The world was cooler back when police forces didn't just use some Glock variant and some AR platform thing
>>65157535Forgot to mention I'm really gay and can fit 3 MREs up my ass
It was a better time. Cars came in more vibrant colors too.>>65157631With the added benefit that the MRE being pre heated
>>65157646Minimalism was a mistake, retvrn to things actually being aesthetically appealing
>>65157535This pic always reminded me of early concept art for starcrafts terran ghosts
>>65157674It was. Everything was brighter and more colorful.I'm convinced this shift happened for the express purpose to get us accepting of nihilism
>>65157535GIGN had some cool shit, good old full sized 357's for shooty shoots and they also had one with a bipod and scope as well.
>>65157690There's a reason the healthy options today are meant to inspire despair. Nothing makes me wanna get in shape like the color of death.
>>65157698Combined with living inside pic related, no wonder people blow their brains out
>>65157703The US death cult of suburbia is subtle, you will paint it grey, make it out of cardboard and be happyThe HOA will make sure you're complying correctly
>>65157707I think something like 83% of new construction homes are part of HOAs. Which I don't understand how fucking retarded you have to be to convince yourself you're a homeowner while being part of an HOA. 400k for a house that will NEED massive renovations within a decade of being built.I used to fix garage doors, and those faggot ass communities were my bread and butter, everything is paper mache and Elmer's glue. I'd fix their garage door while they'd complain to me about how much work they've had to put in a 10 year old house.I mean, there's a lot of value to not having to share a neighborhood with niggers, but that's just too much
>>65157718the country is going through real life enshittification
>>65157674>bitches about minimalism>deliberately uses meme spellings from an alphabet with less letters
>>65157725Amen
>>65157674No.
>>65158001Perhaps he's including tradition
>>65158006Um.. Anon... I....um...
>>65158029I rest my case.
>>65158029>Piedmont Wait, its Italiano? Does it really mean Footville?
>>65157535Saw some bodycam footage the other day of a police force (maybe highway patrol?) in the US that were issued G36s.
>>65157535Good news anon, they use other stuff as well. Every department will have a different policy, some allow you to chose whatever you want if it's okay'd be the armorer.
>>65158006>>65158029>pasta blueprintFucking Italians
>>65157703>noooo not a 5 bedroom 4 bath house with yard abutting the woods I'm going spiritually insane from not seeing niggers and having access to beaner food carts
>>65158063You want it in your mouth, don't you?
>>65158072It really is so elegant and fresh
>>65158067Lol. My ideal is being at least a half mile from the nearest house. What I'm ripping on is the>insanely low quality >HOA burden>every house is the same basic format>paper thin walls>treeless yard with less than 2 inches of topsoil on top of the construction waste from the house being built (yes, they actually do this, and that's why you'll never see a development lawn that isn't heavily treated with chemicals)>can shake hands with neighbors through each other's windowsThose houses are junk, you're incapable of nuance, and you can't read.
>>65157674if your job is to be shot at every day then i dont think you'd have this opinion for long.also you really don't have to use the word 'aesthetics' all the time.
>>65157646>Cars came in more vibrant colors tooThey still do, people just don't buy them.
>>65157692i've tried bipod revolver, it fucking sucks. The GIGN quit with that shit because they realized losing officers because of retarded euro pride (ie not wanting to be like ze american cops with ze automatic gangster pistols) is stupid and now they all just have glocks.
>>65158085We were talking about cars ect, why are you bringing up combat? What does combat have to do with the world turning gray/soft earth tones?
>>65158080You're right anon I apologize for my retarded outburst. I've lived in worse, thankful now for my 1.5 acres.
>>65158080>>65157707being scared of HOAs is such a stupid craze. its not like every fucking neighborhood has one.
>>65158096You're fine just try to relax for a moment each time you feel the urge to make an aggressive point.
>>65158101Yeah but god forbid you do have to deal with them. They are often worse than any other level of government.
>>65158106do you know personally or do you just complain about them to feel better about being a rentoid? every year millennials make up a new excuse for why they don't want to mvoe out or buy a house.
>>65158103I've been an aggressive retard on anonymous internet my whole life, it's an outlet
>>65158101Maybe to a degree, but their spread gives legitimate reason to be weary. Being an alarmist isn't great, but downplaying a problem lets it get worse.
>>65158110>boomer spontaneously seethes about millennials not buying his 1.4m cardboard HOA shackDon't worry interest rates will go to zero again soon
>>65158089It's not the buyers that don't want them, it's the government mandated stealership middlemen.
>>65158040hillsfoot you fucking mong, fucking modern americans can even begin to comprehend something its not their stupid torn down, dumbed to mostly abbreviations language... Saving time to buy more burgers right? theres always a new flavour of soda coming in!!! better drive safetly to the nearest fast food joint, you dont want to end up paying those exorbitant medical bills if you crash or get shot, when you already have 3 mortages...
>>65158117>you may be right, but i wont change my opinion.you don't want to buy a house because mortgages scare you.
>>65158112If that scratches an itch for you. I can't help but sort of evangelize being a little nicer on the internet, it's been making me feel better even outside the internet, and I sincerely hope some people can find a similar relief, it also defuses exchanges that would have just turned into prideful shit flinging.
>>65158126"To a degree" does not mean "I agree with your point wholesale."
>>65158133do you even have evidence that HOAs as a concept are 'spreading'?
>>65158040>>65158125>hillsfootfoothills, you retarded chimps
>>65158141India should be banned from internet access, the entire country. Seems like everything they say is a caricature. If they actually brought value to conversations I'd be a lot more tolerant, but they don't.
>>65158093why does it suck the bypod torques on the barrel and you get dispersion??Im not talking about the manhurin as a revolver, just setting the bypod on one. That looks like a SW 327 or r8 scandium frame right? and has the barrel inside a the sleeve like the new model 19 which i guess fucks up the barrel harmonics more?
>>65158141>foothillsOn the one hand, it's utterly ridiculous somebody had to point that out. On the other hand, streetshitter infestation. You can redeem your attached payment at any double-nigger store in the hood nearest to you.
>>65158089Primarily because of insurance bullshit which is in of itself responsible for so much of what's wrong with America anymore.It destroyed the mcdonald's playplaces for the next generation and is the reason you see less and less deep fryers in gas stations and convience stores making delicious jojos, replaced by faggot toaster ovens.It closes gun ranges and fills swimming pool.It is an anaconda strangling joy and novelty in the goal of feminine risk aversion and homogenization.
>>65158479I'm glad someone else gets it. Insurance companies and shareholders (I love privately owned business, NOT publicly traded ones) have destroyed America worse than any demographic shift could ever hope to cause. They are the sole reason products and services suck as much as they do and rapidly getting worse.The entire country is like living under corporate HR
>>65158479>insurance bullshitPartially true. The insurance scam has turned into a protection racket very specifically by asshole lawyers who have been over-litigating everything, everywhere, all the fucking time since the 80's.
>>65157674>Minimalism was a mistakeCrazy thing it's all the worse parts of minimalism too. Look at pick up trucks. They used to be for blue collar workers getting to and from work on week days and offroading on the weekends, and the kicker no bells or whistles therefore pretty affordable. Now they are Mcmanisons (Especially when looking at prices on these things) on wheels getting women and fatasses from one strip mall to the next while having a mortgage size car payment every fucking month.
>>65157535I also miss the specific urban tactical aesthetic that only police units had instead of the multi-meme hand me downs that are everywhere today
>>65158775CAFE and crash standards are responsible for a lot of this
>>65157535>when police forces didn't just use some Glock variant and some AR platform thingYou sound gay and retarded.
>>65158775The market for utilities with a full sized tray is getting smaller and smaller as well. Dual-cabs are fucking awful work vehicles because there's no room in them for anything serious and I don't need to carry 3 other retards off to a job and I don't want to tow a trailer. Biggest cunt with some of the bro-truggs is they're also getting way too high off the ground to throw stuff into the tray itself.I dunno who buys them, but they obviously don't ride trail bikes because they won't fit into them, they're too big and noisy to go spotlight shooting with (plus they might get scratched by a bush) no one with kids seriously wants to see themselves as grown-ass adults in one surely? I'm not going to carry livestock feed and hay in one as it would take 3 trips and my wife would touch-park it into bollards or other cars.So that just leaves single manlets with more money than sense that want to think it makes them look outdoorsy and manly
>>65157674>minimalism was a mistakeWhat the fuck are are you talking about? I want my cops obvious as shit, in stupidly obvious marked cars, wearing obvious cop uniforms that don't look like some tacticool dipshit with three spare fucking 15 round magazines next to his/her taser. Fuck the militarization of cops all day long. If there is a problem that requires more than the 30 rounds you, as a fatassed cop, has already loaded in your shitty pistol and one spare mag, you have fucked yourself. Anybody advocating for cops wearing balaclavas and goggles, or driving unmarked cars pulling over people, are literally bending over to getting fucked in the ass by shitty government. I like limited government. I don't like the government you juvenile "libertarian" idiots claim and I don't like any sort of cops who pretend they're soldiers or do their jobs anonymously. Who the fuck is ready to pull over for an anonymous car just because it has lights?
>>65158871They hated Anon because he told them the TRVTH NVKE
>>65158780>CAFE and crash standardshas nothing to do with retards needing leather heated bucket seats in a work vehicle
>>65158808>So that just leaves single manlets with more money than sense that want to think it makes them look outdoorsy and manlyI would add fags and women to that list as well especially women. I remember watching some House Hunters show a few years back about a gay couple wanting the hunting lodge experience. One of the requirements was a fireplace, the last house was true cabin with nice updated things ie central heating, working pumbling etc. The fags turned their noses at because it had a wood burning stove, and the fags were super set on a fireplace. They end up choosing a fucking condo with a gas "fireplace" of all places. So for them it's literally keeping up with the Joneses to gloat they have "outdoors retreat".Back to cars and trucks I have pretty stock 03 Jeep TJ with a add on Roof Lights with and bull bar I got for free (And yes my Jeep is canary yellow and looks like pic relate minus the retarded lift). Yet my Jeep has seen more dirt and off road those some of these heavy modified lifted pos jeeps at the jeep clubs and their stupid rubber duckie collections. Should be call Rubber Duckie club, because that's they only seem to give a shit about owning a Jeep.
>>65158914Actual wood stoves for cooking are getting pretty rare these days. They're hard to find good ones or somewhere with one in it and while they do take more time to prep than something like electric and gas, there is no better pizzas, roasts and bread made anywhere else than in a wood combustion stove. When I was a student about a billion years ago I had a rental place that had one and it kept us warm, fed and happy for some time, plus it was just funny taking city kid friends out to get wood, chased by snakes, spiders and use a chainsaw.But yeah, keep the shortie, long wheelbase 4wds in real tough country are just bringing about damnation on whoever was silly enough to go there in them. I'm not a jeep expert by any stretch but the TJ had the last of the good engines with the 6cyl 4. In which case, never sell it because that's fairly much the golden era. I've got an old GU Patrol from the same era with the TD42 turbo diesel and an older J70 Cruiser with a 2H in it- these are just farm trucks and miserable, rusty shitboxes as they are, they will never be sold. There is nothing that can replace them really so people using them just have to accept the spiders living in them, mud, stinky diesel and rattling noises are what makes them work.
Warfare always follows a homogenization schedule around the biggest dick on campus until either a collapse or something seismic comes along to change it. Everybody was varied until the Romans came along.Everybody was varied until the norman knight came along.Everybody was varied until the 18th century homogenized the standards for the musketeer and cavalryman.Everybody was the same until WW1 really changed shit up. Look at how from WW2 onwards there was a new submachinegun every week because you could cook up some garage bullshit. Some slav farmboy makes the AK, some handyman bogan makes a plumber's tool that mogged thompsons and stens. You could still be a garage gunsmith into the 80s with that guy who did a 50 caliber rifle I forget. But eventually that homogenized into whoops AR15s everywhere. Once some transformative technology arrives to shake up small arms you'll see another break of creativity.>>65157703I hear it's housing developers being yiddish and not wanting to deal with big trees (roots and such) rather than just tear it all down and go flat. Even though trees boost house value and drop the temperature by like 10-15 degrees. Extreme example for me but I remember one summer driving through the car dealership road and the temp was ~115F in my car and then 3 or so miles away in the very edge of the suburbs in a wooded area it was like 89F. Clearly the pavement was making it worse for the car but still nearly 30F fucking diff.
>>65158983>But yeah, keep the shortie, long wheelbase 4wds in real tough country are just bringing about damnation on whoever was silly enough to go there in them. I'm not a jeep expert by any stretch but the TJ had the last of the good engines with the 6cyl 4.Don't worry I'm keeping it until it literally rusts into the ground, plus I'm picking up a LJ soon one of my buddies is trying to sell. Now I'm debating on which to turn to an Overlanding Jeep. Also I'm in the market for J60/70 Landcruiser as well that said they pretty hard to find these days. >>65159077>I hear it's housing developers being yiddish and not wanting to deal with big trees (roots and such) rather than just tear it all down and go flat.Crazy thing we used to build around nature, but it's cheaper to hire illegal mexicans to bulldozer it into a flat. But that temperature shit is no joke, trees keep the surrounding area cool. https://youtu.be/C-83-YPYSKA
>>65158871
>>65159077Another big problem is insisting that roofs and roads need to be a dark color, it's a proven fact you can easily drop your houses temperature by over 10° just by painting the roof white, like 90% of a cities surface is nothing but roofs and roads.
>>65157703Any escape might help to smoothThe unattractive truthBut the suburbs have no charms to sootheThe restless dreams of youth
>>65157535>>anything to do with police ever being coolhow many "back the blue" items do you own?
>>65157535I totally agree, .muskets were the height of police aesthetics. and what the hell is with all the shitty black and blue uniforms? we should be able to spot our police.
>>65159927Can you imagine trying to drive on a white painted road on a really sunny day? You'd go blind. But yes otherwise I'm in complete agreement
>dark blue jumpsuits>black chest rig>SPAS-12>MP5>facemask and helmet with glass visor
