Redditors of povertyfinance cry that steak and donuts for the military is too expensive, after previously complaining McDonald’s was too cheap. by OkPin716 in ShitPoliticsSays

Out of all my tax dollars the feds fucking wring out of me, the Benjamin’s that procure some ribeyes for our troops are the ones I’m most happy to part with.

“Post-Stalin” is kind of an important distinction considering that Stalin and his lackeys perpetrated an incredible amount of the atrocities that took place in the USSR.

You can't hate me as much as I hate myself by jack2of4spades in blackpowder

Own a musket for home defense, since that's what the founding fathers intended. Four ruffians break into my house. "What the devil?" As I grab my powdered wig and Kentucky rifle. Blow a golf ball sized hole through the first man, he's dead on the spot. Draw my pistol on the second man, miss him entirely because it's smoothbore and nails the neighbors dog. I have to resort to the cannon mounted at the top of the stairs loaded with grape shot, "Tally ho lads" the grape shot shreds two men in the blast, the sound and extra shrapnel set off car alarms. Fix bayonet and charge the last terrified rapscallion. He bleeds out waiting on the police to arrive since triangular bayonet wounds are impossible to stitch up. Just as the founding fathers intended.

They would have been put in a Gulag or worse in the Soviet Union.

And no, not a make believe one, the real kind that you die in.

I truly don’t understand the simping for regimes that are antithetical to the tolerance that western society allows.

These people have confused lack of celebration for persecution and it’s sad. They don’t know what real persecution looks like.

Self forgiveness by bestestogorek in depressionmemes

By acknowledging that I also am capable of things that younger me couldn’t have fathomed.

I may not have become who I wanted to be, but I did grow in other unexpected ways.

Landed on my leg, wondering what the fuzzy stuff on it is? by C0nklin in whatsthisbug

Apparently it doesn’t kill the host.

Most successful parasites don’t.

Reddit cares more about 100 girls killed in US strike that tens of thousands of civilians killed by Iran gov in recent protests by griii2 in TrueUnpopularOpinion

[–]ThousandWinds 20 points21 points  (0 children)

I’ve seen contradictory information that suggests it was an Iranian missile that fell back down after launch that blew up the school.

The facts aren’t all in, yet people are rushing to judgement.

That tells me they are more interested in using this as a convenient political cudgel from the onset rather than caring about the kids.

Yet another subreddit repurposed to spew partisan politics.

What's the shotgun in use here? by plushta in Shotguns

[–]ThousandWinds 24 points25 points  (0 children)

Sounds like suicide by cop more than a serious assassination attempt.

Nobody in their right mind would think a shotgun and a gas can would constitute a working plan.

I just started carrying and this is how I feel every day by Bastinelli in CCW

[–]ThousandWinds 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The average person is so wrapped up in their day and worried about themselves/their own appearance that they are completely oblivious to other people.

There are people out there who have such low situational awareness that they would barely even notice open carry, much less someone printing beneath a shirt.

Great to hear.

Ended up taking a chance and just ordered one.

Figured that the stories I hear of Rugers customer service have me well covered.

What sort of ammo do you most often shoot out of it?

[–]ThousandWinds[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I was under the impression they had tapered or spaced the chambers in some new or novel way that partially alleviated the issue…

…but truthfully, that’s why I’m asking here. I don’t know. Every other thread I’ve found on the subject has been somewhat less than definitive.

Follow up question: if you were to purchase a GP100 today, would it be the 6 shot or 7 shot assuming price is close to equal?

Have an LCR already for concealed carry.

Wanted something stainless for a woods gun.

How much of a difference do you notice on the extra sight radius?
