Yup! They've kinda pulled back on it because of the heartless nature of saying it. "Double tap" also to a lesser extent. I can't remember what the new verbage is because I've been out a long time now and it was just starting to change as I was getting out.

It really wouldn't surprise me if the shocker originated from that phrase as well. 20 years ago it was almost an unofficial salute.

I've always thought that was from the old military expression, 2 in the chest, 1 in the head.

His black wife would be a start, as well as his long outspoken hatred of trump, and killing rich people. (Sinking cruise ships)

Bill burr? I would think jon Stewart before Bill burr. But neither would want it.

And he's a comedian, didn't rise through the military.

It's the most news-worthy country at the moment. The only superpower in the world is turning further and further into fascism and falling in power while still exerting its power on the world as China is rising. Yeah Israel is doing awful things but it's doing it without repercussions, because the US is backing them and using its power to keep anyone from stopping it. All the biggest stories at least tangentially go back to the US right now. I'm sorry you don't like it. Neither do I, but I assume you at least don't live here from this post. Lucky you.

Edit: didn't realize this was leopardsatemyface, thought it was news but the point remains the same. Leopards are eating faces here far more than anywhere else. Let it be a lesson to all right wing people in Europe that nationalism is not good for a country. Especially not for the common people in the right wing.

"fuck this house in particular"

Thank you. Yeah, legislation like that can be easily be stopped. Proof: Trump's already done it, i.e. the inflation reduction act. Just undo it and call it what it is, an unjust act on the citizens, by an illegitimate administration.

Can you reword that in English?

To be fair, even if the Democrats get power back, it's never going to get better. The system is designed only to get worse. We have to tear down everything and start from scratch for anything to get better.

I'd like to start an instance about "bragging". It'd be an instance to celebrate small wins. Like "I did a thing I've been dreading!" I'm almost positive I have ADHD despite that my mother never bothered to have me checked because fuck me, im just a problem right? Well I'd like to set up an instance for people to kind of celebrate doing the things that we absolutely hate doing. "I got my house refinanced and saved $40 a month!" Awesome! I bet that took a lot of effort! Good on you doing the thing!

My doctor said if I have ADHD, that it's not bad enough to do anything about. And I've heard stories of others getting the same thing. So it would be more of a positive support group for people who struggle with those types of things. Like, when I get happy about doing/finishing something mundane, people are like "uh ...cool" cause they don't get the struggle of doing something so mundane. It's so much of a struggle that others don't understand. So when you struggle with this kind of thing, saying "I cleaned the bathroom" gets a response like "that sucks" but that was a win for this person. I want a place for people to brag about knocking things off their never-ending list, to celebrate the win, even if it's nothing to others.

So my question is how do I do this? How do I make a new instance?

Edit: just to stave off the main communication issue, I meant community, not Instance. If anyone has voyager and has done it can help, that'd be great. And I appreciate all help, both previous to the edit and after. Thank you all for the much more supportive place than reddit.

 

Like, obviously they would die immediately. But I'm wondering, would they be ripped to subatomic shreds? Would they somehow manage to set off a small nuclear explosion? Would they just get cooked as they're propelled into the void?

Ok, so I just bought my first shotgun (former military, and longtime pistol/rifle owner). I've got next to zero experience with shotguns however. It's a GForce GFY-1 i bought it without reading reviews, which say it jams a lot. Whoops. Anyways, it comes with 3 chokes, and I have no idea which is for what scenario. Can someone ELI5 the use for them?

Also after reading reviews it says you can't use slugs, why is that? Also, if I can't use slugs, is it ok to use other spicy ammo like dragons breath or flechettes or anything?

Edit: sold it before putting a single shell through it and bought a Remington 870. But I still want a tough semi auto.
