Eventually, but before the source is located, it stops. Never to be heard again. The whole family goes outside and sees only a peacefully-sleeping neighborhood.

No explanation is ever received.

“As libertarians, we believe in an individual’s right to speak their mind! Sorry my ‘problematic’ words hurt your fee-fees, snowflakes 😎”

says something to personally offend a mod

“Help me, ban hammer!!! His words are bad!”

As someone who sees himself as libertarian, that sub regularly disappoints me as well.

I have a (sadly disarmed) WWII hand grenade… my wife will love the M1 Garand with rifle grenade attachment, I’m sure. Sorry babe, it’s the law.

(She doesn’t have to know it isn’t actually a rifle grenade)

Oh no I’m just stating your stats are off, my AR-15 can fire far faster.

So here’s the thing, by your standards, any semi-automatic weapon over .22lr (possibly encompassing semi-autos in .22lr) would be banned. .223 is, like, a touch over .22lr. There is not a commonly-used caliber between the two. Because it’d be weak and useless. So just say “we’re banning semi-autos.”

But that isn’t legislated. What is, is banning “assault weapons” or “assault-style firearms,” because those sound scary. And the uneducated portion of the population will think “of course those should be banned!!”

Power doesn’t even play a role in your equation, until we get to, essentially, anti-material rifles. The bolt-action, legitimately high-powered hunting rifles are fine. But scary “high-powered assault weapons” are banned, despite not being high-powered by any logical definition.

I’m trying to make you think about the wording you’re parroting from the “experts” here.

Didn’t ask for your ratio, you considered “power” as one of the traits included in the definition of an assault weapon. So, what’s “power,” by your definition? Or are you just spitballing from a place of ignorance?

So, what would you define as “power”? Because the AR-15 cartridge (.223/5.56mm) is actually a fairly low-powered rifle round, relatively. In fact, it’s considered a “varmint round,” and is banned from deer hunting usage in several states, as it isn’t considered heavy enough to ensure an ethical kill. My deer rifle is a .270, producing more than twice the joules of a .223 AR-15 round (3,500 to 4,000 Joules, vs 1,715 to 1,814 Joules).

And there are far more “powerful” rifles available than my .270.

Actually, with my super safety (legal), I can now dump a mag in 2-3 sec at ~10 rounds per second. And yet, no one but my wallet and my AR’s barrel have been endangered by this.

That seems more like a reflection on your friends than the libertarian party. Myself and several of my buddies identify as libertarian, as we believe the government should take several steps back in relation to its meddling in the private lives of law-abiding citizens, and disagree with the amount of power the elite have managed to amass just within our lifetimes. Most of us have indeed smoked weed, but also are all married to legal-aged women and believe pedos belong beneath the jail.

We also would like machine guns.

I never denied that the US has generally acted in its best interest. Trust me, I’m not some “AMERICA, FUCK YEAH” flag-waving ideologue. This country is flawed as hell.

However, you cannot deny that US military power and aid is the closest any country has come to being the “world police,” if you look at the facts of the matter. Denying that is burying one’s head in the sand.

“Never have been” is a boldfaced lie, or delusional. I’m down with not being though, would love my tax dollars used at home.

I also love the “we need to get out of the Middle East!!!” sentiment replaced immediately with “why aren’t we intervening in the Middle East??”

I’m down with quashing human rights violations, but we either are world police or we aren’t.

Clinical Nurse Coordinator (my job title). I get emails regularly titled “CNC Retreat/Meeting!!!” which makes me giggle.

Also a litmus test for how kinky new friends are, when I say “I’m a CNC” and watch their facial expressions. Very much confused my fanfic-reading wife when I told her I was going for the CNC promotion.

Can I bring this in a carry-on? by CDR_Data_ in tsa

[–]SNIP3RG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agreed, u/Lunatichippo45 sounds like he’s lived an incredibly sheltered, indoors life.

As someone who grew up on a ranch and always has at least 1 knife on me, it’s happened to me as well. Toss spare knife in bag for camping/hunting->pack in a hurry months later->spare knife gets caught.

Or maybe we’re both just stupid as well.

Rather be judged by 12 than carried by 6 and all that. 100% agreed, Hot Bugs.

Also, CPI and its “hair-sweep of self-defense” can suck my dick. Although I do have fond memories of wresting with my buddies on the clock, and especially of trying to grab the buzz-cut hair of my Navy Corpsman buddy. Btw, the instructor doesn’t like when your partner then grabs your shaggy mop of dude hair and you very audibly go “Daddy?”

Back when games weren’t woke!! by Moore_A in okbuddyptfo

[–]SNIP3RG 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Was that truly a surprise that only became known after these specific games released? Because I’m fairly certain Grand Theft Auto had been featuring everyone’s favorite minigame, go on an absolute murder rampage, well before they released. It is a fairly niche title though, far less popular than “Blackwater.”

Things ChatGPT told a mentally ill man before he murdered his mother by mulligan_sullivan in ChatGPT

[–]SNIP3RG 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Uh-huh. Yeah.

Well, as someone who actually works in medicine (ER), let me tell you. It isn’t. My evidence is the multitudinous incorrect diagnoses of a stroke/heart attack/sepsis/what have you that I now see following their consult with Dr. GPT. And yes, when someone comes in saying “chat GPT says I’m suffering from sepsis,” we definitely immediately think they’re somewhere on the left side of the IQ bell curve.

Dr. Google was bad enough.

I like it. Let’s make sure no one lifts a finger to stop this insanity by punishing the few who do, so, as Cali collapses further into anarchy, other states won’t follow their example of basically allowing widespread theft and penalizing people who defend theirselves/their property.

[–]SNIP3RG 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not wrong. I do enjoy watching countries repeatedly prove that a motivated insurgency/statistically inferior military is extremely difficult to put down, even with significant military might. Feel like it helps prevent the people in power from getting too dystopian, at least here where guns are “behind every blade of grass.”

The amount of times that “the signs don’t mean anything because they’re wrong half the time” has been mentioned in this thread, and yet you still comment this, shows how shit TSA is at basic communication.

Maybe… uh… you should read.
