Genuine question, how accurate are Tazers? If the partner was in a headlock, was there any risk of tazering the wrong person while the gum was more accurate?
Speaking independently of the story- Not very by comparison to firearms. Something like 50% less accurate. There’s also the issue that tasers will not always incapacitate someone. That’s a gamble if someone has a weapon and the range to use it.
Part of the rationale in using a firearm is the need to body someone before they can use a weapon where non lethal methods are just not as effective.
Of course, when you investigate yourself you will always find that you used your firearm in the appropriate situational context.
Yes, I have. And I don’t want to choose every detail of a performance no matter how simple.
I want to hear a performance independent of my own experience. I want to hear something that I didn’t know I wanted.
AI can only show you an elaborate mixture of the data it was trained on and a set of instructions. It cannot make decisions, iterate on experiences, or have creatively beneficial mistakes like a human does.
You’re looking at an audiobook as if it’s only a method of distributing the contents of a book, but a human conveying a story is a performance. Those performances have artistic merit. Sometimes more, sometimes less, different take aways for different listeners, however it’s an inherent symptom of a human being sharing something.
This is where it gets important to remember that Machine Learning isn’t actually AI. It cannot make decisions or have accidents outside of mistakes made by the developers. It is not intelligent, it is a computer program.
I’m not judging, I’m genuinely curious. The reason why I’m asking is because in this sort of games I like to make the character resemble me as much as possible in every aspect, so I’m just curious to know what is the motivation behind men that decide to play as a female character.
If you’re doing it for shock value it’s banal. If you’re doing it because you envy the dead, it’s funny. It has to be funny. Because otherwise you’ve given in completely to pure misery.
But you seem to want to extrapolate more from my short comment.
I’m not anti gun at all. Might even have a few. However, having attended a rural public school I know many of my former teachers are a lot like my neighbors. Dumb, irresponsible bullies. Not all of them, but it’s not an uncommon deal.
In the end, it’s not that I think most people are dumb, just that people are people and we are our own weakest link. We’re the least reliable part of a system.
And yeah, we often implement things in the most pants shittingly stupid way possible. Especially when it’s something born or of a culture built and nurtured as a political tool.
Really, FFS, have some respect for what you’re arguing against.
Appreciate the cooler response, despite that we started by snipping at each other.
I can’t say I have the answers, but I figure it’s a start, along with greater oversight and accountability. Doing better with general education helps build more people with common sense. Better mental healthcare. Better emotional education. Gun laws that are actually common sense about restrictions without being sweeping and mindless. A more common sense gun culture.
Injecting more guns just feels like a simple answer to a complex question that doesn’t hold up to scrutiny. That just creates more unpredictable factors, which isn’t something you ever want when you’re trying to secure a situation.
We’re so culturally and infrastructurally damaged that we can barely implement any solutions. I don’t know what fixes that.
