- Comment on What can US citizens do to fight/prevent their country enabling genocide? 8 hours ago:
bullets add up pretty quick too, depending on your budget. Novice shooters tend to shoot for the head and hit the target 60% of the time at 3 feet for a stationary target, 24% at nine feet. Its less for moving targets.
Missing a target thats literally 3 feet from you sounds crazy but once you try it you will see how frustrating it can be to hold a pistol right and line it up right to the target. I’ve walked up to stationary grouse on roadways (they come in the morning to eat rocks to aid digestion) and blasted all around them missing each time from 5 feet away. Luckily they are incredibly stupid and just stand there, or look at the spot where the bullet hit on the ground, confused.

Well mr anti-purity test, maybe these people you dont like have non-negotaibles – like being against genocide. Things they wont negotiate away which you dont understand it because theres nothing you wouldnt sell out.
- Comment on We gonna fight 4 days ago:
I’m sure the leftists would say its all progressives fault. For everything. But also that the leftists would never be allowed to have any place of authority in the party. They’d sooner have republicans.

granted, it hasnt been measured that I can find, so I’m talking about what I think, not what is known. It possible you’re right.

Because Lemmy’s userbase was boosted by a lot of reddit banned people, and reddit bans people for political speech. I’d guess lemmys userbase doesnt represent a random sampling of the general population.

You mean like old school non gamified shuffleboard right? Because right now for a small investment you can play shuffleboard against anyone in the world. Also has instagram plugins, and an AI to encourage or train you.
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 2 weeks ago:
Yeah, ipods wasnt the best example for me to use. the world was supposed to be taken over by tablets and they came and went. And the metaverse. And google glasses. It seems like futurists get it wrong a lot. And I think apple’s glasses will inevitably fit in there too.
Screens are stale and old from a product managers perspective but they do the job better than glasses probably ever will. I will furusit predict myself that glasses will ultimately fail to be adopted.

I see you, canadian instance lemmy user. Well we’ll sneak into your maple syrups factories and pour high fructose corn syrup into the syrup vats, so only Americans can tolerate the taste.
- Comment on Report: Apple CEO “cares about nothing else” Than Building Breakout AR Glasses Before Meta 2 weeks ago:
add those to a long line of things no one asked for or will buy, like tablets, ipods, and the metaverse.

Yeah you’ve got to wonder if that extra bit they trimmed off would be nicer to have there or not. But I guess the mutilated pecker is all I’ll ever know so I guess its fine?
- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 3 weeks ago:
BS. You think the US is going to invade over not accepting a deportee? The restr of the glove is not so scared of the Us that they will just do whatever silly BS the US asks, especially now that we’ve been proven to be a bunch of impotent clowns.
- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 3 weeks ago:
Heres the list of the 12 dems that voted to pass it. I see Mark Kelly again. Slotkin, fetterman. A whose who of Dnc absolute douchbags who all need to be removed from the party. I hope Hogg gets them all tossed.
- Comment on Why hasn't congress passed a law saying that you can only deport people *back to their own country*? 3 weeks ago:
Because they havent been paid to do so yet. They dont work for us.

Without defined borders or a functioning legal system I’d say Israel is a territory controlled by terrorists, not a state.

what kind of douche police force writes “pursuit” in giant letters on their car. Bunch of incels.
- Comment on Genius 1 month ago:
Agreed, Mexican food is one of the greatest culinary flavor profiles the world has known so far. This guy looks like he sits around eating mayonnaise out of the jar with a spoon. He’s probably just mad that mayo prices went up.
- Comment on Genius 1 month ago:
Fox news with the hard hitting journalism, as usual. And that saggy faced guy looks like he might have a coronary within the hour, someone should get him some help or he might die on tv. For now at least he is still entitled to universal health care via medicare.
Can males have resting bitch face?
That should be the real headline. Also, my toddler gets that look on his face when he is about to dump his food on the floor and cry, without actually knowing why he is crying.He looks like he’d find eating any vegetable “offensive” as well. He might eat a pudding cup.
- Comment on LinkedIn’s cofounder Reid Hoffman says seeking work-life balance is a red flag that you’re ‘not committed to winning’ 1 month ago:
I worked at LNKD through a good part of its rampup. Jeff Weiner made Linkedin what it was. Reid Hoffman was mostly useless and came along for the ride. His “masters of scale” podcast series was a bit of a joke too, he never had anything to do with anything technical or at scale. He is just stealing credit from his betters.
- Comment on Most Americans think AI won’t improve their lives, survey says 1 month ago:
Its just going to help industry provide inferior services and make more profit. Like AI doctors.
