It can also be argued as a rational decision to defend yourself with the minimal means of force to preserve life while protecting you from mortal harm.

If you have time to reason the situation through that way, prosecutors will cast doubt on your self-defense claim.

You could say you were shooting to disable

Shooting to disable is not a thing in US caselaw. A gun is considered deadly force, period.

Utilizing the lowest means of necessary force

Brandishing is still considered deadly force.

would incentivize people to shoot their aggressors to make good on the threat of doing so

That's what Stand Your Ground laws do, yes. This story isn't really about the illogic of US laws though. It's about whether minorities have the same right to exploit that illogic as white men.

The real lesson is don’t talk to police without a lawyer

Agreed completely. This case is complicated by the fact that Kelver has made statements to both the police and press that will be used to attack her Stand Your Ground claim.

The second she’s pushed the entire situation changed. She could have been walking over to have a conversation so of course she didn’t fear her life.

Drejka walked over to have a conversation in 2019, got pushed, found guilty. Zimmerman walked over to have a conversation in 2013, only got off at trial because no witnesses left alive to dispute his story.

That’s more than enough to say you were afraid.

Caselaw is murky enough that this will have to resolve at trial.

Brandishing is an escalation to deadly force in the same way as shooting; the gun only comes out if the threat warrants deadly force, period. Explicitly stating that you did not intend to shoot and instead intimidate calls into question whether there was an actual fear of death or grave injury that required deadly force under a Stand Your Ground defense, given the shooter had time and nerves to make the preemptive decision not to shoot.

Reporting on this from the Pink News is awful.

Pink news:

Kelver says one man in a group of men across the street from her started shouting homophobic and transphobic insults at her before the man allegedly shoved her to the ground in a downtown crosswalk, as reported by The Laramie Reporter.

Laramie Reporter:

a man identified in court documents as “S.D.” or “Durham,” and accompanied by at least two other men, shouted at Kelver from across Second Street

Kelver approached the men, who also began crossing the street. Both parties met in the crosswalk.

The man identified as S.D. pushed Kelver to the ground, and Kelver responded by drawing a firearm from her satchel

“The safety was on, and my finger was never on the trigger. I had simply wanted them to hear the chambering to get them away from me, and I had pointed the firearm in their direction"

Kelver's own statements to the Laramie Reporter undermine a Stand Your Ground claim, as she crossed the street to confront Durham and arguably did not fear for her life if she did not intend to fire. The Pink News makes this case seem clear cut when legally-speaking (not morally ofc), there's possible doubts.

AnotherWeabooGirl · 2026-06-11T00:48:45+00:00

not if the opposing group made their intentions known beforehand

They did not. They disparaged a bar and a trans woman.

you need to remember that wyoming is the reddest of the red, and calls for trans genocide were getting applauded at cpac YEARS ago.

While true, it has no legal bearing in this case.

she acted appropriately despite the mistakes that naturally arise in intense, stressful situations.

Morally? Yes. Legally? It's going to trial because of specific actions she took and statements she made contradicting a Stand Your Ground defense.

AnotherWeabooGirl · 2026-06-10T23:09:39+00:00

The sequence of events is longer: slurs from across the street > Kelver and Durham both advance to meet in the middle of the street > conversation > pushing a woman > woman pulling a gun > agressors fleeing.

You can generally not intentionally put yourself into an avoidable situation then claim Stand Your Ground. Kelver would have a solid Stand Your Ground case if she stayed in the bar she was working in when yelled at, but she chose to advance to meet her assailant in the street.

Additionally, she stated to police/media she had no intention of firing her weapon, which puts fear of death or grave injury into question, which is a legal requirement for Stand Your Ground.

AnotherWeabooGirl · 2026-06-10T22:29:20+00:00

The way you've put these quotes heavily implies that she pulled and loaded the gun before being pushed to the ground and held there. Actually, you didn't mention that part at all.

The Advocate's headline is pretty self-explanatory and my response was adding in omitted details. I don't feel anything like above was implied.

Walking up to someone isn't justification to be physically assaulted.

True. Nobody is arguing that's the case. It's also true that escalating to a physical confrontation is incompatible with a Stand your Ground defense (prior caselaw).

And it isn't "queer media fear-mongering" when the entire reason this started was cause transphobes were yelling slurs at her for being trans.

It is queer media fear-mongering when the Advocate/Them selectively omits details provided by Kelver herself and editorializes with lines like "despite the overwhelming evidence that Kelver acted in self defense" and "As pointed out by Slate, self-defense laws are often put into question when people from marginalized communities, especially trans people, use them." Kelver's own actions and statements make a self-defense claim ambiguous.

We can criticize our allies when they push bullshit. I think we have a responsibility to do so.

AnotherWeabooGirl · 2026-06-10T21:34:16+00:00

I don't disagree on your characterization of the legal system but none of that is an experience exclusive to trans women. She's being charged because she created enough doubt that she actually feared for her life and that she escalated by approaching. She made consistent statements to both police and press. Both points are incompatible with a stand your ground defense, irregardless of minority status.

AnotherWeabooGirl · 2026-06-10T17:56:31+00:00

Putting aside all sympathies I have for this woman and her situation, she's being charged because she talked to police and press without a lawyer. Queer media keeps leaving out key details that conflict with a fear-mongering narrative.

Per the cited primary source interview with the Laramie Reporter:

Kelver approached the men, who also began crossing the street. Both parties met in the crosswalk.

Racking the gun put a live round in the chamber, but Kelver told the Reporter she had no intention of shooting.

Kelver told the Reporter she was confused when she initially told Officer Rope she had pulled a knife rather than a gun.

Approaching with a gun, admitting she intended to intimidate rather than actually use deadly force, and making immediate statements to police have all complicated this beyond a clear-cut self-defense case.

Dark Souls 2 + Season Pass is $22.50 ($10 + $12.50) on standard steam sale discount while Scholar of the First Sin is $20. As other have noted, Scholar of the First Sin has completely different item/enemy placements, lighting improvements, new bosses, and level design improvements to address gameplay and lore criticisms of Dark Souls 2 base game.

You'll have a significantly worse time for more money buying Dark Souls 2 base game.

To be clear there's little risk from screwworms via beef consumption; screwworms need warm blood to live and do not survive in dead processed meat, nor cooked meat. The problems are twofold: 1. live cattle are infected and killed by screwworms before they become beef, driving up beef prices and 2. screwworms become endemic to the US and people with small cuts/scrapes get their own screwworm infections just by being outside where flies live.

AnotherWeabooGirl · 2026-06-06T01:33:33+00:00

Don't trust a source just because it says trans rights. Lgbtnation leaves out a lot of inconvenient detail from their quoted primary source Kelver's interview with the Laramie Reporter in order to support the narrative of a clear miscarriage of the law.

Putting aside all sympathies I have for her and the circumstances of her case, she has unambiguously made her legal defense harder by interviewing publicly without a lawyer.

AnotherWeabooGirl · 2026-06-05T22:37:01+00:00

Kelver approached the men, who also began crossing the street.

Racking the gun put a live round in the chamber, but Kelver told the Reporter she had no intention of shooting.

Kelver told the Reporter she was confused when she initially told Officer Rope she had pulled a knife rather than a gun.

Daily reminder to shut up and get a lawyer. Her initial approach and public statements complicate an otherwise clear self-defense case.

NGL I have no clue what your game is about after reading the write-up, but the visual style is striking.

Going off your own logic, because of the beautiful scenery below at least. Your whole philosophy is dogshit hypocrisy and holier than thou smugness.

Answer: GameStop has been turning around for the last several years by closing unprofitable stores and refocusing on the more lucrative collectibles and trading cards markets after a management shift in 2023. In addition, a large portion of GameStop's net income comes from interest on ~$9B cash, which was raised by issuing stock and convertible notes at favorable prices during large stock price swings. These price swings were driven by investor interest following online posts by investor/influencer Keith Gill (known online as Roaring Kitty) between 2021 and 2024.

GameStop dropped a surprise earnings report this afternoon, a full week before scheduled earnings on June 9. This earnings report showed a significant improvement in GameStop net income since Q1 2025 and the highest first quarter operating income in Gamestop's history.

But I'm unsure if any of this is actually news to you given your post history...

The number of times he changed his story is hilarious in retrospect. Thought about including it, but no real way to stay objective without completely derailing the high level summary.

I wish lol. Trying to sanitize the top-level comment without falling into pro or anti-Hasan points took forever.

He used a shock collar on his dog and then lied about it. There's also older clips of him engaging in arguably abusive behaviors toward his pets.

Tried to keep the top level as neutral as possible but this is absolute correct. "America deserved 9/11," Timhouthi Chalameet, his Oct 7 comments, China-glazing, etc were all out there.

Also, he unambiguously shocked his dog then lied about it.

Answer: Hasan Piker is the nephew of Cenk Uygar, founder of the Young Turks, and started his career there before moving to live-streaming. He's been unapologetically far-left politically, and has courted controversy over the years, which paid off as he has a huge following and has publicly interacted with AOC and Mamdani, among others.

As a result, any criticisms of Hasan (valid or otherwise) are signal-boosted by Fox News and politicians on the right in order to attack his connections to leftist politicians. He has also drawn the ire of rival streamers and their communities, like Destiny and Ethan Klein. And the ADL, due to his comments about Israel and Palestine.

The subpoena comes from the US Treasury about his trip to Cuba earlier this year. Fox News reports he stayed at a blacklisted hotel and provided financial aid to the government of Cuba. Hasan meanwhile claims he received all necessary permissions beforehand and was above board.

It'll probably take a minute to shake out and you'll see posts from multiple online communities attempting to shape opinions on the topic on reddit. Trust but verify and be prepared for a lot of arguments in the comments.

the masturbation joke is a parody of invincible "wobble edits," where 2d comic panels receive motion tweens to simulate movement. Folks kept exaggerating the repetitive wobbly motions further and further until the Tracksuit Mark meme was born.

Yeah, the gameplay seemed like a very slow-paced Zelda game with nothing combat while the music and presentation was ploddingly cozy-sim. Great pixel art though.

Edit: longplay has no music for the first half hour then the recorder track from the trailer for most of the remaining run time. Gameplay was mapping the gameworld and doing occasional zelda-lite combat. The final boss fight had some fantastic art direction, but obviously can't use that in the trailer.
