That’s a pretty gross oversimplification

They’re using a +60 year old tank. If it exploded when they fired it, either the breach or barrel failed in some way that couldn’t contain the ammunition.

That means they probably weren’t properly maintaining or inspecting it. Weapons can be safe if they’re treated properly (and you’re not on the business end of them).

Agreed, if you have the means the real game boy (or another clone) is best

But for simple games like Pokémon, Advance War, and Kirby I’ve been able to make do

And it’s free.99 on something I always have on me so that wins out for me

I don’t know man, if I ever get a terminal illness I always thought ODing on heroin would be the way to go

Try all the drugs, literally can’t go tits up if you time it right

They still have that prehensile tail right? I think if the little arms couldn’t latch on, the tail could still wrap around the neck.

Someone in a fancy fur suit would probably be safe though

You’re putting a lot of words in my mouth to suit your own view point, I don’t understand the antagonism coming from you.

You’re the one that brought native Americans into this, when I said common man I meant anyone who’s not a billionaire/politician.

I don’t understand what point you’re trying to make with this continuation, it feels like you’re trying to “gotcha” me without using anything I’ve actually said.

I was talking to bloomberg.com

That is not obvious to me from such a generic use of the word “you”. It never crossed my mind, considering only Lemmy users are reading that comment.

think an indigenous american isn't part of "the common man"

I don’t know where you’re pulling that from, as nothing I wrote could be construed as such from my own rereading.

First hand experience in CA, the training is pretty minimal and you’re basically thrown into the deep end. It’s like reading about driving and then your first driving experience is the Indy 500.

Most people you interact with are belligerent (cus 99% of the time you’re not there to help them) or mentally off (yay for the lack of societal safety nets) and it’s drilled into you that every encounter could be deadly

I think the training is crap because of historical reasons initially, but now because it’s a political machine and there’s no reason for those in power to want to change it. They’re seeing the results they want to see, otherwise things would’ve changed by now.

::: spoiler Tap for spoiler I thought it was hilarious that the protagonists (L and that other chick) cared about exacting justice against the military, and then nuked a bunch of captive pregnant women in the upside down

Didn’t they say they were going to come back for them? :::
