The idea of shooting any round at someone and expecting to "just wound them" is absurd, but .223/5.56 is definitely in the range of "reliably fatal if applied to the chest or head" .

It might not be a "big boy round" but it's still a rifle round -- if wasn't powerful enough to reliably "incapacitate" (i.e. kill) a human being at 100 yards the world's militaries wouldn't still be using after 40+ years.

So higher wages, better working conditions, and in exchange maybe be held to a higher standard of professionalism?

That would never work!!!!!111111

Yes, there was.

Crooks’ political leanings were not immediately clear. Records show Crooks was registered as a Republican voter in Pennsylvania, but federal campaign finance reports also show he gave $15 to a progressive political action committee on Jan. 20, 2021, the day President Joe Biden was sworn into office.

He was also wearing a "Demolition Ranch" t-shirt ... which take from that what you will.

They really aren't: it's just going to add a little thickness, weight, and cost to the phone. Screws and gaskets aren't exactly rocket science.

You're absolutely right. However, they were going to find a reason regardless, since violence was always their end goal.

If it wasn't this idiot it would have been something else: Trump losing the election is any easy one. The "Boogaloo crowd" resorting to violence was inevitable -- the only thing that has changed is we can no longer pretend it's tomorrow's problem.

Yeah ... it almost certainly won't. The world's largest economy and millitary will still be unmatched, except now they're under the control of mask-off christofascists. They're evil, but unfortunately they're not stupid.

Everyone in the free world will be in for a bad time to varying degrees. I can promise you the new regime won't be isolationists.

Most of the calls I've seen to defederate haven't been because of an instance's content, but rather because of an instance's users being the problem.

E.g. hexbear getting the boot during the period where some of its users thought it was hilarious to brigade other instances and spam giant emojis of a well endowed pig shitting on itself.

Furries do the back-end stuff, Femboys do anything client-facing.

Both are about hateful idiots causing harm to someone else and choosing to ignore it.

Fallacy of ...

It's a simile, you dork.

Czar of Russia

The Czar wasn't around during the Cold War for ... reasons.
