  • (you can have tracker free ads)

    In theory, yes. But in practice? It’s quite rare these days.

    (Honestly, I don’t even see why they want to track users so much. Is it really that effective? You could just have targeted ads based on the content of the web page you’re on, rather than based on the identity of the user. That should still target your ads pretty well, and without infringing on anyone’s privacy in the slightest. Plus, you don’t need the overhead of maintaining a giant database of every potential customer in the world.)

    No, these have a legitimate use. They can be used in combination with other targets for shoot/no-shoot drills, where some of the targets on the range are legitimate targets you need to hit and others are no-shoot targets you’re penalized for hitting. (They need to otherwise look just like the legitimate targets, which is why it’s still done in the same style, with hit zones and everything. Because you’re training to recognize the difference between a phone and a weapon (under stress and quickly), and if there were other ways to distinguish the target, you might be mis-training. For example, if it had big red ‘no shoot’ lettering on it, you could easily end up training to look for and recognize that text, rather than looking for and recognizing what the person is holding.)

    For example, you could be doing a room-clearing exercise with several targets in the room. One like this, other ones pointing a gun at you. And (as quickly as possible) you need to identify the ones that are a threat, shoot them, and not shoot this one.

    Used properly, targets like this could help train the piggies to not shoot unarmed civilians.

    Now are these targets being used properly as no-shoot targets? Or are the piggies having fun with their fantasies of shooting people who try to hold them accountable? That’s … a question.
