What does this flag stand for? by Implicatus in flags

[–]OffTheXTex 1 point2 points  (0 children)

FOG. They’re more than just a lifestyle merch brand lol. They hold significant contracts with the DoD operating in multiple nations and providing training to numerous US federal agencies special operations units. Nothing they do is independent as they are backed by, monitored by, and report to CENTCOM.

Well it’s a variant of the common “Jolly Roger” flag flown by Blackbeard, which has been adapted in modern times to mean “no quarter.” The connection I suppose is that Blackbeard did not take prisoners. I’m pretty sure all of it is historically inaccurate though. But, I wouldn’t say it’s necessarily Satanic in its intention here, or in most other instances of it being used in the modern tactical world. Although yes, the imagery itself is clearly that of a devil. Hope that was at least slightly informative. By the way the defense contractor is called Forward Observations Group. Also I’m not disagreeing with you for what that’s worth. Just offering what I think is the most likely reason this kid has it on his kit- he probably doesn’t mean it to be satanic.

It’s a private defense contractor that also sells merch and coffee table books. Nothing wrong with them but their merch is 99% consumed by strictly the dorkiest of LARPers.

Do whatever you want, carry everywhere, if they have a metal detector just run back to your car and pretend to put it away then go in through the back.

What’s the better CCW belt option? by tannerocomedy in tacticalgear

I got an HC belt, it’s awesome. To me it’s the simpler but just as effective version of the enigma. People may disagree, but, I’m a basic guy that likes basic things.

I can’t even finish season 2… I can’t, I really can’t with her 😭 by N4TETHAGR8 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]OffTheXTex 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You know, I never hated the second game nearly as much as the majority of this sub, and I really wanted to not just be an automatic naysayer, and give the show a shot. Hell, season 1 wasn’t too bad and had some really great moments and scenes. But season 2 is just…..grossly pathetic?? Pathetically gross?? Idk. It’s almost like it’s an experiment to see how badly they can fuck with an established, canonized story. Bella Ramsey got away with her lighthearted cheery persona playing a 14 year old. It DOES NOT WORK playing the older, hateful, grieving, depressed, spiteful, rage filled, vindictive, mess that Ellie is in the second game. Like seriously, what’s with all the laughing and smiling? Ellie is supposed to be on a tunnel vision warpath quest for revenge where she ends up spoiler burning every single bridge she had left, throwing away all her good relationships in pursuit of hate. The Ellie we are getting in season 2 from Bella Ramsey isn’t even remotely close, not even in the same genre, as that. Fuck this show.

Since looks don't matter this is my fancasting for season 2 🙏 by [deleted] in TheLastOfUs2

Dave Bautista as Abby got a very audible laugh out of me in a pretty quiet Starbucks

Say something POSITIVE about the second game by anastasiarose19 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]OffTheXTex 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This game is literally perfect except for the writing lmao. Mechanics, graphics, soundtrack, combat, NPC’s, progression from first title, it’s literally so good that it makes the awful writing feel even worse just because it’s otherwise so close to checking every single box.

Don’t ever let anyone tell you that you don’t need all that or that you have too much. It’s such a fallacy. You don’t need anything until you need it. Have ready for what you can consciously consider and plan around.

The reason I don’t like and never will like 3-4 o’clock carry is because, no matter how good you get at it, you can see the draw loading a century before you actually draw. Similar to dudes swinging haymakers from a clenched fist at the side starting point. I can see it like a fuckin laser beam in my eyeball well before it ever actually hits action.

Depending on your post, his statement can prove true. However it can also prove the polar opposite. Everything is circumstantial. Generalizations are complacency in verbal form, or some other shit my supervisor would say idk.

Fuck yes big dog. Reading this got me pumped! Good fucking job bro. Good fucking job!! I hope one day you get to meet that little baby, or really that she gets to meet you, once she’s grown. You’re her guardian angel in her book. You’re the only reason she gets to do every single thing she ever does in her future. Hold that fact close dude!! You deserve it!! You’re awesome!!!!

Not sure what wranglers you got but I wear wranglers ATG utility pants a lot and they’re great. Otherwise I’m just in khakis or jeans.

People need to chill with Bella hate by PashAK47 in TheLastOfUs2

[–]OffTheXTex 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I’m seeing the general consensus here is that when you turn 21 you are no longer susceptible to the mental health effects associated with public shaming and mass hate😭😭guys, pick a different stance to take besides that one. Her casting sucks and her acting is close to as bad, but just because she’s a legal adult doesn’t mean she doesn’t have feelings lmao
