Bro, did you not hear? One of the nurses was a QT3.14, he didn't get her digits, and she probably thinks he's highly regarded, but he saw her. Surely that counts for something
Either you don't get it or you're being intentionally obtuse.
Education is kind of required for a democracy to function effectively in this new age of global communication. Where previously every village had an idiot, now every idiot has a village, And without good education and good critical thinking, this is an expanding and compounding problem.
As such, democracy is doomed and societies that are spiraling will continue to spiral until whatever else forms, forms
I'm guessing some sort of dystopian oligarchy, since society's in this state seem to be incapable of not handing over land wealth, power and decision-making control to just a few wealthy individuals.
Dangerous people are identified as a young age and are placed in a virtual reality where they can do no harm and live out their narcissists fantasies, and we don't have to deal with them.
how do you define dangerous? what's the cut off point? is stealing a water bottle from a homeless person the same as tealing it from walmart? same item technically
IMO its not about the item, but the intent. I know we're getting into hypotheticals and rhetoricals, but IMO, the line is doing anything that causes harm to another living being without feeling remorse.
Stealing a water bottle from a megacorp doesn't harm anybody. Stealing a water bottle from a homeless person can mean life or death.
I saw it pre-gamergate (pre-elevatorgate even)) in skeptic groups, making fun of "immune strenghtening exercises", meaning you expose yourself to germs on purpose and it was supposed to boost your immune system in the long run, not needing vaccines at all.
This guy thinking real life works by rpg rules where blocking or being hit slowly raises your defense stat.
If this idiot had gone from... a .22 pellet ... skipped over .22short, skipped over .22lr... and gone to .223?
Thats a fucking necked, rifle cartidge.
Something like 15x the energy in ft-lbs or joules than a .22 short.
He would have blown a good chunk of his leg off.
... Anybody ever see photos of the aftermath of when a SWAT squad is stacked up prior to a door breach, and one of em accidentally fires a round into the back of their buddy's knee?
You lose your fucking leg, amputated at the knee.
I could find and NSFW spoiler post the images I've seen, but I do not want to look up nor see that shit again.
The first sentence is a general description of this guy's approach to reality.
Everything after that is an explanation of a hypothetical scenario, meant to further illustrate the danger of this way of thinking.
...
It isn't a strawman.
A strawman is when you intentionally distort a person's argent or beliefs into a bastardized version that is easier to argue against or criticize.
Neither is this an attempt to... slander this person by spreading a false version of the story.
He obviously did not shoot a .223 into his leg at point blank, I never said he did, I in fact made it explicitly clear that this had not happened with the sentence I quoted.
If he had actually shot himself with a .223... best case scenario, he misses bone, and loses about a golfball of flesh.
If he had fired a .223 into his own leg and hit bone, the bone would have shattered and then torn up even more of muscle tissue... possibly necessitating an amputation.
And in really any of these scenarios, with any caliber, he's lucky he didn't hit his femoral or other major artery, because he could have bled to unconsciousness in 15 minutes or less, and then died.
...
But anyway, see how I used 'if,' in those above sentences about hypotheticals?
Yes, 'if' does in fact greatly modify a sentence's meaning... that is how English works.
I am not building a strawman to defeat.
I am laying out a hypothetical that shows what could have happened if his leg shot with a .22 short managed to be a through and through, or not cause him so much pain as to convince him to stop trying to buff his natural bullet resistance stat irl.
...
Entirely serious question: Have you not graduated high school, or maybe English is not your first language?
You don't seem to have very good reading comprehension; you are missing words and unable to parse a somewhat, but not very, complex sentence structure.
"His way of thinking wouldn't work because if he skipped a bunch of steps in his process, it would blow off his leg" isn't the great argument you think it is.
At no point did I attempt to make an argument going into why his way of thinking is fundamentally flawed.
I simply gave an example of what would happen if he had continued on his given path.
I'm sorry, but do you require an anatomy/biology/physics lesson as the only acceptable way to clown on an idiotic 4chan post?
Why do you insist on interpreting what I said as an 'argument', as if it ... isn't common fucking knowledge that shooting yourself with a gun is an extremely stupid idea?
... Are you the OP from this 4chan post?
Do you need to have it broken down, step by step, why shooting yourself with a gun, is going to permanently injure you, likely quite severely?
That there is no evidence to support the idea that shooting yourself with progressively higher caliber/grain coint cartridges is going to result in you gaining some kind of resistance to bullets?
Do you need to have it broken down, step by step, why shooting yourself with a gun, is going to permanently injure you, likely quite severely?
No, I mean the guy in the post demonstrates it pretty clearly. Going from 22 pellets to 22 short was basically going from "this won't maim you" to "this could kill you at close range". Could he have used something else between those energies to further develop a callous tough enough to stop a 22 short? Ehh probably not, but going on about how a 223 will blow off his leg isn't a good argument for why this method won't work. It's either a strawman or a non sequitor depending how you present it.
It's like you're making this argument: Paper will never stop a 223 bullet and here's why. 10 layers stopped a small pellet sure, and 50 layers stopped a 22 pellet. But if you just make it 100 layers and shoot it with a 223 then it will explode because a 223 is at least 100 times more powerful and that's only double the paper! No amount of paper could stop a 223.
Sure, but it could just as well have been dangerous to leave in. You must have serious issues to post on 4chan, so I'd say this story is at least plausible.
QuickTime 3.14. it's a really old media player from 1998. Unfortunately, I don't think version 3.14 specifically ever actually came out. We'll never really know what it would have been able to do because 4.0 came out instead. So I can see the appeal for him. Trying to use a 27 year old outdated media player that doesn't actually exist is a lot like repeatedly shooting yourself in the leg.
Actually it's 3.1415926535897932384626433832795028841971693993751058209749445923078164062862089986280348253421170679821480865132823066470938446095505822317253594081284811174502841027019385211055596446229489549303819644288109756659334461284756482337867831652712019091456485669234603486104543266482133936072602491412737245870066063155881748815209209628292540917153643678925903600113305305488204665213841469519415116094330572703657595919530921861173819326117931051185480744623799627495673518857527248912279381830119491298336733624406566430860213949463952247371907021798609437027705392171762931767523846748184676694051320005681271452635608277857713427577896091736371787214684409012249534301465495853710507922796892589235420199561121290219608640344181598136297747713099605187072113499999983729780499510597317328160963185950244594553469083026425223082533446850352619311881710100031378387528865875332083814206171776691473035982534904287554687311595628638823537875937519577818577805321712268066130019278766111959092164201989 and continuing
These glimpses into the world of the stupid and mentally ill are as fascinating as they are disturbing.
Bro, did you not hear? One of the nurses was a QT3.14, he didn't get her digits, and she probably thinks he's highly regarded, but he saw her. Surely that counts for something
he's just like me fr
She's in Canada, you wouldn't know her.
That's the joke
Regards
The writing is too coherent, it's 4chan stupid role play.
Which is still a sign of some mental illness, I'm sure.
Wouldn't you feel like a fool if'n this guy figured out the secret and was out there taking 50 cal rounds to the face.
I think he doesn't need a 50cal round to the face as his brain is already damaged enough.
If you take a 50 cal round to the face and walk away from it with only brain damage, you should enter the lottery
Phineas Gage would disagree
Reminds me of this:
God that's so fucking awesome lol, what a hero
*an hero
Haha no
The fuck, man?
He'd get faster results from eating really old watches.
Nah he'd probably just lose all his teeth and bones if he did that

I think the top picture is a banana with brown spots on it. And the bottom picture has the most obscene lighting I've ever seen.
I wonder what crayon flavor is his favorite
Strawberry
Is that the red or pink one?
Crayola has many colors but lead isn't one of them.
He has a strong career in the Marines in his future, for sure.
Lead most likely.
This is why democracy is doomed to failure.
what's the alternative? I'm actually curious
A good education system with good funding.
Education is an alternative to democracy?
Either you don't get it or you're being intentionally obtuse.
Education is kind of required for a democracy to function effectively in this new age of global communication. Where previously every village had an idiot, now every idiot has a village, And without good education and good critical thinking, this is an expanding and compounding problem.

I'm guessing some sort of dystopian oligarchy, since society's in this state seem to be incapable of not handing over land wealth, power and decision-making control to just a few wealthy individuals.
Someone asked what the alternative to democracy was. They answered "education".
Dictatorship, duh
The D or the D, you pick
algocracy could work, having tons of automated systems in the decision making process.
doesnt have to be ai, and there could be people involved too, but more machines isnt a bad idea
And use nanomachines to control the people!

You're way too overthinking this.
Democracy? We don't directly vote to choose our own way through life. We elect "representatives".
Why is the nurse still on Qt 3.14?
He should get her number to help her update. She'd probably be grateful.
It was the last one that was pure c++, before they started playing around with all this QML stuff
Because she's not a full gallon.
Technical debt; qt update in not a business priority and therefore not included in the KPIs
He took this old skeptic joke and ran with it.

... Yes, that is why I said:

Anon just moved too quickly. Avoid impatience when you’re doing important work like this, or else you’ll squander months of effort.
They don't dig the bullets out usually because it causes more damage for no reason. Stop believing everything you read someone say on 4chan.
