Hayes: NRA "Good Guy With A Gun" Theory Failed In Real Time

cloudballoon says...

Imagine the scenario where a bad guy pulls out a gun, the first "good guy" pulls out a gun, then a second "good guy" pulls out his gun... wanna bet the probability who the 2nd guy points his or her gun to? And the subsequent 3rd-nth good guys' guns going to point theirs to?

Oh, then unevitably the "no duty to protect" police forces come and shoot ALL the guys with guns.

Total chaos, and good luck untangling the legal lawsuits that will inevitably come after. America! F**k YEAH!!

"Good Guy With A Gun" Theory. These NRA honchos reaaaaaaaaaaaaaaally don't want their subservient cohorts think one more step ahead of any argument. The sad truth is there's enough of mindless American too lazy (or even capable?) to think ahead just as they wished due to America's educational system and pathetic "freedom at all costs" patirotism & American 2nd Ammendment Exceptionalism crap.

There are many democratic countries that said no to widespread gun ownerships (Australia, NZ, Japan) and are far better for it. I guess (read: I don't watch C-SPAN) that sense of American Pride infects even the Democrats to be gutsy enough to compare the US to other countries during legislative gun-control debates?

That assault-style (like the ARs) gun ownership rights is pretty FUBAR from the get go. If that's a right, why not grenades? Tanks, fighter jets, subs and heck, nuclear missiles? As long as I'm a "no criminal record" American citizen, isn't it my God-given right -- and my freedom! -- to own any weapons as long as I can afford it? Unhindered Capitalism at its finest we're talking here! The most American of values!

snake eating itself

cloudballoon says...

Sorry I had a brain fart, I was thinking the Presidency, Senate & the House. The 3 that people can actually vote pople in to. The Supreme Court's not voted in by the people, and this Court is FUBAR by McConnell since the last of Obama's years...

You're absoluely spot on the split, that's why I said "bare-bone" and filibuster & super majority vote's gotta go. There are very few Houses of Representatives in the world are as dysfunctional as the USA because of it.

Hypocrisy, Thy Name Is Republican

cloudballoon says...

Having situations where lapdogs rubber stamping nominees because they're on the same side is "check and balance"?

I absolutely believe if the situation is reversed, I fully expect the same shenanigans from the Democrats abusing their power. That's politics and there lay the core issue.

The SCOTUS should be as apolitical as possible. A system where the people or the other parties CAN get no say by design... that's madness. That's a broken system that need to be fixed.

The founding fathers or the Constitution may have faith in the system. But today, there's ample proof that their faith is misplaced. Hyper-partisanship has FUBAR everything in Washington.

The court was leaning 1 way and now can swing back the other way and you think its madness?

It sounds like our Constitution is working just fine.

President nominate/Senate approve process is the check and balance.

Nationalist Geographic

cloudballoon says...

I wonder what these Republicans behind the Lincoln Project will do after November though, win or lose? They themselves made Trump a reality through a cumulative process of dividing and dumbing down America for decades. You think Trump is a freak show? No, it's their modern-day ideological standard bearing manifest, just magnified by a factor of 10. Some republicans just don't agree HOW Trump says things, not what he DOES. I don't see they can come up with a leader nearing worthy of bearing the mantle of the classic "GOP" of "Lincoln." It's been FUBAR.

You want for Fiscal Conservative & Social Liberals (nevermind whether you can really balance the two IRL with that much debt and social ills already)? Look elsewhere, it's not in the GOP.

Thought about this fubar a second time. Upvoting cause the intention was genuinely good. A family that plays together stays together. Plus her nose job will not just be for vanity.

Tabs v(ersu)s Spaces from Silicon Valley S3E6

Buttle says...

It does have to do with writing code.

I have to deal with a source code repository that's full of tabs at work every day. Indentation for code may be composed of spaces and tabs, or spaces only. If tabs are present, then everyone working with the code has to use the same tab width setting, otherwise the indentation will be fubar.

If two people save edits using a different tab width setting, then there really is no way of fixing it up beyond auto-indenting it all and saving with a consistent tab setting.

The advantage of tabs is saving a few bytes on file size, which is completely undetectable in today's world of html email and xml everything.

The film, however, makes no sense, because the only way you can find out about a fundamental disagreement on spaces v tabs is by opening someone else's file in your editor, and finding the indentation all messed up. It's not something you can tell by looking over a shoulder.

The difference between emacs and vi, by the way, is that emacs has several good vi emulations, but it would be laughable to think of an emacs emulation in vi.

Emacs used to seem a completely outsized pig of a program, but in our modern times it's actually tiny. Still, you would expect a vi-champion to want tabs instead of spaces, not vice versa.

Not a lot of understanding displayed here, I'm afraid.

Don't think i've ever used a tab outside filling in a form or playing video games. Does the tab thing have more to do with writing code?

Can we clean these comments out somehow? (Wtf Talk Post)

RFlagg says...

I can confirm I can't get to that Roger Waters comments, nor on https://videosift.com/video/Purple-Mattress-Sues-Over-These-4-Safety-Questions where I wanted to edit and fix/clarify my one comment as I made it while late to work and just fubared the last paragraph all together.

https://videosift.com/video/Silence-of-The-Lambs-Bloopers-Gag-Reel takes a long time to load, but the second comment, following the redacted is a long HTML bit. Perhaps the ones that aren't loading have this same problem? Guess we'll see when @lucky760 gets on to look things over.

eric3579 said:

I see @lucky760 redacted the comments but for me some video pages still won't display the comment sections and the ones that do are ridiculously slow to open. Work in progress?

Can anyone see the comments on this video? They won't come up for me (one of a handful). https://videosift.com/video/Roger-Waters-Performs-On-The-Late-Show-with-Stephen-Colbert

Who do you blame for the election results? (User Poll by newtboy)

chicchorea says...

Hell, I vote for newtboy as well.

That's a helluva ambitious start to seemingly, to me, rather impossible situation to poll-r-rize.

The convolutions that occurred to me in reading the choices from which are provided to choose, too many.

I didn't vote, here. However, I would if I could cast multiple votes.

Vote early and often.

The situation is complex, SNAFU, moved to bordering FUBAR.

Good luck to all of us.

We Didn't Listen

JustSaying says...

That's right, you people didn't listen and the whole world, as always, has to deal with your shit. Maybe you should have listened, like, um, maybe 16 years ago when it became obvious to me and everyone else that your election system is fubar. And I don't even live in your stupid country.
Thanks a lot and enjoy your part of climate change disasters. It's not like that crap is gonna happen less anytime soon. Next time your southern coast get's fucked up by hurricanes you can go scream "We didn't listen!" in reference to that.

Last Week Tonight with John Oliver: Donald Trump

MilkmanDan says...

I still want to see President Drumph.

The fact that he represents the biggest trainwreck that American politics has ever faced is precisely *why* I hope he gets elected. The system is already a hopelessly broken dog and pony show; maybe the faster we shit on its grave, the faster it becomes blatantly fubared enough to prompt the amount of revolutionary outcry needed to fix it.

Even if *that* doesn't happen, though, Drumph has already started the self-destruct timer on the GOP. That *desperately* needed to happen -- but the impact will be all the better if he beats out the GOP "great white hope" establishment candidates like Rubio. Drudge Report even claims that Mitt Romney will "enter the race" or possibly run as an independent (propped up by GOP $$$) if Rubio and Cruz don't make up ground.

I don't see the GOP surviving much more of this, which is a very positive outcome. So, thank you Drumph, and keep up the good (by which I mean abysmal) work!

Elections are a sham? Two Party System a con job?

Pastor: Why Blacks Blame Zimmerman

chingalera says...

Uhhh, skittles and watermelon ice tea?? He may have been stoned but he was carrying raw materials for "lean"-Seen it done with Jolly Ranchers and flat Big Red before-Punk was a punk and Zimmerman, an over-zealous paranoid speed-balling on anti-depressants and adderal. Recipe for disaster: Two dumb-asses, one gun. Race was an ancillary to this fubar and Florida laws kept one dumbass from being burried in a broken system.

Cargo Plane Falls Out Of The Sky

chingalera says...

This one must also and obviously recognize, given the audio unedited, the calm doggy, etc, that certain folks don't lose their shit when explosions or other such mahem erupts or arises from catastrophic FUBAR, given they're used to such a display in the regular day-to-day more than the most of us, fucking-off on the internet in our cushy podz....

CelebrateApathy said:

Obviously, there is sound with the video. How did the driver of that car avoid a "HOLY FUCK!" moment as this was happening? That guy must have really seen some shit over there if a cargo plane exploding in front of him barely elicits any emotion.
