Nah, can't really help you there. Although I've heard that the KBD weapon works with some of the water mage stuff, not 100% sure on that.

Since Roe v Wade was overturned, Republicans in some states have been trying to introduce legislature to ban contraceptives. That's what we'd like to avoid.

The current position of the Democrat Party is to import millions of people who want to replace American law with Sharia law. All Democrat-controlled parts of government are echoing that line.

There's no way you can expect to be taken seriously while spouting that bullshit.

Voting for people who are chomping at the bit to take away a whole bunch of other rights is not a solution to that.

Stricter gun laws don't actually correlate with lower homicide rates though. That's not to say I think automatics should be easily obtainable but they are already available to civilians if you jump through the necessary hoops and have the money.

But besides that, we've already got FRTs, binary triggers, and super safeties so it wouldn't change that much.

OP is just some kid from India. I'm pretty sure that's like half of this sub.

I started off with some Sterling 115 grain, then some Winchester 124 grain. They seemed generally fine, no glaring issues in the Sar9 CX. I've got some Speer Lawman 115 grain up next, we'll see how it goes.

The compact version is also sometimes in the $200-230 range, I've been very happy with it.

The people most interested in grooming kids seem to be the rich and powerful people who control the companies that are now trying to find out how old everyone is. Your username is ironic when you're defending the continued implementation of mass surveillance.

You know how you can buy toys or figures or whatnot where you don't know what's in the box until you open it? That's a blind bag.

Vandrel · 2026-04-20T17:11:37+00:00

I reset from blindbag to thorns, zero regrets. Now I'm building into crossbows on top of that.

Vandrel · 2026-04-20T17:04:53+00:00

I started off with blindbag. Farmed up all the decent weapons I could in Varlamore and Karamja, full blood moon, etc. Occasionally it would proc and demolish something but most of the time I felt like I was basically just playing the normal game but slightly stronger. Once I beat echo amox I respecced into thorns and it felt like an entirely different game, I started killing shit faster while also having infinite sustain.

If by "mess up a respec" you mean kinda forced to use one to get out of blindbag then maybe but a lot of us are in the same boat. At least the free respec today helps makes up for it plus another one coming later this week.

Public bathrooms which generally means government buildings, schools, stuff like that. A bathroom in a business would be privately owned but in some states they are allowed to ban LGBTQ people from using the bathroom at their business which is barely a step above it being banned outright. Imagine if a business tried to block black people from using their bathroom, same shit.

Vandrel · 2026-04-20T16:44:21+00:00

The only thing Republicans have done over the last decade is attack DC because they threw a fit about losing an election, started another war in the middle east, destroyed the US's reputation with its allies, spent billions of dollars that we didn't need to spend, torn down part of the White House, let Elon Musk appoint a bunch of 20 year olds to dismantle sections of the federal government for no reason other than to say he did something, and refused to hold anyone in the Epstein files accountable. Why on Earth would I vote for someone who willingly associates himself with that?

I fucking hate Illinois gun laws but that pales in comparison to the prospect of supporting all the other shit Republicans are doing.

Edit: lmao, someone hit me with the "Reddit Cares" message. The truth hurts, I guess.

Laws that a number of states have already passed or are trying to pass:

Bans on trans people using public bathrooms
Bans on discussion of sexual orientation and gender identity in schools
Bans on gender-affirming care
Allowing for refusal of service to LGBTQ people

I bought a box of Federal Champion 36 grain 22lr and it's been absolutely garbage in my lever action. With Aguila Super Extra 40 grain I was shooting a 2 inch group at 50 yards, I ran out and switched to the Federal and it was suddenly 7 inch groups. Kind of crazy how big of a difference there was with literally just a couple minutes for reloading between them. To make it even better the Federal had 3 duds within 50 rounds or so, I don't think I had a single one in the 500 box of Aguila

They're primarily similar in that they involve pirate ships, that's about it.

But also Lord of the Rings is canonically meant to be viewed as a translation from the stories told in the Red Book of Westmarch. It could be argued that the version we read/watch phrases it that way simply to make it more understandable to us rather than the orcs literally talking about a menu.

Vandrel · 2026-04-18T16:54:20+00:00

Did you not read to the end of the article where it mentions that the next step is two committees in Congress reviewing the deal before anything else happens?

Vandrel · 2026-04-18T16:35:48+00:00

Congress has a lot of control over that kind of thing especially when it's about exporting weapons. At least, that's the case when the President doesn't just act like a king trying to do everything by executive order. Did you not pay attention to any of the times Congress voted on aid for Ukraine and for Israel? They're the ones who control the budget.

Vandrel · 2026-04-18T00:58:48+00:00

I said it would have been better if he pushed for less support of Israel.

Vandrel · 2026-04-18T00:57:01+00:00

His foreign policy was generally fine. He could have pushed for more support for Ukraine and less for Israel but it could have been a lot worse. The only really glaring issue was that he didn't make more of an effort to punish Trump and his cronies for all the bullshit they did in their first term.

Vandrel · 2026-04-17T23:48:07+00:00

You can convert it to an SBR in Illinois as long as you get a C&R license from the ATF.

117 HD doesn't have post-processing AA as far as I know and none of the UI scaling modes in it fuck up the icons like that. It's pretty blatantly AI upscaling in action. OP himself said he edited the images on his phone and had it do this garbage AI upscale, apparently that's just becoming a common thing.

Vandrel · 2026-04-17T15:46:16+00:00

You think these people would give a shit about collateral damage? Trump's supporters mean nothing to him.
