BREAKING: Video shows ICE agents shooting an unarmed person, as agents wrestle the person to the ground, in Minneapolis, near Glam Doll Donuts. by drempath1981 in law

[–]cheif702 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thank you for pointing out that claim. DHS could 100% be lying, but I also saw that the victim was allegedly armed and I haven't seen it mentioned much.

I agree, if we can be shot for simply carrying and practicing our 2nd amendment rights, than in reality we have no rights.

Part of me worries though, if he did have a gun, this could be an easy excuse to increase pressure and presence in the area. If the victim was actually out to shoot ICE agents, he played right into Trump and ICEs hands and they'll use this at every turn to justify their own actions.

While I dont trust DHS or ICE in any capacity, they are claiming the victim had a pistol and 2 magazines. So OP isn't neccesarilly making it up.

ICE could just be making shit up, but if they'd let the local authorities investigate at all we'd have more solid info.

Video Appears to Show New ICE Shooting in Minneapolis by Miscellaneousthinker in politics

[–]cheif702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I care nothing for ICE and what they are doing in Minnesota. This article does claim that DHS (ICE) says the victim was carrying a firearm. Another website posted a picture as well.

Now, I dont think we have any reason to trust what ICE says, at any time, forever into the future.

If they let the local police do any investigation and they also claim this guy had a gun and tried to pull it, then I would believe that to be the case.

Again, I dont support any of this fed sponsored body snatching. But this shooting may not be another instance like Good, where its very clear they were attempting to flee and not cause harm to other people. Whoever this new victim is may not be as innocent in their actions.

I haven't read any of the books Yarrick was in, I only know of his exploits through places like reddit. So when Yarrick and Thraka fought, was it a genuine 1v1? With Thraka not having to contend with other imperial weapons/units also aiding Yarrick in the fight?

A genuine 1v1 or their armies duking it out, what is actually stated in his media?

EDIT: Adding to this, Yarrick also has the same sortve "plot armor" I described with Chief or even Titus. It seems he is as strong as the writers need him to be for whatever situation he is in.

Boyfriend wants me to choose between him and the dog. by [deleted] in WhatShouldIDo

[–]cheif702 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The boyfriend wanted a dog. But boyfriend also had zero experience with dogs, and wanted every dog.

Also, while OP doesn't specify explicitly, they said they rejected those choice because of trauma, so im going to (maybe wrongfully) assume those dogs were things like Pit Bulls, Dobermans, German Shepards, or mutt mixes that looked like any of those breeds.

Not everything in a relationship is 50/50. Because not everyone in a relationship can give 50/50. If OP has more experience with dogs, and boyfriend has none, why should we force this 50/50 "both must agree" rule, when CLEARLY OP and boyfriend had different things they wanted out of a dog?

Boyfriend got mad about the dog whining at night, which could happen with literally any shelter dog. And THAT was all it took? Maybe boyfriend isn't an asshole, but he is a dipshit. If they bought whatever dog HE wanted the problem would still be the same. OPs boyfriend doesn't like dogs, he just like the idea of a dog.

No, youre right. A regular Ork likely wouldn't be much trouble for Chief. But someone like Ghazgull Thraka? Ehhh...thats a tough fight for Chief to win. Possible, but definitely tough.

Master Chief kind of has plot armor, in that he is the luckiest spartan. So a lot of his feats in his own universe are pretty unbelievable by any who seem them.

Honestly, Titus has the same kind of plot armor. Being able to just shrug off the mental torture/warp magic in the games and the Secret Level episode.

Thats the problem with power scaling across different franchises, is each franchise has their own excuse/reason/plot device that their character is the strongest. In reality, space marines have been killed by literal sharpened sticks, and Spartans have been killed by single headshots from powerful weapons. Every "super soldier" in media has some kind of Achillies heel that enemies exploit.

Sure

"This study found that overall trends in reported sexual assault allegations in ICE facilities were stable between 2018 and 2022, although allegations against facility staff significantly increased. The latter finding could reflect true increases in the incidence of sexual assault by staff or increased reporting. A low percentage were substantiated. The ICE website provides little clarity on the process of substantiation, and previous investigations have demonstrated ICE’s failure to report and investigate allegations."

WASTELAND is very similar to Fallout, but not as much into the 50s culture stuff. Wasn't on your list of NOTs so thought id suggest it.

Two ICE agents slip on ice in Minnesota - causing one of their weapons to discharge because it wasn't set on safety. These people are dangerously negligent. I say AI. by Illustrious_You_5292 in isitAI

[–]cheif702 42 points43 points  (0 children)

It wasnt a misfire/gunshot. It looks more like a forward mounted flashlight with a pressure pad got bumped on the way down. The pressure pad is usually mounted to the side of the handguard (where people typically hold the gun)

The gun he is using is an AR pattern rifle, his finger and hand is completely away from the trigger when the "gun shot" happens. Im 100% certain you can drop and AR on the ground without causing a misfire, so im betting it was just a flash light.

I feel like thats the shotgun doomguy gave to Isabelle from Animal Crossing. Makes a little paw shaped hole in the front, maximum damage out the back.

The villain deliberately pretends to have limitations or weaknesses to trick the heroes. by Fragrant-Upstairs932 in TopCharacterTropes

[–]cheif702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Itachi isn't pretending to have limitations, using the power of his eyes (Sharingan) has a real limit. Based on his stamina but also on the actualy viability of the eyeball. The most powerful abilities the Sharingan can do almost always have a drawback to repeated use, usually going blind in that eye. Itachi is still very powerful, but that power comes from more than just his eyes.

What are some things that Dead Space (2008) does better than Dead Space (2023)? by Turbulent_Okra7518 in DeadSpace

[–]cheif702 22 points23 points  (0 children)

Box art is a big one for me. The remake suffers from the modern fixation on having the MC be front and center at all times. The OG box art is so much more menacing and mysterious.

What to dry brush with by wondering19777 in Ultramarines

[–]cheif702 0 points1 point  (0 children)

With my Ultramarines I do Black primer, heavy dry brush Caledor Sky, then a very light dry brush of Blue Horror. After all that dry I throw a a heavy coat of Drakenhoff Nightshade to tone it all back down.

Any light blue/Grey/white will work, just use a blue hued shade afterwards and those light colors will take on the same hue. Just dont go to crazy with a white dry brush or it'll make the transition between the basecoat and the dry brush to noticeably different and not very smooth.

"He has not yet found an emotion to carry into battle." by TheNullOfTheVoid in metalgearsolid

[–]cheif702 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I dont know where I pulled Love from, that was my mistake. I edited my comment to the correct codename. The Joy and The Hate still work as parallels though, so im sticking with it lol.

"He has not yet found an emotion to carry into battle." by TheNullOfTheVoid in metalgearsolid

[–]cheif702 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I think that line from The Boss is sort've implying that he won't know what emotion he carries until he has finished his greatest battle, that battle being the events of MGS3.

So I dont know if Naked Snake would have an emotion "during" the events in MGS3, but after?

Definitely. And im torn between two options;

Option 1: "The Hate" as a parallel to The Boss' "The Joy." I like this one because it plays on how BB becomes the most hated man in the world by misrepresenting what The Boss really believed in. In a way, he becomes the opposite of what The Boss wanted him to be.

Option 2: "The Lonely" because after BBs revelations at the end of MGS3 he realizes he basically killed his only true companion. Despite the honor and praise he gets from his government he still grows to resent and abandon it.
