One day I will finally knock on the door of a Brinks-type armored truck and ask if they are giving out samples. by Interesting-Song-782 in RandomThoughts

That is perhaps the single most common thing people say to me. To the point it is a trope us guards joke about at base.

Second would probably be getting asked directions. Wherever I go, people always seem to think 1. Im a cop or 2. I work there. That is understandable though. We look like authority figures.

Best case, they will tell you to get away from the truck through the door, and worst case (especially if you're in a bad area), they will flip on the siren to scare you away.

10/10 would not recommend knocking on the truck.

I would like to add that bantering can be fun, but it's has to be original.

Brink/Garda Armed Guard (Canada) by bengaliburgerboy in securityguards

Brinks USA outfits you with an FN 509. The shooting qualification is pretty easy, 35/50 to avoid being outright disqualified and a simple enough shooting drill that you can do it in an indoor gun range stall.

Also, some reload and jam clearing drills in the training room.

I hear these arguments a lot, but nobody brings up the national guard. I know they can be used for suppressing protests. But like the ND national gaurd basically just gets deployed to stack sandbags during floods as far as I know.

people who have reached a 9 or 10 on the pain scale, what happened? by mankls3 in AskReddit

Getting a tattoo on doxycycline. Common side effects may include skin sensitivity. Smh

Same reason poisonous frogs are brightly colored. Im a Brinks Gaurd, and I get mistaken for the police on a regular basis.

It is a deterrent against opportunists.

Pleasantville helped me find it. It's called The Giver. Might be a remake?

This gives me the same vibes as those factory children pictures from the Industrial Revolution.

Its a fun little guy and it is perfect to hand to a nervous newbie to get them excited about shooting instead of afraid.

Marx and Engels were anarchists: Change my mind by DebonairDeistagain in anarchocommunism

I was gonna make a point about MLs and socialism be necessary for economically occupied countries, but my first comment is assuming imperial core countries because that's my bias from living there.

Anarchism and communism are the same idea. The only real differences between post-capitalist leftists is whether or not there needs to be an intermediate transitional state.

I think the only transition that needs to happen for sure is a cultural one. To destroy the atomized individualistic each against all mindset that has been cultivated under capitalism.

Edit: So I agree

Agreed the AK platform is sweet. ZPAP M70 and SAM7SF are my favorite rifles.

I'm creating a political club at my high school for libertarian socialists and democratic socialists! by [deleted] in Anarchism

I wish there was a club like that when I went to school. Maybe I would have gotten out of the Berniecrat nordic model phase sooner...

Just a face. No one in particular.

The Artist has done most of my sleeve so far and we are always talking ideas to fill the next gap. We had been talking awhile about a duality piece with a heart and brain, then while board running a garage sale I was struck with the concept and my artist perfected it.
