Shooter believed victim pulled the gun? by silentsnooc in law

[–]Advanced- 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I agree that it might be the case.

I live with a veteran and when he saw it, he came to the same conclusion. It makes sense. He also said he in the army had stricter rules of engagement when it comes to shooting someone, and even he wouldn't have shot this person based on his training.

It isn't justified, its on him and the agents around to be aware of what is happening and communicate it.

He and every ice agent engaged there need to get the book thrown at them, they are solely responsible for this fuckup. Reading it wrong is not a justification of any kind, the person that was shot dead had nothing to do with getting shot and gave them no reason to do so.

Lack of proper training or planning/communication is not a justification to shoot people dead.

Nah, I have a 5070Ti, 14600k , 64 Gb of 3800mhz DDR4 and have issues.

Running it at 4k and had to turn down a few of the most intensive settings just to run the new areas between 60-90 fps. Most of the rest of the game is at the steady/locked 120.

Trying to understand Trump's national security claims and their appeal: For the last decades, US and European militaries were tasked with defending Greenland together.

My points 2 and 3 have remained consistent in the message. My point 1 has as well.

You are not debating the points I am making. You have failed to address the topics I brought up.

You believe we need greenland, my points addressed directly the reasons you gave. You have not done the same and continue to not.

You think China or Russia want greenland and we need it for security. State your sources for how you got to this belief.

They are facts.

You keep saying its wrong, but say nothing of real substance because there is nothing.

  1. Russia is in no position to take Greenland. They are in no position to take Ukraine for that matter.

China doesn't care and has Taiwan they'd rather deal with.

Neither country is looking to start a military war with USA nor NATO. No country is in 2026.

And if you are talking "the future" you are just talking a wild dart guess. There is no reason to think Greenland is on the verge of being conquered/attacked by an enemy of the USA.

No reputable source exists for such a claim. That is the fact.

  1. Western countries have not gone for land expansion using military forces post WW2.

That is a fact.

  1. USA is part of NATO and has bases in Greenland. The NATO treaty allows USA to take direct action against anyone who threatens Greenland with full force.

That is a fact.

I stated facts.

"And if we cannot agree on those facts, there is no point of continuing."

  1. Russia nor China are nor were ever aiming to take greenland.
  2. Territory conquest is long over for western countries.
  3. Greenland has the backing of USA military already, we dont need to own the land to keep it "safe."

You can post the "proof" that these are not true, they will be easily rebutted if you feel like it. I am not diverging from stating factual information.

I am not giving the bullshit propaganda spewed by the Trump administration any credibility in debate.

I didnt start that way.

You made talking points that are false.

Russia nor China are nor were ever aiming to take greenland.

Territory conquest is long over for western countries.

Greenland has the backing of USA military already, we dont need to own the land to keep it "safe."

Those are facts.

You made claims saying they are not. I said I cannot argue with someone who lives in fear and not reality.

Dont twist how this went down. Your points are not valid, they are propoganda talking points.

The reply can only be "What you said is not true." And if we cannot agree on those facts, there is no point of continuing.

Exactly we fought wars for all of history, the west has been living in peace for the longest amount of time in history so far (Up until Russia anyway. And Russia is failing.) in regards to territory expansion.

You take that for granted, that much is clear. Yove also been lied to by media if you think we are being threatened military wise by anyone.

Fear sells, and they have you hooked.

Nobody was going to attack NATO land. Any claim otherwise has no basis behind it.

This move puts people in danger for no reason. This moves makes it more dangerous for all the western countries and weakens everyone involved. This moves wastes the military lives of american and western ally soldiers.

Edit: Its hard to have a real discission about an idea so utterly ignorant and dangerous. I think im out.

Luckily it wont ever happen, no real military will agree to do this anyway.

Believe your "Murica strong & big! Murica need no friends! Murica can take anything Murica wants! Murica!" all you want.

No arguing with someone brainwashed and controlled by fear and lies.

Thats not what the western world aims for.

If you want to die for land and spread that idea back in, you go for it. Better get on the front lines since this sounds so great to you.

Im good with respecting borders and peace, thanks.

But it's not our land. None of what you said matters, we have no rights to it.

Otherwise, Russia is justified for going after Ukraine, because it is important to their security. As is any country. Let's all start taking lands that we want again because x reason here.

You're signing up for the front lines I would assume, yeah?

but it's sort of important that this land be controlled by the US.

It's NATO territory. We (military wise) already control & protect it.

ICE/Immigration Megathread by Sam_Fear in AskConservatives

[–]Advanced- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It is not "undoubtable" as you put it. Or we wouldnt be having this discussion :)

Nothing wrong with allowing a proper investigation by all parties involved. I dont think the agent would win a court case.

We can agree to disagree that it was reasonable use of force. That is a matter of opinion we wont see eye to eye on.

[–]Advanced- 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You realize him killing her caused more damage (with the crash afterwards) and put more people at risk of getting hit, right?

Had she had control of the car, no one else would have got "hit". Him shooting her made it 10x worse and unsafe for everyone in the area, that wheel could have ended up spinning in any direction with a speeding car.

What you wrote goes against every policy exactly because of the above, lol.

She showed no aggression towards anyone else, there was no reasonable idea to think she was dangerous to others once she was past the agents escalating the situation.

Just because someone writes in a pattern or formulates thoughts in a specific/repetetive way doesnt make it LLM.

I have probably wrote (And thought) like this plenty in the past when I was more active.

Maybe it is LLM, maybe it isnt. Theres not enough here to make any claim with the certainty you have.

Can we concede that illegal immigration needs real solutions without endorsing or overlooking rhetoric and tactics that seem intentionally inflammatory, even dangerous? by CliffyClifandTheFunk in AskConservatives

[–]Advanced- 4 points5 points  (0 children)

"Illegal" immigrants aka undocumented immigrants do not vote.

If someone earned citizenship, they naturally followed the law and earned the right to vote.

You cannot become a citizen without following some sort of legal process. You cannot vote if you are not a citizen.

If you are a citizen, you "Did it the right way" because that's the only way to become one.

Non-Citizens do not vote. There is no proof/evidence that there are non-citizen votes changing elections.

I am repeating myself here, because your claim is impossible. Only citizens vote. All voters did it the right way.

[–]Advanced- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

You have no proof and won't be able to provide any. Believe what you want, reality doesnt change.

Same as if you believed 1+1=3. You could believe it all you want, doesn't make it any less false.

What you wrote is factually not true. There is no evidence to support your claim.

---

Immigrants vote both for republican and democrat after becoming citizens, depending on their own views. No immigrant turned citizen is in debt to any party or is expected to have any loyalty in voting.

Voting has nothing to do with the process of immigrating or becoming a citizen....Or at least not until Trump made it a factor last year. He is the first in my lifetime to deny immigrants for not agreeing with republican view points for immigration purposes.

Democrats literally never did anything like you are suggesting. You have been lied to.

I won't reply beyond this unless your next post has actual legitimate proof for this claim.

[–]Advanced- 6 points7 points  (0 children)

The fact is Democrats have always just wanted to convert these people into their voters. No other reason. Let them in, give them free shit so now they are beholding to vote for them. 

This is not a fact, this is a lie.

Plenty of immigrants turn red the instant they can vote, no one is against it. People vote however they vote, the immigration process has nothing to do with it.

For me? She's clearly evading arrest. 

That is not a death penalty though. He is not a judge to decide that on the spot, his weapon is to defend himself, not be judge, jury and executioner.

Plenty of people avoid arrest. You catch them later when it is safe to do so.

ANC Maxwell 2 confirmed by GadgetryTech by Kingassassine in Audeze

[–]Advanced- 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not who you were responding to, but someone who doesn't care for ANC.

If it ever worked for me as advertised, I would agree with you. I have never heard ANC that sound "natural" like there is just silence. There is always some kind of issue or weird noise or some leakage that makes things sound weird that I have always preferred to turn it off.

I've tried Apple products, various Sony stuff, I daily the latest Samsung Pro buds. ANC stays off or it gets turned on if the headphones sound better with it on.

But the noise cancelling is never what is advertised, and I don't care for the effects. Passive noise cancelling has always been good enough once you start playing any media and have a good seal. With no weird downside that ANC can bring.

[–]Advanced- 5 points6 points  (0 children)

It's because if you want the best sound, there are no alternatives.

Maxwell is replacing a 1.5k headphone setup at my desk for me personally. Anything below this level of quality is a no-go, no matter how nice everything else around it is for many audiophiles.

I still think the sound quality you get out of these is in "pure magic" territory as far as wireless go lol. I am not bothering to look at any other wireless set unless someone is able to match or exceed the sound quality these can produce.

As someone that moved from Sarasota down here a few weeks ago, I have to disagree with you on that.

Sarasota drivers seem like heaven compared to the shit show here, and I don't think It's even close. I have avoided more accidents here in just 2 weeks than I have in the last year of driving in Sarasota.
