From what others are saying, the trigger pull is always the same. I'm not familiar with the intricacies of Glocks specifically, but this seems to match with my experience as well.

Awwww I wanted to read the delicious conclusion. Will Hercules finally behead the vile hydra?

Their safeties are the fact that you have to manually pull back the hammer to fire the weapon. Basically impossible to negligently discharge, barring a few that don't have a strike plate between the firing pin and hammer, meaning a strong blow to the hammer can shoot off a chambered round.

Double action revolvers can also typically be operated as a single action, manually cocking the hammer. This also removes the other Xtra weight from the trigger, which was just the force added by having to cock the hammer and rotate the cylinder.

Glocks are, and were already, very popular guns. This means that accessories manufacturers will target their devices at these guns, so they target as large of a market as possible. Thus, more manufacturers are wanting to produce automatic adapting devices for Glocks than other guns.

Bit of a chicken and egg situation, tbh.

First two, yup, if those are what he wants to happen. The others depend on the buyer and Jesus' mood that day.

I mean, movies have existed without sound at all, so yes, I'd classify music as typically not essential, unless the movie is ~about music~. Same with the movies you listed, they're about the character growth and development, not a bigger plotline (I assume,I actually haven't seen them).

In order to tell an effective narrative, certain pieces MUST be there. These are the story. Anything else is fluff, filler, not essential. You can play around with all of that, get something that looks and feels different, but is the same basic story. Remakes and AU style things do that all the time.

As far as the blond, blue eyed thing - I didn't say it was describing the default human. It's describing the default within American pop culture. The default movie hero is, and I'm spitballing here, a 30s-40s straight white dude. And, like or not, American pop culture is world pop culture. America largely defines the trends in pop culture worldwide. I don't think this is a good thing, for the record, but it's also not a crazy statement.

I think we took a wrong turn somewhere.

[-] Ookami38@sh.itjust.works 1 points 4 days ago

Eh, I think we just have different perspectives on things being short horned. In my view, anything that isn't critical information to the story, it's shoehorned in. If you tell me the main characters favorite food is pasta, and then don't do anything with it, it's shoe horned in. If you tell me a character is gay, and then don't do anything they couldn't have done the same with a straight character, changing a couple of pronouns, it's shoehorned in.

To be clear though, I don't think this is a bad thing. A story with only critical information will... Well, it'll work, but it'll be bland. Same if you make all of your characters blond, blue eyed, straight white men. Adding these details tends to be what makes us remember and identify with a character. That doesn't make it any more strictly relevant to the story. Most characters people would view as "diverse" - even the ones people like - fall into this category, i think.

I think a better argument is, if these traits ARE shoehorned in, their alternative "normal" traits would be as well. If you go out of your way to state a character is straight, it's just as shoehorned if everything else is equivalent. Do THOSE characters inspire the same ire? If not, we should examine the why of that specifically.

It's kinda weird to try to include representation without it feeling shoe horned. The world of TES (of any fictional world) is entirely hand-created. There are no accidents, all of it is intentional.

This means that, no matter how it's done, any character deviating from the "norm" was consciously chosen to be so. These things that need representation (disabilities, gender identity, sexuality, race, etc) are all things people don't get to choose, so there's an inherent disconnect between the hand crafted world choosing to include diversity, and the real world necessarily having diversity because of chaos.

Following this thread, there's never been a case of inclusivity, or exclusivity, that isn't shoehorned in. It's always been entirely the will of the author to include or exclude these representations. With that in mind, I think it's only a good thing to see more diverse authors bringing more diverse worlds and characters into existence.

Hey folks.

I've tried to get a filter working for all of the "this is an automated archive" posts from reddit. They're pretty useless to me, as there's very rarely any engagement, and they tend to show up en masse when a community decides to just mass archive from reddit.

I've attempted to set up a keyword filter with "automated" "automated archive" and "this is an automated archive" but with no success. I assume the keyword filters are only looking at the title text, not the description. Is setting a filter like this possible at present time?

Hey folks. Got a pixel 7 pro, and it's been alright, except suddenly, if I press the fingerprint sensor on the lock screen for just a split second, it makes the WHOLE SCREEN go full-brightness, with a green tinge. I know it's always lit up the scanner area, which is all it lights up if I hold the sensor, but if I release it early it's actually very uncomfortable. Any suggestions besides the obvious "don't let go 5head"? Is this an android version bug, a hardware issue? Anyone else had this happen?

Edit: autocorrect

Remember everyone. If you see someone shoplifting from Walmart, no you didn't.

I just moved into a new house, and it has a weird step in the bottom of the closet, that is covered in carpet. I've seen this before, and it could just be coincidence, but is there possibly a weird architecture or design reason for this, or is it just a quirk?
