  • You shouldn’t need to. .300 Win mag is long action, so you’re going to be using a bolt action rifle. There’s not going to be too many contexts where you’re going to want to swap out the scope for anything other than fairly long range.

    Why would you us a bow? Range is poor, and lethality is also low, esp. with the access the the ultra-wealthy have to medicine. When you hunt deer with a bow, you can usually expect to have to follow a blood trail, as it’s rarely an instant drop.

    Use a .300 Winchester magnum from 1000 yards; at that distance, you still have about 850 foot-pounds of energy, which is roughly double a 9mm at point black range. With the right ammo, that’s more than enough to get the job done. You probably want a combined mechanical and ammunition accuracy of about .5 MOA range though, so that you have deviation of less than 6" at that range. It’s a challenging shot, but it’s definitely doable if you know your holds and can call the wind.






  • Hmmm. Three-way tie, TBH. I’ve been on the internet since before Netscape, so take this for what it’s worth.

    A child (maybe six?) being raped was definitely one of the worst; she was screaming and crying in the brief clip I watched. Apparently it was her father that was raping her; AFAIK he’s in prison for life now. Hopefully his life in prison is very short. I’m not even sure how many years ago this was now.

    Crush videos involving kittens on an .onion site about a decade ago. I clicked on a thumbnail just long enough to verify that yeah, it was what I thought it was, and then left the site. I’ve owned cats my whole life; if I knew someone personally that did that, I would absolutely kill them. Yes, I had a stronger visceral reaction to that than I did a child rape video, and no, that doesn’t make any sense.

    A video from Mexico showing a purported child rapist; he was restrained, and dogs were chewing his genitals off. He had those high, breathy screams of someone in agony that was unable to catch their breath. It ended after the dogs tore his entire lower abdomen to shreds and one of the cartel (?) members cut his throat. Maybe 15 years ago? I’m pretty sure that this was a hi-def video.

    I didn’t watch the video of the Russian officer cutting the head off a Ukrainian POW. I’m past the point of having any desire to watch videos that further decrease my opinion of humanity.










  • Probably not, TBH. It’s probably about social order; they likely believe that there should be a specific order and set of rules in society, and that somehow billionaires ‘deserve’ what they have, and that it’s ‘right’. “The way it is is the way it should be.” They likely also have regressive views about the position women should hold in society, LGBTQ+ rights, etc., for the same reasons. It’s a fundamentally conservative thought process.


  • Yeah, I have, and I got stiffed out weeks of pay I was owed because it was with a fly-by-night contractor that had a nose-candy problem. …Which is why I don’t do that any more. (Plus, he insisted on doing shit in the most backassward, bullshit way. I’ll be surprised if his shit doesn’t kill someone some day.)

    If you work for a reputable company–not as a 1099 contractor, which is self-employed–then you probably have to be paid overtime pay. If you get a W2, and you’re not getting OT when you have to put in more than 40 hours in a week, then you need to consult with an employment attorney.
