Arya Thinking

Thanks. Yeah, I agree- text can come across in different ways to different people. I hadn't taken it as an insult/personally; likewise, none of my comments were intended to be taken as such. I'm openminded on the proposition that 2A was mainly about about overthrowing tyranny- I've mostly considered the overthrowing tyranny part as a bonus side feature component- as in, "mainly 'civil defense,' but also...," rather than it being the inverse or solely about the prevention of the gov't turning tyrannical. Either way, my opinion there is (for lack of a better description at the moment) "not something I'm married to."

@ThinkWithMe @RussianMonk37 @Lunethyst_VT @DocStrangelove2 But you know more than a lot of folks I encounter on here who don't even know about those guns. As a fellow 2A advocate, no hate on that comment but text can make stuff sound more harsh. Especially when it's limited in length

What if I told you that an anti-gun org actually filmed out this very scenario and it's just as stupid as you are possibly imagining.

@ArminNavabi If the regime proceeds to arm loyalists, the clear exploit is that much of the anti-regime should simply pretend to be loyalists- they'll receive the same weapons.

🚨 URGENT: The Islamic Republic is now broadcasting gun training on State TV! The regime is actively instructing pro-regime civilians on how to use firearms, laying the groundwork to arm loyalists to shoot and suppress anti-regime Iranians in the event of an uprising. This unprecedented and desperate move reveals two critical pieces of intelligence about the regime's current mindset, based on internal data they possess that we don't: 1. They believe an uprising is imminent. The regime’s actions telegraph their internal intelligence. By rushing to publicly prepare and arm loyalist civilians, they are showing their hand: they fear a major uprising is rapidly approaching. 2. Their official forces are severely weakened. The regime no longer believes it can suppress a massive revolt using its official security apparatus alone. Following the severe damage to their military and suppression capabilities from recent events, including Operation Epic Fury and sustained strikes by the US and Israel, their infrastructure is fractured. If you were wondering whether recent military and economic pressure actually damaged the regime's ability to crack down on its own people, here is your answer. Going on national television to publicly encourage civilians to take up arms against their neighbors is a glaring act of desperation. It proves the Islamic Republic knows it is currently too weak to survive the next wave of protests with its traditional forces. Please share to spread awareness. The world needs to understand exactly what the regime is preparing for and just how fragile their hold on power has become.

@GrandpaBuckyVT @RussianMonk37 @Lunethyst_VT @DocStrangelove2 * I will watch your videos sometime...

x.com/ThinkWithMe/st… Oh, hey. I watch your videos sometime... So, I already knew all that. I'm also honestly not trying to be arrogant when I say this, but if I had to put money on the line, I'd bet I've done more research than you; I'm also a 2A advocate and think it should be less restrictive- I was just roughly describing how it works. The puckle gun was very rare and not used by the US military (or any military)- it was considered a defensive weapon (intended to prevent ship boarding; as in, anti-pirates), not an offensive/military weapon. It was similarly accepted as "civil defense" against pirates for commercial/civilian ships to have cannons at that time, which I suppose people have described as "war ships."

I've had relationships where I've gone all out and in that department, and some where I just didn't care and didn't even try- my data shows mixed results... I'm in an analyzing mood, so if I were to analyze all this, he's not wrong on the surface, but it also kind of depends on other factors- not sure it can be [roughly] generalized. First, it'd depend on how much effort it take you to get off a specific woman, since that varies by woman who she's with. It also depends on if the guy gets more enjoyment from getting off a woman/women (e.g. likes getting an ego boost from compliments and such), compared to the requisite effort. Lastly, I think the ROI can also depend on how much a woman genuinely likes you, how much/often she wants you to get her off, and whether or not that has an impact more broadly on how you're treated- if she's likes you a lot and/or doesn't care much for getting off (or gets a lot of satisfaction from getting you off), she probably won't care if you're being selfish with effort. TL;DR: effort & perceived value metrics vary (plus capability/efficiency), so resulting ROIs will vary, along with being subjective.

Clavicular says he doesn’t think it’s important for a woman to have an org*sm because there isn’t a good “Return on Investment” 💀 “it’s not important… the amount of extra effort that’s required to do that is just not gonna have much ROI…”

@RussianMonk37 @Lunethyst_VT @DocStrangelove2 The legal core is what was meant by "arms" when the amendment was written. At that time, it meant commonly used civil defense weapons.

@RussianMonk37 @Lunethyst_VT @DocStrangelove2 The 2nd amendment was about civil defense. It limits the general public to civilian weapons commonly used for that purpose, as in, if a weapon is commonly accepted as such. That's why, broadly speaking, civilians can't own automatic weapons or military ordinances (missiles, etc).

@RussianMonk37 @Lunethyst_VT @DocStrangelove2 It's also why opponents try to refer to some civilian rifles as "weapons of war"- it's to try to sway the views of the general public, such that a super-majority no longer consider it "civilian." So then, it can be banned, and the ban would pass a constitutionality test.

@TansuYegen What's innovative about spandex or spandex blends? I also already have golf pants I bought years ago with a zipper like that in the hip pocket.

China moved from chips to clothing, showing brand new fabrics that could flip the whole fashion world, with one company revealing a design built to change how clothes feel work every day 🧵

what are you fighting for?

Yeah, but no one goes, "Oh, wow, look at that [not actually innovative] 'cost option,' [that appears innovative] that I'll probably rarely, if ever, use- we can no longer ignore Chinese cars now." That was kind of my broader point- it may look innovative- it's not that innovative- it's just more fake innovation.

@ThinkWithMe @MarioNawfal If it's a cost option, then I get it. But if it's standard, who cares ? My car has sidelights, I never use them, they're either off or on dip beam. Lots of cars have cruise control and A/C but many drivers don't use them. And don't get me started on mirrors and indicators !

🇨🇳 Chinese car tech is getting harder to dismiss. The West spent decades laughing at Chinese cars. That era is over.

@HarryKover92766 @MarioNawfal Also, I seem to remember these types of hydraulics existing in cars in the US going back to the 90s- maybe China will make one bounce too!

@HarryKover92766 @MarioNawfal I'm referring to the feature, which is clearly what's getting attention.

I chose Spanish because, for the careers I had in mind, it wouldn't have made a difference which language I chose to study, to be honest. I would have chosen Japanese, even if the teacher or courses were rumored to be more challenging, because Spanish just feels more mundane or not as interesting- I think it would have kept my attention more.

For high school, I attended a small, private, college preparatory high school. We had to choose 3 years of either Spanish, French, or Russian. As far as I know, Russian is an extremely rare offering for high school; though, it was only offered because the History teacher could already speak Russian when he was hired. We could also optionally take 2 years of one language and 2 years of a different one, or even optionally take 4 years of one language instead of 3 years. Most people took Spanish because the Spanish teacher was nicer and more lenient than the French and Russian teachers, haha. I would have totally chosen Japanese if it were offered though!

僕は日本人なので、日本語が第一言語です。そして、多くの日本人は第二言語として、英語を学んでいます🇯🇵🥰 そこで、アメリカ人に質問があります。アメリカ人は第二言語として、どんな言語を学んでいますか？🇺🇸🤭

@misfitpatriot_ Obviously, more facts could surface, but this is all we have right now, that I'm aware of, anyway- just that one guy's personal testimony, which may or may not be accurate. Who knows.

"Fighting words" is a very narrow concept these days, less so a 100 yrs ago, & even less 200 yrs ago. It's very rarely ever used in convictions. I think you have to basically be up-close & yelling personal insults directly into someone's face, while that person is clearly very agitated, while also lacing your tirade w/violent threats, such that **ANY REASONABLE PERSON** would also fight you bc of it (and btw, slurs are explicitly not considered "fighting words"). The TN law you're citing notes in subsection (e).(1) if the person tries to disengage but the other person "nevertheless continues or attempts to continue" using force, then it's unlawful force, which nullifies "fighting words" regardless. "Chud" said the guy asked him to walk away from him, and "Chud" walked away from the guy, but the guy walked back up to him, threatened him & began "wailing" on him (and btw, I'm not a fan of the "Chud" guy or anything- I'm just pointing out the law in context here). For "fighting words" historical references- 1800s example: calling someone a liar, coward, drunkard, etc. provoked them to dueling- that's the reason for the law- it was to prevent duels, basically. 1942 example: Chaplinsky v. New Hampshire- in a public square, a guy called a city marshal "a God damned racketeer" & "damned Fascist," & the guy was prosecuted. He appealed & the conviction was upheld. TL;DR: You're wrong.

Chud the builder did accomplish something today, but many won’t realize it until he’s streaming from inside of a prison cell. A lot of streamers will soon start thinking twice before acting like fucking retards on the internet for clicks.

I literally said I have seen such things- as a separate example, I've seen awful things posted by leftists related to political violence (e.g. cheering it on or subtly showing approval/encouragement for more of it), but I don't believe leftists in general are sociopaths who want ppl on the right to die. I also believe it's likely some of them are just being "edgy," but Idk (or at least, one would hope).

@ThinkWithMe @gummibear737 Sigh, again, you haven't watched the videos posted by IDF soldiers and the sociopathic West Bank settlers of their own atrocities. No one can force tp look, so I guess that's how things will stand.

actually what we MUST do is turn our backs on subversive retards cosplaying as both communist revolutionaries AND islamofascists not sure if there is a better example of a useful idiot than this faux champagne-socialist tankie living his best nepo life while shilling for jihadists

@MatteButShiny @MarioNawfal Oh, I see you do BJJ- I assume one of the things they [probably] taught you is to NOT fight an aggressor, if avoidable, for just such reasons.

Well, that's part of the concern with the guy saying he has PTSD. Size would also be a factor- if the guy's 5ft nothing and 125lbs, I think Chud's toast. If the guy's sizeable, there could be cause for concern. The thing is, in a real fight with someone you don't know (as opposed to a "fight" with a friend or ex-friend), you just don't know what kind of person you're fighting or if they have a weapon & wouldn't hesitate to use it. Younger guys have actually died from getting KO'ed by punch & hitting their head on a curb or by someone going way too far after they're already "done," given up, and conceded the fight. TBI is a real thing that can cause problems for the rest of someone's life. "Old school" was with honor on both sides (1-on-1, no going overboard, no weapons, & afterwards, ppl shake hands, walk away, & that's the end of it all), but you just can't trust that anymore- if you do & you're wrong just once, you can really get messed up for the rest of your life or even lose your life (also, higher odds for either of those the older you get, btw).
