Captain Monkey posted:No, he was saying it because Texas lost power for a few days due to the polar vortex. It was absolutely a huge tragedy and a failure of our infrastructure and needs to be addressed, but it was not a Mad Max scenario. I actually said a situation in which Texas lost power for months, as credible reporting has said we were minutes away from due to a catastrophic grid failure before they shut half the state down. That strawman you've built looks good though. I mean if you've gone through the past year and seen our countries response to a pandemic, an election, and a winter storm and you think things can never get Iraq-like here, especially with climate change seriously ramping up just lol Edit: have a hopeful tweet: https://twitter.com/collieennis/status/1363863655150927888?s=19 D-Pad has a new favorite as of 01:41 on Feb 23, 2021 |

Goddamn D-Pad you sound like you're salivating for an excuse to shoot someone. A gun ain't gonna stop you from freezing to death. And I don't think you're gonna be hunting a lot of game in the suburbs. In a months long blackout I'd much rather be on good terms with my neighbors, and I say this as a gun owner.

In one of the STALKER games there's a treasure you can find that you get clues about called the "Stalker's Retirement Fund", the rumours tell you it's enough treasure and supplies to keep you comfortable for the rest of your life. You have to fight mercenaries and monsters to get to it. It's a bottle of vodka, a pistol and a single bullet.

And I don't think you're gonna be hunting a lot of game in the suburbs. In a months long blackout I'd much rather be on good terms with my neighbors, and I say this as a gun owner. It's getting a bit ridiculous all the motivations and words being assigned to me that I've never said. Are all your guns for hunting? Any for self defense? I own no guns for self defense, they are all hunting guns for deer and dove, which I hunt every year. I don't keep any guns in my house because I don't hunt from my house. I expressed one desire in another thread to keep weapons in my house due to just having gone through a natural disaster in which our government completely and utterly failed us and used a generator as an example of something that might make my family and I a target in a situation that was drastically worse than what happened this past week. I further qualified I believed the chances of a disaster such as that were unlikely and probably not worth preparing for. Captain Monkey followed me to another thread and portrayed me as some crazed gun nut who wants to shoot people. Let me state clearly and plainly, I would not shoot somebody over a generator. Full stop. Having a weapon for self defense is not the same thing as shooting somebody over personal property. The merits can be debated about whether it is even a good idea to have one for self defense and I respect anybody who feels differently. I do cooperate with my neighbors. I did cooperate with them when their pipes burst last week and we still had water. I had others stay at my house when their power was out. I believe cooperation is the proper course of action, but there was a discussion about the subject and I merely pointed out that there are examples in extreme situations where cooperation will break down on an intergroup level if not an individual one, which is objectively true. I discussed preppers, derided the crazy ones, and noted that I wasn't "buying survival buckets of food or whatever but definitely filling out my basic emergency supplies cache." Carnotaurus had the right of it and then Captain Monkey came in again and assigned a motivation to me that was objectively false. Anyway https://twitter.com/Sneakiestsnakee/status/1338551415288057859?s=20

D-pad, I’ve been in both threads for a long time. I was just laughing that you came in here to doomsday prepper in this thread too. You literally said you wanted a gun to protect your generator. It’d be less embarrassing if you just owned it. That said, you seem to be upset so I’m gonna stop poking the multi page screed dude who’s looking to buy a gun.

Captain Monkey posted:D-pad, I’ve been in both threads for a long time. I was just laughing that you came in here to doomsday prepper in this thread too. I did not literally say I wanted a gun to protect my generator. In response to someone posting a Texas Tribune article about the Texas grid almost failing and being down for months I said: D-Pad posted:I can't even imagine how bad it would be if the whole state lost power for months. I'm using this to convince my wife to finally let me have some guns in the house "We have a generator. what do you think happens when the power has been out for weeks and we are one of the only people with one?" As in, having a generator and having power when others don't in this situation makes us a target. Nowhere in that post did I say anything about shooting somebody trying to take my generator. You read that motivation into and then followed me into another thread putting words in my mouth. I also didn't come into this thread and start a prepper conversation. Others had started discussing the merits of prepping vs cooperation and I joined in the discussion. I'm upset because you have created a strawman of me and goaded others into attacking me for things I never said. For example, you corrected somebody with: Captain Monkey posted:No, he was saying it because Texas lost power for a few days due to the polar vortex. When I clearly stated I was talking about a situation in which the power was off for months D-Pad has a new favorite as of 05:37 on Feb 23, 2021 |
