@Assault_Teddy@RecklessSquirel@YTMPod@LucasBotkin Yes I understand that and think everyone should have a full auto for those different scenarios. But the original tweet and the argument I am supporting is that you shouldn’t be using full auto for home defense because semi auto would be more effective in that scenario.
@Assault_Teddy@RecklessSquirel@YTMPod@LucasBotkin Nothing, that’s not what anyone here is arguing. The argument is the efficacy for home defense. You don’t need to dump a combat load to break an ambush or suppressing fire, you need well placed shots to stop an intruder and not 30 rounds into your drywall and the neighbors house.
I could stare at this for hours but I'd still shoot her in the head if George Washington told me to. That's chivalry. That's what it means to be a Knight.
Thefts like this, a catalytic converter in this instance, are interesting in that they have a wildly disproportionate effect on society.
They represent not just a material loss - they represent the destruction of potentiality, of all the value that could've sprung forth had it not been stolen.
Phone theft is similar in that its loss is not merely the value of the device, but potentially a bank account and family photo albums as well.
The destruction of public infrastructure might also fall into this category, a few hundred pounds of copper at the expense of millions of pounds of damage and public inconvenience.
These crimes ought to be punished with the same wildly disproportionate harshness their impact has on their victims.
There's a lesson from history we have forgotten, just as all history is a war on forgetting, that Britain learnt long ago.
“Men are not hanged for stealing horses, but that horses may not be stolen.”
— George Savile, 1st Marquess of Halifax, from his essay “Of Punishment” in Political, Moral, and Miscellaneous Thoughts and Reflections, 1750.
@DanOvercast@DocStrangelove2 People also forget that the original STG-44’s has insane reject rates on their stampings that would never be accepted now.
@theywilljustdie@slightcontempt This is who you marry if you are hyperoptimizing for your sons to be absolute beast warrior types. The other foid is for more aristocratic ambitions.
@CoastTwoGhost@gonzopilled Steak ‘n Shake was so much better pre pandemic, used to be insane value and the food was really good, much more average now.

@AaronBergman18 What I want is a “reduced talking” mode. All I need is a quick reminder 1 mile before I need to take a turn and then right before the turn. “Exit in 1 mile” “exit now”, not “Take exit XYZ onto abc memorial parkway toward Springfield” interrupting my music for 30 seconds.
ADHD “sufferers” be like yeah I finally started doing well at school after they gave me performance-enhancing drugs and doubled the amount of time I had for tests
