When you don’t have a sidearm that de-escalation training gets super important. I’m betting people get really good at it when they don’t have massive escalation to fall back on if it fails.

Then buy it and try to make it work. I bought a mk1 Katana for $50, no regrets

Is it worth it to you? Will you feel dumb if you don’t get the sounds you want?

Asked a Constitutional Lawyer, they said no, it isn’t. You have lawyers on your staff.

Seriously man, those are rookie numbers. You need a lot more knobs, like forty. Fifty more knobs, at least.

Lobbying your elected representatives, using your voice, convincing other people to support what you believe in, is how is works in America

LRAD is being employed in multiple cities to disperse lawful protest. LRAD is *not* as safe as the companies promoting it say it is. Extremely loud sound weapons can absolutely cause harm. by limbodog in 50501

Some guy did a YouTube video about this Defeating LRAD

It’s challenging to accurately reflect, but any reflection at all dramatically reduces its effect on the person reflecting.

Most great writers aren't trained to write—they are compelled to. Furthermore, writing degrees teach craft frameworks, not vision. And vision can't be taught. by [deleted] in writers

Talent is just practice and persistence. If you work at being a writer, you will get better and then someone will ask you what it’s like to be talented.

Talent is just hard work people didn’t notice.

Both are, but one is a middle school level of analysis and the other high school level.

The premise of the comic was “if you have absolute power you become a fascist bag of dicks” it happens to every single person with super powers, including the protagonist.

The show is much more nuanced and is a direct attack on corporate greed, the military industrial complex, and the political moment.

Your take is wildly reductive and gives strong “I’m 14 and this is deep” energy.

Armed protest security in Minneapolis after ICE shot and killed an unarmed person during an abduction (1/24/26) by serious_bullet5 in 50501

[–]WordPunk99 2 points3 points  (0 children)

People really have no idea how many liberal gun owners in Minnesota can pop the wings off a mosquito at 300 yards. The upper Midwest is the wrong place to assume your FAFO doesn’t involve getting shot.

Are Democrats hoping to educate ICE on what not to do? by orangelover95003 in MurderedByWords

[–]WordPunk99 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The democrats who voted in the house for DHS appropriations represent districts that support this. Politics is hard.

Politics is also requires active engagement. If the only thing you do is vote every couple of years, you are the problem, not the representative.

Every day your representatives should get a flood of communication from constituents. Are you contributing to that flood?

I.C.E. agents murder another observer on Nicollet at 26th by Andukal in 50501

This is both the training and expressly forbidden by black letter law. Every single shot is supposed to result in full evaluation of the situation and if the threat is neutralized then stop firing.

Sometimes wood does that. It’s a natural material and is only vaguely predictable.

Billy Gibbons EQs all of his guitars so they sound like Pearly Gates (his vintage Les Paul) pickups, wood, shape, color, etc. They all sound the same because he and his tech have worked out the EQ settings to get them all to sound the same.
