  • Android is the first thing I think of when I hear Linux phone

  • It's only Eurocentric in the Western tradition, and even then the names of many stars come from Arabic.

  • I mean, yeah, many celestial bodies take their names from Latin. Like how the proper name of the sun is Sol, which matches solar, the lunar object would be called Luna. Selene feels like a retronym to match other Greek deities, and would be like renaming Earth to Gaia

    either of those options is a fair pick given their oldness

    Luna would definitely rank over Selene in the Western astronomical tradition. As you say, its name is just The Moon, which is what Luna means in many current day Latin derived languages

  • nice whataboutism, still didn't answer the question though

    because they are most certainly not

    lol, lmao even

  • interference in Israel's ability to secure itself

    So we shouldn't interfere then, and let them buy their own weapons with their own money?

  • it’s like you only read half of the comment and raced to post this reply…

    Nice ad hominem, thank you for putting your poor faith on display right away, but no, I was merely just addressing the points as presented.

    the reason why you need more than 5 rifle rounds, IS NOT about stopping power

    So why did they say the rifle needed more than the handgun?

    It’s about giving you more than enough chances to land hits

    So the numbers should be the same then, no?

    Precise shooting in a stressful environment is really fucking hard, your heart is hammering your hands are shaking, you realize this could be the end. All of these factors heavily affect shooting ability in the moment.

    Which is dangerous for anyone nearby.

    you are making a lot of assumptions here, like assuming it’s home defense shooting 556 or the like

    Seems like you're the one making assumptions, champ, all I implied is higher caliber, because I don't think people often refer to .22 carbines as rifles.

    What happens when you’re out in the wilderness and end up in a face off with a bear or a cougar? There are so many complex settings and situations and here you are framing the conversation as if this only applies to defending your bedroom or hallway.

    Okay, so how many shots do you think you need for a bear, or for a cougar? Because even if you're squeezing your trigger as fast as possible, a cougar is gonna be able to finish you before you finish your 30 round mag.

    Not every home defenser has 5.56 or .300blk. Plenty of “assault weapons” that shoot pistol calibers

    oh cute, a nice little strawman to finish with, almost needed a reminder that you were a bad faith actor. Didn't say anything about assault weapons though, scare quotes were cute though, definitely keep that up.

  • If the goal is to stop someone in 5 seconds, why would you need more rounds for the higher caliber rifle? Seems like 5 rifle rounds and 12-15 pistol rounds would be enough stopping power.

    But if your argument is more chances to hit, well then you're just advocating for more rounds going somewhere other than there target, and 30 (high caliber rifle) rounds is certainly too much to fire out your walls willy nilly.

  • Recommendation for decent brand?

  • I never said no one should use it

  • some things mean multiple things

  • Slight correction but the 👌🏻 thing is for white supremacists, which is why you saw the Christchurch shooter doing it in court, and those new friends of Kyle Rittenhouse

  • You know that sleepyness where you literally cannot keep your eyes open and keep dozing off? That's what an opioid overdose is like. If you gave someone a bunch of morphine, they'd fall asleep and soon after stop breathing.

    Some people experience different levels of nausea from different kinds of opioids, so some level of discomfort will exist in some percent of the population without either testing out the different opioids on the prisoner or giving them an anti-nausea drug.

  • Yes, it's everyone's problem, not leftists'

  • It's not leftists' fault there is fascism on the right.
