Internet Wizard posted:I dunno, that loses the meaning of black where it’s a state of panic or otherwise being in a state that’s too keyed up to be able to act effectively Unless the training involves stress inoculation and how to manage the transition to a panicked state, it's not really worthwhile to talk about it because there's nothing you can do at that point.

If your training doesn’t at least address the existence of pants making GBS threads, can’t actually function levels of panic then it still has gaps. The last time I did an active shooter class it had parts about the fact that even if you’re not in full on code black the people around you may be.

It was explained pretty well, which I probably failed to get across, there just wasn't a separate name or level number for it.

There's something funny about getting all pedantic about color coding threat levels in a racism thread and having "black" be the worst case scenario level. edit Midjack made a similar joke and I'm getting  .

It's the trappings (and the implication that your very normal life requires *constant vigilance*) that open the idea up to ridicule, but honestly if someone suggested "hey, it's good to be more aware and mindful, especially in public", it would be a lot less controversial. The example that always springs to my mind is realizing I've arrived in my driveway with zero awareness or memory of the last ten minutes of driving. Oops! Thank you, really. I'll read this.

Oops! poo poo, you know how I know that the multiverse theory of the universe is real? Because this will happen while I'm on the freeway, and I just KNOW for a fact that in half of those parallel universes, I died ten minutes ago because I lost attention of my driving. It's a miracle that I'm still alive somehow.

It’s possible that you didn’t stop paying attention during that time, you just stopped being conscious during that time. Technically your brain is more efficient at reacting to stimuli in a flow state, you just don’t necessarily have total control over how your body reacts. So you didn’t die in all of those realities, you just temporarily stopped existing as a conscious being!

There a process where your brain deletes experiences that aren't notable shortly after they occur because they hold no value in being turned into episodic memories which accounts for some of that just before you get too worried about your safety while driving. You may not have been zoned out and it's a miracle you got home, your brain may have just tossed it as useless

It's the same reason it's so hard to remember if you locked the door on your way out. It's something you've done a thousand times before, so your brain quickly discards the memory. And just doing it in a slightly different way makes it possible to remember.

I don't think I've seen people talk about it before, but Rob Ski posts some pretty gross stuff on his youtube page. He just posted one about the derek chauvin trial telling people to "stay safe" while his followers talk about gearing up to shoot black people and being generally racist. A generous reading of that could say he's telling people to generally stay safe about potential unrest, but the fact that he's letting people talk about how ready they are to murder black people speaks volumes. He's said a lot of other really questionable things in the past as well if you dig through his posts. https://www.youtube.com/post/UgyYDxxl10Z9BAVcBq94AaABCQ

He has a lot of really informative content and does some real solid testing (and it was entertaining watching him dunk on IO lol) but he's gone pretty mask off. I was even thinking about buying some parts from his store at one point, but I'll take my money elsewhere.

Here's what I'm currently subscribed to and bother to check out at least semi-regularly. If there's someone here I should dig deeper into, please let me know, as at least two people on this list get a buck a month or so from me on Patreon. 22 Plinkster (though IIRC, someone earlier in this thread was bothered by him having associations with Henry Repeating Arms) a.amantine (assuming you don't take issue with NVG pig hunting) Kirsten Joy Weiss (kinda click-bait-y, but generally very pleasant and positive) She Equips Herself (caveat: very new-shooter focused) Mrgunsngear (does more with politics than I'd like, but I haven't spotted any red flags) If you're willing to add in air gun content: Air Arms Hunting SA (not a "shithead" problem, but he does hunt animals you don't typically see hunted on similar channels, like hyraxes and some variety of monkey) Ted's HoldOver Also, I assume that "Silencer Smooth" coffee just makes the coffee-induced bowel movements faster but quieter.

Any thoughts on Mark Novak from the Anvil gunsmithing series? His channel was an off-shoot of C&Rsenal. There doesn’t seem to be anything that jumps out in any of his content, but I’ve seen him doing a bunch of stuff, perhaps off-camera with IV8888. I find a lot of his videos to be fascinating and he seems to be very knowledgeable, but there’s something about him that seems like he could be problematic.

I love Hunting Gear guy, he's really Canadian focused in content, but is non-lovely IMO as politics never comes up, except when it does... At the very least when he complains about the government laws and stuff at most its a 5 second soundbite that doesn't detract from the focus of his content which is guns.

If he does have lovely opinions, he keeps them mostly private. The IV8888 connection is both C&Rsenal and IV8888 are youtube gun channels based in the south, so they're chummy on a mostly professional level (with the exception of Kevin, who as far as I understand is just someone who works at their gunshop and occasionally makes video appearances but isn't a 'main' part of the crew?). With Mark it's even less than that, because he's legitimately just a gunsmith and the video he did with IV8888 was doing a repair job for them

What makes IV8888 so lovely, apart from his poo poo business practices? (He outright has a price sheet for buying how good of a product review you want.) The dude sucks but I've never heard of him actually saying anything racist and he has stated that he would not have put 8888 in the channel name if he'd known the implcations.

Rails against the “woke” military, loves cops, says trans rights are a sign of moral and scientific decline of the USA, suggests covid relief bill is a ploy to send money to other countries by immigrant legislators, supports voter suppression, posts about how sad it is Rush Limbaugh died since Rush was the one telling the truth, etc. So yeah. He’s real bad. Even if the 8888 truly was a coincidence, he’s just lovely as hell.

Dude is anticom as hell, being a staunch right-libertarian. But you are correct that he rarely brings it up unless he's provoked, and he keeps it to a short distasteful joke when he is provoked. Anticom jokes are still pretty chud territory though. But also beggars can't be choosers when it comes to cancon. I enjoy 32icon for a vastly different perspective from my own. She's apolitical and usually showcases a sort of firearm ownership that's pretty foreign to me, so it's something I appreciate. And yes Tacticool Girlfriend goes without saying, she's kind of the antidote to the thoroughly chud Garand Thumb. E: Milsurp World is apolitical, and while not quite the same tier as Forgotten Weapons or C&Rsenal, he does fill in some gaps. Jehde fucked around with this message at 06:42 on Apr 21, 2021 |

Not related to gun tubers I know nothing about - I've known a lot of 88 screen names from people who use their year of birth for their numbers. John born in 88 becomes BigJohn88. So I always keep that in mind when I see a thirty-something year old with that at the end of their name. Like we've said many times before in this forum - context, context, context.
