One of the most effective commercials I’ve seen for a firearm in a long time…

I just want some stuff in .40 wtf man /sigh.. I think this is a strategy to get everyone on 9mm and then shut off the ammo supply. I went to a lgs and was like i want a full size .40 with an optics cut. They were like "We don't have any" I was like... What are we living in commie country wth!!!!

Yes, so t for the market to efficiently react to consumers giving up on a pointless and defunct caliber without involving the government or central planning in any way…

got to say, i do find the emotes that replace certain words pretty funny

I absolutely hate all emoticons.

I figured I’d get a reaction like that.

The problem with emoticons is that there are so many of them. One never knows what they mean without an extensive and time intensive look up. And even then, one is not sure.

Our language is completely brilliant in that anything can be clearly said using just 26 letters. Emoticons are like using the Chinese system of writing. It takes thousands of different characters. It is wholly inefficient and confusing as hell. It is ten steps backwards. It’s a major dumbing down of our language for people who have no skills in writing.

Yeah you can totally tell over text when someones being sarcastic or even using advanced sarcasm. Nothing is ever ambiguous. Also that was a gif not an emoticon, language being precise and all right

It was clearly a boomer comment so I assumed he has a pack of cigarettes next to his crystal tumbler of Johnny Walker and latest copy of the Wall Street Journal

While I am a boomer, I have never smoked. I also have never read the Wall Street Journal. And I’ve also never tasted Johnny Walker.

I did get hurling drunk once on Jack Daniel’s while I was in the army.

And emojis still suck. No matter what they are called.

Damn, that guy in the commercial is short!

hurling drunk on jack? classic jack. You should try their blackberry mixed with a blackberry dr pepper.

And yes you can tell if someone is being sarcastic without using emojis. All it takes is an average competency with the English language.

Drink enough and you can hurl on anything.

emojis tho, are like hieroglyphs from ancient sumerfornia that you need to be a soothsayer to understand very true.

It seems someone agrees with me.
