They can tell from across the room! I had a dude come up and grab my jacket aggressively the other day. I dont know him. I didnt talk to him. He just came up and grabbed it and started talking shit.

Ive trained jiu jitsu for 5 years, and I snatched his hand off me and he INSTANTLY started smiling and saying "peace peace!" and walked away.

This type of thing isnt uncommon. I wasnt even scared because so many STRANGERS have confronted me in public.

What I need to know is, HOW DO THEY KNOW. HOW DO THEY SMELL THE VICTIMHOOD FROM ACROSS THE ROOM?! Ive trained martial arts because ive been targeted my whole life despite being over 6 foot and 220lbs. I feel confident that I can beat the fuck out of anyone who bothers me, and apparently people can tell once the physical conflict STARTS because he basically begged for mercy and ran off.

But WHY AND HOW AM I BEING TARGETED?! WHAT CAN I DO TO MAKE IT STOP.

I realized today that the whole tough guy bullshit that Ive developed wasnt my choice but one these animals forced on me. I like animals and gardening! I started martial arts to be left alone, and even though I have confidence and I can stand up for myself, I still have to go through this whole pecking order ritual OVER AND OVER. I got fired from a job 30 minutes in because I was told I had a "weird vibe"

Im so fucking tired. I refuse to submit to these losers, but I just want it to stop at this point so Im no longer pigeonholed into the person I am. I want to be friendly, kind, open, fun. Im forced to shell up and even then it barely takes the heat off.

Fuck them for taking away the person I could have been. Even fighting back means they win because all thats left of you is violence

Hello tech bros

I am hoping someone can settle a debate ive been having. Thermal scopes are a big thing these days as the price keeps falling.

However, most models come with WIFI. As we know from the russua/ukraine conflict, cell phone emissions will get you pinpointed and killed. WIFI emissions would likely do the same.

Now, you can always turn the wifi off in the menu. But how do you know if it is truly off all the way, and isnt emitting a low level signal?

Another risk is that the receiver in the thermal could receive a "firmware update" that bricks it. If its emitting wifi to talk to the phone app, it must have an antenna, and an antenna can be pinged, no?

Is this a valid concern?

Every single electronic scope has wifi connectivity.

Why is this a thing? After the pager attack, anyone with a brain should be ditching anything that connects to a signal right?? Even if it doesnt explode it can be hacked or tracked, right?

Whats the deal? If a thermal scope has a wifi emitter, even if the wifi is ALLEGEDLY off (trust me bro!) the receiver is still there listening.

We know STINGRAYS are a thing, you have to assume something like that exists on a drone.....

Tell me my tinfoil is unnecessary and I dont need to spend TRIPLE the price on "professional" grade optics just because the cheap civilian ones have antenna......

Any recommendations for OPSEC friendly civilian models? Ive seen sightmark wraith and oneleaf mt1000, and thats it. Very limited choices if you want zero wifi integration.
