Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.

I've never been tased but I strongly suspect it would be taser, tear gas, pepper spray from best to worst. The effects of pepper spray is intense and long lasting, even when you shower after pepper spray will leave your pores and hit your face again, and maybe even run down to your junk if you aren't careful
I have experience with both from the military. Tear gas isn’t as bad as being tased. Also tear gas you build up a tolerance.
Wait wait wait wait.
How did you end up getting tear gassed in the military? How did you end up getting tased in the military? Why? Who would think that was useful or necessary?
I knew a guy in the army. It was part of his training for gas masks.
I don't know about getting tased, but getting tear gassed in the gas chamber is a standard part of basic training.

When I was in we had to requalify every year. You can actually build up a tolerance so its not that bad.
You train with tear gas to get you used to it and to get you to trust in your gas mask. First in basic and then again every few months. With the taser we used them during combatives training so you would know what it feels like in case someone stole yours and used it against you. The thought is it may help you prevent you pissing your pants.
I got pepper sprayed in the military. In order to be allowed to wear pepper spray on our belts (for law enforcement), we had to be pepper sprayed and fight someone off.
I found it strange, because it's not like we had to know what it was like to be shot and fight back. It was also one of the worst experiences of my life. Getting accidentally splashed across the eyes with hot sauce ended up not so bad simply by comparison, so I had that going for me.
My uncle went to job core to become a security guard and they oc sprayed him.
Did you ride the full 8 on the taser, or did they make you do the instructor 100 seconds?
I’d agree the 100 looks horrible, give me the spray in that case.
