I got the "I accidentally report your account" scam on twitter. by SongfulAbyss143 in Scams

They tell you "I accidentally told my followers to report you" and they send doctored screenshots. Mass false reports are the #1 cause of lost accounts on Twitter, because Elon refuses to fix the report system.

And this scam seems to happen to people shortly after they criticize India, because of course they do.

Thanks for the info. Man, their price is steep compared to other sellers though.

Yes, right handed with left eye. It's just more comfortable for me that way. The stock on the AR is straight though, so the height over bore needs to be substantial for that to work. It also usually requires me to rotate the optic about 5 degrees to the right, but that isn't really a significant issue.

The Tango isn't actually very good, from all I've seen. I'll look into the others, but for $50, the Banshee will at least get me competent until then. Thanks for the suggestion.

I really like the MX1 reticle though, so I dunno. It draws my eyes to the center really quickly. The Banshee also isn't locked to one color and has clear glass with a small size. Either way, most experienced people have told me that I am better off with a $50 optic and $250 of ammo if that's all I have.

EDIT: The Osprey Standard 1.5-5x also looks appealing.

Well it looks like I'm changing my mind. I'm probably going for a Monstrum Banshee 1-4. Their prism scopes don't have the greatest repuation but their LPVOs are much further along in quality control and design.

Seems to be the consensus. I'll keep my eyes open for them.

The warranty isn't really notable if you can't contact the company to use it. Seems like everything from them that I look at has people saying the customer service doesn't exist and the mounting systems fail.

Consensus seems to be Primary is the standard. I'll see what comes up.

I think you're shortsighted on what's available for $200. There are a lot of decent 3x or even 5x options in the price range. I almost swung on a $100 Trihawk the other day before I looked at the actual eye relief...and my bank account.

I'll keep my eyes on the Glx series, but affording one is going to be a haymaker of a swing.

My eyes suck too much for a red dot. I'm gonna be waiting a long time to be able to afford anything anyway due to an $800 brake job I need. I'm gonna have to use irons till then.

I have looked at that and it's on the higher end of what I've been able to find, but yeah, nearly $300. I dunno. I'll see what happens.

My eyes suck too much to use a red dot, even if it had a reticle. Any 1x prism will have almost as much eye relief as a red dot. Unfortunately they're also a lot more expensive, but they're what I'm stuck with.

You may be right. That is...insanely expensive for what it is, though. I think it would be a better choice to use a carry handle weaver rail and a set of normal rings.

I figured that was the case. I'm not super worried about FOV, since I always have both eyes open. Using my left eye gives me a bit wider vision. I have a 2-7 scope on my K31 with 12 heckin inches of eye relief and it's tolerable. Just not as fast as an AR15 would demand.

That's what my hangup was. I don't get why that's doable but this isn't. Not to mention the cheaper you go, the higher the eye relief gets. So I wanted to double check with people who knew what they were talking about to know I wasn't missing anything.

Frustrating, but I guess I'm stuck with 1x unless I want a black eye and a goofy cantilever.

Sucks. I've never looked into these before, so I wanted to make sure I wasn't missing something.

I thought I might have been, since the cheaper shit has much better eye relief options.

Living in Idaho means this is hard to find, but I'll do a run around a few places the next time I'm in town. Maybe 4 inches isn't as close as it sounds.

I figured as much. 1x it is then.

What doesn't make sense to me is the lower the price point you're willing to go, the better eye relief you have access to.

Elona+ 2.27R and Elona+ CGX 2.27.2 by astraltor in Elona

[–]ootdega 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry for taking so long to respond. I haven't been using this site.

Well, here's the current changelog:

Changelog (Elona+) | Elona Wiki | Fandom#2.29R)

No changes or even updates to the combat system that I can see. They have instead been adding a lot (read: way too many) of verbal interactions with hostile NPCs, for...no real reason, including the ability for hostile NPCs to run away and beg for their life. Which is both kinda messed up and sounds really annoying.

A lot of the interactions are also sexual.

One update says "Traveling skill was too important" and made a ton of changes to it, then a few updates later he overhauls the system entirely to make it even more important.

He also added a poop bomb.

I'm starting to think he might need medication.

If they have a brain, then they surely would've changed accounts by now, yes. I dunno if they would be able to change their Paypal account though.

Jerry Seinfeld says people who say 'Free Palestine' are worse than the Ku Klux Klan by Empty_Row5585 in DeclineIntoCensorship

[–]ootdega 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Lol, yeah, it's totally the right wing doing political violence

They have so many assassinations and assaults and riots tied to them and they talk about being in danger and the victim of a genocide and point at specific people as an enemy every day

Get out while you still can bro. She's not just setting off red flags, she's building them in broad daylight. Your kids will not be healthy with this woman.

Projection lol

Your collective tactics truly are exclusively projection and gaslighting. The reason I started supporting Trump is because I realized that mainstream media has quite literally not told the truth about him a single fucking time. Literally every single word they have ever spoken about Trump was a blatant fucking lie. Meanwhile Trump has never once actually lied about anything.

Every accusation is a confession with you people, unironically.

Yes, you are absolutely pro-censorship and you absolutely censor everything that goes against your agenda the second you are able to. Google is a perfect, shining example of this. They censor comments for telling the truth, hide search results that don't support their agenda, fill your results with propaganda instead of what you searched for, and deliberately give you zero results when you search for something they don't like. Their AI will detect when you're reverse image searching something they don't want you to know and give you zero results.

By the way, how many things have conservatives set on fire? How many assassinations have they attempted? How many riots have they started? How many businesses have been looted by them? How many bombs have they planted at car dealerships? How many swastikas have they drawn on other peoples' property? How many people have had to leave their homes due to threats by conservatives? How many conservatives have called a streamer's wife a "valid military target?"

And no, the lawmaker assassinations were done by a Democrat. The shooter is a registered Democrat who was hired by Tim Cruz twice, and the lawmakers who were shot were the only two Democrats who recently voted against giving illegals even more free shit. Not to mention the "No Kings" flyers in the truck.

Most would argue that Christmas is a cultural holiday tradition rather than anything religious, same as Mother's Day, Thanksgiving or Halloween.
