I rewatched Predator 1 in HD last year since I haven't seen it since on local SD TV broadcast in college. It was nice. Same for other classics like Alien, Aliens, etc.

Hm, so the minigun in Predator wasn't *quite* so ridiculous. Since we can grant Jesse Ventura an extra 50-75% strength since he was a fictional action hero, and since in action movies the weight and quantity of ammunition a character may carry (even if its's for miles and miles through a dense jungle) only matters if it is directly relevant to the plot, I think I now consider "Painless" a perfectly reasonable gun for fighting aliens and South American guerrillas.

Also did predator noises, but I didn't see them in this.

To be fair, adaptive coloration worked pretty well for the Predator. It's all in how you use it.

Evolution:
Dinosaur -> bird -> Predator

You know what's really good for stopping tyrannical governments? Free and open elections.

How about instead of perpetuating this fantasy where a bunch of guys with AR-15s are gonna take on a government with fucking PREDATOR DRONES, you try and fix your insanely broken electoral system?

Start with repealing Citizens United, then you can move on to fixing gerrymandering, dismantling the electoral college and finally, find a way to get rid of the lobbyist block.

Do all that, and you won't need to overthrow your government. Not that you could anyway.

So if a Republican is accused of sexual predation, they are innocent until proven guilty, but if a democrat or liberal is accused of the same thing, they should hung out to dry?

Even for you, bob, that doesn't make much sense.

The difference is that when a liberal is accused of these things, other liberals don't accuse their victims of being liars. Other liberals are sad that someone they once admired has fallen so low.

But we don't defend them and we certainly don't advocate them running for office.

I did qualify it in my part of the description! The Benz Patent Motor car was still pretty early, predating volume production of either electric or steam cars (in the modern sense of passenger vehicles) which both took off in the 1890s.

But electric cars are well over 1 1/2 centuries old. In fact, the earliest working examples are from the 1830's, predating gas cars by 50 years (+-).
It is great to see their resurgence, finally.

But, not calling him out as a sexual predator, just as a gay guy. And outing people against their wishes is pretty dickish behavior.

Two words easily dismiss your entire argument: predator drones.

Look, there are plenty of other countries with high gun ownership rates, but a few sensible regulations stop this kind of shit happening, and guess what? Those countries aren’t oppressive dictatorships, they’re modern, progressive societies.

Meanwhile, the USA, for all your talk of guns preventing dictatorship is a disgrace. You have have bigoted asshole running your country, your healthcare is barbaric (and they’re trying to make it worse), your tax system is ridiculous and your minority citizens are being criticised for daring to protest about the systemic racism they have to endure.

Gun control won’t make your country “less free”, because it’s already ranked pretty low there. But it will certainly lower the number of mass shootings.
