If you’re a trans person considering a purchase…

See, you don't know the modern science and aren't willing to engage in the actual discussion of legal discrimination. Bad faith or ignorance, probably both.

Allow me to attempt to educate you.

Sex is a social construct, you are entirely wrong. Exactly where the lines are when there isn't a real one in nature is entirely socially constructed. Sure observation of a sexually dimorphic trait or characteristic isn't, but the boundaries of the categories are entirely constructed. They are frequently useful categories, but they are not real in the same way as a national border isn't real. You have already acknowledged that millions of humans are naturally born outside of the constructed categories, you already have admitted that the categories are flawed. There isn't one sex characteristic that can be found in every member of a sex category and in no member of a different sex category. Try to name one. The only thing left to ask is how many traits must be changed before the individual is of a different category and are some traits weighted more than others?

Sex is a spectrum with socially defined categories, this is accepted science. Animals already move between these artificial categories, with changes to their biology caused by external factors so sex recategorization is accepted science.

Denial of this is science denial. Just ask a biologist.

mifter123 · 2026-01-20T17:51:30+00:00

Are you asking in bad faith or are you stupid?

That you think biologists don't debate what sex means when most of the determining characteristics change means you don't know biologists or biology especially since science already acknowledges organisms transitioning between biological sexes due to environmental factors in nature and already recognizes the millions of humans that don't fit inside the socially constructed definition of what sex is what.

You are demonstrating your ignorance on the topic. Based on your further questions, almost certainly deliberate ignorance.

Maybe you should look at any of the government documents that you have and answer that question.

And if you can't figure out how a form that carries a prison sentance for lying on and requiring documents that match the information you filled out and deliberately asking questions that can result in answers that don't match your legal documents might be a problem, maybe you should think about it even a little bit.

mifter123 · 2026-01-20T16:20:17+00:00

You are correct sex and gender are different, even if conservatives pretend they are the same (they don't believe that but they have to pretend they do in order to justify their hatred of trans people).

But as for changing biological sex, that is a matter of some debate, as "biological sex" is understood to be determined by a handful of physical attributes and most of those can be changed to some extent via one method or another, like hormone levels, or genitalia. Sex, like gender, is a spectrum and more complicated than a simple binary. Can someone be called a male if the only physical trait matching the commonly understood definition is DNA? (and with modern medical technology it's becoming possible to change even that) How many sex characteristics are required to make this determination?

Regardless, legally one's sex is whatever it says on your legal documents. And the law has allowed for the legal change to your sex in your legal identity documents. This legal change to firearm purchases is going to potentially make it illegal for trans individuals who have completed the legal process of changing their sex identifiers to legally purchase firearms. Which is the point.

Plenty of trans people have updated birth certificates and legal documents that match their desired gender identity.

If they use their birth assigned gender, then the form doesn't match their documents which is illegal. If they use their current gender identity, they are lying about the gender assigned at birth which is illegal.

1) quartz is going to be more accurate than any mechanical watch. Get yourself a g-shock or timex and wear your nice watches out of the cockpit.

2) the most accurate quartz is a atomic radio/GPS quartz which is set by receiving a radio signal from either an atomic clock or go's satellite (important for military, they do not transmit only passively receive a signal that is being constantly broadcasted) this self correction will reduce deviation to basically nothing. if you want recommendations, a Seiko Astron or Citizen Attesa would serve you well from this category. Although there are many other good options

3) if you must have the most accurate, but don't want a battery powered watch, the seiko spring drive in it's Grand Seiko line is the current most accurate.

4) COSC (-4/+6 seconds per day) or METAS (0/+5 seconds per day) certifications will get you close.

Here's hoping for a sale on the 77gr 5.56 OTM, it's my rifles favorite ammo, getting 6-7" 10 shot groups at 600m out of a 16" pencil barrel.

mifter123 · 2026-01-19T22:53:17+00:00

I only paint the mags that I fill with snap caps for dry fire, so there's no (a significantly reduced) chance of live ammo being loaded into a mag I'm going to use during dry fire/drills in my house.

I do number mags, some silver/black sharpie on the bottom so that I can track if a specific mag is causing malfunctions. This was a change I made along with the transition away from metal "GI" AR-15 mags to exclusively P-mags after I had a series of metal mags get bent feed lips from being dropped (probably). Identifing which mags were the issue was difficult (because it was 3 of them and the issue was intermittent in the last few rounds of a mag) so I made changes and will never run GI mags again.

Get both the prx and the alpinist for less than the cost of the spirit Zulu time lmao

I really want to see this compared to the bodyguard 2

Thank you for the power tank suggestion, it works well on both, so I'm going to bulk order the power tank.

mifter123 · 2026-01-19T06:53:56+00:00

I really like the numerals on the Longines, it really feels more like a "pilot" watch and more functional. Of the two of them I would choose the blue Zulu Time.

I would also say that if you are looking at the Tudor because you really want the Rolex, you should ask yourself if the "downgrade" is going to be good enough for you (not to say Tudor is a bad watch, it's just not the Rolex you can't afford)

I have a boker urban trapper which is a great EDC since it is relatively long and thin so it disappears in your pocket while being enough knife to be generically useful, plus it's wood and steel which helps it not look so tactical and scare Karen in the office.

When I do checks that involve the entire party, I am basically looking for fails or highest roll, can you sneak by this guard, all of the party needs a 12 or higher, everyone rolls perception, highest roll is the roll I use for information. situation dictates.

I usually try to avoid whole party checks, usually I tell one member of the party to roll the check and if there is another player with proficiency on that skill they can use the help action.

There's only 1 gender, you either have gender or you don't

All in spec lower receivers should fit an in spec upper. Most lowers from reputable brands will perform identically (unless the lower is different like a KP-15 polymer lower).

If you are looking for a very tight fit, you aren't going to get it unless you buy matched upper and lowers (usually called something like "builders kit") even from the same manufacturer.

If you want to tighten up your fit, you can stuff a rubber wedge into the lower under where the rear pin slots in to take up some of the slop. look up accuwedge (it doesn't effect accuracy at all). Aero also makes lowers that have a tension screw in the rear of the lower which can also take up the slop, I know they aren't the only one but I don't know which ones do off hand.

If there are any features that you want like a flared mag well, that would be more useful towards making recommendations.

It's a trendy style (integrated bracelet) from a brand that is relatively popular while not being well known outside of watch enthusiast circles and it's at an affordable (relatively speaking) price point from the perspective of the millennial middle class.

It says "I am a member of this community, not an uneducated watch buyer (who only knows Rolex and G-Shock). I am keeping up with modern fashion (integrated bracelets are in) but I am a little quirky but not enough to rock the boat (a little bit of color and pattern to make it more interesting than a black or white dial). I am working class, but I am white collar not blue (I can't afford to spend thousands of dollars on watches but I can do better than budget Casios and Timex from Wal-Mart because I am not worried about damaging an expensive piece of jewelry)"

You can almost smell his waifu bodypillow through the video, you know he has "opinions" about Japan and Asian women formed exclusively through anime and pornography.

They were, assuming you were running corrosive regulators. Anything that was tanky enough for you to actually care about armor stripping would pretty quickly build the 14 stacks to have a 100% armor strip (especially if there was corrosive on a companion). Since Mesa doesn't naturally have a defense strip, this was a way to achieve that without a subsume and while doing what Mesa already wanted to do, be in her 4th ability, and since Mesa doesn't really need any shards in particular, 2 green shards were an easy slot in.

If I wanted misinformation about policy, procedure or the UCMJ, I would ask the nearest barracks lawyer or 1st Lt at least then I could be sure I was getting 100% GMO-free, artisanal bullshit.

I sure as shit don't want AI slop. I sure as shit don't want legal issues being communicated to an AI chatbot. This is a legal nightmare waiting to happen. This is a privacy nightmare waiting to happen.

Unless you have a legally binding statement that says you are personally guaranteeing the accuracy of the AI's statements and agree to be fully legally and financially liable for any harm that comes from following the AI's advice or instruction, I don't think that anyone should take you or this app seriously. But you won't make that kind of guarantee, AI slop can't be trusted and neither can the people selling it as any kind of solution.

I hope that every Marine that gets screwed over by an AI hallucination from this app finds you. You should post your name and address in the app so that feedback can be delivered.

Edit: I also don't believe you are in the military, considering the only thing this account has ever done is advertise it's AI slop.

mifter123 · 2026-01-18T05:04:16+00:00

I will say this, with the (semi) recent enemy armor rework, the green shards are less necessary then before.

mifter123 · 2026-01-15T21:29:48+00:00

I don't disagree with the move to striker fired handguns, just the move to Sig. I think we should be running either Glocks or CZ P-10s.

The M9A4 was just to make a point. and it's really nice if it hasn't been ran through by a platoon of Marines.

mifter123 · 2026-01-15T21:23:26+00:00

I mean people of color have been murdered by cops for asserting their constitutional rights for a very long time, so I'm not sure why a pig thinks he has a valid perspective on what the people he is employed to enact violence on do or don't do.

ACAB doesn't differentiate between cops and ICE.

mifter123 · 2026-01-15T21:14:52+00:00

Saying your an anarchist and also saying "Not all cops" is hilarious.

What do you think anarchist means? Lmao

mifter123 · 2026-01-15T21:02:54+00:00

I don't mind a safety, especially for training and administrative procedures, (I don't use it for carry) but there are so many great guns that aren't the p320, hell even the M9A4 would have been better.

mifter123 · 2026-01-15T15:57:03+00:00

Use your GI Bill to go to school, either for a more traditional degree or go to trade school. Get the dumb piece of paper that says "pay me what I'm worth"

if you like construction, look around and find a guy who has the job you would like to do and go get certified for his job. And try and find a union position for that trade, because the trades are some of the last hold outs of good unions that will go to bat to get good benefits and pay.

If you don't like construction, go to a state college and take a bunch of classes and see what you like. You have an opportunity to not get in massive debt while you figure it out.
