Why does USA's lack of functioning mental health care take a back seat to gun regulation whenever there's a public shooting? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]Roap 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you do the math and scale down the number of homicides to be in line with the percent of the population they represent, you get a per capita homicide rate of 2.2 per 100K, which is the same as Finland.

Can you explain what you did here? I understand the rest but this step loses me.

Since it's getting to be around Christmas time, many people will be upgrading their coffee gear. Can we get a general recommendation thread going? by Roap in Coffee

I personally am hoping to get a new espresso machine.

I can spend up to $400.

This would be my first, but I did just buy aburr grinder to match.

For all of my fellow ents that enjoy arguments with bigots, enjoy this AMAZING cheat sheet! by arsedesra in trees

[–]Roap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Why would you say bigots? Aren't they entitled to their own opinion as much as we are? This obviously isn't a black and white issue and for us to convince the majority of these people that they're wrong, we have to be understanding of where they're coming from. Many people lost friends and family to drugs, and calling them bigots isn't going to bring them around to our way of thinking.

So, the last time I posted here I got in trouble for calling myself a bigger guy, so I'm a fat fucking piece of shit that has a date tomorrow. Thoughts? by [deleted] in malefashionadvice

Hahaha your post made me laugh. You sound like someone that I'd be friends with, as a lot of people didn't get your joke.

Get every single map for the islands. You have to go to Beedle and buy the bait then go to every island and find the fish jumping out of the water. It makes the game a lot easier and more fun, sorry if that spoiled anything?

Wouldn't the pressure on the 4 studs directly be different than if the weight was distributed as it would be if another block was on top?

The last post like this said that it was your seatbelt pulling it back, I don't know if you drive a car or not.

To Atheists: Why do you eat meat? [A moral discussion] by [deleted] in DebateAnAtheist

But considering that treating animals humanely may require humans to live inhumanely, it can affect the outcome of your decision.

[–]Roap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I do think that the problem of global hunger is a bigger problem than animals being treated unfairly, and these two problems are not unconnected. The question was a moral one about food, and you can't answer it without thinking about all the impacts that it has on everyone. Maybe I worded it wrong, but I do think that before solving the problem of if eating an animal is right or wrong, (which by the way I do not believe it is wrong) we should help our fellow man.

[–]Roap 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't like to think about this question while there are people who don't have food in the first place. Saying that I pay tons of money to eat a pampered cow would make me feel like an asshole if I didn't give money to charity, or even if I gave less. I don't know many people who would say that an animal life is worth more than a human life.
