Too conspicuous? The idea is to let them know we’re here, we’re pissed off, and we’re prepared to fight for what we demand. Why are you trying to go unnoticed in what’s supposed to be an overt display of unity?

If you have the gear to withstand their tools, you should be obvious about it. You’ll become a target and draw their fire away from those who are more vulnerable. If you’re not willing to take a hit, give your gear to someone who is, take your signal whistle, position yourself at the back of the crowd, and keep watch for flankers.

Last I checked, I’m not free to shoot anyone who isn’t trying to kill me.

It’s a real shame the first amendment only applies to congress.

Wear ANSI impact rated airsoft goggles over the pool goggles to protect from rubber bullets.

A hard hat with ANSI impact rated face shield attached is also viable and allows a respirator. Make sure to use a chin strap with the hard hat.

If a gas grenade lands near you, cover it with a traffic cone and pour water down the hole on top. Do NOT try to pick it up unless you’re wearing an oven mit or silicone grill glove. Kicking it is fine though.

P100 works on particulates only. To protect from tear gas, you’ll need carbon / charcoal, gas filters. Look for painting filters.

Some P100 filters also have gas filters. Make sure you know what you have before you rely on it.

A 50/50 mix of Maalox antacid and saline also does well

The role of a government is to collect taxes, then use those taxes to provide the most good to the greatest number of people.

In general, voters will have many ideas as to what that implementation should look like, which is why we elect representatives.

“Do you shit with the door open?”

“Why? Are you hiding something?”

“To make sure you’re not hiding anything, I need you to shit with the door open from now on.”

Eventually, they’ll justify their need for privacy. When they do, agree with them.

1,625 is hardly representative of a data set containing tens of millions

In the owner’s manual, it says you consent to data collection by driving the car and if you don’t consent, you should return the car to the nearest dealer.

Why does “some kind of enforcement” need to involve violating the privacy of everyone, including people who don’t drive like dangerous cunts? Do you really think there’s no other way to enforce traffic laws?

The best example I’ve heard is, if I wait outside your house and follow you around everywhere you go, every single time you leave the house, even though you’re “in public,” that’s still a crime and it’s called “stalking.”

“Microsoft thinks it has social permission to burn the planet for profit” is all I’m hearing.

1. Remove the magazine (or cartridges)

2. Open the action and confirm no cartridge is present

The exact steps will depend on the action (pump, bolt, break, semi-auto, etc.) and the particular model of firearm, but it’s essentially the loading process performed in reverse

Thieves love those. Just by looking at it, you know there’s a gun in there. They’re light and small enough you can pick up and steal the whole thing, no problem. Then, you can smash it open when you get somewhere else with no tools required. If you spike it like a football with both hands onto concrete and concentrate the force onto one of the lid’s corners, it’ll pop right open after a few tries. Most of the hinges can also be easily attacked if you have some basic tools and need to be quiet.

So just leave it there for some kid to find?

Appropriately, the “house rules” that keep the game going longer and make it “more fair” is actually just socialism

Not worth it getting all the Korok seeds in BotW
