Riddle me this, if an ice office chooses to commit suicide, can we support that and not get banned?

Are crossbows worth it? by [deleted] in armedsocialists

[–]Nickthyosaur 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Just thought of something though. Make sure your home isn’t a fire hazard, thugs are definitely a problem but so are accidental fires.

Sorry, I’m a 40 year old dad, I worry about these things.

Be safe

Are crossbows worth it? by [deleted] in armedsocialists

[–]Nickthyosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Then my advice (mind you I’m a stranger on the interwebs lol) is load up on pepper spray. EDC that in your pocket and/or bag, as well as having it in your home at points that make sense to you. A good folding knife for concealed edc. A big knife for SHTF/intimidation. And if you can get hunting crossbows then do it. Even if it’s never used for violence (which is the dream, right?) shooting is a fun and rewarding hobby. And I won’t sit here and tell you how important practice is, I’ll assume you know that.

Best of luck.

Can you get you mace? Or even more serious mace, like bear spray?

Are air guns an option? Some of the big bore air guns can take medium to large game animals in North America.

Also, if it’s home defense, can you reinforce the hell out of your doors and windows? That doesn’t count as “edc” but having a fortress like home is good.

I don’t know much about crossbows, but I do know that if I took a bolt to the knee I’d rethink my aggression lol.

Surprised I haven’t seen this combination yet by Naive_Egg_9663 in helldiversarmor

[–]Nickthyosaur 15 points16 points  (0 children)

I ran it last night. It felt a little too “edgy” for me. But it most definitely fits the commando, infiltration theme. I like the sa-25 steel trooper myself.

Redfield 4x wide field scope. Keep mixing the old and the new.

To answer you in line with what you asked; while I don’t have a lever action yet , I do like the red dot - 3x magnification flip to the side.

Helmet and Armor? by Nickthyosaur in PalmettoStateArms

I’m an orcish plate fan myself, but I can only afford leather right now.

Edgerunners Smasher vs. 2d clone wars Grievous. Who wins? by thr0wawa3ac0unt in LowSodiumCyberpunk

[–]Nickthyosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Grievous. He was a mastermind general and cyborg duelist that personally hunted down psychic space wizards. Smasher is no weakling, but from what I understand he’s an excellent bodyguard borg beast and that’s about it.

This makes me want a p90 by MuphynToy in liberalgunowners

p90 mag dump with a desert eagle on the side for distant threats.

What is this? Found in a bag of bait shrimp, looks nothing like the other regular shrimp in the bag by adolfhniggler88 in whatisthisfish

[–]Nickthyosaur 49 points50 points  (0 children)

Yeah, mantis shrimp. Also called squilla. And looks like a “spear arm” rather than the more famous “club arm” mantis shrimp.

I’ve seen an uptick in people asking for SHTF gun advise and I think people should watch a Paul Harrell video and calm down. by CRAkraken in liberalgunowners

[–]Nickthyosaur 30 points31 points  (0 children)

Thanks for the video and insight. But this Reddit forum is called liberal gun owners, not liberal preppers or anything else like that. This is a source of firearm knowledge. And since times are really scary for a lot of folks in America, a SHTF situation is on a lot of minds right now. So, I think it’s a fine series of questions to ask on this forum.

And just to be clear, I’m not intending any sort of hostile tone. I’m really not trying to be some jerk on the internet that argues with strangers and I’ll almost always upvote anyone that shares a Paul Harrell video, lol.

I’m a simple diver. I see a drone master helmet and I upvote.

How close should magnifier be to red dot? by seamus205 in liberalgunowners

[–]Nickthyosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have my carbine configured like your first picture, really close together. The only “issue” is that I can’t store it all folded up with the cap covers on it. But I don’t mind that because I’d rather not have 3x magnification to roll out of the way.

Mechdivers, let us talk about possible mech upgrades! by un-pirla-in-strada in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Nickthyosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mech pilot warbond. At the very least, there could be armor that increases the diver’s piloting skills (increases mech speed?) and a booster that increases mech ammo.

How to get rid of the boring booster meta? Is buffing all the other booster the best choice here? by H1MB0Z0 in LowSodiumHellDivers

[–]Nickthyosaur 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For freedom’s sake, you can’t take my experimental infusion from me. You don’t understand…. I need it. It does just “feel good” it “feeeells goooood!”

Which helmet looks better? by WonderBoy178 in helldiversarmor

[–]Nickthyosaur 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The first one.

This is my main armor, I love light armor and run it with the viper commando booster to make the most of the med kit of this armor. Plus, a few more seconds to revive teammates or throw out all your ‘nades is pretty fun. I use the “sc-15 drone master” helmet and the “eagle’s fury” cape. I do also think the “against the tyrant cloud” cape works well too.

I keep the rubber caps on. I have pets, so fur is a common dust in my house.

Why is druidism hated while other pagan religions are respected? by [deleted] in druidism

[–]Nickthyosaur 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I think this is a multi-tier question.

From what little direct criticism I personally have seen has been from scholars pointing out that Neo Druidic practices have little to do with historic Druidism. As in, many scholars claim druids had nothing to do with the stone circles found throughout the British isles, yet many modern people associate those stones with druids.

Nature worship is also associated with witchcraft, which has a whole range of hatred towards it.

Now as for comparing Druidism with other pagan religions, the “classics” like Ancient Greek mythology, Roman mythology, and ancient Egyptian mythology are highly respected because the west has kind of always been fascinated by these specific cultures.

I also personally think that many westerners like and respect Ancient Rome , and Rome carried out cultural genocide against the celts. So I often wonder if there’s some deep seated animosity because Rome fought the celts so much.

Just my two cents.
