Yeah about that.

I've noticed a lot of ammo being 'out of stock' at places when they're ok priced and never seem to get back in stock.

ETA: I noticed my go-to lately. In stock but quite a bit higher price.:

In some ways Im glad I got into guns after I grew up. It's bad enough getting in when the prices are high, but to have loved and lost... I couldn't take it. I get to live in a world where garands and mosins were always expensive, where magdumping 500 rounds of 9mm into trash costs as much as a date night with the wife. Ill never have to know what was taken from me.
 
Lol you have A/C? You, living in the failed state of Venezuela, a country whose most notable export is Old School RuneScape gold, mere days after suffering catastrophic earthquakes, are enjoying luxuries which the European mind cannot conceive of?
How do Europeans keep trudging through the hellish existence they've made for themselves?
Being ruled by marxist eurocrat niggerphiles that want to see their own people raped and replaced and they think is funny, is a far more destructive event than the average incompetent bloodthirsty beaner cartel goverment or Mother Nature's Wrath. I learned this after unlocking perks in the Empathy skill tree.

Ammo prices aren't all that bad really compared to inflation, but the eastern bloc SKS's, Nagants, and AKs will probably never be where they were again. For a brief period from after clinton until obama they were a 2-3 hundred for the good stuff. You used to be able to get Garands and so on from CMP for not much more too. Looked it up on google because the CMP wants you to sign up but looks like they're $1.150+ now. Insane.

On the 'up side' at least there's no AWB, standard mags for even Glocks were getting close to $150 towards the end.

And, even before the race really started it's 49/47 on this one:

Platner Has Slight Edge Over Collins in Tight Maine Senate Race, Poll Finds​

The Maine race, which both parties see as key to winning control of the Senate, is extremely close as the sprint to fall begins, a Times/Portland Press Herald/Siena poll found.

There's no better feeling than using your AC after a long day in the sun, currently sipping on a cup of hot chocolate as i bask in the GLORIUS winds of my AC, ngl i wept, i wept not just for the lives lost in the earthquakes but also for all those European lives lost in the sweatlocaust.
I’ve got a better one. Having AC to make your house 68 degrees while it’s 95 degrees outside and still sleeping with your winter blankets.

Eurocucks can seethe all they want but I have comfort year round that they’ll never experience in their lives
 
The AC thing just blows my mind. It's among the biggest quality-of-life improvements ever invented by human beings, and doesn't even come close to being the biggest contributor to any kind of pollution whatsoever. It literally stops people from dying when the weather gets nasty enough, helps keep hospitals more sterile, reduces the spread of irritants, allergens and pathogens, and literally makes the air you breathe cleaner when you're using it.

The knee-jerk agitation by europoors against AC is crazier to me even than the current idiot NPC trend of kvetching endlessly about "muh data centers" and their magical water-destroying powers (the local [insert any other industrial process whatsoever] plant uses much more water than any data center ever has). They really do fucking hate themselves and want to die. It's the most baffling thing in the world to me.

If you aren't suffering, you won't seek a solution. If you aren't seeking a solution, they can't force you to accept their solution. If they can't force you to accept their solution, you'll NEVER accept Socialism.

That's long and short of it. If you're comfortable in an Air Conditioned house, you are never going to listen to idiots going "it's hot cause we made the earth angry, you should gibs my friends money to make earth mother happy."

I personally find it more completely fucking absurd that the Yookay has little tinpot tyrant HOAs, only they run the entire city and can send the police to kill you if you disagree, determining what you're allowed to do with your own property.

KEK its hitting 90+ in my area soon and I'm gonna have that shit at 64F sleeping in full blankets w/ the fans on. Fuck the environment
 
So let me get this straight, American conservatives strive for a smaller government not controlled by Tech bro lizards. I point out Thiel, a tech bro lizard, is largely influential in getting Vance to VP and you sperg out about it? Why? Why in the fuck are you defending a billionaire influencing politics on that scale at all? Who gives a fuck about if it's Dem or Rep? I don't.

But no, you gotta sperg the fuck out and call me a commie instead because of the inconvenient truth that Vance is bankrolled by the Technocratic elite. It's like the one reaction you and a couple other people have here whenever some fact surfaces you don't like.




My problem is the "pay to win" aspect here, not Thiel or Soro, or Coke, or any other billionaire. I want big money OUT OF FUCKING ELECTIONS FOR EVERYONE.
I might not know a ton about Thiel, but from what I do know, it seems like him and Soros are opposite sides of the same coin, and they both seem to have radically different people that they support.

I am no fool, I know that the rich (Including Thiel, Soros, and even Trump himself) don't really give a shit about me... But the things Soros has openly pushed for are literally always against my best interests, but there have been multiple times so far where the things Trump- and I guess by extension Thiel, supports (presumably for their own gain, but it doesn't really matter why to me) align with my interests, this has literally *never* been the case with Soros, and has almost always been the opposite. There might not be a good answer here... But you will never convince me that Soros and his ilk are the best choice.

If you are being genuine here in what you are saying, then I actually do agree with you. In a perfect world, they all kind of suck... But what is your alternative? You *are* being a commie. Because that is the end result of what you are endorsing. Why would I ever vote for a commie?
 

Trump tries out midterms message that focuses on ‘communists’​

Can the administration just focus on jobs and the economy? I hate communists but this message only resonates with boomers, not young people or independents. Young people don't fear communists and in-fact, embrace them because they see them as the solution to the wealth inequality and cost of living crisis currently in America. For these people, capitalism has failed them and they can't buy a house or start their lives. Screaming about Red Scare 2.0 does nothing to motivate the people republicans need to win the midterms. Trump gambled and lost of Iran regarding inflation and now doesn't know or care how to fix it because 'stock market up six gorillion points'. In order for capitalism to succeed, you need to show people that it can produce a life and currently thats not happening when companies outsource fast food jobs and white collar positions to jeets.

I'm pretty sure he will but what he is doing here is trying to do a double bind trap for the Dems.

Basically he is forcing the Dems to deny they are communist and get their fringe hard left section pissed of (which just won a bunch of primary's) or accept it and scare off a bunch of normies.

Peter Thiel is directly responsible for the pantsing and destruction of Gawker Media (thanks to funding Hulk Hogan's lawsuit against them), and indirectly for getting the people running it to admit, in court and under oath while on the witness stand, to admit they would happily run child pornography on their media sites if they thought they could get away with it and if it would make them money, in one of the single most humiliating defeats and deepest ego wounds ever to be delivered to the press in the modern day.

That single act helped push back against wokeness harder than most things have (besides electing and re-electing Trump).

He openly declared his hatred for the press and kicked them in the balls so hard an entire media organization up and died from it. He is the enemy of the press (and successfully acted on it), which makes him a friend of mine.

Soros he is not, and I consider this a very good thing.

Utterly intolerable for the Lego gun. To think there's so many cheap novelty stendos for the thing now, and men used to wander the streets of this country offering to suck dick for one measly magazine. It's a good time to be a novice shooter.

India's got it bad too, any time I tell a scam caller "doin' good, chilling in my AC, nice and cool, you cool?" they instantly hang up

Local European governments are what HOA haters think every HOA is. Councils make even the strictest HOA look like ancapistan.

Good. The fact that they stand a real chance of dropping dead with their shriveled balls stuck to both legs mid-pitch isn’t proof of a just universe, but it’s a step in the right direction
