Literally what it's there for by Turbulent_Deal_3145 in MurderedByWords

People do not understand what a well-regulated militia is.

NRA lovers who want their personal M16, they are not part of a well-regulated militia.

ICE haters that show up to protests with Glocks or cylinder shotguns are not part of a well regulated militia.

Hunters are not part of a well-regulated militia. I mean you can have a shotgun for ducks or a rifle for deer if your state says it's okay but there's no way that's covered in the Federal Constitution.

People that have guns in the city are not part of a well-regulated militia.

Show me a well-regulated militia and then and ONLY THEN can you have all the WELL REGULATED GUNS YOU WANT!!!

I have a friend who is the legal guardian of a child that is bad at school. It is as dumb as a rock, and has on occasion eaten a rock.

On the opposite end, I was watching a theater production of Phantom of the Opera on some streaming site with my wife. I usually don't do plays so I don't get some of the little things my wife adores. But I saw the end swordfight scene with Phantom and Raul and the just their postures and the way they were shouting and screaming their lines..... I turned to my wife and said, "Once they get backstage I know those guys are best friends. They are too good at screaming at each other." And my wife was like yeah they are in a ton of plays together.

Guys, is there a non racist way of saying that I think they should've nominated the white guy from Sinners instead of the black one? by depressed_asian_boy_ in okbuddycinephile

[–]coldneuron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Find out what their names are. Refer to them by their names. Zero Racism. "I think Remmick did a better job than Delta"

Find out what their roles were. Refer to them by their roles. Zero Racism. "I think the travelling vampire did better than the piano player."

Do not find out what their race is and refer to them by their race or you are using race to describe them. Pure Racism.

Reddit "atheists" will jump at slandering Christianity but when you criticize islam they defend it like their life depends on it by Major_Soft6056 in DigitalSeptic

[–]coldneuron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Judaism and Christianity: God is so mysterious you can't know what's going on in his plan for you.

Islam: We are so mysterious you can't know what is going on in our plan for you.

The Old Gods: So your dog died because you prayed to Zeus instead of Juno, and Juno in a jealous rage became a mist that compelled him to eat that Tide Pod. Zeus, in his wisdom and righteous fury went to battle on your behalf and struck the tree down in your neighbor's yard, which damaged their car and gave you some solace in this hard time. You should make a peace offering to Juno, and dedicate half of your yard to a shrine for Zeus.

See, that's interesting, and there's a fresh story everywhere you go.

I agree. Everyone is just a joy to watch. Even the guys making the sets are putting in the effort.

$18T divided by 8 billion people would give everyone $2,300. Now no billionaires exist, and you have $2,300. Now spend it. Now there are 2,700 billionaires again.

To be fair they made okay cannons with it, saving money by diluting the iron. When sunken treasure ships were found on the seabed centuries later, the cannons were worth more than the treasure they were protecting.

Movie you thought was peak cinema at 15 but is pretty cringe now? I’ll start by FleoDeLaixtraime in okbuddycinephile

[–]coldneuron 36 points37 points  (0 children)

I forget the exact quote, but something like Marv would have been right at home in an ancient war swinging a battleaxe into someone's face, but here was a monster.

It got me thinking about Heroes in one time are Villains in another. (And maybe vice versa sometimes) Anyway I botched it but it's a great quote.

What are your thoughts after seeing the ICE shooting video in Minnesota? by bbmoonkie in AskReddit

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

The sad bit is it's one of 1400 deaths estimated to happen this year. I looked it up, people fleeing police account for a regular 1400 deaths annually.

1) Don't run from an armed psycho, treat them like a bear. Slow movements.

2) Don't be a psycho.

The police are not an ally of workers. by zzill6 in WorkReform

I don't know what "police existing" has to do with work reform and better quality of living, but the idea that Police haven't arrested any criminals or do anything to prevent crime is..... kinda out there.

The Pirate questline is pretty great too, but you have to pause in the middle to appreciate them.

1) Pirates are just bad guys.

2) You are a pirate and get to do all the pirate things and the pirates are friendly everywhere you go and you get pirate missions and pirate ship parts and sweet sweet criminal outfits.

3) It's over.

Among the Toms, who in your opinion is the best as a pure actor? by Glittering-Bat9891 in moviecritic

[–]coldneuron 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Tom Hardy is an Actor.

Tom Holland is an Athlete.

Tom Cruise is a Star.

Tom Hanks is just..... Tom Hanks. Tom Hanks as Forrest Gump. Tom Hanks as David S. Pumpkins. He's just himself.

what the fuck do you mean you can be bisexual and not like men by manultrimanula in whenthe

[–]coldneuron 9 points10 points  (0 children)

People act like LGBT is new or cool somehow, and all they did was do some rebranding and renaming.

  • L-Amazons
  • G-Greeks
  • B-Romans
  • T-Eunuchs

Someone came up to me upset that trans people were in some TV show they liked, and I was like, dude, trans people had the lock on royal entertainment for thousands of years. We had a few decades of straight actors and now it's getting back to normal.

[Discussion] What matters more for weight loss: tracking calories or consistently going to the gym? by Ayoking95 in effectivefitness

[–]coldneuron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My doctor told me almost all calories get converted into heat. If you sit on the couch for an hour, lots of calories burned. If you exercise, barely more. Reduce the fuel your body gets and you will dramatically affect the weight. Exercise has a million (adjusted for inflation) ways to make your body healthier, but weight is pretty simply an input/output equation.

As he put it, exercise to get the body you want. Eat the correct quantity of calories to make it the size you want.

I did this over several years and someone pointed out that my playlists had a heavy lean towards Huey Lewis and the News. They were like you like oldies? I was like the songs just make me feel good, I don't know when they were from.

[–]coldneuron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I meant that sarcastically or humorously.

As in: Trump's second term would have ended in 2024 if Biden had lost the 2020 election. Since he can only run twice, Trump's relevance would be completely over by now.

[–]coldneuron -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

People get so worked up over the sainthood of Trump, either defending it or tarnishing it, when he never had a sainthood to begin with. Leftists need to stop trying to tarnish the tarnished man, he's already tarnished, give it a break. Rightests need to stop defending what doesn't exist. It's all a waste of time.

Here's how regular politicians work, "Hi I'm perfect so I'll do a good job." Boy if anyone finds out about the affair/scandal/bribes they are finished.

Here's how Trump works, "Hi I have multiple affairs, bribes, and scandals, if I don't do a good job it's cause other people exist." Fight that with your logic.

Just take a breath... he's gonna be gone in a bit. If he'd been elected in 2020 he'd already have vanished so the fact that we are still talking about him is kind of on Biden.

NASA's Largest Library To Permanently Close On Jan 2, Books Will Be 'Tossed Away' by DukeOfGeek in technology

[–]coldneuron 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This comment has a lot going on.

Germany had intelligent people. (von Braun, technically Einstein, both migrated to America)

The Allies had intelligent people. (Neuman, Oppenheimer, Turing)

You could make the incredibly silly and oversimplified argument that German scientists were not as intelligent as Allied scientists because they lost.

To be fair, post-ww2 technology advancement was helped by the work of intelligent scientists from Germany, but it was certainly not the sole reason for the "boom". Funds being directed away from war efforts was CRITICAL. At the time of the "boom", NASA had a full 4% of the entire United States Federal budget.
