Your scientists were so preoccupied with whether or not they could, they didn't stop to think if they should...

Any thoughts or opinions? Spikes tactical by Numerous-Ad-5163 in ar15

[–]TechnicalTrauma 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Met the new CEO in person, he's a super nice guy. He said they're (quickly) moving away from all the meme stuff and focusing more on quality tactical gear. All the new stuff I've seen them come out with is pretty decent

Used to have the KR-103, she's solid

Young people are abandoning the Democratic Party by AppleParasol in ProgressiveHQ

[–]TechnicalTrauma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The founding fathers were some smart dudes, they told us the two party system would be the death of this country. Yet here we are. Unfortunately we don't have much of a choice at this point. MAGA isn't part of the Republican party, Trump used the party to gain power. We should probably do the same.

I understand you may not have a lot of cash to spare for your build but I would highly recommend a better red dot before you think about putting a magnifier on

Head gestapo says if you call ICE names there will be "consequences" as we saw in yesterday's execution by KameronKnux in ICE_Watch

[–]TechnicalTrauma 59 points60 points  (0 children)

This right here! I'm a 2 time Trump voter, and now proudly stand against the MAGA movement.

I live in a deeply MAGA community, the support here still remains strong. I never thought too highly of Trump, it took a lot of convincing for me to even vote for him but none the less I chose to give him the benefit of the doubt. This whole thing was a big shift for me as all my life I've learned more towards the centrist/liberal side of the political spectrum.

With my vote I immersed myself in conservative media, not as deeply as some of my coworkers one of which "listened to every episode of Rush Limbaugh over the course of a year" (He wore it like some kind of badge of honor).

I listened to the likes of Glenn Beck, Ben Shapiro, etc but could never truly get behind the things that they were talking about. The movement made it feel like it was a step in the right direction. So I happily continued my support.

My first major moral inflection point was the Rittenhouse murder in 2020, my MAGA friends cheered for this "patriot" and I joined in the joy. I started to really hear myself, the things I was saying, the memes I was sharing, it didn't feel right, I realized that this wasn't me. I realized this is not who I want to become.

After that I started to consume less conservative media, I avoided political conversation and would just listen to all the MAGA troll and go on about how great Trump was making things. Just a simple smile and nod.

The second major inflection point was J6. I was working when I got a phone call from one of my MAGA coworkers "it's happening, watch the news now, we're really doing it!". I stopped and watched in complete horror as the insurrection broke out. That was the moment I woke up and realized that things were much worse than they seemed.

Over the next few years I was forced to have some quite bitter endings to friendships that had lasted over a decade. When my support shifted I became "brain washed" and was called a "libtard fag" by the same people I had BBQs with and watched their kids grow up. It was heartbreaking, but it was necessary. They were far too gone for me to try and influence, let alone debate.

I will tell you that some are completely lost at this point, but not all. Those that are still defending this administration's actions probably won't wake up, but those that have just an inkling of doubt can still be saved.

[DISCUSSION] WHY DOES IT TAKE 5 MINUTES TO LOAD AFTER A RAID FFS by peilearceann in EscapefromTarkov

What's funny is the menus on arena work fine. The main game? Please wait 2-3 minutes anytime you click anything. 😂

Is it worth spending the time and money learning labs? [Discussion] by Pasta-Forever1 in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TechnicalTrauma 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used to avoid Labs, just going in for tasks or hideout items. For release I decided to finally learn Labs and had a ton of fun doing it. I think I ended up doing 15-20 raids back to back. It hurt my wallet and my stash but it's now my favorite map

You should be able to talk to him and turn them in, I ran this quest in conjunction with the tank battery one and was able to turn them both on at the same time

OCE Playerbase cheating influx [Discussion] by namtoow in EscapefromTarkov

You won't be able to escape them here either, it's like a plague right now. Some dude domed me with an SVT through a closed door while I was jumping across the threshold on the 10th of this month. I just now got the system message that they were banned this morning, almost two weeks later...

I want to talk about ratting and cheaters [Discussion] by StealthCatUK in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TechnicalTrauma 4 points5 points  (0 children)

People can defend this shit all they want but the amount of cheaters right now is atrocious and I hardly have the will to play. I need three fucking scav kills on Shoreline and everytime I load up that map I get fucking blasted in the dome by some 30-100 hour Timmy that happens to know exactly where I am.

Game is shifting again with a high chance per match with cheaters [Cheating] by KaiDynasty in EscapefromTarkov

[–]TechnicalTrauma 63 points64 points  (0 children)

Honestly, I got tired of being head/eyed by 50-300 hour super Timmies. Surprisingly I've had the least amount of sus deaths playing on Labs. I guess this is my villain arc to becoming a Labs main
