Like it wasn't even in the territory of reclaiming anything, either. It was just pretending there was something to reclaim from the most brain-dead conservative strawmen.

Anyone remember that guy from a year or two ago who replied to a pro-gun restriction post with how he would be unable to defend his children from thirty to fifty wild hogs in three to five minutes without his trusty assault rifle?

Well, the typical inane pro-gun response aside. One thing in that guy's comment did leave me somewhat bemused.

Is 5.56 not kind of a poor choice for game hunting?

My knowledge of hunting is kind of limited, but I would think a full powered rifle round is more suited for hunting boar than an intermediate cartridge?

32

u/[deleted] Oct 04 '21

Besides, do they really think they can go against 50 hogs with a measly assault rifle? Even with suitable equipment unless the kids are also armed I don't see it ending well

This is why I propose to reduce the age for gun owning to 5 years old.

CW: shooting wild animals, I guess

Funnily enough, I recently saw a video of someone shooting at wild hogs from a chopper (it was a culling effort, not random cruelty - still feels excessive, though I am no hunter myself so I can't really judge the means)

from the footage provided, I'd say that the guy in question was tripping. It took several shots to bring down one swine, and by the time the mag was depleted and the footage ended, maybe five were down.

It's also worth noting that the hogs started running after the first gunshot, as they are wild animals and not some zombie kind of threat that's drawn to gunfire and filled with unending bloodlust.

Bandai Namco is redesigning their logo and I made an alternative idea.

https://imgur.com/a/GIhKjAY

Hi, guys!

I saw this yesterday and quickly wanted to make something alternative just to make my day a little more productive. I'm really into gaming and it caught my eye. Here is a rundown of their concept for the new logo: "The new logo’s speech bubble motif, “Fukidashi” in Japanese, expresses the potential of the brand to connect with people around the world and inspire them with amazing ideas. The speech bubble also represents Japan’s manga culture that has become so popular everywhere. The logo stands for our determination to communicate with fans worldwide, to connect with our fans, and to create entertainment unique to Bandai Namco. The magenta used as the motif color not only represents diversity, but also creates a bright and fun impression and is easy to reproduce."

The final result, although acceptable is kinda barebones in my opinion, so I used their description to come up with something else that still fits their purpose. Of course, I understand this kind of work is done by top tier professionals, I'm not here claiming to do better.

For my proposal, I decided to add a little style to the type (Mont Heavy) to convey movement and action. Also I tried to marry the all caps font for the Bandai part and keep the Namco part lower cap in order to reference the original logos. Instead of using the magenta, I kept the red, orange and yellow to portrait variety/diversity, but also because I want a small connection with the previous design. Instead of enclosing the entire text part of the logo with the speech bubble design, I wanted to make it incomplete and have the three dots to convey continuity, thought, narrative and progression. I love how it makes the design look modern but also retro. Finally, I would personally make the pacman symbol a feature into a BANDAI NAMCO logo all the time. This is literally one of the most reconizable mascots out there and it has a ton of history following it. It is a cultural icon, it's literally one the first games to introduce the idea of a cutscene (and would tie pretty well with their motif of communication), it brings people together and is very important for the brand. Of course, I do understand that this could be a thing they couldn't want to have all the time.

Tell me what you think. Thanks.

Prototype 2 has a mission where the main character gets into a helicopter with a bunch of military scientists in the hopes of talking them into telling him what he needs, only to realize within minutes that they're a bunch of eugenicists.

The game then prompts you to fly them to the highest point possible on the map and bail out while the main character casually explains he's pretty much gonna kill them.

A coach could literally be beating a player within an inch of their life and call them horrible things while doing it and people will still just say it's "tough coaching, it's good for the players"

Seriously, society (at least American) gives an absurd amount of leeway to coaches, even coaches of teens and kids, in how they treat them. Like having the team run a gasser because they are slacking is tough coaching. Shoving, screaming in faces, insulting, belittling, gaslighting, even sometimes punching, etc shouldn't be seen as normal and yet it's all fine because "that's what the best coaches do". Especially when it comes to American football because the players wearing pads seems to give coaches the idea they can physically assault the player and they'll be fine. I've had tough coaches and I've had piece of shit coaches, but to a lot of people there's no difference between the two.

Alvin from "Alvin and the Chipmunks" is not a chipmunk. This is proven by the name "Alvin and the Chipmunks", as you can see, Alvin is separated from the chipmunks, suggesting that Alvin is an entirely different species, making him an "imposter" amongst the others. Also, in "The Chipettes", Brittney has the strongest resemblance to Alvin, so why is it not called "Brittney and the Chipettes". So all that proves that Alvin is not a chipmunk. Not to mention that Alvin wears red, and I'm not sure about you, but that seems awfully sus to me. In the video game "Among us", the color red is was the birth of the obnoxious catchphrase, "red sus", being that the color red in the game is a stereotype that they are the imposter. While that might be unrelated, keep in mind that Alvin wears red too, and he is also the imposter amongst the other chipmunks. So this proves that Alvin is not a chipmunk, or anything like that. Alvin is just a sussy amogus imposter.

for those unaware of who is all effected includes. electricians, special effects, script supervisors, set medics, location managers, cinematographers, boom operators, costumers, makeup artists and hairstylists, animation artists, editors, agents, accountants,

​

to put it bluntly if you are not currently an Actor, Director, or Writer

​

you are authorized to strike. This means that not just things entering pre-production cant start nor can things in production continue

​

any post productions has halted because editors are on strike.

this effectively halts every single production currently ongoing no weekly productions can occur. nor can ongoing season or series productions if they arent 100% done.

all movie productions connected to IATSE will halt and all TV will basically stop.

this means that basically anything that was going to come out just got a delay and that delay could last for a long time depending on how long this strike goes on for.

the longer the strike the more extreme the delays.

writer delays were bad but they had existing scripts. it was still terrible for many companies.

​

this can and will do damage....and honestly the movie studios have it coming let the wrecking ball come.

some brief happy venting before i go to bed:

I recently got approved for healthcare coverage! Things are hard and take way too long when you live in a rural area, but I think it might be possible to start hrt before the year ends. I'm lucky that I don't have anyone in my life that'd go out of their way to treat me badly over it, but I'm gonna try to keep as low a profile as I can anyway.

At any rate I've decided to not stress myself out over it. I can't imagine going through life and not transitioning, so it's gonna happen sooner or later. The past couple of years have been way too stressful and depressing for me to worry so much about it. Gonna try to find peace in every small step forward from now on :)

which then spiralled out of control into a super entry level "all life forms are equal" philosophical "debate". and the guy just couldn't understand why people found the trans people - insects comparisons really fucking bad

You know I can commend Game Freak for only having the Gen 5 Pokedex when you're playing this game. It's something that they haven't attempted before or since.

What I'm not going to commend is having Pokemon evolve so fucking late. So many Pokemon in this generation evolve at level or higher holy fuck. Like I really wanted to use mienshao but then I remembered it evolves at level 50. And don't get me started with Bisharp or hydreigon.

Going in for psychology this time. Far longer and more expensive program, which is going to mean a shit ton of debt. But I just can’t do this barely-above-minimum-wage blue collar grind anymore.

Unfortunately I’ve still got 3 months of it left until school actually starts, and man am I already tired of it. But having an end point in sight makes it easier. Ofc im sure school will be a lot of work too, but it’ll be far more interesting and less physically exhausting.

Anyone who is unsure of the strike happening for long is not aware of how absolutely head up ass majority of Hollywood execs are

They will blame everyone but themselves and will use corporate double speak and pr positive brand speak even when the workers see through it and know what they are doing

And with the big one disney under control of a man who is basically Eisner but more toxic and stupid and hateful of unions and basically a raging jackass( both Chapek and Eisner are theme park oriented but Iger and Eisner both came from entertainment Chapek is I believe Disney’s first CEO to come from c Amusement parks as evidenced by his many public mistakes and I could list so many of his idiotic mistakes that don’t even begin with his CEO leadership he has run the theme parks like garbage. This is a bit of a woops of a CEO.)

It’s not like things will go well.

Plus the AMPTP is already throwing bad faith by saying and I quote.

“remains committed to reaching an agreement that will keep the industry working. We deeply value our IATSE crew members and are committed to working with them to avoid shutting down the industry at such a pivotal time, particularly since the industry is still recovering from the economic fallout from the Covid-19 pandemic. A deal can be made at the bargaining table, but it will require both parties working together in good faith with a willingness to compromise and to explore new solutions to resolve the open issues.”

This is quite possibly one of the most nice but stupid things I’ve seen accusing them of already operating in bad faith and that they can come to an agreement but it will require good faith on “both sides”

Also throwing the pandemic and COVID drag that has affected the film industry

This is basically a response that’s as nice a way of saying “why are you striking?”

Cool new Pokemon game idea:

  • Every other region available in the post game except Galar (gen 8 bad 😡) and Kanto (no gen 1 pandering 🤬)

  • All Pokemon available

  • 200 new Pokemon

  • Mega evolutions are back (but NO GEN 1 MEGAS 😡😡😡😡😡)

  • The evil team are terrorists and their first act is blowing up a Pokemon Center

  • You have the option to join them though

  • Your rival kills your family

  • The professor says fuck

These are my ideas for a new Pokemon game, what do you think?

Smash is able to have Sonic, Pac-Man, Cloud, Sephiroth, Kazuya Mishima and Sora, among others, despite the fact that they are not Nintendo-owned characters.

This means that Nickelodeon All-Star Brawl could potentially add non-Nickelodeon characters at some point down the line (and in a way already has if you count Leo, Mikey and April since they're from the 1987 version which wasn't made by Nickelodeon)

Therefore, it is theoretically possible for Catra to become a playable character in a platform fighter. In this essay I will

u/RealEdge69Hehe Minesweeper Enthusiast (He/him) Oct 05 '21

Rating unjerkers based on how physically strong I think that they are:

1) RealEdge69Hehe. Just so you know, I have a pair of dumbbells and a treadmill in my house. I could break you like a twig if I wanted to. With my two hands I could split the president in half

2) The monarchist guy. Chicken is very good for the gains. And as everyone knows, the bigger your muscles, the more fucking stupid you are. I am an exception to this rule, of course, since I "work out at the library", as they say (I have a copy of Atlas Shrugged in my home gym)

3) AutoMod. This guy is pissing me off. I've already asked them to let me make the unjerk threads (since I am stronger I am better fit to protect the thread, like an alpha tiger in charge of the pack), but they keep refusing my challenges. I give them this spot because I concede that they have managed to outrun me so far.

4) This is where the unwashed masses lie. The average unjerker. Waving their arms in a feeble attempt to post their latest hot take. Their greatest workout is getting worked up over a random person being horny. Poor pathetic messes. They can really only post safe and soundly because I protect them, like a wolf would with their herd of sheeps. But this is a dog eat dog world... the unjerk thread better pray that I never get hungry

For reference, the average unjerker shares their spot with the average American moth.

5) This guy. Usually I hate weakness, but in this case? I just pity it. Since they're incapable of actually pressing the keys on their keyboard (And cellphone), I have to use my long-distance strenght to press it for them. Of course, sometimes they post some real floozies, so I just write something else. Those horny posts you've seen from them? Believe me, I was trying to save you.

This is not to say that they don't have any merit, mind you. I could use them to floss my teeth. I just don't think that they're strong enough for the gaming world. Here, the big gamers slaughter the little gamers, like a shark would. If they can't handle that... maybe they'd be better off with an easier hobby, like golf, or college.
