    Does anyone ever think the guys with anything at all like that on their clothing have forgotten how to be violent? Did we need a reminder? Or does this guy just want to be a typical posturing, aggressive, “alpha male” maga shitstain and be certain no one forgets it?

      I don’t think he’s forgotten - I think he’s old and fat and has mostly lost the ability to be violent, except maybe to his wife. A young, fit man would beat the shit out of him and he knows it. IMHO that’s a big reason gun nuts are so into their guns, because it compensates for their physical weakness.

    That protruding blob on the back of his neck isn’t fat, it’s actually a bonus concealed weapon slot.

    Typical Murican. Talks a big talk but stays home when their country is being taken over by actual fascists.

    Now that I am older, my eyesight isn’t what it used to be. I could still hit that target at 100 yards with iron sights. Meal Team 6 wannabe tacticool moron wouldn’t last thirty seconds in a firefight.

    We call this “StrongMan-Posturing”, this guy never experienced violence.

    I remembered a MGTOW guy by the name “Undead-Chronic” (do any of you remember him ?) He chickened out the moment FBI showed up at his door😂

      If you need an AR-15 to feel safe at Target, the problem is you…

      Or you’re a character in Fallout and there are Raiders in the Super Duper Mart

        I dunno… have you been to a Target recently? Anyone shopping there at this point is probably either a proud boy or one of the daughters of liberty and probably walking around with 3 guns on them. I’d feel safer around those people with an AR of my own.

      I’m reminded of when McDonalds did their Rick and Morty szechuan sauce promotion, and basically no place actually had it.

      It was a big story that Rick and Morty fans harassed workers complaining that the franchise lied to them.

      It got so bad that McDonalds released an app to show where and when stories had the sauce, and announced they’d be selling posters as well. Unfortunately, some locations lied or at least misused the app to say they had the sauce when they didn’t.

      So I went to one location with my brother, and we found a line forming outside. The store wasn’t allowed to sell the posters till late in the afternoon for some reason, and wouldn’t let anyone there for the sauce even enter the building with cashiers actively blocking any Rick and Morty fan from entering, even just looking college age was enough to be refused entry.

      I thought this was ridiculous and just said “Wow, the only thing that’d make this worse is if they didn’t have the sauce.”, only for the lady guarding the door to tell me that they did indeed not have the sauce, despite the app saying they did.

      There was this guy simping hard for her, mi’lady style, and a bunch of brodudes talking about how they’re so Nihilistic and Smart “JUST LIEK RICK!”, whole thing was a shit show. He said “Oh yeah, no they don’t have the sauce, I asked.”

      He was eating cheeseburgers despite not being allowed in, apparently you could have the food brought out to you if you used the app.

      It was fucking cold that day. Still feels like, even false advertising aside, something about this had to be illegal.

      So I said “Fuck this, I’m leaving.”, just got into my car, went to Wendy’s, ordered chicken nuggets and the most asian sounding sauce they had. Posted one of the only food selfies I’ve ever done of what I ordered

      “Was going to post me eating the sauce, but I went to Wendy’s instead because this store actually has products they claim to offer.”

      A friend of mine asked the next day what was up with that post, because Food Selfies or even regular selfies are just THAT out of character for me, and I told him the story.

      He looked at me geniunely impressed, and said “Wait, you valued your own self-respect over the ‘cool corporate thing’, voiced your dissatisfaction, and calmly left without making a scene or embarassing yourself? If anyone was Rick at this event, it was you”

      I just said “Huh”, as I didn’t do that to be cool, I was just hungry, wanted to buy nuggets, and didn’t get them from a store that lied about having them…

      It was then that my brother, who had been with me when we went to McDonalds spoke up, admitting he didn’t even think of what we actually did that day either, we just up and said “Screw you guys, I’m coming home.” and said one of the wisest things I’ll never forget

      “If you think you’re Rick, it means you’re Jerry.”

    It’s entirely possible that his brain didn’t forget how to be violent but it’s clear his body did. So this is basically a billboard indicating, “if you sneak up on me and restrict my arms, you can probably find my concealed weapon.”
