This. Everyone should know how to remove the magazine from a gun, check that there is no bullet in the chamber and to remove the bullet if there is, and put the gun on safety. Even if you swore an oath of non-violence you should know how to do that.

Average Senate Confirmatino Hearing:

Democratic Senator: "In a contract you wrote with the devil which you signed in your own blood in front of six hundred and sixty six witnesses you said you would murder all the minorities. Do you still believe that?"

Fascist: "No"

Democrat Senator: "Awesome you have my vote."

Maybe getting a reminder of how utterly dangerous and unpredictable their big brother is snapped them out of their xenophobic idiocy.

No he's doing a farcical Nazi Privatization, more or less.

I don't make predictions anymore.

But will this make shifting trade towards China, Europe, Brazil, and India appealing? Americans can't afford to pay these costs. Idk whats' going to happen.

It's so farcical that they expect anyone to give a shit about this.

Phantom Liberty is the core of my thesis that Cyberpunk is not Cyberpunk at all.

I cannot fathom how it is even possible to sew for 30 hours straight without a break. Even at twenty years old. That just seems impossible. I'm not doubting it happened I just don't understand how.

yeh people complained about minecraft having no end game for so long that when Notch finally added a final boss it was in a dimension called The End.

 

I'd never really seen it all laid out nearly like the author does int hair article.

 

Greetings Comrades. today's update is just one item. Going forward "llm" text generators will be referred to as KKKlocks that Lie.

 

Edit: I got a better look at the surveillance video. Looks like what is actually happening is that the guy's gun is under-gassed. The rounds aren't producing enough energy to fully cycle the weapon, resulting in jams or requiring him to manually chamber the next round. There goes the professional international assassin theory, I'd think a professional would test their set up to make sure everything was adjusted to cycle properly.

The way these are set up - When you fire a normal semi-auto pistol the energy from the shot pushes the slide back so the gun can chamber a new round. You can then fire again immediately.

With these things the slide is locked closed when you fire. That means the slide doesn't move, which means it doesn't make noise. All the gas goes out the barrel through the suppressor. The brass stays in the chamber.

All of this combines, with the right silencer and ammo, to make a gun that is ridiculouslly bad action movie quiet. If you're standing right next to it you'll hear something but it's not going to sound like a gunshot.

Idk what the hell is going on here but it sure does look like some cool John Wick level shit.

 

There's an uncomfortable comfort in shitposting through the coolzone again after all these years. And yeah, I do kinda want to see some kid micro-ing a few hundred drones through an air-defense network.

 

This is specific to America bc it looks like there are labor fights going on in Canda, France, Worst Korea, and maybe some other places over rail contracts right now.

Someone was saying "Biden pushed back and blah blah blah railworker contracts" and being the shitty little hate fueled imp I am I went try to find out what happened. Well wouldn't you fucking know it, the rail workers who are most in need of improved working conditions, the people who actually operate the trains, haven't agreed to shit?

It's confusing as fuck trying to sort through shitty Google links and labor hostile/company friendly press. This little tidbit, that the people who absolutely need better working conditions don't have them and don't have an agreement to get them, was hidden in the fine print if it's mentioned at all. If anyone who is more familiar with this can check my work and confirm that my basic thesis;

  • Railway companies gave contracts to the people who are not critical to the operation of each individual train, but have not made a deal with people who must be on the train for the train to operate

is mostly correct?

Funny enough, the Trots at WSWS seem to have the best reporting but I can't really use that with anyone who doesn't already speak Maoist Standard English. The most recent article on the US rail labor contracts I can find dates to ~November 13, where it looks like all the papers bought one AP or Reuters release and each re-formatted it for their own websites. Nothing really since then unless there's a secret labor journal I don't know about.

For context Libs on Bsky are passing aroudn this fascists shithead's bullshit book "On Tyranny" as a manual for "resisting authoritarianism" THE CALL IS COMING FROM INSIDE THE HOUSE YOU LIBERAL SHITWIPES!

 

Don't normalize the regime! Don't normalize the regime! Don't normalize the regime!

What's his example of things people normalized? State surveillance? Violence against undocumented people? The Muslim ban? Assassinating protestors? No. NO NO NO NO.

What does he use>?

FUCKING RUSSIAGATE!!!

This man is being upheld all over bsky as some kind of fucking "authoritarianism" whisperer and he's a complete fucking hack. Some absolutely fucking arcane nonesense made up bullshit that is NOT ACTIONABLE. People can't do shit if the POTUS wants to get information from the fucking FSB. It's not in the scope of their lives.

"do not obey in advance" do not fucking obey what? Do not obey the president called Vlad to get drinks? How do you do not obey that? Fuck this fucker. Nothing about resisting the cops, nothing about immigration, nothing about security and surveillance, nothing about anything that fucking matters! FUCKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK

This is exactly, exactly, why I made this fucking thing

Fuck. FUCK LIBERALS FUCK THEM FUFASKLFGEJ:FJKL:ASEFGJHK:ESFpaerwuipa fufkcing liberal scum collaborator vichy shitstain fucking fucks they're going to stay home eat brunch and sell out eveyrone fuckadjkgfa;lkdsgj fuckckckckckk!

This man is a fucking menace,. Yes we'll just ask the fascist militarized police and genocidal imperialist military to practice mindfulness and just not do fascism please idfk this is so bad. This is so fucking bad this is so bad. I guess on the plus side this only has like ~10k views so no one is actually seeing this shit but god damn.

And he's still whining about j6. What a fucking loser.

 

There's a lot of text in this one so I'm going to do the main body here instead of alt text

Orrr... not damn that didn't save. Sorry. I'm burned out right now if anyone could do the alt text for this I'd appreciate the assist.

 

She's so cool.

Even if you're a committed pacifist you should know how to check if a gun is loaded, remove the magazine, remove a loaded round from the chamber, and activate the safety.

Regina George is riding a bright pink tank. Emblazoned on the tank is the Hexbear logo and the words "Look at this dope ass bear". Above the tank are written the words "get in loser!" and below that the words "We're developing a pretty basic materialist understanding of history based on reading books that weren't written by anti-communist cold warriors and for some reason that's going to piss everyone off and short circuit their brains".

 

Edit for clarity: I'm not asking why the Tankie/Anarchist grudge exist. I'm curious about what information sources - mentors, friends, books, TV, cultural osmosis, conveys that information to people. Where do individuals encounter this information and how does it become important to them. It's an anthropology question about a contemporary culture rather than a question about the history of leftism.

I've been thinking about this a bit lately. Newly minted Anarchists have to learn to hate Lenin and Stalin and whoever else they have a grudge against. They have to encounter some materials or teacher who teaches them "Yeah these guys, you have to hate these guys and it has to be super-personal like they kicked your dog. You have to be extremely angry about it and treat anyone who doesn't disavow them as though they're literally going to kill you."

Like there's some process of enculturation there, of being brought in to the culture of anarchism, and there's a process where anarchists learn this thing that all (most?) anarchists know and agree on.

Idk, just anthropology brain anthropologying. Cause like if someone or something didn't teach you this why would you care so much?
