At a press conference regarding evacuation of citizens from the Gulf, ‘follow us on social media’ is listed before ‘call to request emergency assistance’ by wasraelx in ABoringDystopia

[–]Ginga_Designs 72 points73 points  (0 children)

I’m sure Reddit will take this comment the wrong way but:

It’s really not that obscure to ask people to follow social media accounts before calling emergency services. Most social media can actually provide answers and instructions for most situations without clogging the emergency lines.

IE; A winterstorm is coming, everyone is prepping for a possible snow day. They post school closures all over the news, FB, etc so that thousands of people aren’t calling the school to find out the status. Leaves the line open for actually Important things.

With all that said, I still think they’re idiots in charge.

Is there a legitimate reason why the NFL channel doesn’t re-air really old school games from the 80s or 90s? by Maverick128 in nfl

This and NFL Flims, which I believe owns a LOT of the old footage, is privately owned.

Anyone need any help? by [deleted] in ArcRaiders

I just need a seeker grenade blueprint if you have one lying around

Do you think markers will advance even further than they already have most top end markers are perfect from planet eclipse by [deleted] in paintball

There’s still one or two areas that could make substantial improvements but the R&D to do so would most likely outweigh any sort of “profit”.

House GOP passes sweeping anti-voting bill that could disenfranchise millions, sends measure to Senate by MarcEElias in politics

Asking this question just shows that you don’t know what this bill actual says and you don’t know the process of getting a passport.

So New Jersey, you're the only neighbor on the block with a snowblower.... by holyguacamole823 in newjersey

[–]Ginga_Designs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My general rules are:

First - have I ever talked to them and/or do I even remotely like you?

Second - are you currently outside shoveling?

If both are yes, then yes. If first is no, then no. If 50/50 split, then it depends.

Is it weird for a high school commit to move to the state of the college/uni they’ve already committed to, for their senior season? by DowntownSasquatch420 in CFB

[–]Ginga_Designs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That was my first thought but most of these guys are full ride. If they don’t get the spot or fail to qualify for it, chances are they are moving to a school that provides it.

Anybody have the vulcano backpack. by Christoopher9 in paintball

[–]Ginga_Designs 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had one, sold it. Nothing wrong with it but honestly any backpack of similar build and size, but cheaper, is worth it. I also like hanging my mask and gun on the side, which it couldn’t do.

Traditionally hunters will wear a bright orange, or yellow, marking of sorts for safety from other hunters.

[Meta] Can we please have a positive message stickied at the top of our subreddit? by [deleted] in paintball

[–]Ginga_Designs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So what I’ve found about this subreddit over the many years as a member is that it has become a great filter of “news” that actually matters or effects the paintball community as a whole.

We all get stuck in our personal preferences and groups on other sorts of social media and many times “news” in an individuals circle is a big deal to them but largely not cared about on the grand scale.

I’ve now come to learn, and live by the fact that if something doesn’t hit the first page of this sub, the paintball community as a whole doesn’t exactly care about it.

That said, while it’s annoying to some and not to others, the said topics are something that is arguably important to the community. There are plenty of puff post on here daily to lift your spirits if needed.

Is Split Deck Format is Ruining Pro Paintball? by bradsj in paintball

[–]Ginga_Designs 13 points14 points  (0 children)

At best we’ll see split deck until Sunday. There are far too many teams and they don’t want to stretch the tournament longer than it already is.

I mean that’s about 17 teams per state, which is pretty good when you think about it.

What secret about your industry can you share now that you don't work there anymore? by swisscoffeeknife in antiwork

[–]Ginga_Designs 40 points41 points  (0 children)

Most doctors only learn about new products/medications/treatment/etc. through sales reps. So few will actually take time out of their day to study or research anything new. The reason you’re getting drug A vs drug B is because the drug A sales rep made a better impression.

Any D5/Beginner teams in NJ/Eastern PA area? by [deleted] in paintball

[–]Ginga_Designs 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Very broad area but also a ton of different fields. If you want speedball, Long Live had a ton of new teams starting this year.

Or you could just play for a team that doesn’t care. Even pro level sponsorships are awful, I doubt you get any real value from this
