My comment could also be read as rationale supporting a version of that character based on serious horror…

But yes, they’re a joke to me. And yes I’d love to see him as a tribble monster

Dude has a lot of range…

His new horror movie was really good, and he was legitimately scary.

Into the Badlands was still in his main lane but he did an amazing job in that as well. He’s funny, but he doesn’t have to be comic relief.

I fucked up, it’s 6.8mm the military is switching to:

Produced by firearm maker Sig Sauer, the XM7 is intended to replace the M4 carbine in close combat formations, while the XM250 will replace the M249 Squad Automatic Weapon, or SAW. Both new rifles are chambered in 6.8 mm to provide improved range and lethality against enemy body armor.

I’m pretty sure the magazines are the same like 5.56/300blk which means you would just have to swap the upper receiver (including barrel) out.

As far as brands that’s just budget and I don’t stay up to date on what’s the best value

I’m disabled in a way that limits my ability to hold anything heavy, so lighter weight is good.

Literally the reason pistol braces exist.

99.9% use it as a stock to get around SBR laws, so you might have to research which one does the actual job it’s supposed to best. But they were invented so you could literally strap an AR to your arm.

But rather than a rifle I’d say something like the Extar EP9:

https://extarusa.com/ep9/

9mm will be lighter weight and less recoil, and it’s crazy lightweight with a short barrel keeping the weight towards your chest where its easiest.

Takes Glock mags, so you can run 15rounders to be as light as possible, grab a 33 round ruler clip to have more than a standard AR, or go all out and get a fucking drum.

15 in the gun and ruler clips for reloads would be a good plan.

AR-15. With how common they are you can easily find a configuration to your liking and can just as easily find parts and ammo.

People said 5.56 ARs because that’s what military and shtf cops would have…

But military is going to 6.5 6.8mm and that trickles down to cops fast. And the production lines for ammo would go with them. So 5.56 won’t be ‘cheap’ forever, and if things go crazy won’t be all over the place like we thought because it wouldnt be deployed with troops

But the reason we’re moving from 5.56 is it lacks the punch of AKs especially against body armor.

So for a rifle I’d say a generic AK these days. 5 years from now? I’ll probably say a 6.5 6.8mm AR.

Glock 17 or 19

For open/nightstand you can’t beat the classic Beretta. If you want to have what cops/military would have go p320 these days. But 9mm loads into any 9mm magazine, and whatever you’re getting, get a bunch of magazines.

For “waistband” carry tho I’m going to say the new Keltec p15. 15+1 the skinnier than a single stack subcompact, and actually pretty accurate. Pretty much zero chance if “finding” magazines if shit happens, but you should buy in bulk anyways.

The Right works hard every election to get as many of their people to the polls as possible

The Republican party gives Republican voters a candidate they like…

That’s why they always vote.

Bruh. We need a good candidate so we can convince people to vote…

I live in a red state, lots of nonvoters or people that blindly vote R.

I just can’t sell them on a candidate like Hillary/Joe/Kamala, because the main selling point was “not named trump” and that’s not a big enough issue for them on its own.

We know what happens when we run a (relatively) young charismatic candidate with a progressive platform tho, red states all over flip and it carries down ballot races all over.

I don’t think it’ll be an issue now that Martin is chair, but for almost a decade the party has been working against Dem voters and insisting every failure is the fault of voters and the party has been perfect, which only further depresses dem turnout.

Lots of places play loosely with the terminology, but in general:

Refurbished: they wipes the dust off

Recertified: had an issue, was sent back to manufacturer who fixed it and checked everything else.

Past advice was always buy new, but drives last much longer than they used to. And lots of business replace to be safe when a drive could last another decade just fine.

Look at the instance OP is from, it’s not one of the big twitter knockoffs.

If there’s a way to block every twitter knockoff at once I’d love to hear it, but unfortunately I think you just didn’t understand what’s happening and won’t be able to actually help anyone…

You just seem to want an argument

And stop using all those fucking hashtags because it posts to communities.

And stop “@ing” people when you reply to them.

The only reason I clicked this was the hope you all had started realizing this so I’d get to stop blocking you all for the spam.

It’s not complicated but everyone from a twitter knockoff I’ve tried to explain it to, just can’t seem to fucking understand and come up with crazy conspiracies that bots are doing it.

And zero moderation!

It’s basically 4chan and OP keeps begging people to join it

Yeah, waaaay back in the day there was a couple private message boards I was in for stuff like sports.

Nowadays there’s a lot better options for organization, but via one of the big companies which requires accounts and things to happen on their server.

A closed Lemmy server at a discreet address has a lot of advantages compared to a Discord group for example.

I’d never thought of it, but it could be a thing.

Just did as well, I don’t think I’m going to miss anything important

And a day or two ban to cool off fixes that, and communicates that the behavior is unacceptable.

Clearly OP didn’t learn any lessons if a day later they’re making this post.

Yeah, OP was going off on a wild tangent about LSD in a sub about shit talking Teslas…

And the mod explicitly said “this has nothing to do with this sub” and OP kept insulting the mod and asked to be banned.

The mod finally deleted a single comment from OP, and OP is really really upset about it.

I honestly don’t know why the mod didn’t just ban OP, he was literally asking for it
