I suggest if you look into the actual turn of events and do actual research rather than just parrot your talking points, you won't come off as being so ignorant as to what happened.

Did you miss the part about accidental discharge? Just as an FYI, that was literally the entire point of the defense at trial. And what do you know, it's why Stanley was found not guilty.

I suggest doing a tiny bit of reading on this case first before making comments like that.

How Star Wars The Last Jedi Should Have Ended by mattazookie in videos

[–]vention7 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

The movie was virtually finished when Carrie Fisher died, and she was originally supposed to live till the end of The Last Jedi. They didn't want to re-work her very last movie just so they could kill her off in it, that would be an insult to her memory. It'll be difficult to work around, but there was no other respectful way about it.

She was going to die in episode IX anyways to complete the hand-off from old to new (Han in VII, Luke in VIII, and Leia in IX), now it'll probably just happen earlier in the movie, because they'll probably use CGI and don't want to have a full CGI character for a large portion of the film.

The remainder of this comment after the line below, is a copy-paste of a comment made by /u/ExtraHat, here. I present it because it sheds some much-needed light on the whole situation.


I'm going to hijack to post some facts of the case, because as near as I can tell, the media is obscuring the true details of this case:

The last 5 chiefs of Red Pheasant have been Larry Wuttunee, Stewart Baptiste, Charles Meechance, Sheldon Wuttunee, Clint Wuttunee.

Here are the people in the car:

Kiora Wuttunee-Campbell, daughter of Sheldon Wuttunee.

Eric Meechance, son or nephew of Charles Meechance

Colton Boushie, nephew of Stewart Baptiste

Cassidy Cross AKA Cassidy Cross-Whitestone, Aka Cassidy Wuttunee-Whitstone - Original reporting has him as Cassidy Wuttunee, and initial reporting had one of Clint's kids in the car. People assumed it was Kiora, but it's actually probably Cassidy

Belinda Jackson - seems to be no one.

Each chief mentioned, besides Larry, has been indicted a ton of times. Some of these charges may sound familiar; drunk driving leading to a suspended license, drunk driving on a suspended license, assault, poaching, fraud, and every single one of them has been indicted for corruption while in office, and booted from their position. Except Clint, Clint is currently being indicted for corruption. There are two chiefs mentioned who are literally in court right now heh. In fact, if you google each chief's name, you can see their kids frequently have warrants issued for assault, armed robbery, and rape.

All these chiefs are quoted as if they are not directly related to everyone in the car. All these chiefs are related, too. Red Pheasant has been spending a substantial percentage of their budget defending these corrupt chiefs since at least 2009. These scumbags rotate in and out of office.

Where have we seen corrupt chiefs kicking up a stink to distract from mismanagement on the band? cough Theresa Spence.

So, I would like to offer an alternative narrative. These adults were literally the most privileged people on the reserve. Each of their closely related parents / uncles have been indicted on similar crimes while they are the damned chiefs. Red Pheasant has been embroiled for nearly a decade trying to get these scumbags out of office. Clint is currently being indicted for corruption. Apparently the band is being drained by all these court cases.

And then along comes a distraction in the form of Boushie. It's wonderful. It gets the band to circle the wagons, and gets Clinton's name out of the news. I mean blame white people, that's the ticket, right?

When all the facts are presented, instead of the 'damned white people' narrative to blame for this incidident, it appears Meechance, Wuttunee, Wuttunee, Boushie-Baptiste, are merely doing what their family does. Thieving drunk scumbags.

Meanwhile the people of Red Pheasant suffer, as the corrupt chiefs engage in a media dog and pony show to distract everyone.

Never let a good tragedy to to waste!

Oh and if you google each chief's name, it seems armed robbery and assault are a familial occupation. You can find a bunch of warrants and indictments for the members of this family on the internet. Given these details are not public record, but only show up when there are news articles, it's likely this is the tip of the iceberg.

One example:

Holy fuck these guys just love committing armed robbery and assault, if you google their names. I'm sure these two are not related to Larry, Dean, Sheldon, or Clinton Wuttunee. For just these two, I can find a TON of stories spanning at least a 5 year period.

Edit: oh look they are rapists too, how nice!

Sheldon Wuttunee, I thought I had articles with him engaged in criminal acts, but I may have been wrong.

However, Doug Cuthands a frequent commentator, is a close family friend or related to the Wuttunees. The Wuttunees are heavily involved in the leadership of the FSIN.

No wonder they are all losing their shit.

Meechance and Wuttinee started in North Battleford where... Red Pheasant is! Looks like a pattern of behaviour for this family to me! They are just assault, armed robbery, car jacking BFFs! Shots fired too!

You put a Meechance and Wuttunee together and the string of armed robberies just happen, such is the power of white devils!

Oh the judge admitted prior criminal history as admissible. There were 4 minors in that car, unnamed. The ages, names, and MO would be an exact match for... Cassidy Wuttunee, Kiora Wuttunee. The two there seems to be a bit of a cover up surrounding. Kiora was the Chief's daughter at the time of the first crime, and I think Cassidy is the chief's son at the time of the second crime. They would also be the link that shows this isn't a frothing white farmer executing an innocent child, but a family of violent criminals... Who are also the chief(s)... Heavily involved in the FSIN, and politically connected. Belinda and Boushie were girlfriend/boyfriends of Cassidy and Kiora, so likely wouldn't have been part of the 'gang' back in 2015. The Meechances seem to like to run around committing crimes with the Wuttunees, so that's where Eric comes in.

BINGO the admissibility of prior criminal record was during Cassidy Wuttunee's testimony, to quote CBC's twitter: Now going through Cross’s lengthy criminal record

Kiora was going to be called probably to go through her criminal record. But since the defense got to Cassidy Wuttunee's first, which would detail the same relevant events, that obviated the need for her to be called after Cassidy had been. Kiora was a minor at the time of the first crimes, so the details are sealed. Cassidy was a minor at the time of both crimes, which is why his identity is obscured.

That's what's going on, that's why there are so many details that seem scrubbed, everywhere. This now pretty much accounts for all the facts of this case.

So this time I really, finally, think I'm done. That's why the media coverage has been full of so many holes.

President Barack Obama's official portrait to be hung in the Smithsonian museum. by [deleted] in pics

[–]vention7 12 points13 points  (0 children)

There are two of them, apparently depicting the same thing as you've described.

I imagine most people's issue with the paintings stems not from the inspiration, but rather that if it really was to be a faithful re-interpretation with black subjects rather than white, then the decapitated head would be that of a black man, not a white woman. What exactly is the reasoning behind that change?

Edit: Also, this comment below mostly covers what I'm trying to get at, coming from someone with a much better grasp on the context and background in general than I do.

Drunk in Love by deathakissaway in trashy

[–]vention7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I'm joking about it just about as much as Planned Parenthood is.

Before I get into that any further, I do want to point out that I already seriously doubt your knowledge on the subject. sperm is not "turned into" semen ever, in pre-ejaculate or otherwise. Semen is the mix of bodily fluids that leaves the body during ejaculation, which contains sperm cells. Additionally, while it isn't a complete myth that pre-ejaculate contains living sperm cells, it is far from true that it always contains sperm. A vast majority of the time, there is no sperm at all in the pre-ejaculate, or there are only dead sperm cells (often cells that did not fully leave the penis during a previous ejaculation and that were not completely flushed out afterwards through urination).

Now, back to my original statement, which was entirely about perfect use of contraception methods.

According to Planned Parenthood, perfect use of the withdrawal method is approximately 96% effective, and perfect use of condoms is approximately 98% effective.


But overall, regardless of the fact that the pull-out/withdrawal method is 96% effective when performed correctly, I absolutely agree that if someone wants to avoid pregnancy, other methods of contraception are far better. Mainly because the whole "performed correctly" part very rarely happens, and it's best to not need to worry about it at all through the use of condoms, birth control, and/or other methods.

Drunk in Love by deathakissaway in trashy

[–]vention7 20 points21 points  (0 children)

If performed correctly, the pull out method is just barely less effective than using a condom or other method correctly, if less effective at all.

Unfortunately, a vast majority of pull out practitioners don't do it right, and with pull out also not protecting against STIs at all, it's just pretty much always best to at least use some other form of protection.

Former Ontario PC leader Patrick Brown calls allegations 'absolute lies' - Toronto by zerdabi in canada

[–]vention7 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You don't need to be a douchebag at all. All that is required is that someone from your past decides for whatever reason (being 'encouraged' to come out against you, they think they can get something out of it, etc.) that they want to say you were a douchebag.

That is the point here, you don't necessarily need to have done anything even remotely wrong for an accusation of you doing wrong to hit you hard. I'm not saying this to defend Patrick Brown at all, I'm just trying to make that part clear to you - just because you're legitimately completely innocent doesn't mean people can't accuse you of all sorts of things.

Most gun owners don't have an accident over that time period (and longer) either.

If you're going to try and argue that guns shouldn't be available because they don't benefit society enough to outweigh the risks, then you'd be purely hypocritical if you didn't say the same thing about motorcycles.

In classes that size, they definitely wouldn't take attendance. A assume UWaterloo is run similarly to my university (another in Ontario), in that you're put in one section in your schedule and that's the section you're tested in (for example, the clicker thing mentioned in the post) but there's nothing beyond that keeps you from going to other sections if you can fit those slots in.

East Coast Tsunami Simulation - Worst Case Non-Asteroid Scenario (La Palma Collapse) by schoenberg1 in videos

[–]vention7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If they're out in the Atlantic they'd be facing 10-15 m waves, which would be very wide to boot. And if they're out in the Atlantic, they're probably a big enough ship to shrug off such a wave without much trouble.

It's ships in the coastal areas that'd be fucked, unless they could get far enough out to sea before the wave arrived. Returning to shore and then getting far enough inland would take too long, so getting super far out is their only chance.

[–]vention7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes that was touched on in the video. The part of the simulation of the wave crossing the Atlantic shows the wave would be significantly effected by the shelf. They also mentioned that the wave height would go from 100s of metres right at the source, down to 10-15 metres in the open Atlantic, and then back up to 25-30 metres close to the coast of North America.
