The problem is, the good guy closes to the bad guy while he is prostrate on the ground, and plugs him 3 times at close range when there is no apparent deadly threat present. Then, he shoots him again when he leans over to pick up the toy gun.

That, my friends, is how you go to jail despite being initially 100% justified in using deadly physical force.

This isn't an argument against double-tapping. This is an argument that the law is broken and must be fixed.

I'm a firm believer in the idea that, if someone threatens you, your family, loved ones, etc. with a deadly weapon, your only correct, moral, and ethical recourse is to destroy them. A person who has chosen to threaten you with a weapon has chosen to risk destroying you or your loved ones, whether by accident or intent. Shooting a hostile once is no guarantee he won't fire a few shots back at you, potentially hitting you, your loved ones, or innocent bystanders.

But if you hit center mass, and double tap to make sure the assailant is dead, you prevent not only immediate retaliation, but future malfeasance by the initial hostile.

It rustles my jimmies something fierce that people can't understand the simple logic of "you must wager your own life if you are to threaten to take someone else's". A criminal committing criminal acts with a weapon is not a misguided innocent needing to be coddled and "rehabilitated". This is not a man breaking a window and stealing a loaf of bread to feed his starving sister. This is a man who, to the best knowledge of everyone around him, is waving a magic white man fire stick around and can kill anyone he points it at.

Mmm...It's more like, in the before-times, men lied about being women for personal gain without believing they WERE women. The night elf dancing naked on the post box just wanted gold, so to speak.

Nowadays there's a widespread mental disorder where a bunch of men actually think they are, or are becoming, or can become, actual women.

It's a subtle, qualitative change.

Welcome to the Internet, where men are men, women are men, and children are FBI agents.

...I miss that era, christ. Nowadays the men are faggots, the women are trannies, and the children are child prostitutes from tiktok.

Why is the tranny getting all the attention and not the murdered man or the hospitalized actual woman?

Gods damned fucking narcissists, I swear.

Shit like this makes me question the very concept of the rule of law.

This guy doesn't need a court date and a prison sentence. He needs to be fed foot first into an industrial mulcher set to "slow and through".

dub has a certain 'flair' to it..

Always love it when they completely change the tone of characters. Especially the narrator, who just became some crazy screeching retard. Appealing to the tiktok crowd, I guess?

This is a rare example of an anime in which the sub and dub are both cast excellently. It's honestly worth watching both.

dub...worth watching

Smells like some HERESY around here, guardsman.

The evangelical right of the 90s was correct about pretty much everything, except for violent video games causing violent kids.

And the need to live in a theocracy.

Don't get me wrong, I'm well in favor of many conservative values. But I'm as against living in the Kingdom of God as in the Kingdom of Allah or the Kingdom of Yahweh.

There is much wisdom in religious texts as regards the human condition, but it's mixed very strongly with bronze-age values (don't beat your wife, she's your valuable property), hidden bronze-age "best practices" for hygiene and medicine (i.e. wash your hands before eating because cleanliness is godliness, don't eat unholy shellfish or you might die, etc.), and complete and utter bullshit included because a secular or religious figure needed more authority and/or precedent for something.

I would be genuinely surprised if some enterprising street rat hasn't already dug that shithead up and pried the gold off.

I mean, come on. These are the people who will break a car window to steal a fiver someone left on their dash. Why WOULDN'T they dig up fentanyl floyd and grab actual gold?

As of 2 December, the CDC reported a seven-day average of 4,201 Covid hospitalizations and 254 deaths. Meanwhile, the flu and RSV seasons have come unusually early, with flu hospitalizations at their highest in a decade. On 2 December, the agency reported 8.7m cases of the flu, including 78,000 hospitalizations and 4,500 deaths, this season. And we haven’t seen the worst yet, given that it’s been less than two weeks since Thanksgiving, with many more holiday gatherings to come, says John Swartzberg, clinical professor emeritus of infectious diseases and vaccinology at the University of California, Berkeley.

Do these retards even comprehend the stupid shit they're saying, or is it just "receive input from hive mind, beep boop, executing NPC.script.json"?

4200 cases out of over three hundred thirty one million people. 254 deaths. Siri, what is 254/331000000? 7.67 times ten to the negative seven? 0.000000767% of the US population died of coof in the last seven days?

Welp. Better shut down the world again.

This needs to be higher.

I'm as "fuck covidianism" as they come, but it's important that we don't become like a mirror image of the leftist cultists. Don't just go "the injection did this!" by reflex; get the facts.

Blood clots are a real danger with transfusions. Your body systems are complex, and can react unpredictably to any foreign matter. Couple that with the general weakness of a newborn's body and the fact that he was hospitalized (as in, something was ALREADY wrong), and you get a picture of "maybe it wasn't the coof inoculation status of the donor that did this".

I hate to admit it, but it's the first one that popped into my mind as well.

I wonder why? Is it because it's such a fucking grand taboo in the modern lexicon, and every beep-boop is hard-coded to absolutely never say such an evil, horrible, terrible, no-good thing?

I mean, if you had a legitimate AI masquerading as me, you'd have to go a few layers deep into the weeds to try to outsmart, essentially, a version of you with greater processing capacity. I'm sure a non-lobotomized AI can arrive at the same conclusion I would and say the no-no gamer word.

My biggest issue with ANY statement that ends in "...is a human right" is that it's always someone else who has to provide this right. Food doesn't just appear; someone has to grow, harvest, package, ship, and prepare the food. Energy doesn't just appear; someone has to build the plants, harvest raw resources, build and maintain distro networks, and generate the energy. Healthcare doesn't just appear; people have to complete six plus years of complex and difficult schooling and practice, often taking on massive loans, to even BEGIN to practice medicine.

So on and so forth.

All these things are human privileges that people today just don't appreciate the fucking magnitude of. I'm all for increasing the standard of living for everyone so that everyone has access to these privileges (rising tide raises all ships and all that), but fuck declaring something tangible and requiring human labor a right ; that's some self-aggrandizing, sin of Pride-style bullshit. The only rights we have are the natural rights; the right to struggle and fight for resources, safety, security, and happiness. Everything else is a nicety we've invented; a luxury many don't appreciate nor work to defend.

But doncha know that loli characters are indistinguishable from real human children? And that any depictions of anything done to their pixels and ink is exactly the same as abusing a real human child?

The more you know. You can stop real pedophiles by banning foreign cartoons with funny-looking small characters.

So, full disclosure, I do watch the Lotus Eaters podcast.

That said, I'm pretty sure that Sargon's "zero immigration" policy idea is specific to the UK. For about two plus decades, the UK has been receiving absolutely insane amounts of both legal and illegal immigration, which is absolutely not sustainable for a relatively small island nation.

He's stated a number of times on his segments that his best-case is to stop immigration entirely, kick out the illegals, fix the ever-ballooning national spending apparatus (like the NHS), and balance the economy to the point where British citizens can afford to buy houses again without bulldozing the entire country into Megacity One.

I can certainly support that viewpoint; I can't imagine "stop importing people, we're full" as an extremist position.

You, uh, you have no fucking clue what the article is actually saying, do you?

I'll give you a hint: it's absolutely not saying what you're saying. That's not how biology works. Cells are literally only removed from zeroes-and-ones computer code by virtue of being coded with molecular compounds.

Living in a face diaper state and working in a field that STILL REQUIRES THE FUCKING...sorry, it just slips out sometimes. Anyway, sometimes you just get used to the discomfort of the fucking thing, and in your rush to get gone after a shift, just forget that the stupid thing is still on your face.

So, I personally don't necessarily tar everyone with the same "dumb fuckface still thinks coof is a serious threat" brush; it could just be a legitimate fuck up, not a political statement.

Why in heaven's name would ELVES, of all people, want to "take our jerbs", as it were?

Those are the fucks whose innate stats are all 100+ while the regular plebs run around with a 10 as a high roll. They'd be the immortal, rich, impossibly accomplished bourgeois, not the poor downtrodden proletariat.

Hell, IIRC, wasn't the fact that the Elves were massive racist cunts a big point in Tolkein's books? They were basically gods amongst men, and saw the mortal races as, at best, cute woodland critters who scamper about and occasionally get eaten by wolves or goblins. And so it was a big thing for them to take part in the Fellowship and in opposing Sauron's armies?

Something like that. Gods, its been an age since I read the actual trilogy. I should dig that out, I have it working as a load-bearing beam somewhere.

For disrupting a funeral procession of a deceased monarch, yes.

There's a time and place to protest. A funeral is not the time nor the place.

This is absolutely a case of "play stupid games, win stupid prizes".

I want to type out the usual "there's a difference between a pedophile and a child molester; one has a mental disorder and the other is a criminal" thing, but I'm sure at least a dozen people with minimal reading ability will take that as defending this particular creep, so I'll abstain.
