re: firearms, law, politics, current events, probably a deeply unpopular view 

@kistaro I'm starting from the presumption of provocation because of the mentioned pointing, Rittenhouse "sarcastically" admitting to pointing his gun at people, etc.

re: firearms, law, politics, current events, probably a deeply unpopular view 

@kistaro Oh and the bit about ordering people out of a car while holding his hands to his gun is straight from Rittenhouse himself. On video from last year admitting to it. Don't have the link handy though.

@kistaro There's non-drone photos of the same moment as well, shown in court. It's from farther away than the usual social media video shown, and blurry. But the silhouette of a shouldered rifle is clear.

The self defense claim is only valid if he had already exhausted all reasonable means of escape AND he was avoiding death or major bodily injury. He doesn't have any proof of the later since his pursuer is unarmed, and the former we'll disagree on but he didn't do.

When you're carrying a weapon that can put holes in people from 100+ yards away "retreat" gets nebulous. He's still a threat to the people chasing him.

firearms, law, politics, current events, probably a deeply unpopular view 

@kistaro WI law removes self defense as an option after unlawful conduct that a reasonable person would attack you over.

Say, pointing a rifle at them or another. Or ordering them out of a car with his hands on his gun. Which he did. Then he ran. But..

Before the shots were fired he turned and raised the rifle, which a reasonable person could conclude meant he wasn't retreating, just backing off for a better shot.

that said it's really funny that the Korean cover I found keeps the structure and rhythm of the song better than a lot of the English covers.

For a game that every time I've seen it played looks like something I would not at all enjoy, Warframe has pretty good music.

*Sleeping in the Cold Below* has been on repeat a lot tonight.

Hypothetical and Pointless Question, Media 

@Phorm Well "slow" haha. But it's just down tempo enough from the other version to be slightly menacing with the right context."What is even happening?!"

as opposed to the other two who are extremely "fuck subtle"

Hypothetical and Pointless Question, Media 

@Phorm For an over the top action scene or leading a group into a final charge? Can't beat March Of Cambredth.

Creepy scene where the opposition is picked off one by one until someone finally gets lucky? Glastyn Shanty

"What the actual fuck just happened?" chaos? Carameldansen. The slow version.

@ElectricKeet @mawr I think compound words tend to start with a hyphen and then if they remain in common use lose it

see also all the old time newspapers going "to-day.."

@mawr you left out non binary which would have made it non binary

At the sound of the gerp there will be the sound of a beep

@fudge_the_sphinx the last speculation isn't that far off considering what's on that diamond o.o

@Phorm complete with exaggerating the inciting incident as I can tell (well the pizza part anyway)

Oh and I have baaad news for a lot of em on what happens at "professional" conventions

*looks up reviews of small phones*

*top rated one is 6 inches*

what the actual...stauup. One handed phone user here please stop making me TF my hands bigger to use a phone :P

Town of Us satisfaction 

Oh that was sweet. Town of Us game, got the Sheriff role- you can shoot people but die if you hit a crewmate. Most of the time I don't get much done but this game oooh. :D

First round, only one person dies despite two hostile players. There's a fairly hard accuse, but there's also a Jester in play- who can win by getting falsely accused. So we pass. As the sheriff I follow the Jester, kill them, and immediately report.

The next round, I clear a teammate and as I'm following them around an Imposter kills them so I'm able to immediately dart in and kill the imposter, game over crew wins :D

(town is an among us mod)

Weird slightly disturbing find of the day: Some electricitcal protection clothing is rated in...calories.

@mawr is it just me or is the "empty your kids out" line making this feel like a horror movie thing

GIVE YOUR CHILD TO THE CORN

Nothing quote as amusing as getting mana flooded when playing vs a land destruction deck.
