In the article "How to Shoot on the Move" by Hunt Fish Shoot on The Armory Life, the author emphasizes the importance of incorporating movement into firearm training as real-world self-defense situations are often dynamic. The article covers the essential techniques for shooting effectively while moving in various directions—forward, backward, and laterally. Key advice includes adopting a relaxed shooting posture similar to top shooters like Rob Leatham, using a heel-to-toe walking motion to maintain stability, and practicing with semi-automatic pistols like the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F fitted with a Lead & Steel PB-3 red dot. The author underscores the necessity of consistent practice, tracking target hits, and utilizing live-fire drills to master shooting on the move.

very funny when people write fic in a fandom whose whole underpinnings are politically dodgy (police procedural, spy movie, etc) and decide to make THEIR fic woke and in the process. fuck the politics even worse than the original source material

Calling Tabby to save your ass is apparently the correct option 80% of the time, and every time it gets funnier.

You could be fighting Satan himself. This wet cat of a woman would pull up with a shotgun no questions asked, call everyone in the room poor, shoot the devil in the face, and then refuse to process a single emotion about it for the rest of the day.

Anti-horror protagonist. Love her. This game will definitely use that to hurt me later and I’m profoundly not ready for it.

it just hit me that, with the release of PhonoR-0

Arknights, the tower defense game, finally has an actual damn tower in it.

I like to think Benny got that gun from House when they all came to the strip and that House tried to make a big deal of it and what it meant with all its engravings and symbolism. But Benny being a wasteland we just saw if as another weapon.

He never really mentions it in canon, no attachments or acknowledgements to how good it is as a weapon. He just uses it because it’s the brand, a part of his image. Maria, despite carrying the visage of the women who carried/birthed the prophet, is merely used by a man to kill what can be considered the Mojave’s messiah.

Dear god there's two of these fuckers.

I kinda prefer the feminine-lookin' egg cause it at least gives off a little more of a 'militaristic' vibe. Since these two are supposed to be the mascot(s) of a school training students to defend it, having that army/soldier look with the hat, tie, n medal makes it at least a little more believable as the school's mascot. Meanwhile the masculine egg tries to look 'dapper' and it doesn't fit with the presented theme at all. Maybe there's a 'good cop bad cop' thing going on or just a rehash of Monokuma n Monomi's dynamic.

Either way I still feel an instinctive rage towards these eggs whenever I lay eyes on them. I hope they turn out to be evil so my wrath will be gloriously gratifying.

The American political memory is truly so incredibly short. Remember when John McCain single-handedly stopped Republicans from taking healthcare away from millions of people? Like, how we literally were *one* vote away from there being no government healthcare at all, a decision that inevitably would have been upheld by their conservative Supreme Court? Remember how they tried to do this within a year of taking office, back in 2017? Remember how John McCain is dead now? No one is coming to save us this time. Vote.org

The article "How to Shoot on the Move" by Hunt Fish Shoot on The Armory Life website discusses the dynamic nature of real-world defensive firearm usage and emphasizes the importance of training to shoot while moving, as opposed to static shooting typically practiced on flat ranges. It covers essential techniques such as maintaining proper shooting posture, following the example of top shooters like Rob Leatham, and utilizing heel-to-toe walking to stabilize and adapt to uneven ground. The piece underscores that mastering these skills requires practice, recommending the Springfield Armory Echelon 4.5F with a Lead & Steel PB-3 red dot for effective training. Additionally, it stresses the importance of a relaxed upper body posture, slight knee bends to mitigate recoil and stabilize shots, and adapting techniques for lateral and directional movement. The author concludes by encouraging persistent practice and adherence to safety rules, illustrating this with drills and techniques adaptable to competitive shooting and self-defense scenarios.

(@transmasc-rose) Can we be mean to my friend Amy Pond? I'm not picky, follow your heart here.

hey remember when s6 happened and amy was in the world's worst position possible. so like what if we actually took that as the horror story it was.

She wakes up screaming so loud that she doesn't hear her daughter being born.

They let Amy near her crib. They don't let Amy hold her, but they don't tell her not to. It's about can't. It's about Amy having laid still as Snow White in the glass coffin for nine months while a child she didn't want took all the meager life they pumped into her. It's about her thin arms and thin legs and the fact that she can't even stand on her own. She can't hold her daughter.

She leans over the crib. The first time, she cringes back. The second time, she forces out the first name that comes to mind. "Melody," she says, "Melody." She's not sure, really, if she's naming her child or wishing for her friend to show up, like magic. Amy has wished things into existence before. She tries to do it again, barely pausing for breath as she lets the words fall onto the baby. A story as war waged, words as artillery, the Last Centurion and the Doctor and the girl who waits and waits and waits but is always saved. Melody Pond doesn't understand what she's saying. The nonsense sounds bounce off her child, as useless as smoke.

No one comes.

Amy waits.

No one comes.

Amy doesn't feed Melody. Her body won't allow it.

No one comes.

Strangers hold her daughter more than she does.

No one comes.

They are going to take Melody away. Amy tries to cry about it.

No one comes.

Not for the first time, Amy tries to kill her daughter. This attempt is in her crib, smothering, merciful. The Doctor isn't here, and if he was, what judgment could he pass when the children of Gallifrey follow him in silent droves? This child that came out of her, this child that was made using her, this child that she didn't want—this is the only way Amy knows how to save her.

They stop Amy, of course. Melody cries. She's still crying when they take her away.

The Doctor finally comes, guns blazing, eight months, ten days, and three hours late.

"I'm going to play Hades because I enjoy ancient mythology, an interest that was sparked by my access to stories from Greek mythology" she said

"Oh wow two blessings in one room" she said

"How cool, Artemis and Aphrodite, I hope this means that I get to see some insight into their relationship with each other in this world" she said

"Surely this will not force me to make a decision between two goddesses in a fashion reminiscent of the inciting incident to the trojan war" SHE SAID

anways, sure.

Dating werewolf Ricky who naturally gets a little protective/possessive of you, but werewolf Vinny's just smitten too after meeting you and gets all excited when Ricky comes back smelling like you and asking about you and how you are and Ricky finally snaps at him because you're his and Vinny's acting like a fucking puppy.

Cue Ricky realizing what he just did to Vinny, his best friend, who's still flinched backwards and whined away from him. and instead just grab's Vinny's arm and drags him with to come see you and congrats you now have two hot werewolf boyfriends.
