People fail to collapse like a sack of potatoes in response to getting shot all the time, especially with handguns. The variance of how much damage pretty much anything does is huge - people have survived falling 10+km without a parachute and people have died from falling 2m. People have survived being shot with handguns, rifles, machineguns - it wouldn't surprise me if someone has survived a hit from an autocannon at some point.
If the guy clocked his assailant before the first shot went off, this goes double - hitting someone who doesn't want to be hit is hard. It's not as if cops have handguns with 15+ rounds in the mag because they need to be able to drop 15 suspects before reloading.

No, he insulted my pedigree by insinuating I don't have one. If you look up the definition of pedigree, it's an insult to blood. I'm sure he meant school but that's almost as bad, especially by repurposing that word.
This whole class of "whining about word choice because the etymology allows me to claim it is racist despite any sane reading makes it 100% clear that it isn't about race in the slightest"-style argument belongs on 2014 Tumblr, if that. Do better.
Nudging in the economics sense has been debunked? At least in the form presented in Nudge (by Thaler and Sunstein), I highly doubt that.
