Thoughts and Prayers vs Drowning

cloudballoon says...

I'm a Christian, and I absolutely detest American "thoughts and prayers"-ism. It's done so much damage to America (or abroad) and not just passively let evil deeds to keep happening, it also created and justified many of those deeds. Especially on gun violence, it's downright vile and the 2nd amendment "interpretation" (more like ignoring 100% of the context and 80% of the text before & after "right to bear arms").

This toxic combo of "thoughts & prayers" and "rights to bear arms".... is this "American Exceptionalism"? It happens to no other countries, and I don't see many of their government are less "democratic" or "free," nor its citizens have less rights.

The passivity of whole "thoughts and prayers" is NOT what Jesus said, nor what Jesus wants its followers do. If people read the NT, then they'll know Jesus is more of a SJW progressive/activist than what half of the US - the right leaning people - say Jesus is.

Oh, the all-too-easy "my heart breaks for..." whatever tragedy a politician/faith leaders heard and then DON'T do anything that they can help bring legislation to minimize said tragedy? Just as bad and hypocritical.

What gives a "law abiding" citizen the right to bare mass killing machine guns? Or owning hundreds and thousands of ammo in a home? For self-defense? Is that necessary? Really it's just a twisted sense of entitlement/freedom or some kind of nihilistic fetish. You know, I have the crazy "Borat" idea that if I'm an American (I'm Canadian, so I don't have the "right" to do anything directly), I'd troll the far-right Republican cultists using my Christian "credential" to demand my right to bear ANY arms... like anything from bombs, grenades to tanks, fighter jets and nuclear missiles as a private collection as long as I can afford it (Hooray, Capitalism!). It's my freaking "God"-given right! Carry the selective 2nd amendment reading to the extreme to see how ridiculous the status quo already is! ... But the thing is, I'm not sure anymore if there already IS a critical mass of far-right crazies that really believe what I said make total sense.

Lol. Can you articulate why you think that, being specific? I doubt it.

Leave it to you to get even your attempted insults backwards. I might be the stupidest intelligent person you know (but it's highly unlikely), I'm not dumb. I know you don't understand the difference, maybe look it up. (Hint: stupid means "like you're in a stupor" and is descriptive of your temporary cognitive state, not your permanent intelligence. From SAT class....Stupid is to smart as dumb is to intelligent)

You, on the other hand, might be the dumbest stupid person I know...and with your multigenerational minimal middle school education you're one of the most ignorant too. Not a good combo.

Thank you sir, for the Promote.

My son is a 17 year old jazz player (Trombone) and he's really turned me on to Jazz. More than the casual listener I was before.
He's heading to University of Toronto in a few months with a focus on Jazz. (I need to fly him there for auditions entrance in February).
He performs 2-3 times a week with various combos in town so I get to see a lot of jazz lately.
Cheers!

Warehouse Jenga

RFlagg says...

Yeah, I saw something that suggested this was filmed in July, so you'd think there was more information. All the news I can find on it, just report about the "viral video", with no results on when and where for sure. You'd think that the company itself, or people there that day, would have seen it gone viral and put info out by now... though unless it was the company itself, it'd be harder to vet.

I'd wager the driver was okay in the cage, might have broke a bone or two, but otherwise was okay. The guy in yellow on the right would be the bigger concern, as he was buried. Near the very end you see somebody in black making a run across the far right as the last section collapses.

The crazy thing is, the shelf was barely hit. You probably hit it harder when putting pallets up. It must have been the perfect combo of angle and velocity, then add to that the tension on the legs given the way it was stacked and voila, disaster.

Maybe...I thought he's likely just been swept off his feet, but it's possible he got crushed. There's surprisingly little info about this to be found.

Ted Cruz loves White Castle

Mekanikal says...

White Castle was a real letdown. I've lived on the west coast my whole life and had only heard about them, then about 10 years ago I had a chance to go to Atlanta for my job. After picking up the rental, I was headed to the hotel when I saw a White Castle. "Hell yeah", I thought. I finally get to try a Harold and Kumar burger. So I get a slider combo and...... yeah, they wern't very good. Turns out I don't like steamed hamburger.

Doctor Who Theme Classical Acoustic Guitar Cover

RFlagg says...

Okay, I'd say this is a bit of a Spanish sound to it, not just acoustic guitar. Would this be because the type of guitar, the tuning, the way he plays, a combo of them, or highly possible, I'm just crazy.

Authentic Medieval Sword Techniques

MilkmanDan says...

@drradon -- It was cool to compare this with the limited stuff I can remember from taking an intro to fencing (foil) class in college.

There was a different parry for incoming attacks to each quarter of your body facing the opponent (top-left, top-right, bottom-left, bottom-right). And that's just for 2 opponents both using the same general stance and weapon. I'd guess these guys would have different counters for each combination of stance/style, weapon of their opponent, and target area. That's a lot to remember -- although a lot would be relatively consistent across different combos.

I liked the high guard styles (two named "guard of the lady" stood out), because they seemed to pair nicely with "beat attacks" -- where you attack and swing to hit the opponent's weapon rather than their body. Gets their weapon out of position and leaves you in better position to make a second attack that they can't easily parry.

I wasn't very good at fencing. Bad footwork, not good form, and pretty slow on parries. But the one thing that let me win matches was aggression and beat attacks. The instructors and more skilled people could see it coming and dodge or otherwise counter it (especially after they figured out that was the one reliable tool in my box), but it was a fun technique to use for me. Cool to see these guys do pretty much the same thing, but just as a small part of a much bigger bag of tricks than I had.

Guy acts like a jerk so customer blocks his internet

nanrod says...

Of course this assumes that the cafe has never changed from the default password. It wouldn't work on my combo modem/router supplied by my cable internet provider. Each unit has its own unique default password based on its serial number.

Bill Burr Doesn’t Have Sympathy For Hillary Clinton

newtboy says...

Yes, I think more voted for Trump than voted against Obama because they finally had someone to vote FOR instead of AGAINST.

No, you said "refuting the white racist voters brought Trump in fallacy. Somehow they didn't come out to vote against a black guy..." and I'm saying that, without the white racists, he would have lost, so they DID 'bring Trump in' and did 'vote against the black guy', but in smaller numbers.....again. You didn't say they didn't vote for him, but you said their votes didn't make a difference, I disagree.

I guess YOUR personal bias is blinding YOU, because I also said EXACTLY that, repeatedly, starting in the first reply, that Clinton and Schultz drove independents and moral Democrats away....it was a combo punch. Racists emerged AND moderates stayed home, and had either been different, the outcome would have been different.
I never refused to recognize the hatefulness in America, I stated clearly and repeatedly when the DNC fiasco happened that Clinton had just lost to hate, because that's what Trump is, the leader of the party of hate and angst.

Some of us refuse to ignore blatant racism just because it might be more pleasant to do so. Clearly, you aren't in that camp. I have been clear that not all, or even a majority of Trump voters are blatant racists, but they all are willing to stand shoulder to shoulder with blatant racists and support blatantly racist policy....nothing to do with where they work and all about what they say and do, plenty of left leaners work with their hands...I'm a trained welder for instance.

bcglorf said:

Then your own personal bias is blinding you.

Do you truly believe that more racists voted for Trump than came out previously to vote against the first black president?

Your also not reading what I said, seemingly because you don't like the implications. Not once did I claim racists didn't vote for Trump. Not once did I say anything about Trump making any kind of an even half-decent president. For the record, I'd have voted Hillary if I had a vote. All of that is ENTIRELY outside the point.

The reality that democrats just can't seem to accept is that they LOST the support of the public. The racists didn't suddenly emerge this election cycle. The moderates, the silent majority, just said screw it and stayed home or said screw you and ticked of Trump. A major scare factor in that is folks just like yourself who refuse to even recognise that this huge segment of the population exists and that the democrats need to reach out to them as opposed to labelling them racists and entrenching them as future republican voters that dislike being called racists because they work on an oil rig...

What happens when you're drunk AND stoned at the same time?

eric3579 says...

Nothing good comes with this drug combo.

(edit) let me clarify. I'm not referring to health in any way. I'm talking about getting high.
My experience is spinning,nauseous and inability to see straight or walk. Pretty much every time i did so. I'd recommend sticking to one or the other.

A look at the Bengal carrier Star Citizen

RFlagg says...

I recently picked up the Mustang Alpha with Squadron 42 combo pack in anticipation of 3.0 (I got in just a couple or few weeks ahead of the 2.5 release). I still prefer Elite Dangerous at the moment, and really wish the ED devs would be more communicative the way RSI/CIG is. If SC can deliver on a good portion of their stuff.... we'll be in for a treat. It amazes me we can have such a big world that seems so seamless the way ED and SC do...

I can't imagine the amount of work that one will have to do in game to earn enough in game money to buy such a thing... I'd have to assume it would be via a guild/corp/organization with lots of members grinding away and making contributions for such a thing. Still, would be cool to fly a ship up into one, then walk around it.
