There’s a reason most fire the famous Barrett M82 .50 cal sniper rifle using the set of attached legs. It weighs 30 lbs and spans over 50 inches.
Of course, Former Army Ranger sniper Ryan Cleckner has no need for assistance. After being badgered all day at the range by the Texas Triggers crew, he finally showed off his skills by hitting a target at 1,000 yards away. On his first try. Standing up.
Since debuting over the weekend, the new video has been seen over half a million times.
This teacher isn’t the first, and she most likely will not be the last.
Last winter, the web was shocked when a career teacher in Rhode Island quit from his post by reading his resignation later on the Internet.
The reason for stepping down, he said, was because for decades now the education system has blindly worshiped standardized testing in place of actual learning and teaching.
Veteran teacher I Quit You Can’t Fire Me says that like so many teachers, she wanted to help her community as a teacher, and loved the hard work.
But over the past 15 years she has noticed a disturbing trend that countless other teachers and parents are picking up on.
“The emphasis in education has shifted from fostering academic and personal growth to demanding uniformity and conformity. Raising students’ test goals is now the only goal in teaching. Everything I loved about teaching is extinct.”
It’s not like these singers are plucked out of the crowd last minute. They all have plenty of time to brush up on the lyrics, and if they are doubtful, just bring a piece of a paper along with you just in case.
That would look a whole lot better than what Canadian singer Alexis Normand did at the Portland Winterhawks-Halifax Mooseheads game.
There are few ways of describing her performance other than ‘butchered,’ and now she is quickly going viral for her epic failure.
Last night she tweeted, “I’m embarrassed and deeply sorry. I wish I’d had more time to learn the American anthem.”
Abercrombie & Fitch has been battered with negative press ever since the CEO of the fashion clothing brand publicly announced that he only wanted ‘the cool kids’ to wear his clothing. That’s why he only hires attractive people and doesn’t make plus sizes of his clothes.
(Apparently no other clothing company hires attractive people…)
The web exploded in anger to this revelation.
As a way to stick it to the man, Gkarber set out to change the brand. He bought out all the A&F clothing he could find at the thrift shop, and headed to Skid Row in Los Angeles, one of America’s largest populations of homeless people, where he handed out the high fashion clothes to the needy.
Now, in just two days, the video has garnered over 1.9 million views, and a grueling debate over the content creator’s tactics.
Many feel involving the homeless was taking advantage of them. BeauxSelector asks, “Er…but what if the homeless don’t want to be ‘Fitched’?! I’m sure people living on the street might welcome new or warmer clothing, but to use them as pawns for this sort of agenda seems a bit misguided to be honest.”
Norman Dreger was taking a nice day on the lake when he caught a beautiful Dolly Varden Char. He quickly grabbed his camera to record his triumphant catch, but then something incredible happened.
An American Bald Eagle swooped down and stole the char right off his fishing line. Norman posted the short yet amazing video over last weekend, and now it has garnered over one million views.
