With the over-50s, yeah, sure.

I literally hope that if half the people on this board are ever bitten by a King Cobra they die a slow and agonizing death because they came into the emergency screaming about being bitten by a poisonous snake and the ER team lets them die while arguing about poisonous vs venomous.

I think we file this one under: "Play stupid games; win stupid prizes"

There's an acronym I saw on Facebook not long ago, "FAAFO". "**** Around And Find Out".

As in, "Oh, the Secret Service would never shoot little old me, would they?" "FAAFO, ************!"

Tom Cotton starting the 2024 primary against Cruz and Hawley on Fox & Friends: "You have some senators who, for political advantage, were giving false hope to their supporters. These senators, as insurrectionists literally stormed the capitol, were sending out fundraising emails."

Sarah Palin summarizes how the Trump cult is digesting yesterday's events.

Palin, who boldly paved the way for the imbeciles of the world, provided evidence--- people sent her pictures.

In real life they're more often called ED for "Emergency Department" than ER for "Emergency Room", so a truly pedantic hospital staff would turn you away at the door saying they don't have an ER.

Trump: Storm the Capitol to stop the steal!

(people storm the Capitol)

Idiots: Yeah, it was probably AntiFa.

If all US cops were as calm and measured as this guy, the US would be in a far better place right now.

I do appreciate the measured-ness of the single shot (or small number of shots, can't tell for sure) rather than the city cop style "everyone empties their magazines in the general direction." I don't think anyone trains to target the neck, though. In a chaotic scene with a difficult shooting angle past the door, the guard might have intended a warning shot, a center mass shot, or anything in between.
