Kids Try Exotic Fruits

cloudballoon says...

I'll not tell your mama what you said she said

I'm good with swearing if effective (i.e. use sparringly). Moms that say it appropriately that instill absolute fear on children is pretty badass in my book. My mom don't swear, but she's as good as shooting lasers from her eyes whenever she's... displeased and turn dead silent. Same shit.

she didn't really say "fuckin'. i just made that up for the funny.

Ukrainian president refuses to leave Kiev

vil says...

I dont think this is a good time, but he was a comedian before he became president. The world has no idea how good he was...

In short he can play a badass well, but his situation is more than precarious. If the west does not get its act together, he is dead. Literally dead.

Ukrainian president refuses to leave Kiev

moonsammy says...

Man, he even sounds like a cold badass. Whereas the guy who tried to extort him always sounds like a wheedling braggart moron.

Godzilla Vs Gamera (fan film)

Removal of Asian giant hornet 'murder hornet' nest

Digitalfiend jokingly says...

You know a bug is going to be badass when it sounds like an A-10 on a strafing run... Man those things are HUGE and it's scary to think they've made their way over to Canada (so far just BC).

I'm usually all for live-and-let-live but certain things like mosquitos, deer flies, ticks, and now murder hornets can just f*ck off.

The Onion Reviews 'Dawn of the Planet of the Apes'

cloudballoon says...

The most badass-est movie reviews of all times!

Even though, for me, the rebooted PotA series is the better of the modern blockbuster series. Honestly, not trying to be a troll and fan flames here, but I do like this series far more than the Marvel Avengers series. Most X-Men, Deadpools, Daredevil & Punisher (on Netflix) are great, just not the ones connected to the Avengers.

Terminator: Dark Fate - Official Trailer (2019) - Paramount

cloudballoon says...

Well... the cliché is as old as cinema, true, BUT, if there's THE one female badass that truly would behave as such IRL, it would be Post-T2 Sarah Connor, isn't it? Both character (Sarah) AND actress (Linda Hamilton) EARNED the "calmly walk away from explosions" shtick in my book.

The All-time Greatest On-Screen Female Badass #1 & #2 gotta be between Sarah Connor or Ripley from Alien. For me I'd pick Sarah as #1. My jaw dropped so hard seeing the changes of Hamilton from T1 to T2. Freaking amazing.

BSR said:

Sarah Calmer? Wha...?

OK, the calm walking away from large explosions is getting really old.

I'd even bet there is a close up shot of a foot stepping out onto the ground from a car too. Haven't seen that compilation yet.

Brett Kavanaugh Is a Terrible Judge & a Liar...

Asmo says...

You wouldn't be a Spartan... While all the men would be doing manly things, you'd be whining about how no one cares about your feelings and how oppressed you were. Fuck, even the women would be more manly than you. And the children. Possibly also the domesticated animals (seriously, Spartan chickens would be badass...)

But I like where you're going with the whole "caring, tolerant leftist advocates mass infanticide" shtick. Really gives you tonnes of moral high ground to ride that high horse around on. X D

Skyrim: Very Special Edition

Brass Against - Wake Up

MilkmanDan says...

FUCK YEAH!

Accomplishing the guitar solo parts with strong suits of various brass -- sax, trombone, trumpet: Awesome.

Female singer keeping the feel and style of the original (male) vocals, while also putting a unique spin on it: Awesome.

Idea, execution, production: Awesome.

That's a full-on trifecta of badass!

John Oliver - Parkland School Shooting

criticalthud says...

In 1934 the Thompson submachine gun was banned partly because of it's image and connection to Gansters and gangster lifestyle.
In the same way the AR-15 has an image and connection to a different lifestyle: that of the special ops badass chuck norris/arnold/navy seal killing machine. then they join a militia, all sporting these military weapons. there's a fuckin LOOK to it. a feel, a code, an expectation there. It's socialized into us.

That image is big fuckin factor in just how attractive that particular weapon is to a delusional teenager.

MilkmanDan said:

Thanks for that link -- really good.

I do think that "the left" is perhaps a bit too focused on specific weapon or accessory types. AR-15's, bump stocks, magazine sizes, etc. It's not completely ridiculous to say that if we banned AR-15's with 20-30 shot magazines, most of these shooters would just move on to the next best thing; maybe a Ruger Mini 14 or something with a 15 shot magazine.

Would that mitigate some of the deadly potential? Sure. Slightly. But it wouldn't prevent things at all, just (slightly) mitigate them. That might be worth doing, but it isn't beneficial enough to be what we should be focusing on.


I think two things could help contribute to prevention. Registration, and Licensing.

Step 1) Anyone who owns or purchases a firearm would be legally required to get it/them registered. Serial numbers (if they exist), etc. Anyway, descriptions of the weapon(s) on file and linked to a registered owner. If a firearm is used in a crime, the registered owner could be partially liable for that crime. Crime resulting in death? Owner subject to charges of negligent manslaughter. Violent crime, but no deaths? Owner subject to charges of conspiracy to commit X. Registered owner finds one or more of their firearms stolen or missing? Report them as such, and your liability could be removed or mitigated. Failure to register a firearm would also carry criminal penalties.

Step 2) Anyone who wants to use a firearm would be legally required to get a license. Licensing requires taking a proficiency and safety test. The initial license would require practical examination (safety and proficiency) at a range. Initial licensing and renewals (every 4 years?) would require passing a written test of knowledge about ownership laws, safety, etc. Just like a driver's license. And just like a driver's license, there could be things that might reasonably preclude your ability to get a license. Felony record? No license for you. Mental health issues? No license for you.


The NRA loves to tout themselves as responsible gun owners. Well, responsible people take responsibility. Remember that one kid in your class back in third grade that talked back to the teacher, so she made you all stay in and read during recess? Yeah, he ruined it for the rest of you. Guess what -- that's happening again. These nutjobs that shoot up schools or into a crowd of civilians are ruining things for the rest of you. We've tried unfettered access and an extremely lax interpretation of the second amendment. It didn't work out well. For evidence, compare the US to any other developed country on Earth.

Guns are a part of American culture, to an extent that taking them away completely would be ... problematic. But there are many, many things between the nothing that we're doing now and that.

Altered Carbon Trailer

ChaosEngine says...

Just finished watching it. I had high hopes and I was still delighted with it.

It is just so fucking badass.
