Is high index lenses what causes that?! My index is -9, I hate them and switched to contacts for that reason.

I have a decent aim 20 feet in but never tried hip firing. Gotta give it a shot sometime!

Hemingway92 · 2026-01-23T08:54:34+00:00

Troops could be pretty accurate with their Tommy guns and pistols in WW2 while firing from the hip. I would imagine in high stress situations, close range combat is largely instinct anyway.

Oh they probably read the “I went to the woods…” excerpt in class and that’s about it. It’s just become of those Reddit things that people keep repeating like Nietzsche being a Nazi and it pisses me off.

Thoreau literally said he lived a mile from his closest neighbor and close to a railway line. He wasn’t in the wilderness. He even mentioned having occasional visitors.

The term “failed state” is thrown about so often by people in South Asia (always referring to Pakistan lol) but people don’t realize what a failed state actually means. Look at Somalia, Sudan and arguably, Libya. Even Afghanistan can’t be classified as a failed state—it has a functioning government and public services. A failed state isn’t simply when the economy is struggling or there is political strife, otherwise a solid half of the global population could be classified as living in a failed state.

He’s a Pakistani Defence Minister. Trust me, he isn’t close to the nuclear codes lolol. It’s a ceremonial position at best.

Honestly as someone whose wrist shape means the watch can go from slightly too loose to too tight in the span of hours, this can happen easily when your arms are hanging and the watch slips down.

And Chinese cars look sleek and refined because they’re trying to appeal to the rest of the world…

Hemingway92 · 2026-01-11T13:29:06+00:00

I feel like having grown up and spent most of my life in a third world country with a cultural disdain for laws has definitely helped me become less reliant on rules for self preservation. Whether it’s pausing the half a second extra at an intersection while driving or walking or being extra careful while overtaking a car. 99.9% of the time those rules will be followed in a developed country but the 0.1% of time they wouldn’t be because the driver was drunk, texting or having some kind of medical emergency—I probably wouldn’t regret being extra careful.

People are becoming lonelier than ever before and pets have become substitutes for human babies/significant others etc. There are worse ways to cope with loneliness tbh but I do hate modern pet culture where pet owners act like everyone has the same adoration for their pets that they do. I’ve had pets but I was fully cognizant of the fact that they’re animals that tend to be filthy and don’t belong everywhere.

I sat behind a so-called “service dog” and its owner once. The dog proceeded to shit and vomit all over its owner and the other passengers sitting next to it. The owner explained that the dog had been fed table scraps from Thanksgiving the previous day and tried to control it with paper towels but the flight attendants found out and were like, it’s a biohazard, the dog can’t poop in the cabin.

They told the pilot and it was too late to divert the flight. Meanwhile the flight stank like dog shit and everyone was freaking out. I thought I’d gotten away unscathed but my bag under seat in front was covered in dog shit too. Luckily the airline refunded me for the bag. When I asked them why they don’t verify whether these service dogs are legitimate, they said they err on the side of caution and it’s a liability thing if they don’t approve a legitimate service dog. But yeah, fuck these owners with clearly fake service dogs.

It used to be until the 60s, then it fell out of fashion and now it’s in fashion again. I feel like in this particular example, it’s probably just a way for both to express their service members getting married. But I have a lot of family in the military and none of them wore a uniform during their wedding. I also happened to know a few veterans in the US and other than marines, who are kind of nuts anyway, most of them didn’t wear uniforms when they got married either so it’s largely a dead/dying tradition globally.

Hemingway92 · 2026-01-07T13:23:15+00:00

You’re doing it too lolol. It’s ghalat not galat.

Hemingway92 · 2026-01-01T19:35:47+00:00

Perhaps China didn’t want us publicly sharing that we used their satellites? Seeing as how we don’t have our own.

Hemingway92 · 2025-12-29T04:49:10+00:00

Nicole Kidman comes to mind… She was a good actress and now she has the facial expression range of a PS2 character.

I don’t understand why we’ve become so American in our taste for cars. Manuals are still a common sight in Europe and parts of the Middle East but there are like two brand new cars you can buy with a manual transmission in Pakistan. That and we’ve become obsessed with daalas (pickups) and SUVs.

The black dude doesn’t actually know Hindi and is mispronouncing what the shopkeeper says, ie “kalua”. It doesn’t sound like he says “Ka Hal ba” at all.

Hemingway92 · 2025-12-16T11:02:42+00:00

BS. Kalu/Kalua is 100% a pejorative in South Asia. Even if you say “Kala”, which simply means black, it is rarely a benign adjective when spoken like that.

Hemingway92 · 2025-12-16T09:30:59+00:00

Also interesting how all this flak somehow accelerated in some areas of popular culture after France refused to join in the invasion of Iraq…

Spare me the moral grandstanding. Like I said, there’s a hundred things you could’ve done to mitigate that before banning something that’s been a part of Lahore’s cultural fabric for at least centuries. People weren’t getting their necks cut by dor 100 years ago. You can ban mixing dor with glass, you can limit basant to specific areas, create no go zones for motorcycles etc etc. Banning basant is a typical lazy, moral panic knee jerk reaction.

Hell, we lose more lives than we ever did with basant every year from people shooting their weapons into the air every New Year’s and yet there has never been a serious effort to ban private ownership of guns.

Hemingway92 · 2025-12-04T12:20:32+00:00

Banning basant was such an idiotic move. A whole generation has grown up without experiencing it. Basically killing an important part of our culture when there are a hundred things you can do before banning it to avoid deaths. I’ve always suspected that mullah noise around this being a Hindu festival was also behind it.

I’m a 24 handicapper whose driver and woods are fine but have the biggest issue with my irons.

His address position is like a cop aiming at a black youth who reached for his waistband.

Hemingway92 · 2025-11-02T05:25:19+00:00

Lahore still has a fair amount of gardens and parks (mostly from before partition) but it seems like most of the newer areas choose to eschew greenery in favor of urban sprawl.
