It's the dunk tank.

This is where you come to post big-brained hot takes by chuds, libs, or even fellow leftists, and tear them to itty-bitty pieces with precision dunkstrikes.

Rule 1: All posts must include links to the subject matter, and no identifying information should be redacted.

Rule 2: If your source is a reactionary website, please use archive.is instead of linking directly.

Rule 3: No sectarianism.

Rule 4: TERF/SWERFs Not Welcome

Rule 5: No ableism of any kind (that includes stuff like libt*rd)

Rule 6: Do not post fellow hexbears.

Rule 7: Do not individually target other instances' admins or moderators.

Rule 8: The subject of a post cannot be low hanging fruit, that is comments/posts made by a private person that have low amount of upvotes/likes/views. Comments/Posts made on other instances that are accessible from hexbear are an exception to this.

Rule 9: if you post ironic rage bait im going to make a personal visit to your house to make sure you never make this mistake again

Why the fuck are cops using silencers?

no-knock evictions shouldn't ever wake our blessed landlords sleeping in

Because gunfire is loud, especially indoors where the sound bounces off walls and they're trying to yell communication to each other. I'd have a suppressor on every gun if I could

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Good point, guess sleep deprivation makes me forget even simple shit like that.

Suppressors are pretty useful in general. They really should be considered a safety device rather than something that makes a gun more deadly.

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

I read that in Europe, they supposedly encourage gun owners to use silencers when shooting in public spaces (e.g. hunting) because otherwise it would be considered rude to disturb other people lol

I think the concern with suppressors is that they make crimes easier to hide, not that they make guns more deadly.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

That’s debatable I think but it’s not an unfounded concern. They don’t make guns silent, it just dampens the noise and flash.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 8 months ago

Oh yeah, the effectiveness of suppressors is greatly exaggerated in movies, but they do significantly lower the volume and recognizability of gunshots. That's the whole benefit haha.

Is it AI, maybe? I'm not sure their badges match and that 3rd cop in back doesn't feel natural to me. I thought it was just bad layering, but it could be AI.

[–] [email protected] 20 points 8 months ago (2 children)

AI would make them super jacked, not realistically fat

[–] [email protected] 11 points 8 months ago

I was surprised they showed what cops actually look like.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 8 months ago

Not if they're as incompetent at Ai prompts as they are at the rest of their life.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 8 months ago

As we know all cops are bastards

Silencers are a good idea honestly for protecting people's hearing. Contrary to what Hollywood shows, silencers do not actually silence a gun, but rather quiet it.

If you ever shoot a gun indoors, what happens @[email protected]?

[–] [email protected] 10 points 8 months ago

lol for reals they don’t even have night vision on why have the peq at that point?
