Nix Panicus posted:Id feel bad for the ravers if they werent literally set up at the edge of Gaza for a lurid thrill. Its like when someone sits down next to a bear on some talk show and the bear decides that today is the day and just mauls the poo poo out of them. Its tragic, yeah, but maybe have some caution and respect? even trying to squint at it from a pro-israel point of view, what were they thinking? the cliche goes: the middle east is a dangerous neighborhood. what are these people doing? hamas kidnapped this girl that's been in the news, and that's who we're being told to feel sorry for, but she was also in the military (or had been, apparently), so that's what the military is doing? israel is a bizarre country. seems like it tends toward the extremes. they can't afford to lose people because a significant minority of israeli jews are ultra-orthodox people who want to live unchanged from their ancestors from 19th-century eastern europe. then you have a bunch of bisexual party people who don't have any hangups about that and actually do serve in the military. an israeli goon some years ago described the country as like going from borat to bruno in one night, and i remembered that.  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=28Bmu9sS4Oo&t=8s BrutalistMcDonalds has issued a correction as of 15:20 on Oct 9, 2023 |

I did find this from the nyt in 2007: https://www.nytimes.com/2007/12/09/weekinreview/09baker.html posted:In all shootings — including those against people, animals and in suicides and other situations — New York City officers achieved a 34 percent accuracy rate (182 out of 540), and a 43 percent accuracy rate when the target ranged from zero to six feet away. Nearly half the shots they fired last year were within that distance.

Tiler Kiwi posted:i have a pet theory that a lot of those types just want to avoid feeling politically impotent and so just nod along with whatever their leaders say so they can imagine they're all sitting at the big boy table where people give a poo poo what they think they hate any kind of responsibility for other people, especially people of other cultures so they just go along with whatever means they're the least responsible. liberalism as an idea is fundamentally just "live, laugh, love" and if you ever imply we need to consciously think about the world and the events that happen it means youre mentally ill.

You can spend eight hours a day on the range and it won't matter if you've been programmed to poo poo your pants in fear and terror respond with violence Police accuracy rates are so low because they're reflective of combat ability during an active panic attack

BrutalistMcDonalds posted:this might be morally unserious, but since i'm being that, and if i distance myself from the politics of the situation, the more it looks like a bad and cheesy horror movie. there's these people on X and they're high af three miles away from this beehive of hamas militants. it's six in the morning and the music is still going and here comes the paragliders. death from above 2023. but people react to it like they just watched jason vorhees terrorize a summer camp. some are horrified, and some cheer on the serial killer just because his prey are so stupid. three miles away. what the gently caress. the whole situation is certifiably insane. Yeah, I had the same thought while out on a morning walk. Theyre the teens in a horror movie who go to a party at the old haunted murder house, except its the still active murder house and their friends, family, and government are the ones responsible for the ongoing murders. Its just profoundly stupid. Also lmao about the moral high ground in general. Anyone complaining about Palestine losing the moral high ground was always going to find an excuse to support Israel, and no amount of war crimes or genocide will ever tarnish Israel in their eyes.
