- Comment on (Laser) Printer go brrrr 3 weeks ago:
you’re entitled to your own opinion, but I’ve never had anything but good experiences with my own Brother laser printer. I was the one who picked it out and bought it since my family needed to print a lot of stuff and I didn’t want to deal with troubleshooting it for them, and it has been by far the most reliable, easy to use printer any of us have ever dealt with. We used to have shitty HP inkjets, and those can all die in a fire along with HP.

- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
fair enough, goes to show the gaps in my knowledge – but after seeing one guy desperately trying to crawl away with his legs blown off before being blown up by a second drone, I decided that was all the Ukraine footage I needed to see.
- Comment on [deleted] 5 weeks ago:
I’m not saying you’re wrong, but: has anyone in Ukraine actually tried a shotgun?
I generally try to avoid watching anything that’ll scar my psyche, but, as far as I’m aware soldiers in the field don’t usually carry shotguns, but rifles, in the anticipation of dealing with enemies wearing body armor/at some distance. And hitting a moving drone with a rifle, yes absolutely that’d be a bitch – one projectile is not enough, especially for a moving target.
Police (and I’m assuming ICE as well), generally dealing with people not equipped with body armor, tend to keep a shotgun handy for a multitude of reasons (breaching doors, not overpenetrating through walls, etc), and skeet shooting is already a thing (though admittedly it would still be harder if the drone was moving erratically).
All this is to say: I don’t know anything for a fact, because I’ve tried to avoid watching anything that’ll scar me, but has anyone in Ukraine on either side had access to a shotgun or two before getting turned into gibs? because I can absolutely believe that soldiers with rifles would fail to shoot a drone, but I wouldn’t be so quick to discount a couple people with shotguns unless that’s already a solution the Russians tried before the cope cages.

That sounds like a fine way to have your (presumably expensive) drone carrying your (presumably also expensive) camera hit with buckshot.
I’m not saying don’t try anyways. But there’s a good chance the gestapo just starts blastin’.
- Comment on How do I use Firefox and block YouTube ads? 1 month ago:
uBlock Origin probably just needs its filter lists updated, you can update them by opening the extension, hitting the gears icon, clicking on the “filter lists” tab at the top and selecting update next to any that are outdated.
Personally, I use the nuclear option because fuck google – I have AdNauseam (which includes uBlock Origin), SponsorBlock, PopUpOFF, DeArrow, Return Youtube Dislike, and CanvasBlocker.

again, this is in case punching Nazis is simply not an option for you
- Comment on Anon is investigated 1 month ago:
honestly, though, don’t forget how dangerous/irritating you can be to an authoritarian, paranoid surveillance state by merely being a waste of their time.
If they’re nazis, then clearly the morally correct thing to do if you can’t punch them is to annoy them in some manner.

you apparently missed the word “net” in my comment. It does show downvotes on my app/instance. Ergo, his posts are still reaching people just fine, because again he has several hundred net upvotes, and many comments, meaning whoever was trying to limit his visibility has failed.
- Comment on Guess I'm on the right track 😌 2 months ago:
oh yeah, I’ll bet OP feels very unseen right now, with their nearly 500 net upvotes and ~70 comments on this post.
Point being, said loser has failed miserably to do anything other than make themselves look more like a loser.

It will never not be funny to me that some people are so chronically online they think everyone else gives as much of a fuck about made up internet points as they do, and more, will go to such an extraordinary effort on a site which doesn’t have cumulative karma like reddit did. these guys not only need to touch grass, they need to go and become one with nature for a few weeks.
lastly, ow, fuck, my sides!

I swear, the best way to experience Helldivers 2’s community is to just be decent in games with randoms, maybe watch CommissarKai’s videos (do not go into the comments section) for tips on teamplay, and absolutely positively do not venture into the steam forums, the discord, or any other big discussion forum centered around the game because it w i l l be a cesspit, unfortunately.
