@X9_redux Ill never think its even remotely funny to see little innocent children getting killed

Im sorry I laugh every time I see that dude trying to escape earth's gravity.

@Rebels_Raiders Jokes on you, I already failed to make it. Total freedom

I got “robbed” at Venice Beach last week A homeless guy shuffled up to me with a shopping cart and a cracked lighter “Got anything for me?” he said I looked him dead in the eyes “Brøther… do you even have your bolt carrier group properly staked?” He froze I could see it immediately… no castle nut awareness, no gas system understanding, just vibes I stepped closer “Listen carefully. If you’re running an AR, you do not cheap out on the BCG. Proper staking matters. If that gas key walks, your rifle is a paperweight.” He blinked I continued “And don’t even think about running some janky setup. Low profile gas block. Free float handguard. Get something from Bravo Company Manufacturing. Not bargain bin stuff from Palmetto State Armory.” When he tried to speak to the contrary I held up a finger “No. You’re just under informed.” He stood there perplexed, blathering to himself about CIA mind control. I turned back to him “Also dry fire. Every day. Pistol fundamentals. Trigger control. Sight picture. You don’t need ammo to get better, you need discipline.” He slowly nodded You could see it… the transformation Clarity Purpose I leaned in one last time “And don’t buy Holosun.” He dropped the lighter “Thank you,” he whispered He pushed his cart away, a changed man Sometimes it’s not about giving people money Sometimes it’s about giving them standards

@planefag @ArmoredNorman Lol @ 5 dollar bills. Feels like it sometimes.

Normally I'd say that I don't see much point in "zero how you shoot" given that eliminating human factor as much as possible is always going to make life easier, but given you have a rifle chambered for five dollar bills, your use-cases are demonstrably different; for you, barrel harmonics, recoil characteristics and other things that would be different when clamped in a rest as opposed to on the bags and your shoulder may well make a difference.

... so it turns out getting a proper bench rest really does speed up zeroing. yeehaw

@planefag @ArmoredNorman I saw your other replies, I agree with obtaining the closest thing to what mechanical accuracy would be. For my purposes this is basically what a bipod and rear bag give me. For example, this is a prone group from years ago. In no way a reflection of my skill, just a good barrel

@planefag @ArmoredNorman Ill use a gamechanger bag in the rear, and whatever bipod MDT/Harris/B&T all work. Sometimes ill zero on tripod. Just saying i think there is something to be said for zeroing the way you shoot. Even take a composite of all the different positions into account.

@planefag I zero how I shoot. Bipod and rear bag, bag on a barricade etc.

@ArmoredNorman @planefag Bipod and rear bag works fine

@planefag well yeah bro fr, or just parking it really cleanly on sandbags. I pitty the fool who tries to zero from a bipod.

@DoomerTapes @IterIntellectus My wife and I did the same, except he would not fall asleep for more than 3-4 hours straight for the first year. I dont regret it. But they dont always just go to sleep, some of them just want to be awake lol

@IterIntellectus Our 10 week old sleeps 6-8 hours every night -feed baby -swaddle tight -hold baby while bouncing on exercise ball until she falls asleep -hold for 3-5 more minutes -put her in crib It is literally that simple

"sleep training" a newborn means letting a defenseless baby scream for its mother in the dark until it's either exhausted or has given up on life. the attachment literature is clear that before 6 months, a baby crying with nobody coming learns exactly one thing, that calling for help doesn't work and you even have parents bragging about how they tortured their kid into an 8h sleep you need to attend to every need of your child. they don't have a prefrontal cortex able to understand what's happening. if you love them and care for them, they'll barely cry, and when they do there's a clear reason you can address right away

Granted, he looks like he was created by a 4chaner trying to make the most racist soyjak imaginable, but... It's a real photo, man. That's your boy, your beautiful fundamentalist inbred baby boy.

I'm not saying the Iranians are the good guys But the Israelis, man. Erasing entire cities. Calling it "Operation Eternal Darkness." Celebration of genocide, prisoner torture and rape. It's like they're consciously going for being the all time bad guys of history and fiction.

@treblewoe Reads like a stable genius to me

imagine the looks JD and Melania give each other. Biden was better than this.

@TommyTucker091 @AcademicAgent_X If the same voice isn't also speaking against israel, its code

@AcademicAgent_X People need to stop being so schizo in thinking any voice against Iran is code. It's not.

Tons of lost votes from this boomer post, I can see in the replies. Perhaps trying to get anywhere with rightoids is futile.

@MikeVonsteuben @Yzy_Shits Its not a problem if your barrel doesn't get as hot as a suppressor lol belt fed problems

@Yzy_Shits Didn't think it'd be that bad. Welp. I was wrong.

Update: don't paint the barrel of your L6.

@zarathustra5150 But but but, the border is secure!!!! Crossings are down!!!!

I’d happily look the other way on Trump’s self-immolating idiocy in Iran if he’d actually delivered on his promises, had the midterms locked up, the economy booming, mass deportations roaring, and wasn’t threatening to hand the Democrats the keys in 2028. But sadly, he hasn’t.

@MorgothsReview Really hard hitting, perceptive analysis coming from you lately. Trump is an unpredictable boomer zio cuck. We know. Starmer is a globalist libtard hellbent on browning England and locks you up for noticing. What a vast improvement.

It’s absurd to expect European countries to adhere to American strategies when those strategies under the ludicrous Trump regime change day to day. I get the contempt for Libtards like Starmer or Ursula, but even they need a coherent plan beyond schizophrenic truth social posts

@ScaarAT Left all day. Counterstrike

Left or Right? Work from a distance or get close?

@VikingRobVWO Where does that put the stoner lmg? Closed and open bolt, mag or belt fed.

Since my post from yesterday is full of valid points about machine guns from an industry vs legal vs operational perspective, I think we should draft a petition on definition. A machine gun should be described as: - open bolt design - belt fed - same or larger caliber than a standard issue automatic rifle for military - fired from the prone position w/bipod or mounted on vehicle That should clarify the scary "machine gun" narrative that gun grabbers throw around for every automatic pistol and rifle in existence. Feel free to add, subtract, or revise your own criteria in comments.

@9mmsmg I hate the bitch, whoever she is.

When I was 19, I dated a girl I met in an IRC chat (God, I feel old). We had mutual friends and hit it off immediately. After a couple of days of chatting, I asked her out to dinner. She was an interesting and really bright girl. We had a nice dinner, making each other laugh the entire time. There were no awkward silences, but at the same time nothing felt forced. Everything just flowed naturally. We went back to my apartment and ended up getting a little drunk. Well, I got a little drunk. She blacked out entirely, passed out on my couch, and I went to bed. I remember thinking how weird it was that she would get that drunk that fast with a stranger. I ignored it. I was young and dumb, and this girl seemed perfect outside of that one incident. We got more serious, spending all of our free time together. Things were going great, but the drinking quickly became a glaring issue. We would go out and she would show up already drunk. Every day it got worse. One night she wanted to go to a Red Sox game, and we were kicked out after about ten minutes because she was stumbling around and falling. She was so obliterated that I had to get us a hotel room at the Buckminster by Fenway. After a couple of hours of drifting in and out of consciousness, she asked me where we were. She did not even remember meeting up with me. I will spare you the boring details of the next few months, but it was more of the same. We had a lot of fun, constantly interrupted by bursts of alcohol induced insanity on her part. I guess when you are 20, stuff like that does not bother you the way it would when you are more mature. Something had to give, and it did. We were headed to a friend's party in Detroit. A group of us rented a van and road tripped up. There was a big concert at the same time, and the lousy hotel we stayed at was packed with people our age who were partying hard. We were not in the best shape ourselves. My friends and I were pretty drunk, which meant she was even worse. I woke up to my friend shaking me in bed. He said she was in some stranger's room hooking up and that I needed to handle it. I have not always been as jovial as I am today. I knocked on the door, and there she was, struggling to get dressed. I got into a fight with the guy she was with and pulled her out of the room. I had never been cheated on before, and I was about to explode, but I somehow managed to stay calm enough to make it through the night. The next morning, before checkout, she was explaining her actions while I burned holes through her with my eyes. I just wanted to get home. Then she said something I will never forget. She told me it was not her fault because she had what she called "sexual amnesia." That was it. That did it. I asked her to grab us some food from a pizza place for the road and then we would leave. Instead, I told my friends she was staying in Detroit. I left her there with no money, her clothes packed in the back of the van. I did not say a word. I just left. She came from a poor family who were not much help in getting her back home. She called me five days later, begging me to Western Union her some money. I was not kind in my response. I am paraphrasing here, but I told her I was sure she could find someone at a truck stop and pay them the only way she knew how. Many years later, I looked her up on Facebook. I figured she would have died by then. Instead, I found out she had gotten sober, gone back to school, and was working in rocket propulsion at an aerospace firm. She was married to a guy ten years her senior, and he was a stay at home dad. She had really turned her life around. These are the moments you look back on as an adult and feel happy for the person. You forgive them and view it from a place of understanding instead of anger. Not me. Screw that pig. I wish I had left her even further away.
