I do not have the bayonet. We had it when it was my father's but somehow when it got to me the bayonet was gone. I do have the cleaning rod.

Ah, that sucks.

D'you ever do reenactments?

That's something I really want to try.

Nah I used to do SCA. A reenactment buddy wanted to buy her off me but 4 generations of men in my family have owned this rifle so no.

Oh yeah. You don't get rid of something like that.

That there is a priceless heirloom.

What's SCA?

SCA=Society for Creative Anachronisms ie. guys in armor hitting each other. I have a co-worker who does the modern combat-sport version of it who wants me on his team. But you know at a point in life where it is not worth the injury risk...

Heh, that's interesting.

Watching Mark Ruffalo talk about the failures of capitalism is pretty fucking rich

You are worth 30 million dollars shut the fuck up dude xD

I've been watching the Sargon v Vaush debate. What. A. Shitshow.

You mean the 'Vaush talks over and interrupts everyone then complains if anyone gets a 1 in 5 minutes of airtime" show?

I have been unable to listen to debate lately, the lack of logic hurts my head sometimes.

Yep. What a spergmeister.

He is the very embodiment of Sargon's Law.

The projection was so real, he could point himself at a wall and show off PowerPoint presentations.

what is Sargon's Law?

I'd like to run debates on a chess clock to guarantee both parties get equal time.

now that would be a very good idea!

"When an ideologue makes a character attack against you, that character attack is usually true about themselves." —Sargon's Law

Oh, nice.

i'm surprised someone didn't claim that one sooner.

Agnosticism = I don't know if God exists.
Atheism = There is no God

it seems to be the US democrats mode of operation.

Sargon's Law goes back to at least 2015.

I have (and yes this is autistic as fuck) used a chess clock to time online debates and the share of time used. 90% of the time the guy who is complaining they did not "get to finish their point" used more time than the person they were arguing against.

ha

Kek.

I hate when people do that "would you let me finish" *rants about being interruped few moments*

Gish galloping.

And gaslighting.

or stand around saying nothing for a rather long time.

That's the thing a chess clock is egalitarian. It does not care what you do with your time. It only cares that both parties have the same amount of time.

Vaush was that tiny dog that, when someone slams a door in the next county, starts barking and won't shut the fuck up for the next two weeks.

You can think on your opponent's clock. You can make a stupid move quickly to save time. You can choose where and when to spend your time. But nobody gets any more time than anyone else.

Indeed.

You guys watch the office ?

i don't

Damn
