  Fun fact about Somaliland: despite it not being recognized by most of the world (Israel kinda does but only because they wanted to do shit opposite Yemen) and being seen as a “breakaway state”, it’s actually richer, more stable, safer, and more developed than the Country it broke away from: Somalia.

    I’ve got no data to prove or disprove this gut feeling of mine, but aren’t most separatist movements motivated like this?

      Abbiistabbii reminding us that the things the governments tell us about anti-state movements (like the idea that without their government there is no law or morals) aren’t exactly true, they’re only a biased perspective from those scared of losing power over the public. Fwiw I don’t think any group is ‘bad’ just because they got together and separated from state control, I think it’s great that can still happen.

      Motivated by it, yes, often. Successful at it? Rarely.

  The fool, once you have the AK you just rob them at gunpoint for the iPhone

• jaybone@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

  Thing is, you could use the AK to simply take the iPhone.

    Are you crazy? There’s police nearby.

      Does the police have AKs though?

  I do the deal then immediately rob him with my new gun, by this action he will realize I’m American and we’ll pivot to doing dance videos on tiktok

  Yes. That Somali AK is undoubtedly full auto and the gobermint won’t let me buy one commercially because apparently we live in soviet russia… which is where AKs come from.

  Don’t hassle me about this.

  Depending on where you are at, might be the safest choice. Bring an extra and make nuco the deal includes the bullets.

    The way I see it is youre not getting past the airport with an AK. So an iphone for renting an AK isnt a good deal

      You can ship it to yourself quite easily if you follow customs regs.

      Easier if you sneak it in with cargo that just gets tossed on a truck as soon as it comes in. That’s cheaper but riskier though.

      An iPhone for your life is a good deal in my book. Ah sucks I’m feeling generous today, why not both.

  That’s a great deal - most people would agree to trade their phone for a single bullet

  Is rounded corner still a thing? Despite bad usability and worse repairability?

  That’s some trigger discipline even on the magazine.

  That’s a samsung

  • MasterNerd@lemmy.zip ⁨1⁩ ⁨month⁩ ago

    That’s his phone, not the phone he’s trading for. Idk why he needs another phone but there are plenty of possible reasons

      I mean, if he had an iPhone, he wouldn’t meet to barter for one, right?
