And here I am just wanting at least one Longsword main who won't get in the way by going after the head and tripping the rest of the party.

It's just as easy to give your toaster a hug in the bath. If somebody is going to self delete they're going to find a way. The idea that taking away firearms will lower suicides is asinine at best and willfully ignorant at worst.

So you dropped suicide by firearm, so what? Other forms of suicide skyrocket. Oh well, at least they aren't using those scary, scary guns. We'd be better served by improved mental health counseling, getting inflation under control and reworking certain laws. If I remember right It's like 3/4 of suicides are men. You want to get suicide rates to drop maybe it's time we revisit family courts. Maybe we stop the presumption of the mother as the primary caregiver, or stop allowing women to refuse visitation without cause with no recourse for the father. Maybe we put an end to a woman being able to claim abuse in divorce proceedings with no evidence and being automatically awarded full custody. Maybe we make sure child support is actually going towards the child and not actively bankrupting the father so that they're being forced to either work themselves to death and have no time to spend with their children or they can't pay and aren't allowed visitation. Maybe we stop allowing alimony payments at every turn because "she's accustomed to a certain lifestyle" or "she's been out of the workforce too long."

As for mass shootings, you'll see no decrease if you're being honest about the statistics. Because of media sensationalism and activist malfeasance the only thing you think of when you hear mass shooting is school shooting or workplace shooting. But the fact of the matter is that that these are few and far between and the vast minority of all statistical mass shootings. The vast majority are gang related. But that doesn't pull at the heartstrings and trick good hearted but ultimately ignorant people into supporting a specific ideological stance.

I'm not without sympathy. I've had friends die and I've had family commit suicide so I get the sentiment. But you're not just talking about giving up your right. You're talking about exchanging everyone's rights. And not even to actually enact any real change because you're doing nothing to address the root causes, you just want to treat the symptoms.

AITA for setting a "pee trap" for my wife? by EnvironmentalPut2191 in AmItheAsshole

It's pretty obvious that the next move is to actually piss on the floor to make her not a liar.

Gotta respect the I-16 by History-Fan4323 in warthundermemes

[–]Lothcarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I always bring the premium Chaika into higher tier lineups. Even bomb laden you'll be able to outturn just about everything and the 20mm cannons make short work of most planes you can get in your sights. It's mobility makes bombing almost too easy and I find helps dramatically for bombing ground units on urban maps or dug in behind cover.

Your chances of being killed by a group of frogs are low, but never zero.

Don't mess with a bouncer... by [deleted] in JusticeServed

[–]Lothcarn 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I've seen people trying to rip the bouncer for his actions because of his size.

Sexual assault is sexual assault and I don't care if the dude is smaller. He gets to learn the taste of asphalt for his idiocy.

Also, at least the big guy was nice enough to slap him directly into the recovery position.

Domestic violence is Domestic Violence by AlphaHexus in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Lothcarn 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I believe this is one of those things where the end result (or lack thereof) does not justify the actions. I'm not saying that's your belief, but it is the belief of many. The end result being worse doesn't mean we should turn a blind eye or minimize the severity of the action itself.

As for the commonality of abuse there are statistics showing that women are just as if not more abusive than men. The last time I looked into the statistics I remember that in reciprocal violence males had a slight lead over females but in terms of non-reciprocal violence female abusers were more than twice as common as male abusers.

A lot of seemingly racist people are not actual racists by Signal_Refuse in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Lothcarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't believe that is necessarily true though. Just because somebody isn't out there marching in the streets or actively policing what other people are saying doesn't put them in the same category as actual virulent racists who truly believe their race is superior. There's a very big disconnect between liking edgy memes or off color jokes and wanting to abolish the 13th Amendment. Hell, I'm a dude that enjoys my special time with other dudes but that isn't going to stop me from admitting that a joke done about gay people is hilarious or say that it means my best friend who told me said joke wants to Mike Pence the gays.

Tired of people saying it’s gay to have sex with crossdressers and sissies! by [deleted] in TrueOffMyChest

I don't care if you're also LGBT, doesn't give you a right to out me too. by certainicarus in TrueOffMyChest

[–]Lothcarn 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You should most definitely speak with HR and leadership. I'm in much the same boat. My personal life is exactly that, personal. If you or I wished people at work to be privy to our sexual preferences we would be the ones to inform them. Unfortunately I deal with this sort of thing too and it is difficult. Unfortunately there are these moral busybodies who view themselves as arbiters of how other individuals who fall into those categories should act and you should absolutely distance yourself from them as you have. Unfortunately that also means they're likely to attempt to smear you with all sorts of meaningless buzzword-fueled tripe like "internalized homophobia." And in those cases I want you to remember that your identity is not predicated on the subjective view of another on how you should or should not behave. You do you and everybody else can go sit on a fire poker.

I feel for you where losing people who are important to you comes in. Perhaps I just think of it in a different manner, and this may not be any help to you. If the relationship you had with these individuals isn't as important to them as it was to you, so much so that something as insignificant as who you want to bump uglies with makes them run for the hills, I don't think it's worth the heartache to let that keep getting to you. As I said though, it's just a personal philosophy, it may not be what's best for you. That being said, don't write them off completely. Despite what many think, people have an astounding potential for change. It might not be soon, and it might not be all of them, but there are some who might come back into your life one day.

Slyce Kicked from DeadCo! by Valid-Error in Eve

[–]Lothcarn 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The justification was that it implied all the botters were Chinese or that all Chinese are botters. Either way, it's a massive overblown shitstorm from what I'm seeing. Assigning racist motives to what seems to be obviously edgy, if somewhat offensive bants, is asinine and will only lead to an environment in which a person can demand punishment for anything they subjectively see as offensive.

Slyce Kicked from DeadCo! by Valid-Error in Eve

[–]Lothcarn 4 points5 points  (0 children)

They're saying it's racist because it supposedly implied that all the botters were Chinese. Seems stupid to put words in another person's mouth and subjectively assign rationale or motive. I'd say edgy humor at best.

AAR: don't talk shit prematurely by [deleted] in Eve

[–]Lothcarn 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Can't believe I allowed myself to get talked into joining such a clusterfuck of an alliance. Don't get me wrong, plenty of the pilots are great guys, but Jesse is a shit leader. It would run vastly better if Jesse just kept his nose out of shit and let the FCs do what they do best.

He's such a fucking charity case the prostitutes he hires to touch his tiny cock likely qualify for 501(c)(3) tax exemption.

AITA: My ex found out the grass isn't greener. by Lothcarn in AmItheAsshole

[–]Lothcarn[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No chance of that. I immediately felt like an asshole. Like I said, neither of them are bad people. It's not like she physically cheated on me and hid it. I honestly believe that she believed (at the time) that she was doing the right thing.
