What was your "we have to leave now" moment?

To add, typically to cook crack you take 36oz of coke mixing it with water in a pot on the stove, next step to make your boulders add baking soda, if the flame is low then turn it up and stir it up, finally just wait til it gets hard, then bag it up you got a key homie that's The Recipe

Nah he'll be shuffling off somewhere surrounded by 6 armed guards, actually running for the exit with him probably puts you in closer proximity.

One would think they'd be aiming in the direction the attacker is coming from, which since this isn't amogus is "probably the other way."

Some are lol. I mean you're not wrong it is "normal" but also not necessarily a lack of self preservation, could be faith in the Secret Service. Or faith in The Lord™ I guess, maybe he believes and doesn't mind meeting him lol.

Was it in my general direction? It's a big place, could very well not be in the backstop. How do I know the shot wasn't a secret service agent neutralizing a threat, seems quiet now I guess they got him.

Tbf, it was "fine" (respects to the family of the guy who did get shot of course), the shooter didn't make it anywhere near soup guy and probably not this guy either.

Shootings get to a large number of casualties when they shoot at unarmed people, this guy stormed a line of armed people, much harder.

At the end of the day it's their gamble to make anyway, but it by itself isn't evidence of a set up, they could just be passively suicidal if you prefer that to logically thinking about the fact that he will not get past the guards.

Yeah, I'm in a room with Trump and I'm the target. Sure lol. We all know who the target is. He doesn't have enough time and ammo for the whole class, his real target is getting away, he's slow, if you hurry you can maybe catch up...

Eh, more like 30 semi-randos, even if your average gun owning civilian is a better shot than average law enforcement officer that only quals once a year at best (which only applies to Police afaik, I do not know how rigorous the Secret Service is, I assume "more" but never know), that's still working in my favor just by odds. The interior wall, fair, but still, it had to be over pretty fucking quick, how many shots did he even get off? How far away does it sound? Those details would also play a role in my decision.

Lol it definitely helps! Cops just think I'm a nerd, and I am but I'm a nerd with illegal drugs ^the ^horror!

That's awesome, I still need a macro lens myself, and a telephoto, but it's so much money I'm gonna have to save up for them. That's ok though because I'm still learning how to really use it with the lens I have lol. I got a Fujifilm X-T4 with an 18-55mm 1.2-4f lens, got it used from KEH (online retailer, new iirc and used) to save a few bucks since I don't have Facebook Marketplace.

I like taking pictures of any animal I can get a good shot of and any cool mushrooms or flowers. I'm limited so far in that I can't get super close ups without the macro or telephoto lenses, but I haven't hit the lottery yet haha. Mostly lizards, snakes, turtles, and my/friend's pets lol. ~~I also used to write graffiti until the block got too hot,~~ (I never said that) so I also like a bit of "urbex" as they call it as well, or as I call it "trespassing around looking for good graff." I'm also trying to figure out a good spot near me to "bench," which is just railfanning for graffiti writers, waiting for trains to photo (looking for the graff on the freight cars, the railfans like the engines.) There's tracks 3min from my door but idk if they're rolling slow enough and I only hear them pass by at night, I need sunlight!

Just about the only thing I don't like photographing is people, mostly because idk how to and people are always "let me see, oh I don't like that one take another" and it becomes a whole thing. I'd like to find someone willing to help me practice but also feel creepy trying to ask, so I'll wait until that opportunity knocks, it will I'm sure.

Old scary movies aren't scary

Jump

ArcaneSlime @lemmy.dbzer0.com 1d ago

Counterpoint, Begotten is unsettling enough to be kinda scary.

But actually I like "scary movies" not because "scary" but because "Monsters, Magick, Aliens, Kaiju, and Slashers are fun." Simply gore, torture porn, or jump scares just don't do it for me, I need an element of whimsy. I'll take Leprechaun in the Hood, or Jason X, or Killer Clowns from Outer Space, or The Thing, or Godzilla Vs Biolante, or The Blob, or even Attack of the Killer Tomatoes and Maximum Overdrive, before Hostel or Saw.

Said it before about the guy eating soup and I'll say it again, I wouldn't have moved either unless he made it in the room. No fucking way he was making it past all the security and even if he did, I'm not the target, I'll give him the ol' "he went that-a-way."

"Fucking awesome" is a little far though lol, didn't at least one guy die/get shot in the line of duty?

Shit, I'm a hiker and didn't even know it! I can work with that lol. Sometimes there is a paved path at the location though, but you have to go off the path to see anything cool.

Tbh I can understand the gamers too, it is fun to do and with the online factor it can be social, more so than the woods ime tbh. Some games are basically a book you can play, like Morrowind. I think it'd probably be good for them to get out yeah but I'm not gonna judge them too hard, and that's all I ask in return.

Still glad I got the camera though, not just because it helps cut the awkwardness but also it is just fun taking pics of cool shit and cute cats, the "not being judged" part is just a bonus really.

Ah lol I see. Yeah I can see how that would be a problem.

The editor is specifically trying to deceive at the behest of his masters if for nothing more than protecting his own pockets, but not individually it's mass campaigns and technically a true conspiracy (conspiracy means they "breathe together" when broken into root words, it doesn't have to be "fake" they just have to be working in concert, and they are, even before mentioning COINTELPRO.)

But if The Paranoid in question went to a protest, was facial scanned, filmed on an FBI drone with a FLIR camera from miles above, and snooped on with a Stingray because he brought his phone, and they saw him on APLRs going to and fro', they might be watching him individually to be fair. The editor doesn't know that of course, he only knows his role in the conspiracy, but that doesn't mean he's not connected in the distance and helped enable it. It's all connected.

Does it count as hiking without significant elevation? I always thought that was a defining factor but that would simplify things, until I meet a real hiker lmao then I'd be outclassed I'm sure. We've got hills but overall it's fairly flat around here, it's not like Colorado lol! Not that I'd be opposed to real hiking (I'd love to) it's just not feasible to do regularly for me.

But yeah I do phrase it as liking nature, but that only "works" when you meet others who do too, for people who just Playstation all day it's still "weird." Meanwhile I totally understand gaming even if I don't do it much anymore, rude! Lol, throwing a camera in the mix makes even those people "get" it so far ime.

I'll be honest if I were him I'd be like "don't worry the guards'll get him" unless he was in the room. There's no way he was getting anywhere with that plan. Besides I'm probably not the target, if he does get by them I'll hit him with a "he went that-a-way" and slurp, honestly 70/30 I'll be fine.

Can't stand spiders (beyond like Daddy Long Legs, I don't squish spiders, but also keep them away from me lol) but I feel you, "walking through the woods looking for cool bugs and mushrooms and lizards and shit" usually earns me odd looks until I mention "I also smoke weed there."

Actually that's a big reason I finally bought a camera I'd been eyeing but couldn't justify the cost, so I would look less weird to anyone I tell my hobbies or happen to pass near a trail. I debated on a bear suit (jk lol), settled on a purpose that is seen as "normal" instead. More expensive but what can ya do I don't wanna look creepy or deal with judgement from people who only "phone" and think lizards are weird. Good cover for the cops too, since my usual cover is illegal still.

Wish I'd gotten one years ago though, the phone robbed me of any will to take photos and somehow getting the camera brought it back, maybe it's just nostalgia from the advent of Digital Photography but whatever it is I'm glad I found it again.
