Small-Scale Question Sunday for December 10, 2023

Do you have a dumb question that you're kind of embarrassed to ask in the main thread? Is there something you're just not sure about?

This is your opportunity to ask questions. No question too simple or too silly.

Culture war topics are accepted, and proposals for a better intro post are appreciated.

Gangbangers are dumb. No, dumber than that. A bit more. Yes, functional retardation territory it is. Why else would many of them murder each other on the street, often for less money than they could make working minimum wage?

There's nothing that forces them to shoot handguns gangsta style, beyond that's what they think looks cool, leaving aside it is a woefully inadequate stance/grip which makes successful hits on target even more random than they already are in a stressful close quarters firefight.

Gangbangers are dumb.

Reminds me of this excellent scene from the show: https://youtube.com/watch?v=D3hD9ZbguIg

I don't see any dumbness out of context; just one person trying to intimidate another with a nonsense question, and their staying cool and holding frame by giving a friendly answer.

I thought it was gonna be the photocopier lie detector scene. .

The Wire has quite a few examples.

Was it the show where a character said that the one thing he'd never seen in all his years on the force was a criminal mastermind?
