    Anyone who plays stealth games knows that you have to watch out for the chickens when you’re trying to be sneaky.

    I also “liberated” a 32 inch TV out of Walmart the other day, which is now my assistant gunner when I boot up tf2.

    Yo, no bullshit, my hen that sometimes rides on my shoulder catches shit I’d never notice.

    Mind you, it isn’t armed enemies or anything, but those fucking squirrels are plottin on me.

    And the rooster, that crazy bastard would rip a shotgun out of my hands amd shove it up the ass of a coyote. My feathered homie goes hard on predators

      Watched some documentary ages ago and pigeons’ reaction times are so fast it’s almost like we move in slow motion to them. 250ms is the average for humans without training and pigeons trained to peck when a certain stimuli was presented showed theirs is roughly 80ms. Smaller birds are even faster. Pretty neat.

      Lucky, my roosters are either total assholes or complete cowards - but they both end up worthless when a fox or coyote show up.

      In my experience, roosters go hard on on everything. Well, some anyway. The other half are cuddly instead of aggressive.

        This crazy bugger used to go hard on everything, but the last month or so, he’s turned into my buddy. Loves getting pets and scritches now. But he’ll still flex on anything that isn’t familiar unless it’s a hen lol

      What about the Iraq invasion gave you the impression they were there to help to the people?

        There are only villains in these proxy wars, no heroes, but the USA supposedly tried to fight against theocracies and extremist paramilitants. They always operated under the guise of rightous necessary intervention.

        Sadly the results of their withdrawal from Afghanistan and release of 5000 taliban fighters, both Trump era decisions, shows the USA actually was holding back the tide of baddies in some cases.

        You know, all the bombing and killing civilians. How else do you generously spread democracy?

      It was trivial to buy a chicken on the local economy. You could get anything for 5 USD or less.
