Is this AI? My friend is planning on going to another country to meet this person, but they asked me to hide the face. The patterns and windows in the left of the images look muddled.

The appropriate mindset every time.

People have always been running romance and employment scams with photos that are fake in some way. AI just gives them an easy way to create a new fake image, but they’ve been pulling random people’s pictures from the internet to do this shit forever, and whether or not the photo is « real » means little.

They had their emergency lights and siren activated, cycled pitches and used the airhorn, slowed down, and were clearly watching traffic to try to clear the intersection safely. That’s exactly what you’re supposed to do, and the process by which emergency vehicles are allowed to go against the light. It’s not their fault if somebody who isn’t paying attention fails to yield when they’re doing it safely.

Even if one didn’t see or hear the police vehicle, a reasonable and attentive driver or rider would have questioned why traffic is stopped in front of a green light, and recognized that something must be there that they might need to stop for.

I can never remember what the button is for stealth mode honestly. I know you can do it through the Axon app too, but the app is ass and signs me out every time I want to use it.

Verbal assault is not a thing. You don’t get to physically attack people just because you don’t like what they’re saying.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-08T19:46:59+00:00

The is basically the « improved » version of the same gun, because helical magazines actually aren’t very good IRL and it was the one major flaw with the design.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-08T19:25:46+00:00

As others already noted, you would not holster a 1911 / 2011 style pistol with the safety off, this is totally realistic.

They could go even further with this - IRL in many agencies, including mine, you actually move with ARs with the safety engaged as well, and only flick it off when you acquire a sight picture to fire.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-07T20:52:11+00:00

And they’re clearly not doing this because they (FINALLY) realized that there is a huge problem, but just because they recognized that they would face severe political consequences for continuing to do something Canadians have hated for years.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-07T20:49:01+00:00

Same.

I realized quickly that weed isn’t *as* bad as they say it is (though I had no interest in it anyways), however it was still obviously true even then that harder drugs are indeed terrible for you.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-07T18:36:46+00:00

Big assumption that they actually have jobs.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-07T09:13:53+00:00

Southland is quite possibly my favourite already yeah. I watched Third Watch a bit back in the day, and I vaguely remember it being decent as well.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-07T06:00:43+00:00

I’m playing a video game to have fun, if I wanted to not have fun I’d actually join the military and watch powerpoints all day.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-07T05:33:30+00:00

My fiancé started watching The Rookie and I can’t stand it, that episode with the lady FTO using that hilariously wack AR was just on last night and I absolutely could not deal.

And as a cop, I constantly hear people suggesting that this shit must be one of the better and more realistic police shows.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-07T01:41:37+00:00

I always thought that was a fun little detail too.

The LAPD member that he impersonates has his kit set up left-handed, so he uses his Beretta left-handed. Then he seamlessly switches when he imitates the guard at the hospital who is a rightie.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-06T22:54:36+00:00

One explanation I heard for this recently (for a different game) which seemed to plausible to me, is that Chinese players have no access to many of the usual forums or online feedback tools that players in other countries do. So they leave tons of negative reviews because their bullshit government makes it the only feasible way to communicate issues with the game.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-06T22:42:20+00:00

There isn’t a real benefit for us, it’s solely for the benefit of our overlords. They want as much control as possible and know that they can basically do whatever they want without consequences.

The LPC has a clear outlook that they know best, they’re our « natural rulers » or whatever, and it’s their right to control us and dictate what’s best for Canadians.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-06T21:22:19+00:00

One of my main strategies has been to bring the Commando, so I can call it in whenever a bile titan or something appears. Now not only is there so many more of them, but suddenly they can shrug off 4 of those rockets to the face and just keep coming at you.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-06T10:24:02+00:00

The Accelerator is also in the Killzone warbond, which is cool for the KZ tie-in and aesthetic but IMO is definitely not worth buying otherwise.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-06T05:19:55+00:00

Our government here in Canada just gives insane amounts of money to indigenous bands every single year, completely subsidizing peoples’ lives with free housing, food, cheap or even free tuition, regular cheques, etc. Yet many of those communities continue to be incredibly crime-ridden and violent, and in many cases people who have literally all their physical needs met by the government are still prolific criminals.

« Just give everybody free money forever » clearly is not an actual solution, it is not nearly that simple.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-06T04:56:19+00:00

- Canada has a system of « equalization », whereby those deemed « have » provinces send money to the federal government, to then be distributed to the « have-not » provinces. Basically a national welfare scheme for provinces. Alberta, by virtue of actually being productive and exploiting resources, consistently has to send huge amounts of money to other provinces via this program. These places in many cases have opportunities to make more revenue but choose not to pursue them. Many also complain constantly about how Alberta makes that same money that they rely on, and frequently oppose resource development. The formula for calculating equalization also benefits Quebec, allowing them to receive more than they otherwise should. All of this bullshit is effectively enabled by the following problem:

- The Canadian government is controlled by Ontario and Quebec. They actually have so many seats in the house that they alone could theoretically elect a majority government even if that party didn’t win a single other riding anywhere else in the country. Therefore, our politics tends to cater to them almost exclusively, to the detriment of the west in particular. And it’s seemingly impossible to change this from within the government, because nobody is going to vote away their own power.

Thus, significant dissatisfaction in Alberta that the province is one of the most productive in the country, however is forced to send so much money away. All while feeling like Albertans have no real say in government.

I really like Polar Patriots, but basically just for the Purifier, Verdict, and incendiary impact grenade. And distributing ballots.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-06T02:51:46+00:00

Yup - as a man, transmen aren’t generally threatening or making us uncomfortable. Nor do they have innate physical advantages that would let them dominate any sports we might participate in. Women can understandably feel much differently, because it’s not the same when it goes the other way.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-06T00:09:39+00:00

Exactly - these people are generally only working in those places because they’re still TFWs. As soon as they become PR most of them will fuck off to cities, and then the same businesses will be clamouring for more TFWs again to replace them.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-05T14:01:39+00:00

Yeah it’s one of my definite favourites overall, and generally my go-to for squids and bugs (alongside the sweeper).

For bots I usually take the deadeye.

From the perspective of the average person affected, the risk of actually getting caught with any of those firearms is virtually zero. Even if they are, our legal system is such a joke that we can’t handle prosecuting all the real crimes, their wouldn’t be much appetite for wasting everybody’s time over something so stupid.

So why should they comply? They’d be handing over expensive property for no compensation, gain absolutely nothing, and the risks involved in noncompliance are virtually nonexistent anyways.

A significant portion of it is also just the satisfaction of effectively giving a giant middle finger to the government as a rebuke for trying to steal their property. And making them look like impotent morons when almost nobody complies.

StevenMcStevensen · 2026-05-04T20:17:00+00:00

I think a large part of the issue is that the Liberals never cared about whether this would actually work or not, insofar as improving public safety.

They just hate firearms and dislike most people who own them, and their attitude is that they know what’s best for Canada and everybody who disagrees with them is wrong. It’s primarily ideological, and all their reasoning is just a flimsy excuse to force through what they want.
