I think it’s important enough to note, there’s no evidence showing this was the plan in any Soviet campaign in WW2. (But this is based off memory so there could be a single digit number of times)

In WW1? That would be accurate. Say what you will about Soviets but weapons were something they could produce and properly supply unlike the tsar.

In the Ukraine war though you are probably correct.

I can go point by point in his comment, but the core issue I am point out applies to all of it. We have the laws to have prevented this, we have the tools needed to stop so many mass shootings. But the overwhelming majority of the time cops don’t enforce the laws, they’re either incompetent, lazy or refuse to do the job they signed up for.

You can have every law in the world, you can have the best piece of legislation that perfectly outlines and covers every single possibility, but if nobody enforces it you don’t have shit.

Guns in society can exist just fine, they already are one of the smallest types used in Violent crimes, we can repeal the NFA and get back fully automatic weapons and still be safe if we could have a functioning police force that enforces the laws that matter instead of revenue generating ones.

It’s amazing how much you have typed just to completely ignore the entire point of my argument. Please get some reading comprehension.

This article is terrible, Maine has yellow flag laws, which is a much more constitutionally acceptable version of red flag laws. the family did what they were supposed to do, it seems likely (they won’t talk about it) that the cops once again won’t do their jobs and because of that even more people died.

We already have the laws needed to prevent the majority of mass shootings but unless we get better cops no law will meaningfully help and tyrants will use this as an excuse to just get rid of guns rather than maintain rights, not alienate half the country and actually solve the other underlying problems.

Yeah, our cops are horrible and legal system ain’t great either.

What we know so far, the guy was also committed to an asylum for hearing voices telling him to kill people.

Seems like yet another failure of people not doing their jobs yet again.

I’m fairly fresh into act 3, just did the shadowheart part and man, that was heavy.

Definitely gonna be doing a new play though with my opposite choices though.

I do gotta say, I’m enjoying the challenge of tactician but man does my lvl 11 monk suck and is just so squishy, anyone got any recommendations to strengthen her up to take more than 2 hits?

Karlach, 100%, she starts to grow more in act 3 too, though shadowheart does the whole story.

Maybe not 100% of the time but at least 80-90% of the time it’s always the police, or DA failing to do their job properly. If you’re pending a felony trial you cannot own/buy guns until you’re proven innocent, and they should be confiscated. I cannot imagine how this man would not be chargeable.

Similar goes for many shootings, they plea down to a lesser charge or the cops just don’t do their job and let go obvious crimes.

Here’s what I’ve done when attempting at my workplace via the postal workers union.

Get in contact with an organizer, they are there to help guide you or who ever wants to be the main leader of this effort. I will say, as the lead organizer in my attempt, it’s just talking a lot, and getting people to a meeting, it kinda sucks but isn’t a huge ordeal to do, and takes maybe 2 hours in a busy week.

I went through the AFL-CIO website aflcio.org/formaunion and filled out my information, during my major attempt it took half a week to get in contact with an organizer, though it could take a bit longer.

You’ll get in contact with an organizer and they’ll get a rundown of your workplace and what it looks like.

After that there’s about an hour’s worth of training to know your rights and what works for your union.

Then you’ll be pretty much ready to go to start talking with coworkers to try and get an organizing committee (10% of your workplace) which will be your main coworkers who should be all about the idea, after that 10% then you’ll start convincing everyone in your workplace and soon after that collect signatures.

Then you’ll go to an election, sadly I do not have much information to get beyond here as the movement fell apart in my workplace during signatures due to a weak organizing committee.

Hope this helps ya out and if you want any additional information I’m happy to share, we need more unions especially in IT!

I’ve asked the same thing to my organizer and it was basically telecom is the closest to it under the AFL-CIO umbrella, and i believe he said they may end up getting an IT specific union once enough get unionized.

As everyone else has said if you feel like the speed is fine, stick with it, but before you upgrade your next GPU maybe up that CPU next. I’d recommend going with any AMD X3D CPU that should help your performance the most and maybe it’ll be your next 12 year old CPU if you go x800x3d or higher

The most famous victims of all, armed men in broad daylight with firearms.

Love that most of the world’s governments came together and said “collective punishment is bad, we should make it illegal during times of war” and shit like this can still fly within any first world country.

Why wouldn’t we? The PS5 is already 3* years old, most cycles are around 7 years

I’ve seen phone games look better

Imma say it, he’s kinda based, evades taxes and “illegally” owns guns, free my boy.

if only they were this serious about actually completing their “new” “game”

Glad I haven’t played a cod game in years.

There’s already a report button if someone has an issue with it let them report it, this is just going to lead to a ton of false positives or be completely useless.

I’m someone who studies history a lot.

Everything you said could be replaced with 1910-14 as the current year and you’d be pretty close to prevailing opinions of the day.

Wars need men. Well trained men ideally, but he who has the numbers usually wins.

In WW1 It took 3-6 months to churn through the professionals, in WW2 I don’t recall off hand but we’re looking at months. In Vietnam it did take 5 years yes, but that’s not the kind of war that Europe is or should be preparing for. In Ukraine it seems likely to be around 9 months, for Russia at least (unless you’re paratroopers then 3 days).

Outside of huge technological and leadership gaps you need the bigger army to win and that’s why conscription is the necessary evil.
