      Musk just needs someone to take a shot at him and maybe he will snap out of his “this is a simulation” bullshit and come back to earth.

        It’s way too late for that. True Believers like Musk don’t just think it’s a simulation, they think they’re the main thing being simulated and the rest of us are NPCs, which is why it’s just fine to treat us all like dogshit. If he survived an assassination attempt, that would only prove it to him.

            Somebody just needs to dig up and resurrect the White Death.

            Häyhä preferred iron sights over telescopic sights, as they enable a sniper to present a smaller target for the enemy (a sniper must raise his head a few centimetres higher when using a telescopic sight), and can be relied on even in extreme cold, unlike telescopic sights which tend to cloud up in cold weather.

            Simo Häyhä, often referred to by his nickname The White Death (Finnish: Valkoinen kuolema; Russian: Белая смерть, romanized: Belaya smert’), was a Finnish military sniper during World War II in the 1939–1940 Winter War between Finland and the Soviet Union. He used a Finnish-produced M/28-30 rifle (a variant of Mosin–Nagant) and a Suomi KP/-31 submachine gun. Häyhä is believed to have killed over 500 enemy soldiers during the conflict, the highest number of sniper kills in any major war. Consequently, he is often regarded as the deadliest sniper in history.

                To be fair, half of them were with his SMG. But all his kills happened in a period of less than 100 days, so he averaged about 5 per day. On his busiest day, he killed 25 Russians with just his rifle.

                Yep, though with Simo Hayha the soviets were making it relatively easy for him given his skills. If memory serves right it took the Soviets quite awhile to figure out that camouflage is good in the snow.
