Bus

Chill Evil

If I have to live in a society where Iryna Zarutska has to die or where they attempt to toss Daniel Penny in prison so some progressive disphit can have a go at expiating their white guilt, I think we should stick aforementioned dipshit in a bus with the doors welded shut. Also present: Decarlos Brown with a Bowie knife.

Let’s see how they feel about it all then. For as long as they last, at least.

Nator

Chill Annoying, War

This is not a good nor fair comparison. The Russian 30mm dual cannon is intended for an entirely different use than the 25mm M242 Bushmaster. The “Terminator” is built mostly for suppressive and area effect fire and generally would send a whole lot of HE-FRAG downrange. The M242, though, is for more constrained fire and is not really intended primarily to be a suppressive or area effect weapon.

In other words, the “Terminator” barrels are supposed to move around like that during operation. This is how the ammo gets spread around when it reaches its target distance. Let’s not allow our hatred of Russia and its actions get in the way of the truth. “Terminator” == working exactly as intended.

Past Echo

Chill Regular-ass Post

This is also when I should’ve left my terrible narcissistic ex who threw plates at my head. Remarkable echo of my own experience. All from this thread. What happened to me is that I’d found out an old North Florida friend of mine had killed herself. Not unusual from where I’m from. She and I weren’t that close anymore — her life had taken many tragic turns and she wasn’t someone I enjoyed hanging around with any longer in light of how much she’d degenerated.

But it still upset me that she’d taken her own life. It’s one of those “we dug coal together” things that people who were not there can’t really understand. I was still pretty young then (24 or so?) and I didn’t realize at that time quite how many of my North Florida compatriots would leave this green earth before they even hit 30.

So I guess I wasn’t being happy enough for my girlfriend that day and she said, “Why are you moping around? You barely saw her anymore and you didn’t even like her that much.” I probably should’ve objected more, but I mumbled something about, “We used to spend a lot of time together in my junior and senior year of high school” and let it be. Anything else would’ve caused her to blow up and I didn’t want to deal with that then.

There were so many signs that I should’ve ended that relationship. That was a big one.
