Why would someone carry all of that? Are you people retarded or something?
>>745682904
All what? Gun w/ 2 mags is pretty standard. Knife gets used on a daily basis. Flashlights do as well, and batteries run down. Flash drive is necessary. Wallet and cell phone are necessary. Multitool was used > 20 times today alone.

Good one, friend.
I'm a well-adjusted 25 y/o off-duty Advanced-EMT with a fiancee. I don't think my EDC makes her love me any less. She carries a glock 42 in a belly band holster.

Most everything besides the guns are used daily by people who like work with their hands, and the gun is a right to Americans. Luckily, nobody makes you do everything. Some people just prefer to be more capable at any given notice.
>>745682356
>>745683538
lol everything looks so pristine. Looks like everything just came out of the box. Can't call edc if they ain't being used.
>>745683538
You've got the right answer on people who work with their hands. I spent half of today under desks or working inside computers. Tools are necessary, half the day is night on average, and there are always people out there who need shooting.
>>745682356
Oh boy, another thread where Amerilards bump obliviously into the fact that most people on earth don't walk around armed, and magically have a much lower chance of getting hurt with weapons.

No. I'm an IT guy who uses tools and carries a gun. Most of the IT guys are into guns in this part of the world.
Just phone, bunch of keys, car key and the wallet. I don't live in particularly good neighborhood but it's fucking Finland so no need to carry a revolver or anything with me.

Why should we care if you carry weapons? Why should you care if we do? I'm less likely to be harmed when I carry because I can defend myself. Go be a sheep someplace else.

OP here.
Knife is a few months old since switchblades used to be illegal here. Phone is 3 days old. The flashlight has anodization wear, the LCR barrel area has plenty of residue from being fired this month if you zoom in and see its brown/dull looking, and there is wear on the wallet.
I also rotate out knives because I have quite a few in the carry rotation.

You don't get it. We don't live in fear. Your projection doesn't come close to understanding why someone would carry a gun. Do you have a fire extinguisher? Smoke detector? Does your car (if you have one) tell you when your tires are low?
>>745684580
Thanks, loved it.
>>745684406
>>745685138
Here's the thing - carrying a gun is not something one does "out of fear". You don't understand the depth of your own emotional projection. We have all of those safety steps in our lives, and more by choice. It is a small piece of insurance to give a fighting chance in the small chance something fucked happens. There is no place in the world completely devoid of random violence. It has factually been dropping consistently for decades in the US (outside of publicicized incidents and lefty-metros)

>>745686000
It's probably hopeless trying to get through to them. We disagree w/ their world view, therefore we are wrong. They probably haven't seen enough of the world if they think there are safe places. I've run across half a dozen thugs armed with switchblades on a train in Europe. A gun would have been an excellent backup.

I guess you're no one since you're replying, and there are several of us here who carry guns. Why are you so butthurt that people are different from you? I wouldn't live someplace I couldn't carry a gun, and I've never had to use it in over 30 years of carrying one. Haven't had to use my fire extinguishers either.

People who work with their hands carry at most a multitool.
Source: 2017 where toolbags are finally accessible to everyone
>>745682356
How do you find the recoil with the 357 loads? I've been deciding on either a 442 .38 or the LCR .38 as my first gun/CC. Any thoughts?
>>745687637
get a 9mm semi-auto if you are really serious about carrying a gun for protection.
>>745684820
Weird how these "action ready" dorks never actually stop mass shootings.
>>745687711
Not sure I'd be super comfortable with one in the chamber and a SA trigger (or a light DA). Figured a heavy DA on a revolver would be good.
>>745684950
>I also rotate out knives because I have quite a few in the carry rotation.
You are such a cringecow loser, im going to use that absolutely faggotous line to start bait threads from now on
>>745687630
In what universe do people carry at most a multitool? Are you talking hipsters in skinny jeans that say they work with their hands, or the guy who needs a tool now instead of the tool bag which is 100 yards away in his truck? I've got more tools in the truck. I just rarely need them.
>>745687813
>Not sure I'd be super comfortable with one in the chamber
then you should not carry a gun until you get more practice/experience.
>>745687735
they actually do all the time, you just never hear about them.
although they are usually older dudes I've noticed, not /b/tards
>>745687946
Yeeaaahhhh, theres quite a difference between a SA/light DA and a heavy DA. Not quite sure thats fair to say mayne.
>>745687951
Lol, right, I forgot about the fake media not reporting those incidents.

100% correct.

I'm not there to stop mass shootings. I'm there to protect myself and my family. I MIGHT do something to stop a mass shooting, but that's not my job. It's a job for the police, but WAIT they don't have any responsibility to help you either. I guess you're on your own.
>>745688241
Please explain.
>>745688083
what fair to say is they should not be carrying a gun yet, for everyone's sake.
>>745687637
>>745687813
The .357's are not bad with any of the grips with Hogue Tamers. Just use the lighter weight bullets too. I shoot 125gr .357's no issue. Bit many great carry guns exist that have good striker triggers or are dao. No more dangerous than a snub. Personal preference really.
>>745687630
Opinion - the post.
>>745687735
Plenty of armed bad people that start shooting get killed by average joes. They don't rack up a killcount because they died right there. CCW is for in-the-moment proximity, not chasing down th the perp like a retard hero after he's already got a 6-0 KD spread.

May I ask what you need a knife for daylie?
>>745688462
I used the knife, multitool, and flashlight today. All of them. There is this phenomena called "lack of light." Perhaps you'd know of it if you got out of your mom's basement or if she turns the light off on you. Other than that, opening boxes, cutting zip ties, and generally opening/closing things w/ screwdrivers and pliers. Those are daily events.
How many of you drive yellow Hummers?
>>745688665
mine is yellow/gray 2 tone, does that count?
>>745688637
im guessing he uses it to cut things
>>745688188
not at all. i'm not even a part of this thread, i just saw your retarded statement from the front page. there are literally thousands of cases where lunatics with knives, or armed robberies are prevented by armed citizens.
how about the off-duty cop who stopped a movie theater shooting 2 years ago? it's not my responsibility to look up examples for you. use google you fucking sperg.
>>745688472
I don't have time for people who might actually carry a gun, but aren't taking the initiative to be trained well enough to know why that's retarded. And if he's carrying a gun, he shouldn't be a delicate snowflake.
>>745688663
Seems like the multitool has that all covered, like i said. Flashlight already on the phone bro. Nice try tittyboy.
>>745688637
Boxes and other packages are the biggest thing, but it's a general use tool. I cut hoses w/ it, flexible conduit, scrape things, and otherwise abuse it. Last thing I used it for was touching up the edge on a kitchen knife when I was fixing dinner tonight.

No. Different types of knives, and the multitool isn't clipped to my pocket where I can reach it when I only have one hand available. Flashlight on my phone is useless when I need a bright light and it runs my battery down. I"m also not standing w/ my phone on a 10' ladder when I can drop it. Any more stupid comments?

>>745689563
I have all the tools I need on my for 95% of what I do. If I need something else it's generally a specialized tool like a buttset, punchdown tool, or a cordless drill.
The gun goes with me regardless. It's one of those things you carry and hope you never need.

when people feel that a gun will save them but in the end we all die. pointless logic.
in what situation do you see yourself in where you will need to pull a revolver out of your pocket to shoot someone? I mean has it happened to anyone here where it saved their life? what makes people this much of a pussy that they feel more protected carrying one?

Everyone dies. If you're going to take that to an extreme, get rid of any fire extinguishers, fire alarms, locks on your doors, and don't ever go to the doctor. You decide what risks you want to deal with and how you want to deal with them. I'll do the same.
>>745689999

A knife is a usefull thing to have on hand and take up very little pocket space.
>>745682356
where the fuck you live, the deep Bronx?
>>745689999
Why do you freak out over a fucking knife? It's a tool which many of us carry and use every day, and yes it is easy to touch up the edge on a knife if you have another smooth piece of steel. If you never touch up the edges on your kitchen knives, are they all dull, or do you eat out all the time and never use one? Knives have to be sharpened.
>>745690181
>I cannot think of a situation I have been in where I would need anything other than that

This is objectively wrong.
>then you should not carry a gun until you get more practice/experience.
Objectively right.
>Yeeaaahhhh, theres quite a difference between a SA/light DA and a heavy DA. Not quite sure thats fair to say mayne
Wrong. If those reasons are why someone is uncomfortable carrying worth a round chambered, they need more training, period. A heavy pull won't fix that. A poor workman blames his tools. You can't seriously be arguing against that. Anyone who also considers or advocates finger fucking around trying to chamber a round in a cc self defense situation is at best misinformed and retarded.
Get trained.

risks? where do you live a third world country? ever been in a combat zone? why would you even compare a gun to a things like fire alarms? a gun is not for defense, that's what a bullet proof vest is for. i have never seen anyone, proactively 'defend' themselves with a gun, it's always a reactionary situation. defense is preparation, having that shit in a your pocket isn't being prepared.

It's not carrying a gun to feel safe. It's carrying a gun to protect myself and my family. I know there is no place on earth that is "safe," but you take what precautions you feel are necessary for the risks that concern you. A gun doesn't weight much and doesn't cost me anything to carry. It might save my life. It might give me a choice of how I die instead of having no choice. It will probably just weight my pants down and wear holes in my pockets. I'm ok with that. My goal is to make it through my life and never need it.
>>745690637
i guess you fought for our country and know all about being shot at or being in an actual dangerous place.

>>745691224

>>745691095
>bullet proof vest
Stopped right there.
>>745691281
just as easily as a gun could save your life, making smart choices can do that same. its just as easy to avoid a situation where you would need a gun as it is to carry one.
unless you are dealing drugs or live in a very shady ass area, i can't really justify one.
that said, i think everyone has the right to carry one, but i have the right to call you a pussy for doing so.
>>745690959
I dont think you quite understood what I was saying here. I'm not saying people should carry an auto without a round in the chamber. People carry revolvers for the reason I stated all the fucking time, not everyone wants to carry an auto for fuck sakes.
>>745691095
Nope. I live in the US, and the risks are small, but the consequences can be extreme if you don't have it when you need it. Why do you care? It doesn't involve you?
I compare a gun to a fire extinguisher because you have it to counter a threat. I have a gun to deal with animals or people which threaten me. I have fire extinguishers to put out fires. Bullet proof (resistant) vests aren't going to stop a problem. You don't stop someone shooting at you by hoping they run out of ammo before they shoot you in the head.
>>745690637

Not trolling here, genuine thought. I see lots of these threads everywhere showing off gear and sidearms, yet I rarely (I've heard a few) hear of "good guy with gun saves day" stories.
>>745691488
he's right!
>>745691488
I don't care if you justify one. That's the beauty of a free country, I've been in several situations over the years where I could have shot someone, but by being alert and screwing w/ their OODA loop I managed to get out and nobody had more holes than they arrived with.
>>745691820
They don't typically circulate past local news, state news in smaller states. Big media doesn't think you need/want to see it. Feel free to search around. Defensive Gun Use statistics and number of recorded incidents are surprisingly high. As an AEMT I've responded to 2, never made the big news.
>>745691760
Lol, I'm not trained at all. I dont own a gun, like I said earlier. I'm merely asking questions and stating facts, like people carry revolvers for the reason I said all the time, and your training has fuck all to do with that fact. Sure, maybe more training would make them feel comfortable with carrying an auto, but there are millions of people who carry revolvers. Again, no need to be an elitist.
>>745691635
Well put. But there's no use explaining this to anyone who doesn't understand it.
>>745691820
Hang around with shooters enough and you'll hear some. Read National Rifleman and you'll read about more. You're not looking if you're not hearing about them, and the beauty of carrying a gun is that it's doing it's job just being there. It's like the fire extinguisher I mentioned above. You have it in the hopes you won't need it, but if you need it there's no substitute.
>>745686730

>>745691635
it's 4chan, people post here, people respond, that's the point.
Sorry, guess I should have known how shoot outs work, since those happen in life all the time by outstanding law abiding citizens who just want to practice their second amendment right.
it's not going to happen, here's how guns work. the dude who shoots first wins. you die. people who are going to shoot at a distance, will practice shooting. those who don't would probably pull one on you to mug you etc... at that point they are close range and you die.
i just want a valid scenario where you don't pull out your gun first and it's self defense. (defending your house doesn't require a hand gun in a pocket which is how this thread started, so don't use that one which is valid)
>>745692108
That isn't why someone should choose a revolver over something else...
>>745691760
If it all comes down to training, why doesnt everyone carry a G19.
>>745692108
I see very few people carrying revolvers w/ the current state of small semi auto handguns. It's mostly old curmudgeons who are set in their ways.
>>745689999
Checked
>>745692329
I said I was looking into DA revolvers and, because I dont have the training, said I wasnt sure if an auto would be a swell choice, especially since it'd deep carry. A revolver is a sure 5 shots.
>>745691939
explain those situations. you sound like a real bad ass.
>>745692297
You know you're wrong don't you? Most people shot with handguns live. They're not a magic death ray, and there's a reason for a failure to stop drill or mozambique drill. It's also harder than you think to hit a target under stress. I'll take my chances with the criminals and put my training and gear against their's. What the worst thing that happens? I die? If I'm shooting I would probably already be dead without it.
>>745690630
That Bosche orbital is real trash for everything except the smallest high grit jobs. Otherwise a fine edc my handsworkman
>>745692525
Mostly sure. You can generally fix a problem w/ a semi auto w/ tap rack bang. With a revolver, you can pull the trigger again, but if it's tied up where it won't rotate you're probably done until you get some tools and time to fix it.
>>745692717
so you get shot, you have the state of mind to shoot back? you think at the point you pull a gun out of your pocket they don't start shooting more?
the part about stress, you get shot first, it's very hard for you to shoot them back.

>>745692342
I think you misunderstood. I carry a da/sa or da. Used to carry a glock not saying one is better.
>>745692525
I understand anon. At least level here and understand that if you admit you aren't very comfortable in general, the determining factor of success in self defense is training. That includes recognizing situations and avoiding, all the way up to weapons use. Revolvers are fine man. It's just not as important. At all.
>>745692832
Well sure, but you could only get one shot off with an auto if youre firing from a pocket.
>>745686730
I lost my shit when i saw that floppy disc
>>745692556
The very lowest number by any peer reviewed study on US lawful defensive gun uses was 55,000 https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Defensive_gun_use
The highest estimates over 4 million per year in unreported events that still legally defend something or someone. They just dont call the police when they let the bad guy away and don't fire shots.

Had someone pull a gun on me at the range. Had a friend of a friend pull one on me in high school. Had half a dozen french thugs w/ switchblades on a train between Paris and Frankfurt. A couple of guys tried to mug us on vacation one year. Had some thugs in the French Quarter who were eyeing us like a cat eyes a mouse. None of us got shot, and I got out of it. Live a bit and you'll find no place is safe.

>>745692860
From my experience under stress I'd say the odds are in my favor I shoot back. You're also assuming standing there shooting at each other like it's some kind of revolutionary war battle. And you're assuming they hit. Have you seen the percentage of hits in a lot of gunfights?
That also covers why you carry extra ammo.
At least partially. Cover and distance are your friend when dealing with that type of situation. Both of those reward training over luck by making it harder for them to hit you.
>>745693071
>Had someone pull a gun on me at the range.
Fucking irony right there.
Exactly, no place is safe, a gun doesn't make you any more safe, it can escalate a situation in ways you can't predict that can fuck up your life more than avoiding bad situations.
I have had a gun pulled on me multiple times, each time, I could just walk away or talk them down so I wasn't shot. Didn't once need a gun or to fight to walk away.
>>745692986
You don't fire from the pocket. You carry it in the pocket, or on your belt. You draw and fire. The beauty of pocket carry is you can walk w/ your hand in your pocket if necessary and already have a firing grip on the gun where it's fast and easy to draw if necessary.
>>745682356
Why do you carry so many spare rounds for your revolver? do you have some Revolver Ocelot fantasy anon?
You should really get something you can realistically reload like an LCP or a little Walther if you're not a poorfag.
>>745689185
Damn dude, what kind of knife is that? I like! Classy.
>>745693409
Is there a holster that you dont have to tuck in your shirt to wear (one thats comfortable against skin)?
>>745693321
>>745693321
Cover? Like.... a tactical situation? I feel like people have very active imaginations of what getting a gun pulled on you is like. Or what situation causes you to need a gun in the first place. I don't think it's a normal reaction to think you need to carry a gun in your pocket.
To have one in your car, your house or otherwise sure. But in your pocket? That's just insecurity.
>>745693379
A gun makes me more safe. It gives me options. It also makes the criminals around here less likely to attack people because they know a significant percentage of us carry guns, and they don't know which ones.
>>745693462
Tbh i put 2 reloads in the old glove pouch I had because 2 fit. I have a different glove pouch for my EMS duty belt now.
I also have a p226, a 4" 1911 and an LCP2 if that counts at all.

>>745693321
Just stop he's not going to get it bro.
>>745693579
Lots of them. Kydex holsters w/ leather backing work well, but if you carry very long you'll find it's better to wear an undershirt so you have it between you and the gun.
>>745693462
they have to because they are retarded because they chose to trust their life to a gun with shit ammo capacity when they could get a semi-auto and carry 2x the ammo without having to reload. it's like buying a car with only a 5 gallon gas thank, of course you now have to carry a couple jerry cans of gasoline or youre fucked.
>>745693688
I believe it makes us safer from invasion, but criminals who are willing to pull a gun on people are generally stupid and don't have a plan. Smart criminals don't want extra charges brought on them if caught.
>>745693281
Yet somehow criminals have guns... it's stupid.
>>745693817
Do you have any experience with the SIG P238? That was the auto I was considering.
>>745693931
Oh, no, see-If we make guns hard to get, then crime goes away.....right?
>>745693589
Cover like training. There is cover all around you. There is also concealment, and there is a difference. There is also movement that will take you to cover, and a target which is moving side to side or at an angle is much harder to hit. If you're alert it's possible sometimes to set yourself up with cover before it all blows up. Practice, training, and luck.
>>745693579
>>745693817
ive carried with a crossbreed minituck for a couple years, never needed an undershirt or anything, it's never bothered me comfort wise at all, even in the hot summer.

I'm not who you were asking, but I have shot 2 of them, they are fine little guns if you're happy with 380.
>>745691488
I live in Chicago, I think I have a legitimate reason to carry a gun.
>>745694021
yeah, i carry smoke canisters for concealment all the time, red, green and yellow depending on what type of message i need to relay to the cav units behind me. i also have my forward observers ready to call out air strikes, just in case my handy pocket handgun can't be reached in time.
this all sounds legit.
>>745693974
Sig used to make good guns. Since things got broken up I don't think it's quite so good. The 320 has major issues. I think if I was going to get a Sig I'd get an older one, preferably one stamped "Made in West Germany" from when they made high quality guns.
usual stuff. The ipod and knife and shades are usually left in the car though
>>745694212
I can agree with this. But do you keep it in your pocket or car?
>>745694148
>>745693974
different anon here, 380 is stupid, no reason to not just get a 9mm.
>>745694212
Where in Chicago do you live if you dont mind me asking
The snack that smiles back ;)...
Oh, and I almost forgot about cacodyal
>>745694232
That's a little extreme. I don't know anyone who conceal carries who can call in backup. You're all alone w/ your choices at that point. Any good Boy Scout knows it's best to be prepared.
>>745691939
Alright boot. Fucking using OODA loop in a normal every day conversation. Did you get out a boot camp yesterday or some shit?
>>745694290
What good is a gun in your car, or at home? If I'm in my car I've got a better weapon than a handgun. I've got a 6000 lb weapon.
Why do these always degenerate into lefty righty pissing contests? Some of us carry guns, some of us don't. Post what you use and carry daily and move on for fucks sake

My safety is on my trigger. If I don't pull it, it doesn't go off, and I appendix carry quite a bit, so I have a loaded Glock pointing there.
Every time I see some idiot who carries a gun (even a subcompact) with a couple mags...plus all the other derpy shit...I just picture them wearing the dumbest, baggiest looking jeans, or cargo pants with oversized shirts to "conceal" all the lumps and shit in their pockets. Might as well shoot your dick off. You're clearly never going to use it.
>>745682356
why do you carry this?
did you do something wrong to someone or people?
>>745694489
because people want to understand others mindsets, to try to get their head around the world they live in.
regardless of which side you are on, everyone thinks the world is equally fucked up just in different ways. part of the human experience is to discuss it. we all just want to understand each other until we think the other person is retarded. thats just how life works.
>>745694639
you have yet to say why anyone should get 380 over 9mm. if anything you just backed my opinion, thanks.
>>745694605
Yeah I understand that but you sound stupid actually using the term instead of using words regular people understand
>>745694726
fuck off faggot, i wear a trenchcoat i can conceal 4+ rifles in there.
>>745694726
Lots of us carry that stuff, don't wear cargo pants, and still get laid. The trick is to find a good woman who understands real men who carry things instead of wanting skinny jean metrosexuals. Fortunately once you get away from the East and Left coasts and the big cities the percentage of good women goes way up.

Nope. I do it because I legally can. The knife is a (expensive hobbyist) tool, and the legally carried firearm is because I morally belive in my right to carry.

.380 has killed many many people over the years. It is easier to control and shoots more comfortably in most micro platforms, which he asked about specifically. No need to be so assertive with your opinions friend.

>>745691095
>>745691635
literally this.
I carry a pistol in my car because I live in a rural area and there are hogs and coyotes and shit and if you break down and have to walk at night you don't want to be staring down a bobcat and have nothing to hit it with. Imagine a vicious pitbull on a kid and everyone's hitting it with bats and rocks and etc and no one can stop it. I've seen it. No one had a gun to kill it almost immediately and the kid almost died before the dog could be subdued when a man brought a fire axe out of a cabin. arguably the pistol could have been used to the same effect but if you're a frail old lady you're not going to be able to swing an axe at a big dog like that, so we have guns.
I'm not the biggest guy, even though I'm pretty big, so I carry a gun.
Because I can. The only people who have are the people who can't .
>>745695010
Yep on point.
>>745694922
if being called a faggot bothers you, I have no idea why you use the internet.
>>745694982
you can get low recoil 9mm loads, plus there is a much larger variety of 9mm to choose from if youre not a 50lb grandma who can barely handle 22lr.

shutup faggot
>>745695049
Yep my bad.
>>745695012
I can say for a fact that hanging around with shooters that term almost never greeted brought up seriously. Even in the military. And if it is missy proteome think there are stupid for it . We understands the concept. You don't have to use the abbreviation. Also we both know 90% of the people here will not look that up. They don't care enough and are just going to say you sound dumb.

Why do you assume less educated? We do have universities and lots of people attend them. As to violence, I haven't been in a fight in decades. I'm reasonably trained and prepared if necessary, but things like being alert and a knowledge of OODA (ha!) loops have kept me out of trouble.

.380 is a lighter 9mm bullet in a case that's 2mm shorter. The more you know. And we weren't talking about grandma's or .22's. You're so triggered that strangers were talking about a caliber you don't like that you're resorting to hyperbole as if it matters a whole lot.
>>745695167
Strangely enough it works. Or works a good percentage of the time. When we had the two guys trying to mug us the monkey part of my brain was telling me this is bad. This is really bad. Screwing w/ their OODA loop confused them, and let me get to my vehicle w/o killing either of them. I call it a success, and a confirmation that a quick mind and the proper training is useful.
>>745685045
Lol.
>>745695197
No, I mean women are literally less educated away from the east and west coast and major cities.
>>745695490
Look man. I'm not saying your concept is flawed. It's not. Just...you sound like a military wanna be or a boot for actually using the term instead of talking like a normal person.
>>745695221
It's just what the statistics say on education level and women who stay after domestic abuse (the statistic I used to say, accept violence).
It's not an assumption, I really don't have a leg in the race as I require college education of anyone I would date or marry.
>>745695028
I'm an angry tired person. 290 has restrike capability, one consistent da heavy but smooth pull. No safety which for me is key for a cc. And you can ride the hammer on holstering, to detect any snags. Can be found for under $450. Eventually I'll get the p30sk as my in between, I love that gun. Although it's probably bigger than what you're looking for. I'm off to bed lol.

>>745695464
i just dont understand why people settle for mediocrity when it comes to something that someday might be used to possibly save their or someone else's life. there is a reason why 9mm is much more popular and it has nothing to do with marketing gimmicks or subjective opinions. but w/e it's a free country, it's your right to not be rational nor logical.
>>745695542
Define education? Why is education your only criteria? I'd put intelligence above it, and loyalty too for that matter. Education is only a plus when it's something useful. A degree in Women's Studies so you can work at Starbucks with student loans you'll never pay off doesn't seem intelligent to me.
We have plenty of well educated women, and plenty of universities. I've spent my time in the shithole that's called Chicagoland around what you are calling valuable. One of the best days of my life was watching Illinois fade in the rear view mirror.

>>745695951
education just makes it easier to get a job, which generally leads to a better life and less hardship. defining intelligence is fairly hard, all of humanity is very fucking stupid, the fact we give such credit to our own intelligence is just hubris, so trying to go that subjective route rather than giving them credit for being diligent and putting effort in makes less sense to me.
