As opposed to the secret stroke beam that gets you a meeting with HR.

Semi-automatic is a specific type of action where after firing, the bolt removes the spent case and chambers the next round without further manual input from the operator as would be required in lever actions, bolt actions, etc.

Well, semi-automatic also interrupts the action so it only gives one shot per trigger pull, versus burst mechanisms or fully automatic.

So as for what is not a semi-automatic? Any gun requiring manual operation to clear the spent case and chamber a new round or can fire more than one round per trigger pull.

The Purple Heart is an American military medal for those wounded in combat.

I’d dispute that. Single action is a specific type of system.

Guns… are specifically dedigned to kill people

Damn, dude! Better not learn about HEMA or fencing. Shit may give you an aneurism.

Fuck you (midwest), fuck you (south), fuck you (mid-atlantic), you’re cool (maine), i’m out.

I thought this one was going to be the one about mermaid bone farming.

I appreciate your forthrightness, and on many points we quite agree, notably noone’s keen to leave and that the current charged atmosphere around the war does chill honest representation of one’s ideals.

That said, while this particular war was the result of Hamas and their October 7 attack, I believe that if not them, some other group would “lead the charge” maybe it would have been more of a single flashpoint or a series of smaller skirmishes, but conflict was (and continues to be) inevitable under the circumstances that Palestinians and Israelis live in.

I want to inquire further on your take that Israeli buffer zones are the land theft so demonized by the anti-Zionists. We see the expansion of the buffer zone in Syria as a landgrab because any security buffer sufficient for defense against the Assad regime should be more than enough, especially when paired with Israeli strikes on weapons caches and bases in Syria. The more puzzling point, though, is the establishment of new settlements and growth of existing settlements in the West Bank even as recently as this week.

Weren’t they the ones touting their ‘largest warchest ever’ sometime around Harris taking up the mantle last year?

Arent the space fascists human, though?

My sincerest condolences. Watching him sounds like torture.

Yah, I’ll start believing he’s not in when his pallbearers carry him out. Otherwise it’s performative separation.

My fellow Americans, ‘CPS’ here refersto the ‘Crown Prosecution Service’ and does not necessarily implicate the Tates of that more evil crime associated with Child Protective Services.

The more you know. ~☆

So I know with a rather high degree of certainty I’m ace, but I continue to have trouble untangling aromanticism from my aversion to people and mild paranoia.

Yes it doesn’t exist, but the idea that it could exist and be unknown to an American tourist is not terrifically remote. Sorry if I wasn’t clear enough.

I make no claims for the base knowledge of any of my countrymen - they will make a fool of me if I try. But the distance between ~Donaghadee in N.I. and Portpatrick in Scotland is roughly the same between Dover and Calais.

Not knowing the geographic or hydrological factors of either area, it doesn’t seem to me to be much more impossible a feat than the chunnel was.

You live in a world with the chunnel. The odds that a similar passage between islands formerly of the same empire is not so remote.

Maybe you just missed it by a few pixels - did you try again, but more carefully?

So round!
