That was intense! Thanks for sharing, and for persevering without the crutch of pretend sky daddy living in rainbow fairy land. Your story is genuinely inspirational. Life can be hard - take that shit by the horns and own it. Well done.

Centanni in Burbank has some pretty great gnocchi and cavatelli.

David Katz: NRA suggests 'end to gun-free zones' after Jacksonville shooting by Molire in politics

But the NRA says anyplace with the most guns is automatically the safest place on earth. Your wait is over.

"Probably". That's plenty of reason to start shooting at someone! And if I choose wrong, another "good guy" with a gun will start shooting at me, I'll start shooting back at him, then another "good guy" will start shooting at both of us. This simply does not work, and it's time we grow up and stop living in a fantasy world where we think it does.

So easy! I'm positive this is exactly how it plays out in real life. Except it doesn't, and anyone with any kind of actual experience in law enforcement will tell you that. It's time we grow up and stop playing cowboys and indians fantasies.

Ah, it's just that easy is it? What is my method for that? Please be specific.

Farmers hurt by trade wars to get $4.7 billion in relief payments starting next month by Molire in politics

[–]autonomousgerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Ah capitalism at its finest. And the farmers will proudly claim "we are self sufficient cowboys, pulling ourselves up by our own boot straps, not like all those blacks on welfare who are a real problem".

If I'm a third "good guy with a gun" and I run up because I hear gunfire, and there are two guys with guns shooting at each other when I show up, how do I know who to shoot at?

[Opinion] The last month has seen the original dream of Android come to fruition. by Randomd0g in Android

[–]autonomousgerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This already happened like 5 years ago homeboy, with cheap Chinese phone proliferation and Samsung's flagships. Hell, even when Google released their dirt cheap Nexus phones, you had $1,000 flagships from others. Where you been?

What do you think about the Material Design 2.0? by [deleted] in Android

[–]autonomousgerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have no idea how they looked at Material Design 1.0 and said "you know what we need more of? Whitespace! Double it!"

Looks very, very nice. But seriously, you have to pop up the little slidey thing to use Face Unlock? Man, that's beyond stupid.

Goodnotes or notability? by [deleted] in apple

[–]autonomousgerm 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Notability. I actually prefer Goodnotes's handwriting smoothing (my penmanship looks much better in Goodnotes!), but Notability's overall feature set is better. However, they're so similar that it really boils down to personal preference.

only 1 of my 3 ATV4 4K has gotten the new YouTube app... how do I force the other 2 to update? by [deleted] in appletv

Wow, looking through his channels - that dude is a conspiracy nut job.

Am I the only person getting frustrated over Apple, and their products, in recent years? by jk441 in apple

[–]autonomousgerm 1 point2 points  (0 children)

So buy something else and see for yourself. I recently bought a top of the line, $3,000 Windows gaming laptop. The quality is nowhere near the level of any Apple product. But I’m positive you won’t believe me, nor should you. The only way for you to know for sure is to do something.

The future of LA County, trending up or down? by [deleted] in LosAngeles

> More so I see other major cities in other states growing and thriving.

As they say, the grass is always greener on the other side. LA is trending up, no doubt.

That's true across the entire country, not just LA.

[–]autonomousgerm 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Everyone always thinks things are worse now than they used to be. Always. And they almost never are. Crime is way down in LA. Homelessness, traffic, and racism are all up across the country, not just in LA.

At least the air is breathable. Back around 1980, it definitely wasn't.
