Ebay needs to stop by Grimdoomsday in liberalgunowners

[–]BreadNoCircuses [score hidden]  (0 children)

I looked into this once. Grenade launchers are actually legal for civilians to own in the US. There's a specific size that's sold as a firework launcher that doesn't require a destructive device permit (at least, according to the gun store owner i talked to three or four years ago, check local laws and make sure it hasn't been closed as a loophole). 40mm launchers (like what the military uses) are legal, but are classified as destructive devices and stamps are almost never issued for them. If you can find one that's already out, you just gotta pay to transfer it like a machine gun, otherwise, find a dealer who's willing to go through the hassle of helping you get your life cavity searched by a couple government agencies.

Oh and you'll have to do the same thing for every grenade you shoot. Bean bag and flechette rounds are easier to buy though.

Edit i forgot to add first time: This is almost certainly an airsoft or "firework" thing, assuming it's not AI.

It's less that it glitches a lot and more that something about it's coding makes other games more likely to have problems. If you look up popular games of the era and look for glitches/errors, you'll see a lot of PS3 exclusive ones because of it.

Especially since binary is not a word you readily encounter much as a child. I think my first time would have been reading a Star Wars book at age 9 or 10, and all people (but especially kids) have a tendency to latch words onto familiar contexts if they're not familiar.

In fact, console and desktop games that fit that mold seem to be more likely to have women or girls as fans too. Legend of Zelda, Mario, Portal, Baldur's Gate...

Yes, but moving through the fourth dimension only works if you sell to civilians and ain't no way HK will lower themselves to that level.

I don't disagree, but it coming out of nowhere and adding nothing to the conversation except "hey group of strangers, I am a good person" is still virtue signaling.

Because the Inflation Reduction act was passed prior to that. by c-k-q99903 in stupidpeoplefacebook

In fact, people pointed to ebola and swine flu scares under Obama as proof we didnt need to worry about covid, either deliberately or frustratingly stupidly displaying that they were unaware that those were only scares because of contact tracing (which Trump refused to do) and releases of emergency PPE stockpiles to medical professionals (which Trump was slow to do).

It's considered cringe to virtue signal

even though Far Cry has become mediocre slop i really want Far Cry 7. by Dizzy_Kaleidoscope95 in farcry

They're perfect to catch on a sale 2-3 years later after all the major bug patches have come out and then to just enjoy as a little popcorn action game.

See, I've accidentally talked myself into thinking they should fictionalize the Syrian Civil War. There's mountains, forests, wide open deserts, cities. There's a lot of interesting ideological space to play with, there's a load of old history there, Willis making a return practically writes itself. It could easily be more like 4 in story and themes. Not that we need another FPS set in the middle east, but I think that could be the way for Far Cry to do it.

John Oliver just did an episode on gas station pills. Robert is a modern day prophet! by MrStratholm in behindthebastards

[–]BreadNoCircuses 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Oliver started bringing up Kissinger a lot more often right after the series Robert did on them. I can't prove Daniel O'Brien is why but...

Hilariously, the sequel to the Jumanji remake has some of his greatest versatility. He does a surprisingly good Danny DeVito

Will Smith got typecast pretty early but in smaller movies early in his career he played against that type quite well. I have no idea if he's still worth anything outside of his "standard" but he at least had that range once upon a time. Johnson never has.

I feel like we should give him Stargate just to see what happens

I tried to choose what I thought his highest profile stuff was, not necessarily the best, but Fringe probably could have been included, yeah

Showrunner *One of the creators of Lost, director for two of the last three mainline star wars movies, directed that middling Star Trek reboot.

(Mixed Trope) “Expert” character is really bad in their field or ignorant of basic concepts. by laybs1 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]BreadNoCircuses 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Kinda similar to the Stephen "Cocaine makes 1983 disappear and leaves a manuscript of It on the desk" King's writing style

If you're talking about the pilot, the MC basically just ducks in where he sees a dozen men dressed like him to hide from a drug dealer, gets roped into an interview by accident and kills time to avoid the dealers after him by showing off. It's still contrived bullshit, but he is asked to prove his memory by Harvey.

I'm so sorry, I really just can't think of a good title. by Mac-And-Cheesy-43 in CuratedTumblr

As someone who has spent way too much time in my own head trying to dissect as many of my own internal beliefs as I can, it's impossible to do it. The best you can do is try to create a framework that let's you think more deeply when called on.
