It would appear that based blanket statements aren’t the sole domain of MAGA shitbags.

When I was dating, I laughingly told a girl I was “kinda redneck”.

“Uh, exactly how redneck?”

“I loathe Trump and don’t start me on January 6th. If that’s what you’re asking.”

“Whew. Just checking.”

HelixDab2,

I like huntin’, fishin’, farmin’, shootin’ the revenuers that try to bust my still and steal my 'shine, and I stand in solidarity with my fellow workers against the evils of capitalism.

Is that sufficiently redneck?

(I don’t actually like fishing; I think it’s boring, and I don’t like fish very much.)

shalafi,

LOL, I’m on the water with my kayaks, canoe and little plastic boat, “Caught anything?”

“Uh, no. Just stopping on sandbanks and drinking Keystones. Walking around the woods and such. Uh, how about you? Catch anything?”

This look MAGA to you OP?

Pictured:

  • /r/liberalgunowners patch
  • Ukraine patch
  • Imperial Storm Trooper AR-15 (OK, you kinda got me on that one.)
  • wife’s Christmas present (hot pink Bersa Thunder .380)
  • Pilipino flag
  • 20-yo hat, bought before assholes took over the flag
  • 20-round mag, kinda prefer the 10s, standard 30s are a bit much for reasons

Not pictured:

OK, the crushed Keystone cans scream redneck, but not MAGA.

To top it off, that’s in Florida, where it’s perfectly OK to paint us with a fat “conservative asshole who deserves whatever happens to them” brush.

And 01/06 gave me fucking PTSD thank you very fucking much. And I don’t say that lightly.

(Glad I took a minute on this post! Found some cool new patches.)

According to the US government, the most dangerous thing in this picture is that bag of Kinder Surprise chocolates

shalafi,

HWAT?! I have no idea where such chocolates came from.

My wife is Filipina. Perhaps her godless island chain?! (They’re mostly Catholic, yeah I said it, godless papist idolators.)

I’m MURICAN goddamnit! We respect the rule of law!

HelixDab2,

Gonna be straight, the hand guard doesn’t scream MAGA, but it’s kinda borderline fudd-y. :P A carbon fiber M-LOK hand guard and a low-profile gas block would be better, unless you’re reeeeaaaaaalllllly attached to that A2 front sight post.

I still prefer the 30 round magazines, since they’re cheap, easy to find, and are better for making it through high round count matches without lots of reloads. :)

As an aside to all of that, when I talk to younger people at matches–I’m probably about your age, maybe a little older–many of them are in favor of things Dems say that they’re in favor of (except gun control). I think that’s one of the sticking points for a lot of the younger rednecks in rural parts of the country.

shalafi,

Imma be dumb here, but I think the holes in the hand guard are M-LOK? Not looking to attach tools there in any case.

low-profile gas block

Uh, you lost me, but I’m listening. LOL, this is why I went with a plain Ruger Whiteout. Still learning, but didn’t want to fuck up rolling my own.

And yes, I’m loving the A2 sight. Practicality aside, I saw this on sale and thought, “Huh. M16 in Star Wars? Sold.” The light is a normal Olight I happened to have, but it glares on the front sight. Can’t find it again, but someone posted a nice adapter that would throw it out further. Know what I’m talking about? Couldn’t find one at the time.

HelixDab2,

Apolopgies for this wall; I’m literally autistic, and guns have been one of my particular areas of interest for, um, 40-odd years.

That style of hand guard, AFAIK, doesn’t accept M-LOK or keymod accessories. I can’t be sure though; what you’d be looking for is something like this -> aeroprecisionusa.com/ar15-atlas-s-one-m-lok-handg… The slots are what the M-LOK mounts go into. (Aero Precision is kinda pricey, IMO.) The added benefit is that it floats your barrel; it’s only connected to the upper receiver, and not the barrel, so you can get slightly better accuracy out of it.

You can get the metal parts of the rifle cerakoted white, if that’s of interest to you.

You can get a gas block that fits under your hand guard. That allows your hand guard can go all the way to the end of your barrel which gives you more options for mounting accessories and hand positioning. Gas blocks come in a variety of styles, but a fixed and pinned (e.g., held on with a roll pin) block will work for almost everyone. An adjustable gas block may be better for people that are running silencers, since that affects gas pressure in the system, but I have no direct experience with them since silencers are $$$. If you replace the hand guard with an M-LOK hand guard, you’ll need to replace the front sight with a low profile gas block.

I’m personally not a fan of iron sights because my eyes suck. I use an LPVO and a canted red dot, and that’s worked very well for me. I can reliably hit targets out to 340y (or, that’s the longest I’ve shot to, and that was at a match), and there’s no way in hell I’d be able to to that with irons.

FWIW, AR-15s are basically like Legos for adults; they’re almost infinitely modular, and most parts work just fine with other parts as long as they’re from reputable manufacturers.

I don’t know about Olight adapters specifically, but I’ve seen LEP heads for Surefire bodies. IIRC the Blazer LEP Z-Bolt is good to at least 300y, and it’s bright. There’s very little spill; it’s very, very focused. I’ve shot out to 150y with a Streamlight ProTAC; it’s not great at that distance, but it works. It’s got a lot of spill and decent throw, so you still have peripheral sight.

Does the TikTok have access to your home wifi network?

Piemanding,

That one made me cringe hard when I first heard it.

tweeks,

The app of course needs access to the Internet, through your WiFi or mobile Internet. However, depending on the app, phone OS and the security configuration of your local network setup it could have access to other devices as well.

But that’s usually on purpose or by accident of the user. In court, one valid question could be if TikTok tries to make use of such a configuration, and for what reasons.

So I think the question itself is not that bad, if it got a clarification / follow-up question like the above.

HiddenLayer5,

In all seriousness: yes. Any app or even website can scan your local network and attempt to access other devices. This is apparent in the fact that dedicated network scanner apps like Fing don’t require any permissions to scan your network, therefore any app can if it wanted to.

This is some full-on stirrin’-somes-shit probably-russian/chinese-originated bullshit meant to divide folks up. Real rednecks would never hand their liberty to some two-bit lyin sack of shit New York Billionaire landlord’s son swindler like Trump

moistclump, in It's just totally a fad

I saw the faceless person as walking away. Like the convergence of those disciplines is to be bi. Maybe.
