid that people will call bluff on that might by demanding an equal playing field.
