Starting to get that Stain treatment, I see. I was wondering how long it would take urban activists and the like.

The original ruling showed pretty plainly that the overall compensation easily matched or exceeded their opponent's offer. This judge must believe a bulk payment means more, or he's an idiot.

Making it up? Lemme tell you a secret:

If you want to fight this the easiest way is to blow the man up into legend status. Create a martyr. Play their game. Imo at least.

About six years ago on Reddit I asked "Why can we not do this thing??" and the response was "because the money will not like you".

I dunno, guys, seems like we should start wielding the old chaos flames.

So I'm not into firearms. Guns aren't reaaally my thing. However, I imagine with quality material you need a larger silencer for a larger caliber, or a modified design to rapidly reduce pressure. It stands to reason then that with a design less capable of withstanding that pressure, you must then compensate with a larger design even at lower calibers. Someone correct me if I'm wrong, though this then stands to reason that even a .22 would need a much larger design, or a modified design which would by nature increase noise via gas release.

That said, a silencer doesn't silence, it reduces. If he was as prepared as we think he was, he'd know that.

I was suspicious the instant they called out the 3D printed "ghost gun". While certainly possible, it was waaay too convenient an excuse given how that may have swung some opinions about gun safety and control. Now they're rushing this.

Keep an eye out for thinly veiled attempts at obfuscation.

It will always be this way because people have opinions and perspectives. The two best ways to lessen infighting is by having a simple and common end goal. The second is a leader. Find both of these and I guarantee people will follow.

It's always been that way and will always be that way. The point isn't to stop the infighting entirely, it's to work in such ways as to reduce the impact it has on the goals we should be striving to achieve. Namely a better world for everyone.

And here we see a wild idiot attempt to defend his territory from what he believes are those attempting to encroach and settle. This young user will sit upon his rock making sharp noises and gesticulating wildly, hoping that it will intimidate the other males. Notice though once challenged, its noises become frantic and though it draws in air to become larger, the older more experienced members of its species see the bluff. This reduces its chances of finding a mate significantly.

This is similar shit I pull in strategy games. Nevermind sending out armies, imma undermine their economy, kill their morale, and convert their officers. Only then would I, if this fails, consider sending in troops.

We live in an age of unprecedented information exchange. Boots on the ground isn't how war is fought anymore.
