Your existence is nauseating

It takes a huge amount of industry to produce firearms, not just the precision in machining, precision of alloys used, heat treatment of steels, supply lines, etc. Missing one of these vital attributes will lead to, at best, an unreliable weapon, or at worst, something that will explode and potentially kill the user.

As Ukraine is the poorest country in Europe fighting the largest European war since WW2, anything that can shoot accurately is precious, especially a big ass .50 with a very long range. As they say, its hard to hide from a .50

I don't believe he understands women exist. We are just a bunch of furless, bald, atrocities before him, our subtle differences are of the least concern to him, we are mere staff for his reign.

As half Asian, I think his accent is pretty over the top but I am at least glad to see a strong Asian identity, and to an extent embracing our stereotypes. I'm also glad others can enjoy this content, even though it isn't the same without having experienced Asian parents.

In the potentially realistic event my cat eviscerates any article placed upon him, would he be considered a terf?

American of asian descent, absolutely ludicrous! It would perhaps be more forgiviable if all of the floors were furnished in hardwood and tile, but they'll wear shoes even on carpet! Immediately after entering one of these heathen's houses, I long for the soft, lucious, kempt, carpets of my own abode, compared to the repuslive, stiff, flat and even crunchy carpets of my white friends. Frankly it offends me, deeply. I must slap my friends silly before entering my home to remove their filthy clogs.

Do you prefer headpats or scritches

Do you demand pets from everyone you meet or skitter away as soon as someone enters your home

This is a DSHK .50" (roughly) caliber heavy machine gun, converted to an infantry support weapon. Typically these guns are mounted to a tripod or vehicle, but Ukraine has been converting these to infantry support weapons by adding a bipod, carry handle, shoulder stock, gigantic muzzle break(to make recoil bearable), new handle and new trigger assembly.

For anyone wondering, a DSHK heavy machine gun is 34kg or 75 pounds.

Here's a video that discusses it in detail, and covers similar american prototype conversions with their equivalent heavy machine, the M2 Browning (38kg, 84lbs).

They think of us as staff.

 

I have many interests, if not too many. From cooking, woodwork and computers. Many of my friends are academically very successful but are frankly painfully boring and I sometimes feel isolated around them.

I like to cook when they hang at my house, I'll try to teach them how, some basic tips, etc. As soon as I glanced towards them again I realized they walked off.

This summarizes a lot of our interactions. As we get to a topic I understand and can speak passionately about, they sort of turn off. They talk to each other fine, but it's often internet drama, school drama or sports.

I'm not in college\classes and it seems almost impossible to meet others, especially others that are interesting and curious. I find myself bonding most to adults but it's isolating I can't find others my age.

 

Is there ever something that happened to a family member that you will ever know? Has anyone gone missing under mysterious circumstances? Is the place next to your great grandmother's friend's dad's house totally haunted?

 

I think that if an outright war is raging in the comments, let it run it's course. All parties are willing participants, free to disengage at any moment.

The exceptions should be when illegal content is being shared or illegal activity is occurring (CP, doxxing, etc).

It's always frustrating when a juicy argument gets locked because it's "unproductive". I was having a great time watching it unfold, both sides hurling both creative and uncreative insults, oblivious to how low they are sinking to. It's great!
