Of all the ridiculous things to nitpick about that post, his weapon-handling skills aren't one; he's holding it properly.

I've heard that you technically can hold the magazine but I'm not sure if you really should. Then again I'm not reaching for a goddamn assault rifle if I hear my cat knock something over during the night.

Lumberjack Bonanza posted:I've heard that you technically can hold the magazine but I'm not sure if you really should. In 2000 I was taught to hold the rifle by the heat guards along the barrel but then when I went back in the Army in 2007 I was told to hold it by the magazine well because some people were pulling the rifle so hard to try to stabilize it they'd bend the barrel slightly and screw up the ballistics. Really though it doesn't matter. The way he's got his elbows tucked it looks to me the way soldiers have been taught since sometime between 2004 and 2008 so I imagine he either learned from the Army or he's a dedicated military cosplayer who pays attention to detail. All that putting aside how loving stupid it would be to go shooting an AK in a residential area unless you don't care about putting holes in anything or anyone that might be behind the evil bad guy while you're living out your childish action man fantasy. e: Even then putting aside the dumb idea of shooting a guy over a TV.

I don't think Jesus approves of having AK-47s in the house. They seem like a really bad idea to have in general, let alone when you're half asleep and paranoid, wandering around your house in the dark, with your family there.

Neither, I'd just assume it was the cat knocking something over. And certainly not the big gun, statistically it's more likely you'll accidentally shoot a family member returning late than someone trying to murder you in your bed.

Crain posted:Anyone else getting posts that go: "Saying white girls love pumpkin spice [whatevers] is fine, but saying black people love [purple drank/friend chicken/watermelon] is racist"? The insinuation being that it's either equally racist (and stop making fun of poor white me) or that it should be fine to latter statement. I know I'm a page behind, but here's a pretty interesting article about watermelon as a negative stereotype. Defenders of slavery used watermelon as a symbol of the symplicity of slaves. They did not need fancy things like freedom or rights to be happy. The only thing they needed was a patch of shade and a watermelon. http://www.ferris.edu/jimcrow/question/may08/  Negative stereotypes about fried chicken have largely been linked to Birth of a Nation, the 1915 hugely successful KKK movie. In that movie, black legislators are shown drinking and eating fried chicken, demonstrating the terrible afftect of giving African Americans the right to vote. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=R4v_yRFf4-Y So the difference between those stereotypes and pumpkin spice, was pumpkin spice lattes were never a propaganda tool of slavery and oppression.

It begins with this. Posted by an Alaska-native, ARE SARAH supporting white girl with dreads, who firmly believes in just about every conspiracy theory about Muslims. Article: http://conservativetribune.com/states-have-banned-sharia-law/ And then it goes nuts. Jordan is my sister (the comments with the lighter blue picture are me stealing her keyboard), Ashley is another brave soul wading into the fray armed with a religious studies degree and two brain cells to rub together, Brandie is the OP, and Glenn is apparently a shrieking idiot (I don't know him). The others are minor contributors that I don't know. I think I forgot to blank out Glenn's last name somewhere but gently caress going back to do it again because that means re-saving things.

The only thing they needed was a patch of shade and a watermelon. I was gonna post most of this, but to expound a little more, back during the slavery era black slaves often got the undesirable parts of the chicken, the various giblets and entrails and feet and if they were lucky they got some actual meat too. Often times they could also raise their own chickens, but without any grain to feed them they were often thin and gamey. So in order to make all this unappetizing stuff taste better they would bread them in flour and fry them in lard. So at the time fried chicken was a symbol of garbage only fit to be eaten by slaves.

I went to school in Dearborn. It's nice city. I don't recall being forced to grow a beard or not being able to drink at any of the dozens of downtown bars. It also has a lot of Chaldeans (Christians of middle-eastern origin). Ironically, the city used to have a very racist past. Elected officials used to campaign on slogans like "Keep Dearborn clean" (ie. white). I can't imagine why Henry Ford loved it so much.

I'm sorry i have lost at this game and now so have you! You liked or commented on my status so you must now post the following message as your status to continue the game for breast cancer awareness month (unless you have lost your sense of humor). I know nobody will read my status but sometimes, when I'm bored, I get wrapped up in a sleeping bag and lather butter all over myself and slide around the kitchen floor pretending I'm a slug. Soooo people post something stupid and if someone else comments on it at all or likes the status, then they're told it is a breast cancer awareness thing and that they need to pass it on chain letter style. Ugh.
