  • The short version is he’s using the gun wrong.

    The longer version is an AR-15 has a button on it (the thing he’s pulling in the pic) that is used to fix a very specific problem (specifically making sure that the bolt of the gun is fully closed, because otherwise if you fire it the gun will malfunction). In counterstrike 1.6, all the characters used that button essentially as the guns slide, which you use to put a round in the chainber to be fired (the same way the action hero pumps a shotgun with a click clack to make sure you know he means business).

    So the title is sarcastic, because someone pulling on the forward assist like it’s a slide has no idea what the fuck they’re doing.

















  • I work at a call center for insurance stuff and regularly have people start the call with ‘REPRESENTATIVE’ or ‘SPEAK TO A HUMAN’ because they think I’m still a part of the IVR system. One thing to keep in mind with any call center, is that no matter how specific you feel like your problem is, that rep has said that exact same line thousands of times, probably a few times that same day. For a lot of issues, it’s the same thing, just swap some names and numbers. And when you say the same thing over and over, you get really good at communicating the exact information that someone needs with as few of the little imperfections that’s make a conversation sound ‘human’ as possible.
