I think a pretty large portion of that audience is more than happy to drink from a well they know is poisoned.

I hear that once again the largest migrant caravan ever is on the way to the border. Funny how they always seem to coincide with an election year.

So, uh, I just posted it because the OP doesn't explicitly say it's for American mass shootings. It made sense to me to post it here instead of a new thread.

rants Haters/Complainers: Legacy of Spleen
PenguinBoss replied to mthor's topic in General Discussion
It's that time of the week again. The line literally just went out (Phone rang once, then there was a lot of static, now nothing) and the website still isn't working a week later. And of course, I have a psychiatrist appointment over the phone in the morning, so pretty much guaranteed that's not happening. -

Oh hey, I forgot about this thread

Monster Hunter: Rise Played through, what I assume to be, the main story in both single and multiplayer. Now it's all grinding to unlock extra hunts and making money, which doesn't excite me as much as it used to.

rants Haters/Complainers: Legacy of Spleen

I've been without a phone since Saturday, and every time I go to report it on ATT's website, I get an error. I was decidedly less pissed when it was a long weekend, even though that shit should be solved within minutes given how big the company is. And, what's worse is that I'm sure the issue is people cutting/stealing the line again, since that's been the monthly, sometimes weekly, problem the past 2 or 3 years. As far as I know, all they do is replace the line in what I imagine is a flimsy plastic box that some redneck can open in 5 seconds. -
I still think there’s a red herring here

Pretty sure he's talking about his several personalities. -
Mass shootings in the US are only occasional in reference to itself. Compared to anywhere else, it's very frequent. I feel like you're also only including shootings with like 20 deaths, while I think only... 4(?) casualties are needed to be defined as a mass shooting. Following that, I think it's more than occasional, even by American standards. But yeah, I'm arguing semantics. To me, claiming that they're occasional feels like you're downplaying the problem. Although we can both agree occasional is still far too often. As far as your posts, I'm not reading them, but I don't mind conceding that guards can work. However, the question is: Does it curb more shootings than addressing the underlying issues would? Edit: Sorry, didn't mean posts, meant links.

Occasional is doing a lot of heavy lifting in that last sentence.

We've had 20+ years to figure it out, but we can't get any legislation passed to see what will work. I will tell you that "Good guy with a gun" bs hasn't seemed to help, so I don't know why you think it would, now. Maybe you realize that expanding police is the only thing that government can manage to do.

So I backed Eiyuuden Chronicles on Kickstarter and the shorter companion game came out on the 12th, and I still haven't gotten to play it. I didn't know I needed to connect my KS account to the site that is fulfilling orders, so I'll put that on me (Although I mentioned that in one of my first e-mails and they didn't find it prudent to give me access to it). Finally I got a code for Steam on Monday, and it was already used. Even though I sent another e-mail on Monday, they haven't gotten back to me, so it'll be at least 3 weeks after its release before I finally get to play something I paid for a year and a half ago. -
That doesn't sound nearly as traumatic as wearing a piece of cloth over your face.

Just a reminder that half the country will vote for this guy in 2 years time.
