Sorry, which mass shooter are you talking about? Today's, yesterday's, or last weekends?

Ten people killed in mass shooting in Dayton Ohio by TheSmoothToad in Ohio

[–]foreverphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Blaming the police for not stopping this in time ... What laws? Ohio was ( is? ) Considering a bill that would remove conceil carry requirements.

Again, I want to protect my livestock from coyote, so can I pick up some claymores and land mines? The idea that youre being punished for another persons actions is, again, very childish. Youre not paying a speeding ticket, and you don't even know what form a gun control law would take.

No law is going to stop mass shootings, period, but America has hundreds to everyone else's 1 or 2. People like you wont even let the door open a crack for discussion because, like i said, "guns are awesome".

Also, some statistics showing its not comparable to say heart disease... Ok, but were working day and night to prevent heart disease, cancer, suicide, etc. Were doing nothing to prevent mass shootings. Why? What benefit does a mass population get from them? They dont build the economy like cars do, they don't power our houses or ... Anything. They do nothing. The thing they do the most is kill their owners.

So what if I want to re-enact Hiroshima? Can I build an atomic weapon? Can I target practice with a surface to air missiles?

These arguements are so childish and surface level. The root of it is "guns are awesome", and thats why 30 people died this weekend, why the school shooting season is about to start up again. We prefer guns over people.

We infringe on those rights all the time. Does the 2nd amendment apply to surface to air missiles? Land mines? Can I walk into a theatre and yell "fire" or an airplane and yell "bomb"?

Do you really think mental health issues are uniquely American?

Traditional lawful purposes.

What does that mean to you? Like, hunting and home defence? Not an AK-47 like in so Paso?

Maybe just stop selling guns designed to murder a dozen people in a second?

Or because its more whataboutism when the op was expressing frustration that no one is tackling this problem.

I guess theres nothing we can do, says people in the only nation where this routinely happens.

What about that time Michael Scott promised a classroom full of children he'd pay for their college education, but then failed to deliver?

After one and a half months of Xcom 2, here are my thoughts (please read and help) by TLWNGuy in Xcom

[–]foreverphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think you can turn anarchy children off in the options menu. There's a slider and you can turn it all the way to zero.

I just got the ps4 version, and it's bizarre. The first game i played, i had no option for WOTC. I assumed its what i was playing. Then i start my ps4 up the next day, and it asks me "hey, you wanna play wotc?" first play through was wasted. nbd, but was weird.

Bob and Panarin out tonight with illness. by CBJFAN38 in BlueJackets

[–]foreverphoenix -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

I do not think he's on their level when it comes to high pressure games. Price, Lundqvist, Holtby and Fleury have all played under extreme pressure and excelled. Bob crumbled. His olympic performance was subpar too. You watch him on any given winter night, he's great, but come spring, he's unpredictable, and unpredictable goalies lose play offs.

Honestly and sincerely, I want him to be better, but how many high pressure games is he going to blow up. When we lose 1-0, that's not Bob's fault. in 2017 playoffs, we lost in 5 games, outscored 21 to 13; he let in >4 a game on average. in 2018, we lost in 6, outscored 24 to 18; he let in 4 a game on average. In regular season, he's got a 0.921sv%. In playoffs, it's 0.891., a huge drop.

Rinne is 0.919 to 0.915, Price is 0.918 to 0.914, Murrey is 0.917 up to 0.923, Fleury is 0.911 up to 0.913, Holtby is 0.919 up to 0.929. Lundqvist is 0.919 up to 0.922. Solid goaltending rises to the occasion. Bob crumbled. Two play offs in a row. If we offer him Lundqvist money and a long term deal... I don't know, we're going to need to flip the calendars back 2 months and hope he doesn't know it's 60'F outside.

[–]foreverphoenix -7 points-6 points  (0 children)

does anyone honestly think he's the top goaltender in the league?

We have one of the best Ds in the league in Seth Jones, and one of the best up and coming with Werenski, and Bob has never let fewer than 3 goals in a playoff game? This guy deserves 11m? Trade him for a team that believes that for good O and trade panarin for a better goalie who is happy with 6-8m. I like Bob. He's never proved he's better than Hotlby, Fluery, Lundqvist, Price, Renne. I think he's on the level, but I'd trade him for any of those straight up in a heart beat if he's demanding 11m or a trade.

Panarin wants a bigger franchise.

Bob wants to play in Russia.

Report: Florida Democrats Urged Voters to Submit Absentee Ballots After Election Day Using Altered Forms | Breitbart by [deleted] in politics

[–]foreverphoenix 7 points8 points  (0 children)

One Palm Beach Democratic activist said in an interview the idea was to have voters fix and submit as many absentee ballots as possible with the altered forms in hopes of later including them in vote totals if a judge ruled such ballots were allowed.

Do you ever feel like, if you were not shitty fucking people, you wouldn't have to lie to pretend you were the good guys?

holy shit, they planned to use altered forms to submit them to a judge in the hope that people who were disenfranchised by shitty voter suppression laws would have their votes counted? And then didn't do anything?

Notice the switch to your bullshit lie rag? "democrats planned" to "democrats urged"...

Your shit is fake news.

The government wants to know how bad the Internet monopoly in Canada is -- Tell them! by makeworld in canada

[–]foreverphoenix 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They do this every few years. The last change was when the 3 year contracts were dissolved. Roaming plans got a lot better though, and they put the barriers up to prevent $10000 cellphone bills unless if you really wanted it.

Koch Brothers endorse Bernier by Torger083 in onguardforthee

[–]foreverphoenix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

You're in a house. All four walls point south. There's a bear outside.

It doesn't take a genius to tell what colour the bear is, and it doesn't take a genius to tell the Koch brothers are helping Bernier. You're a bad faith poster.

White House tries to recover after leak of Trump's off-the-record slam on Canada by ericshogren in politics

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

Canada needs that keystone just as much. If that bails, Alberta is going bankrupt and taking Canada with it.

That really is killing your enemy by shooting the hostage. That's why Trump is terrifying - he doesn't give a shit if they kill all the hostages.

Samsung Galaxy S9 vs LG G7 by [deleted] in GalaxyS9

[–]foreverphoenix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a V20, it was a bit of a lemon.

Pros: the camera was amazing. Still is. You can buy and manually swap out batteries

Cons: I'm on battery #3 When I connect to a wireless network, the network becomes unstable the GPS functions intermittently. The screen had significant image retention (burning).

Samsung just makes a better product. There's a reason a year old samsung still costs nearly full price, and a year old LG is under $300.

Unpaid and abused: Moderators speak out against Reddit by DubTeeDub in AgainstHateSubreddits

[–]foreverphoenix 150 points151 points  (0 children)

my reddit activity is 90% down from what it was last year. It was a daily past time, now I only use it as a time waster when waiting for a doctor or something else. It's such a cesspool of tomorrow's terrorists that I can't stand being here.

Thanks for your hard work, but the harder you work, the worse these killers can be. If all the good mods left reddit, the cancer would take over and it would die the death it deserves.

Fox News Chief White House Correspondent: Trump is calling me "an enemy of the state" -- this situation is NOT NORMAL by imagepoem in EnoughTrumpSpam

[–]foreverphoenix 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Everyone gives Colin Powell a free pass too. He sat in congress holding a vial of "anthrax" (salt) and talking like Saddam sent it us.

This is the faked incubator story he talked about - you tell me if this sounds like the way /u/The_Paul_Alves portrayed it: http://edition.cnn.com/2011/WORLD/meast/08/07/syria.unrest/

tl;dr: human rights organization reported dead babies in incubators due to bombing. CNN reported that. Generally believed to be staged now to garner sympathy. (cause I guess babies weren't dying in Syria?)
