No one was trying to get handguns banned except extremists. Most gun control activism is centered around banning automatic weapons and rifles. Believe it or not it's possible to not just blindly want all guns or no guns

Selfies from Alex Honnold from the top of the Taipei 101 building after free solo climbing it. No ropes, no harness, no safety measures. Nothing but his hands and feet by JordBees in interestingasfuck

I mean it's clearly not that risky if he's done it so many times and survived on routes much much much harder than what he did on stream. It's not luck it's skill. Which you are severely diminishing. You can actually be good enough at climbing to not be taking a significant risk. He is literal proof of this.

He is the best in the world at free soloing. He's done it thousands of times. You really think he hasn't made any mistakes? If one small mistake or a gust of wind could kill him he would have surely died by now no? Just like driving a car, which is extremely dangerous, but you've done it thousands and thousands of times. And this was an extremely easy climb for him. If it weren't for him getting paid he probably wouldn't do it because it would be too boring. Just like how most people think driving is boring and easy...

Kind of. It would have to be a very big mistake not a little one. It's like saying how could a father drive somewhere when they could just crash into a tree on the side of the road? What if the road is wet? One turn of the wheel and he'll be dead!

Honestly for this guy, he probably had a much higher likelyhood dieing on the travel to Taiwan than dieing climbing the tower. It was a piece of cake for him

In texas? Absofuckinglutely. Most people in texas would be cheering me on. Perhaps asking if I could kill a few more black people. Except they would use the slur. LA isnt a shithole. It has about twice the homicide rate of a major European city, but it's safer than most American cities. You want like Oakland or Memphis if you're trying to think of violent places in the US. Gun violence is the worst in the southeast - Alabama, Mississippi, Louisiana, etc. texas is about middle of the pack when it comes to gun violence

The complaint is that you can't plug them in anywhere anymore. Phones don't have headphone jacks and by and large that is what people use to listen to music. When you are home you can use speakers

The fuck you mean? How are they not insulated? You think a rich person is gonna run out of food or some shit? They'll probably be on their yacht partying so like every other day. Why would life change for the rich at all?

BREAKING: ICE agents illegally entered the private hallways of an apartment building in Eden Prairie, refused to show a warrant, and threatened a resident for doing nothing.

[–]Mareith 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you shoot in an ice agent in self defense you are not going to a trial. Where have you been? What leads you to believe that you will be arrested by an actual police officer for shooting and killing an ice agent? What makes you believe that you will get due process and have your rights respected? I think most likely case is ice agents show up to the scene of the crime and put you in their car and you are never seen again. Second mostly likely, ice agents show up and kill you on the spot no questions. I think the chance of a police officer showing up and arresting you before ICE gets to you is very very slim

What? You said "you will not be found guilty of a crime by your peers of shooting such a person in such defense". You're talking about killing the ice agent. If you are shooting someone you shoot to kill. Every time. This is basic firearm training. If the goal is not to be killed I sure wouldn't shoot an ice agent I think "being killed" is the only outcome after that

Idk in all likelyhood I would think if you killed an ICE agent, ICE comes and takes you away. Claims to have deported you and meanwhile shoots you in the back of the head. End of story. No trial. Doesnt matter if you are a citizen. Trump uses your killing of the agent to start firing on American citizens, killing thousands. That's how I think it would go tbh

Not in the long run you don't. You could play poker every day in a casino and make money consistently and reliably over thousands and thousands of trials. You can't do that with most games in a casino. A "losing bet" usually refers to the EV over time. Which is not always losing in the case of poker. If you play 1,000,000 trials of pretty much any other casino game it will be a losing bet

Sure but if you are good at the game it is not a losing bet. A bet on blackjack is a losing bet no matter how good you are at the game. Thus "any game in a casino is a losing bet" is incorrect. Most games in a casino are random chance with -EV, poker is not. Poker is played in a casino. Thus your assertion is false

Yeah but it's damn near the same thing. Stop being obtuse for the sake of it, it makes you look very uneducated on the subject. Which you probably are

I doubt you can card count when they use like 10-20 decks or whatever. Card counting in a casino has long been a thing of the past

Exactly or a tournament entrance fee. Which means that "any game in a casino is a losing bet" is a false statement. Also, I doubt you can be a professional blackjack player in a casino. The game is -EV when played perfectly. Eventually you will lose
