  • It removes your duty to retreat if you are in a life-threatening situation, whether on private or public property. It essentially extends the castle doctrine to include your personal space at all times.

    If after being headbutted, he pulled a CCW, or even had the AR on his person, I think he could make a reasonable claim of self defense. If the protestor followed him back to his truck, he could make a claim of self defense, but if you have the time and security to go back to your truck, get your gun, and the return to confront someone, I think you’ve gone outside the realm of being in a life-threatening situation, and therefore self-defense no longer applies.


  • Try to keep the mouse centered in your mousing area. The aiming motions for the mouse are shorter, snappier throws rather than the long and slow arcs of an analog stick.

    So move the mouse to your aimpoint, then pick up and recenter. I find that a full “flick” for me should go about 360 degrees. You can also check for mouse acceleration settings, this increases the rotation of your view based on how fast you move the mouse. Good for games where action is coming in from all sides, but it can cause some problems with precision and consistency.


  • It will happen with the current administration. Red states are the most reliant on government “handouts”. Conservative voters are predominantly the least educated, least informed, and most economcially vulnerable people. They will be the most affected by trumps tariffs. They will be the most affected by his billionaire tax breaks. They will be the most affected by his cuts to social programs. I hate to see my fellow Americans fall on hard times, but despite all the history, expert opinions, and direct evidence that Trump is going to fuck them over, they keep voting for him. It’s going to be hard, but I’m not giving my conservative neighbors and family any direct support for the next 4 years. Thoughts and “prayers” are all that they will get from me. Let them suckle from the shriveled teat of their spray-tanned steer this time.








  • I’ll bite.

    Jon isn’t ultra liberal, I’d say he’s on the far side of center left, like a lot of Democrats. Pro-capitalism, but managed/regulated capitalism. Pro social safety nets, but not “everyone gets everything they need for free”.

    The guy basically quit his show and went to the mat for 9/11 first responders, and I get the feeling that the opinions and issues he talks about are his actual opinions on issues that are important to him. I applaud him for not holding back on attacking Biden when it was clear that Biden was unfit for another 4 years in office. I think if we had listened to Jon earlier, we would have been able to run an actual primary and get Democrat voters more engaged. If you find Jon annoying or intolerable now, it might just be because he’s calling out shit that you like, and he’s doing it effectively.
