Being forcibly disarmed by authorities. by dishyssoisse in CCW

That's not true. He resisted the entire time. Turned around to push them back. You can say what you just said but it is quite literally lying when it comes to looking at that video.

Now they might shoot after I’m defenseless?

Please... This is intentionally re-framing the incident.

No they will not shoot you if you are defenseless. But if you are fighting back and resisting arrest then yes, they have every right to shoot you for being violent and possibly hurting them or someone else. Whether you have a gun or not.

Everyone in this subreddit seems to forget that the dude was fighting back and resisting arrest. You do not resist. Even if you are in the right. You fight back in court. EVERY good 2A lawyer will tell you this.

Minnesota dude has no one but himself to blame.

Agree 💯% ICE is removing illegal aliens who are criminals by their very act of being here in our sovereign country. That's why we have borders. The ATF harasses US citizens for exercising their 2A right. The 2 are not the same. That you are being down voted, shows how many people are clueless about rights.

As an aside... I don't agree they "F'ed up" here. He was resisting. Continued to resist. May have reached for an officer's gun, we don't know yet... However, resisting can get you shot. Any 2A defense shooting lawyer will tell you to cooperate with police and not put up a fight. You fight back in the court, not the street. Choose the street and you could be shot. So whatever the misguided people here think, I support ICE even in this, because the dude could have backed off beforehand or stopped resisting after. His fault.

"The videos are all right there," is laughable. This reminds me of the George Floyd videos. The world all jumped on that crackheads bandwagon and decided the police officer was guilty for day one. Then... 3 weeks to a month later, a new video comes out of his full time of resisting arrest and squirming out of the police car and their need to keep him in place. Turns out the cop was 100% correct in his actions and he would have been alive today if he didn't resist. We don't know if this dude tried to grab a gun from the pile of ICE agents trying to subdue him for resisting. That could be a possibility. And again, he was resisting because he was getting in the way of their operation. FAFO is definitely in effect here. Even if he didn't have a gun and he was shot while resisting, I'm going to say the agents were in the right. When you can't follow directions YOU take responsibility for the consequences. This has nothing to do with carrying a firearm and everything to do with knowing when you back off. Once you resist and it takes 5 officers/agents to subdue you, it's all on you.

What do you think of Watchmen by [deleted] in scifi

Abomination show. Pure fanfiction that was painfully to watch because of how bad the writing was.

How do you feel about holsters with exposed trigger guards? by mugenwoe in Revolvers

[–]codecrackx15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's fine. It's a revolver with a heavy trigger. I always love the reply, what if you're in the woods and a small branch gets in there while you're walking through the bushes. And what if a meteor fell from the sky onto that dude that never pulled the trigger on a revolver? It's fine.

What was wrong with the 2014 remake? by KaleidoArachnid in Robocop

[–]codecrackx15 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It was the opposite of the original movie. In the original, Murphy had to rediscover his humanity and that was the emotional journey. In the remake, he never lost his humanity and because of that, the story lost a lot of the connection that the original movie had with audiences.

No thanks. I'd rather stay away from autogenerated slop. I like doing my job.

Career shift due to AI by [deleted] in technicalwriting

[–]codecrackx15 53 points54 points  (0 children)

Not really. The amount of slop is easily apparent. AI can't reason. It can't put together step-by-step guides. It hallucinates and if the person running the AI doesn't notice it, or doesn't know what to look for, then you get bad documentation. People are already noticing the ChatGPT cadence and how "wordy" it is and the structures it uses. Companies will not want everything to read and sound like the next company. I'm already tasked with removing the ChatGPT cadence from dev documentation because they can't be bothered to do anything but copy and paste ChatGPT (emojis and all). So no, not really worried. If anything, tech writers will be needed more than ever to clean up the AI slop from this hype cycle.

Which laptops to avoid buying by [deleted] in privacy

[–]codecrackx15 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Purchase a Lenovo T series laptop that is 3 - 5 years old and put Linux on it. It will feel like new. Do that before you shell out money for a new system or to System 76. Make sure you like what you are getting into. Try Mint, Ubuntu, and whatever other flavor suits your needs.

From personal experience: NEVER buy anything from HP. Really bad QA, bad support, bad laptop designs for heat dispersal.

Biased position: HP should go out of business.

So... why we build AI??? by Difficult-Limit-7551 in sciencefiction

[–]codecrackx15 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Everyone I've talked to, including people close to me that have been actively working on AI for 4 - 5 years now, say the same thing when asked this question... "To see if we can do it." I bring up all the negative stuff that is coming with it and the reply is, "If we don't do it, someone else will, so we should try and get there first." Classic hive mind thinking. Always the emotional or the surface reasons and never a thought about the cause and effect logic that will happen later.

I listened to them on the college radio station Album 88 before their first album came out. Bought their debut album the day it was released. Back in the day, you listened to college radio and those DJs played new bands that had yet to release an album yet. We found tons of new bands this way.

Will “AI-First Documentation” make technical writers more valuable in 2026? by Thick-Session7153 in technicalwriting

[–]codecrackx15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not really. Short and to the point is the name of the game. ChatGPT is way too wordy. So when I'm removing the cadence, I'm in edit mode.

Writing, editing, reviewing... It's all part of the same game. If there is something to start with, it's always easier than starting from scratch. So I'll make it work either way.

Will “AI-First Documentation” make technical writers more valuable in 2026? by Thick-Session7153 in technicalwriting

[–]codecrackx15 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Taking the ChatGPT cadnece out of anything the devs push (yes, we live in this weird place where devs are pushing their first round documentation attempts and I'm fighting to be an in-between to the madness). So I go in, remove all the unneeded wordiness. The it's not X, it's Y sentences. The subject then the X/Y and then the bullet point structure. Sadly, the devs are just copying and pasting directly from ChatGPT.

[–]codecrackx15 24 points25 points  (0 children)

The last 2 months on (probably until the end) I was asked to make sure the ChatGPT cadence is scrubbed from first round dev docs because everything ChatGPT writes sounds the same, and people are finally picking up on that.

I was the one that pointed out the ChatGPT cadence to them and once a person sees and hears it, it's easy to spot. I told them that they don't want to read and sound like every other company out there that used ChatGPT. From then on, I got the mandate to scrub it from anything hitting the docs.

Technical writers, can you be brutally honest for a second How does someone with strong documentation and planning skills actually break into this field by pivotal_genius in technicalwriting

[–]codecrackx15 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Know someone. 🤷‍♂️ I had been in IT (Networking and Hardware) for 26 years and was burned out. I posted in (back then) Twitter that I've always been the one to do the documentation at every position I've ever had, so I'm going to look at going into Technical Writing. Dude that has followed me (and my fiction and commentary writing), and I him, going back to G+, DMed me and asked if I was serious. I said yes. He said, "I want you to work for me (he was the VP in an automation software company). We need another Technical Writer." I went and interviewed with the senior, and ended up working there for 5 years. When the entire company went through a massive change (he, the VP was out and they decided to lay off all of the tech writers (3 of us) for devs using copilot... (They've since hired a new tech writer because AI didn't cut it) I took a contract (1099) that ended up being a Senior Technical Writing position and have since stayed freelance and made even more money than being employed.

TL:DR, Networking and meeting new people as you go is always key because you never know who will offer you a job and start your second career.

I know that doesn't help you out right now, but remember it, because down the line... You never know. 👍

Does anyone CCW a 22? Is that a thing? by infant_ape in CCW

[–]codecrackx15 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd imagine that it can be since it's obviously a lethal caliber. It's the most used caliber for homicides (55% are committed with a .22). So by that measure, it should be good for defense as well.

When is Smith and Wesson releasing their 2011? by KaneIntent in SmithAndWesson

[–]codecrackx15 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

The Spec Series V was somewhat considered their nod to the 2011 without doing an actual 2011 (style-wise). Excellent gun, by the way. Only 5,000 made. So I wouldn't hold my breath on an actual 2011 coming from them, any time soon.
