@mrmattimation I think they straight make a S'mores one called S'mores, too.
-
@adiwan Mostly the seasonal novelty and the fact of supporting the Scouts. They're all fine and good, but like Matt said, they're not exactly *exclusive* in any real way.

Trump courts controversy after he lifts restrictions on owning slaves, a decision which some have called “a cause for concern”, while others have dismissed the controversy. Sen. Marco Rubio took to Twitter earlier today to criticize Democrats in Congress and the media for putting the spotlight on this issue, ignoring the President’s many accomplishments elsewhere.

Samoas are Coconut Dreams. You get the idea.

Thin Mints in particular are sold by Keebler under the name “Grasshoppers”.

@scribus Pro tip from retail management: Girl Scout cookies in many parts of the country are made in the same factories as Keebler cookies (Keebler simply licenses they name) and are, in fact, largely the same as their Keebler counterparts.

@mrmattimation I mean we might as well run on the internal logic of an NBC Thursday night drama

O Lord, the Girl Scout cookies...

bye bye Britain

Do love it when a customer walks by blasting some crackpot podcast on his phone about how Adam Schiff faces “up to 35 years in federal prison” for... being a member of a committee that impeached the President. Oy.

@nerthos And handguns are easier to do spinny tricks with

That’s not to say it was uneven, I just wasn’t keeping very good count because I was focused on firing my own gun

@nerthos Nah the guy with the mag belt wasn’t using a rifle, it was a handgun, and by my count each magazine had between 15 and 18 shots.

@adiwan I can vouch for the last bit, a perfect example is the marvel cape movies. They look just fine on tv or a cinema screen, but look at scenes in >1080 60fps on a high DPI cellphone screen and the actors look awkward, movement looks cartoony and poorly acted, you can notice the weird physics from cable pulls and all that.
-
@scribus The longer guns tend to be easier, mostly because they're heavier and you have the sights farther away from eachother, as well as better grip. I remember my cousin taking about how he couldn't hit anything with handguns but had no issues with a FAL. Handguns do have the advantage in quick target aquisition since they don't require you to focus your vision as much.
-
@mrmattimation That's about 250 rounds downrange assuming they're 30 round mags loaded to 28, it's not a lot for proper practice. Most people who take it seriously will do 200-300 once in a while. It doesn't cost too much if reloading the cases. Semi-auto rifles eat through ammo really fast so going to the range with only a mag or two means you'll run out of fun in minutes.
-
@scribus At least it's ending on its own terms and doesn't fade into obscurity or turn into something to be hated.
-
@mrmattimation But what of your POLITICS!?!?!?

Just got out of Star Wars Episode IX. I found myself grinning like an idiot a lot. Good movie.
-
the whole experience did sort of underscore everything i believe about that sort of thing though, there was a guy with an AR-15 in the booth next to me and a guy with eight(!!!!!) magazines on his belt in the other booth, and it made me SUPREMELY uncomfortable
-
i always thought guns were very very very very very cool though, so i guess nothing changed

@scribus thanks, haha. it was fun. i might go back. maybe that makes me a bit of a hypocrite given how preachy i've gotten both online and irl about the need for stringent gun control but whatever

i hate hate hate hate hate hate hate adobe after effects and every time i have to use it for a cartoon i want to find whatever sick, twisted bastard created this godforsaken torture software and smother him with a pillow.

@mrmattimation Certainly good enough that I'd duck
-
@scribus Rented from the range. I think I did okay (it was my first time even holding a gun) though the farthest I shot was seven yards so I definitely wouldn't have won any awards or anything like that http://rainbowdash.net/url/875433
