Trump refuses to say if he wants Ukraine to win the war
  • I'm not y'all, I'm me. And no that was literally whataboutism.

    "[What about the fact that] US has invaded more countries than I care to find a list of."

    Yeah what about it?

    I don't support those invasions and them happening doesn't justify the Russo-Ukrainian invasion. You chose to deflect and then bet about where the money was going, for some reason.

    Trump refuses to say if he wants Ukraine to win the war
  • Nice whataboutism, but I have the perfect counter: I don't support the US and it's history of invading other countries.

    Similarly, I don't support Russia invading Ukraine. I don't gamble so you can continue your "bets", but I'd love to hear how supporting someone who is defending themselves is wrong.

    If someone breaks into your home and you fight for your life, I support you in that endeavor.

    Option B by far.
  • I envy your location that you don't see as many as I do. They are appalling in person. They don't seem real.

    A family member was somewhat interested and complimented the bold design... Then he saw it in person and no longer has anything good to say.

    Despite tech-savvy reputation, Gen Z falls behind in keyboard typing skills
  • If I had to guess, it's because they don't know what it was like before the ads and enshittification.

    Can't long to return to something you never had.

  • That's a shit jeweler just begging for less return customers.

    Ain't gotta make a big deal of it either. Just ask, "Okay so you want, 'No ragrets' engraved?"

    A Cool Guide about 12 myths that movies made us believe
  • Yeah, just pointing out that a suppressor doesn't affect the bullet sound. If it's supersonic, it will still crack.

    The can just gives the explosion (gunshot) time to expand and slow down. I am intimately familiar with this concept and have a nearly silent build myself.

    Edit: sidenote, if you want to shave off a few more decibels from the noise of the shot, add a small amount of material to ablate inside the suppressor. A VERY small amount of water will do in a pinch but petroleum gels are better. I personally recommend a cleaner gel like medical ultrasound gel, very clean and very effective.

    A Cool Guide about 12 myths that movies made us believe
  • I see we're still sharing this guide of misinformation.

    You can aim at two targets. Phone tracing does not take an hour. You can shoot and disable most locks including the one pictured with most calibers that aren't a .22. Grenade pins can be pulled with teeth depending on grenade and whether you're applying tension to the spoon. Gunshot noise is affected by a suppressor, but bullet noise is based on speed, weight, and shape.

    An important update on Concord - Being taken offline September 6th, refunds to be issued
  • Bad marketing, low interest in Overwatch clones after OW2. Some people say diversity pandering but I like to imagine it's that people still remember Sony being a butt with Helldiver's 2.

    I was only gone for a day or two...
  • I'll never not up-lemm Futurama.

    That being said, I think some (most?) were talking about nutritionally complete feed with synthetically created nutrients to fill gaps in a plant-based diet for cats.

    I'd never do it to my kitties because I'm a FiLtHy CaRnIsT, but with proper supervision from a vet it sounds doable. At least not worse than Great Value cat food that's grain forward.

    TL;DR idk why Admins are censoring discussion. This is how things are learned and I thought Lemmy might be a place for that.

    What do you think about the recent LW controversy?
  • Honestly, I'm in complete agreement with you.

    I used to be 100% in the camp of, "cats are obligate carnivores and cannot have a plant-based diet." But IF, and it's a big if, they can get a truly nutritional complete feed with all the taurine and B-whatever they need... Then that's not animal abuse.

    My main gripe is the admin, Rooki, enforcing their will on the community.

    I might get lambasted for this but I think Rogan has a good take on censorship. To summarize his point, the best way to combat wrong information is to challenge it, engage it, and provide good information. Let the correct consensus rise to he top with discussion and evidence. Don't create an echo-chamber that stifles conversation and allows only GoodThink.

    OK Akimbo style is less precise but: "twice the guns, twice the fun" :P
  • Unironically, I've practiced akimbo and it's not terribly effective but... It's not ineffective at getting rounds down range and near target.

    Just like full auto you really can just course correct and put down an oppressive amount of fire semi-accurately. Especially sub 30 yards.
