Maggie’s Funny & awesome pics, vids and memes thread (work safe, no nudity)

I once upset a vegan with that claim. It was in a comment section of some video and he rejected the idea that veganism is a "faith."

Well, many people with faith in God believe in having dominion over the animals and even offered animals as sacrifices because apparently God needs to eat, too.

Let's say the vegan does not believe in God. Well, nothing in nature precludes Man or any other animal from eating other animals. In fact, cats are obligate carnivores and do best when getting the majority of proteins from meat or meat product.

Any person I know who is vegan, and this includes my wife's daughter, does not have an allergy to any amino acids one finds in animal protein. They are vegan because of belief in the immorality of eating meat. That the creature has a what? Say it louder, I did not quite hear it. A soul? Some consciousness that is offended or hurt by being consumed? Ergo, a faith. If evolution does not give credence to the existence of a soul, then it is a faith that it does. Therefore, ipso defuckto, it's a faith.

How dare me! That ended the conversation.

Well, that and the fact that when a wolf eats a deer, he does not go for the head to shut down the CNS. He starts at the stomach where there is no bone in the way. The deer is being consumed while it is alive. Is that ethical with Guia, or whatever earth "spirit"?

My wife's daughter was at our house just before our marriage and I did not know this. I brought from work some deer links and deer sausage from a co-worker. I walked in and said, "Look what I have - Bambi meat."

It turned out okay, a few laughs.

I've known a couple vegans. My understanding of their position is that all animals (includes birds etc.) have feelings and suffer pain. Their point is in avoiding causing pain and suffering to others. Both out of compassion and not wanting to start a 'actio/reaction scenario. I can understand their point. A deer isnt much different than your dog, it just hasnt been domesticated to the same point, but it can. soes the dog have feelings? You bet it does. If it were a question of starvation I'd eat the dog, but short of that I try to respect her...even thogh she killed a skunk last night and smell like shit.

I'm just stating their position, right or wrong. I love good brisket.

The NXS is extremely outdated.
NX8 eyebox is the worst I've been behind (the 2.5-20 is manageable, 4-32 is the pickiest thing I've ever seen).
ATACR is nothing special except expensive.

If it makes you happy then keep at it. But in the marketplace right now there's always better options.

There is no free lunch. Everything is trade offs. Want a short, 30mm tube with an 8x erector scope, expect a tight eyebox, thats what you will get. Doesn't matter the brand.

I have just about everything except Tangent Theta and ZCO. The TT315H had been calling me recently, but so far I've managed to stay away.

In my experience the nxs line is about the cheapest scopes where I've found to be reliable mechanically speaking. Glass isn't the greatest, but its acceptable. I'd much rather live with glass thats sub alpha and reliable then better glass and has a wondering zero.

So yes I agree with you that there are plenty of other options out there, I have a bunch of them too. But for hunting I've not found a more reliable scope then the nxs 2.5-10 in the same size and weight class at a similar price, euro or milehigh seem to sell them around $1400 often enough.

No, what does that matter? I did play football. . .

Look R, this isn't about me or even you. What we say and think has no impact on what the hell is going on. We are in the cheap seats with a lousy view and little information, jumping to conclusions.

What I have tried to say, maybe not so well because you haven't picked up on it, is this isn't as cut a dried as some might want it to be. There is a lot going on here that we don't know and the people who do are tasked with deciding how to deal with it. Probably explains the drama with Dan Bongino and the BS that's coming from DOJ, FBI and Trump. I hate it when our government lies to us, but this is nothing new, is it?

By now we have watched Trump long enough to know that he talks in absolutes but his actions are that of a pragmatist.

That's what I believe is going on now and for some, that fails the purity test. I understand why and there is nothing wrong with that for the reasons that are obvious. But unfortunately, that's not how Trump, or the world for that matter, works. There are some above the law, do I need to list examples? There is evil in the world that hasn't and will not be addressed. Life ain't fair and is full of hypocrisy.

So now what?

I know, we will all watch while someone else decides like we always have and will continue to do.

Precision Rifle Gear Tell me Where I’m Wrong: AB Quantum App + Calypso out preforms Kestrel 5700 Elite

If it makes you happy, that's cool. Don't know how you'd use it in NRLH though.

I bought a 5700 Elite in 2017(?) for $600. If you subtract the cost of a Calypso it pretty much amortizes out to the same cost. But that's all just bean counting. The truth is I've got so much AB it's coming out my ass and I find spare AB in the couch cushions. It's in my LRF, I have the phone app(which now I have to pay for, thanks), I have a 901, a 5700E, and I just sold a Garmin Solar with AB. Over the last 20 years I have used ATRAG on a PDA, ATRAG in a Kestrel, tried different phone apps, and been using AB since it came out. I have the HUD laying around, watched Garmin discontinue the Tempe that's needed to feed the watch and 901. It's all a rat race. AB is going to come out with a new pyramid scheme in 2 years, discontinue support for the Calypso, integrate in your scope but you have to pay monthly licenses for each scope you want to use it in. I have a hard time getting excited by it. I don't use wind at my location unless I'm in Wyoming and it's 35mph so I don't calibrate my compass, adjust direction of fire and capture the wind for each target. I just zero all that shit out to 0° and 12 o'clock. I want AB to tell me the data, without AJ, and I use the range card to figure out my gun number and wind dot speed. Raw wind speed x wind direction and then factor +/- .1mrad of AJ for every 8mph L/R if you want. I don't like the Quantum menus, way too much unnecessary shit going on. I give two fucks about WEZ.

Garmin, Thunder beast, and Applied Ballistics sitting in the backroom of their rich people club, timing the drop of their new hotness to just after you paid your sezzle bill off.

Reread your first reply after you asked for walking the walk.
Now deflection.
Obviously you'd just like to rest on counterpoint without backing with debate.
Testament to what people have decided to tolerate

My first reply was saying I wasn't doing your homework assignment. That's "NO" if you misconstrued anything.

I then suggested that you go first and yet here we are. Talk about deflection and refusal to debate. Haven't seen anything from you.

Get off your high horse and start with something because I ain't going to give you anything until you take your own suggestion.

Oh in case you missed it this was my first reply after the "walk the walk."
