I think you misread the statement you're quoting. Can you elaborate on what your take on it was?

My take was "China is banning acts that undermine a general Chinese Ethnic unity or create Ethnic Division (saying one group is different than another, you know, like a cultural pride or language teaching services in their native dialect would be examples)"

I read little lore bits here and there, heard from friends about various things on it. Never really got into it on my own.

2023 or so hits. I loved Baldur's gate 3, played Wasteland 3, needed more CRPG style games. Played 40k: Rogue Trader...and down the rabbit hole I went.

Space marine 2 beat, Boltgun started, rogue trader beat maybe 3 times, finished with most animations on Warhammer TV, read all the Eisenhorn/Ravenor novels, read the Bequin books out so far, pre-ordered Owlcat's Dark Heresy game.

I lucked out and I guess I just get to get into this right in the middle of a high point. There's SO. MUCH. CONTENT to consume.

I think you're being downvoted because, although facetious in comparison because of it's clearly inflammatory and directed-hate kind of nature, the Bible and Mein Kampf both pose terrible ideas and concepts for any young mind. The murder/rape/incest/genocide/slavery-justifying stuff is all over the place, sprinkled in with stuff about how to be a good person.

Maybe if it wasn't currently the main religious text now hopelessly tied to the political right of the nation (and not even getting into the uniquely extreme version of protestantism the US has compared to the rest of the world) and actively being used as justification for shitty beliefs/actions/legislation, I could see your point about having it as a text to study, but also probably only in the final years of high school if not just for college, and with religious studies professors/experts and not Mr. Bortner the P.E./history teacher that also coaches the football team.

To be fair that was like 10 years ago and not long after the Disney channel fame was transitioning to 'socially acceptable adult attention' fame. Weird time for any child star

I can't say for sure, I only shoot skeet and wood targets on dirt/ground-backed hills.

But https://www.atomicdefense.com/blogs/news/can-bullets-go-through-brick seems to say: "Heavier rounds such as a 7.62x39mm or .308 rifle may penetrate the walls of a brick-veneered house, but it is not likely"

I could imagine a higher caliber hunting round going through a brick wall when pointed at it, but it should be rare to have a high caliber rifle loaded with high caliber rounds off-safety and able to be misfired by a child/dog/freak accident.

And in the UK, that's just pretty much too impossibly rare to be occurring. The likelihood is higher here, but god I wish it wasn't

Have you ever shot at brick or stone? Yeah, the right caliber will go right through, but it's not flying through with near the same velocity as through drywall, paint, and dreams , the stuff my walls are made of right now.

Surely there were better semi-action RPGs..but the vibes and the depth of some systems on those games were great

I am confused by what you mean

I think it's more like our bodies are blank canvases. They need some color and embellishing to really accent what's already there

Why do you say that? I had this exact conversation today at work

I just went digging to find quotes from that episode for my husband. Thank you for this lol

Live in the north where southerners flee to for jobs (still a shitty Red state) and the range is a regular for gun people. When I had friends that shoot, it was an every or every other weekend thing for the cheap shit, once month take out something nice to shoot that costs a little.
