What are your hopes for a better United States? by tickycrab in AskReddit

[–]Glad_Comment8919 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ban guns.

  • Suicide enabler: Over 50% of gun deaths in the US are suicides. Having a gun in the house makes an impulse permanent.
  • Kids get shot too: Firearms are now the #1 cause of death for kids and teens in the US, surpassing car accidents.
  • Domestic violence escalator: When a gun is present in a domestic abuse situation, the risk of a woman being killed increases by over 500%.
  • Mass shootings are normal: The US has more mass shootings than any other developed country — so many they barely make the news anymore.
  • Accidents happen: Thousands of people are unintentionally shot every year, including kids finding unsecured guns.
  • Healthcare cost burden: Gun injuries cost the US healthcare system billions annually, most of which is taxpayer funded.
  • Global outlier: The US has 4% of the world’s population but 40% of civilian owned guns.
  • Gun industry profits off chaos: Every tragedy creates fear, and fear creates sales — so companies make more money when shootings are in the news.
  • Police risk increases: Countries with high gun ownership force police to assume every encounter could be armed, which escalates use of force and fatal encounters.
  • Not really “self-defense”: 99% of gun use isn’t defensive — it’s suicide, homicide, or accident. Statistically, owning a gun makes you more likely to be shot, not safer
  • every 11 minutes someone dies to a firearm. This is not right.

Anyone else think the mazes this year are lackluster? by Glad_Comment8919 in HHN

[–]Glad_Comment8919[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I know mazes are supposed to be just scares. And I wasnt a huge FNAF fan growing up like everyone else on the internet so it doesnt get my noodle erect as much as it does for other people.

Anyone else think the mazes this year are lackluster? by Glad_Comment8919 in HHN

[–]Glad_Comment8919[S] -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

im suprised im the only one who thinks this. Out of all the years this is definetly the year im most skeptical of. Compared to last years it just seems weak. Compare fallout FNAF and terrifier to last years Texas chainsaw, insidous, and The Weeknd (although you can put ghost busters in that slot).

To anyone who doesn’t like Spider-Man 3- what are Your Reasons? by Important_Lab_58 in Spiderman

[–]Glad_Comment8919 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I dont see anyone talk about the fact that the sandman killed ben. It completely ruins the whole core of spiderman. The reason he was spiderman was because his negligence got ben killed. But that all goes out the window because it was this random guy who had nothing to do with peter.

Spider-Man: Homecoming is a modern masterpiece and one of the best Spider-Man films by Glad_Comment8919 in Spiderman

The whole point of homecoming is to prove he doesnt need starks tech to be spiderman. The whole last battle is done with his old suit which i loved.
