@freemo they don't care about that kind of community risk, though: they *want* an idpol grievance echo chamber, not a place to critically examine their positions to make them stronger. Comfortable patting each other on the back, not any kind of intellectual growth.
In this case, there's a race to describe Florida and Texas in the most hyperbolic nonsensical language possible. You get brownie points and encouragement from the crowd if you do that. Questioning it in any way is spoiling the fun.
I am neither sealioning or asking someone to do my research for me. I am engaging in a respectful discussion. A post was made saying gay/trans cant go there. I asked for why you feel that is the case, that is not sealioning nor asking you or anyone to do research.
I am not trolling, nor "profoundly ignorant", not everyone keeps tabs on the day to day happenings in Florida... but congratulations on being rude to someone who is genuinely curious about your opinion, and having a desire to support you in your concerns. Quite the self-defeating approach you have going there.
Holy hell the toxicity is on another level.. apparently politely asking someone what law they are talking about is the same as sealioning now... cant even make this idiocy up... two days ive been trying to get information and learn about their concerns and for even bothering to try to understand their concerns (with no opposition of any kind) makes me the bad guy.... do these people not realize that this level of toxicity is putting their communities at risk and not helping?
@LouisIngenthron so apparently I've been doing some checking and modern day gunpowder residue isnt corrosive (except for blackpowder and blackpowder substitutes)... At least as far as I can see the idea that you should clean it after every shooting session is a bit out dated.
My husband had to wait for 6 years to capture this view of #TheNeedles.
Taken as the #moon set at 4.30 am last summer. This shot is only possible a couple of times each year. He almost had it in 2016 but it was slightly too breezy and the telephoto lens couldn't keep in focus.
It causes controversy as some think it's fake, I promise you that it is not. It involved much research, persistence and luck with the weather! It's the cover shot on our 2024 calendar #IsleofWight #photography
Decided to do some customizing of my Baretta 92X Performance Defensive... bought a tungsten recoil rod to add an extra 70 grams stabalizing weight, a small red dot optic, and got some really cool wooden grips with some custom art on it. Also adjusted the trigger reset significantly... parts come in tomorrow (except the grips). Kinda excited.
@freemo , trust me when I say that for 20 yards, you did far better than many, and probably most. I know for a fact you just shot better than my kid, who is a cop. :)
@freemo , wanna see where you can go from there? :)
Just finished "debating" with this moron who sent me an apology for something Biden did in June when I was accusing him of something he did in the 60s and 70s... lol and he still insists "why wont I accept his apology".... you just cant cure stupid.
@freemo I literally cringe every time I read he will speak somewhere, I don't know where it is going to go. Anything is possible! He could stumble and fall, fumble his words, forget where he is, forget where he is going, forget his own name, forget what planet he is on, think he's meeting with Julius Caesar, think he is married to Marilyn Monroe, he could even play with his own faeces at this stage and I'd not be surprised!
I'm surprised he stood last election, and even though he won, I don't think he should stand again. I'm absolutely positive there's got to be a bright and younger Democrat who could do well.
