It’s the fear or apathy of the asshole to retaliate. I could be on a bus, and there could be an asshole playing music without headphones. Saying something could come with verbal abuse at the least and could end in a physical altercation with or without weapons at worst. As the annoyed passerby, is confronting the asshole worth the effort and risk for quiet?
I love calling people out when I can, but you gotta pick your battles.
Idk, I feel better with Kirk dead. Also, he can’t keep spreading his hate to millions, so that’s better too. Political violence doesn’t always makes things better, but sometimes it does, and I think a lack of Trump would be a good thing.
Hand guns are difficult to be accurate with if you’ve never shot one, and still not easy if you have. Nobody is going to fire one for the first time and be good at it, but within 10-15’ the difference is probably just if the shot was lethal or not. Anything with a longer barrel like a shotgun or rifle, as long as you’re pointing in the general direction it’s as simple as pulling the trigger. The recoil is easier to deal with and it’s easier to aim. Loading could take a second to figure out, but that’s something that can be worked out before ever pulling the trigger.
I think the fact that most school shootings don’t end up with dozens of kills is because it’s not super easy to be skilled with all aspects of a firearm, but it’s easy enough for quick damage.
I’m not thrilled that it came to the point that someone had to get shot to make the world a better place. I would have preferred it if Kirk changed his tune or just disappeared into the nothing. Instead, he continued to spread hateful rhetoric that has directly lead to others getting hurt or having their freedoms taken away. The world was immediately a better place the moment that bullet hit. I have empathy for those close to and that loved Kirk and are mourning his loss, but that’s met with the cautious optimism I have that those two kids have a chance at a better future.
Not you specifically, but this is pretty much the exact thing that I’ve seen non Americans calling for for months. Calls for why are Americans aren’t doing something about our Trump problem. Now when someone pulls the trigger and a domino falls, people around the world are clutching their pearls.
I’m not calling for violent action, but I’m also not going to look a gift horse in the mouth. When life gives you fascists, you make fertilizer.
If you could go back in time or have someone else do it and kill young adult Hitler, would you do it or condone that action?
Unfortunately, most places in the US are at will employment, so it doesn’t really matter what was said, if an employer wants you gone, even if it’s due to outside pressures, they just have to say the word.
This user has a hardon for thinking everything is an American coup or that somehow all bad world events are thanks to American imperialism. Bring your tin foil hat.
Maybe if there were precedent, you’d have a point. This ain’t Russia. Nobody is looking to escalate with them and would prefer if they just stayed in their own borders.
While I don’t discount this as a possibility, I think it’s more likely that someone was done with the rhetoric and took actions into their own hands. The alleged writing on the casings also has precedent (see United Health CEO).
With the info released showing where they think the shot came from, that’s not a difficult shot to make. I’m not a gun guy, but my brother has a .30-06, same as reported for this, and I helped him dial in his scope at 200 yards. In 4 shots my grouping was within a couple inches, and that’s the first time I ever fired that rifle. If someone practiced, hitting a target that wasn’t moving from the assumed distance is completely viable.
I’d love if this came out and proved to be a false flag operation, where the shooter is a conservative ordered to make the hit from this administration. I don’t think it will, but on top of an already winning situation, that would be the cherry on top.
I don’t know that duped is the right word. There’s no way the people that voted for him didn’t know he is the man that he is.
I’ll throw out a “fucking kill me” or an “I’d rather be dead” now and again, but I’ve never contemplated suicide. Context is key. I won’t say something like that around a truly bad situation, but if I get a paper cut, I may suggest that taking my life is a better situation. I don’t do it often and it’s only around people that know me well enough to know that I have a dark sense of humor and that I’m not serious.
The Powerball is upto 1.7 billion, so someone could be incredibly lucky and wealthy off a $2 ticket purchase. But otherwise, yea it’s hard to earn extreme wealth without climbing on the backs of others.
I’m curious how many questions one could have about gay sex. There’s oral, which his gender agnostic, and anal, which is also gender agnostic. Is Tuck Tuck trying to get advice on how to properly prep himself for butt stuff? Everything else is the same as hetero, just maybe more facial hair and you can’t stick it in the front side.
She may also see that her constituents really want a list and that giving them something will be her best odds of reelection.
I forgot the Sidewalk is a thing. While that tech does kind of do what OP was saying, Sidewalk is limited to only Amazon Sidewalk compatible devices, like the echo line and ring. Just at a quick glance, there are no smart TVs that can connect to that network.
That said, it is an opt out service, which it awful. No smart TVs will connect, but I’d recommend disabling for anyone that uses Amazon devices.
This should be such an easy win for anyone running for office. Most people are super not thrilled with Israel right now. Highlighting not taking Israel bribe money resonates with almost anyone that matters. Some people won’t see it as a positive, but they are the super minority and weren’t going to probably vote for a Dem anyways.
They never should have capitulated to begin with. Target is a place I don’t know that I’ll ever shop at again because of this. Idk if there’s anything they could do now to get me to come back, short of removing everybody tangentially related to the choice to suck Trump’s dick instead of sticking up for minority rights, both trans and DEI as a whole.
Anyone or any organization that didn’t fight and just caved under pressure, or made a performative action of “fighting” is dead to me. It’s always been an excuse to be shitty, not because they had to do anything. Hell, the likes of NPR that rely almost entirely on government funding didn’t bend the knee at the possible expense of their existence. It really makes these other entities look real fascist.
Yea, this paragraph feels like fear mongering. I’m not saying OP didn’t see that somewhere, but from a tech standpoint, the TV still has to authenticate with any device it’s trying to piggy back off the wifi for. Perhaps if there were any open network in range it could theoretically happen, but I’m guessing that it’s not.
I do remember reading that some smart TV was able to use the speakers as a mic to record in room audio and pass that out if connected. It may have been a theoretical thing but it might have been a zero day I read about. It’s been some years now.
I haven’t played a FF game in years, but grew up playing them. At least up through FF10, the stories were compelling. The turn based game play is slow, and I get not enjoying that, but I liked the writing the most.
But look how many brown and brown tangent people he’s hurting. Can’t make an omelette without raping children cracking some eggs.

They’ve been hearing for something for a while and if not Kirk it would be something else. I don’t think that this will actually amount to much more than this weird nationalistic response to the death of a YouTuber.
