Me too. I voted for Palestine. Didn't win.

So what you're saying is no chance..

The storm troops on Endor were not ambushed. They knew the attack was coming. They were fighting from prepared defenses on a fire base. The fact that they were drawn out of the base to fight in the jungle was a lack of judgement on their part. Their whole mission was to protect the shield generator.

We get crappy government by voting for it.

Yep, and our choices are Sideshow Bob or Grandpa Simpson. Vote wisely.

When faced with opposition without plot armour and reasons to keep them alive, Stormtroopers are fucking brutal, as seen in The Empire Strikes Back - Hoth was somewhere between a decisive Imperial victory and an Imperial Curb Stomp

Their shooting was also terrible on Endor. Maybe those were the flunky storm troopers that got put on the imperial guard due to nepotism or corruption?

As a person who's not a young adult anymore I'm not sure how or if it ever was. My young adulthood was full of angst, rumination, poverty, debt, etc. Looking back there were definitely good things that I miss, but I'm in such a massively better financial and mental place these days that I can't imagine going back.

Yeah but he also donated to ActBlue so it sounds like he was a RINO Libtard. Probably a Marco Rubio supporter.

In the arctic standard bear protection is a five shot bolt action 30.06. You'd load them with three FMJs to scare the bear away and two hollow points in case that didn't work.

The truth about predators is they aren't interested in dying for their meals. Prove to them that approaching will be deadly to them and they won't approach. You don't have to kill the entire pack, you just have to kill or wound one, or even just blast some rocks in their path.

There was a time when America could reliably produce assassins who could kill both presidential candidates and even sitting presidents. What the he'll happened? Deindustralization? Too much porn and video games?

Everyone's saying the guy used an AR but given the relatively small number of shots and the fact that the bullets went everywhere except where the guy was presumably aiming my bet is he was a Socialist Rifle Club guy with an SKS.

Man I was just planning on taking up stalking as a challenging new hobby but now they had to go and ruin it by making it too easy.

You'd really want something bigger for hogs and deer. Never known anyone who hunts deer with .223. You really want one of options in thirty caliber.

While I'm sure someone hunts rabbits with a rifle you'd really use a shotgun or a really small rifle for them.

.223 is a good coyote round though. There are better coyote rounds available and there are better coyote rifles in .223.

Ar-15s are potentially ok hunting rifles for large birds and small mammals although there are better options out there.

The main argument I've heard for an AR besides the larp thing is that it's easy to find compatible accessories because it's a popular "open source" common platform.

But honestly any hunter who is serious about hunting with .223 probably has a better gun that they hunt with.

Yeah he banned bump stocks after the Las Vegas shooting, but then the supreme court found in the text of the constitution the part where they say you can't ban bump stocks and reversed it.

Assassin leaves a banana peel in front of Biden.

That's what happened with Reagan.

Funny you should mention that McKinsey published a paper a few months back concluding that GenAI will take over most of the jobs in America because it was good at doing what McKinsey Associates do. Missed by the authors is that the job of a McKinsey associate is to confidently spout nonsense all day long and that's actually exactly what chatgpt is programmed to do.

American Psycho (Sam Altman) and his chorus have been hyping AI and the rest of the world's reaction has ranged from "these guys seem smart and chatgpt is impressive so what do I know?" to "isn't this guy a bitcoin bro?"

I feel like customer support is one place where AI may actually be used going forward because companies don't really care if their customers get support. The only wrinkle is that if companies get held to promises the AI makes (there's that Canada Air incident from last year where the AI offered a refund and the company tried to walk it back).
