The Flood / Re: Gun rights
« on: February 24, 2016, 05:13:17 PM »
Honestly, I wouldn't call owning a gun a fundamental, natural, universal and inalienable human right to have. Nothing close to it.

The first, and primary purpose of a gun, being the tool that it is, is to kill or severely injure something in the name of offensive or defensive actions.  The two secondary purposes being non lethal target practice if you're a marksman or a showman, or it being used for a collection.

Personally I would never own one or use one unless I had to. And I think that you have to really understand the implications of owning one, and have the knowledge and intelligence to use it properly, which a lot of people demonstrate neither of.

I don't think it's a right, but I think the people who demonstrate and show that they can handle the responsibility of owning the tool, caring for it, and making sure that it can't fullfill it's primary purpose immidiately if it were ever stolen should have the green light to own it. Or, unless they live in an environment that practically neccessitates it. (Basically some parts of the States at this point)

But I wouldn't ever call it an inborn fundamental right. For every other tool out there you have to demonstrate that you have the skills and knowledge to properly use it and care for it. Same should apply to firearms.

Gaming / Re: Hammer Storm update out now and Warzone Firefight incoming!

Most of the fixes/patches/dlc are already too little too late.

Warzone Firefight is way past too little too late judging by that chronological release date.

I like how in every dynamics video they show how their models have upgraded and evolved. They went from a line of four legged models and basically now they've made the jump to two legged.

That robot skipped arm and leg day.

Right now it can't fight back. Eventually when it achieves perfect bodily symetrical proportions it'll achieve perfect killing machine status.

Everyone is a year behind the times in UP Michigan.

My dad is just now discovering "deez nuts," and he says it all the time.
Everybody's like 20 years behind on that one

Was just gonna say that. It's like the Jurassic Park of memes.

Currently listening to a 40 something customer talking about the article they read in the newspaper about #OscarsSoWhite.

Yeah, come to think of it, I just remebered that Prehistoric is a canuck.

Our legal system is soft as shit. Like, fluffy pillows soft. If he's worried about anything involving prison or juvi then the chances of that are highly unlikely. Honestly, all I can see coming out of coercing a minor for tits while being a minor is community service and probation.

Him being 13 doesn't excuse anything. I remember being 13, and I didn't do shit like that. I know my brother and he's much smarter than your average 13-year-old.
You may be more than a little biased here. From what I can tell, your brother is neither particularly smart nor "intellectually mature to know right from wrong". It's normal to think more of people we're close to, but you can't let it cloud your judgement.

Your brother needs your support, but he also needs to understand that this is not okay and that there might be consequences for what he's done. He's at an extremely impressionable and young age where things like this can shape him quite a bit. Coercing a very troubled girl into giving him nude pictures could be what starts him down a path to a lot worse than just that.

My knowledge of Canadian criminal law is pretty shaky, but I can give you my opinion on the legal side if you'd like.

It's okay Flee. Our criminal justice system is like going on a fucking free all expense paid trip to disneyland compared to the US's.

His brother sure as fuck won't be going to prison or even juvinile offenders stuff.

My money's on community service or two days in a police cell.

You'd think "smart" would also mean being able to pick and choose the better actions and morals to undertake, but it doesn't.

It did for me. When I say "smart" I mean mature enough intellectually to know basic right from wrong, here.

Oh well now you know. Shocking, right?

You'd think that "smart" correlates with common sense. Unfortunately, it doesn't. You know the term "evil genius" right? There's legitimately scummy people on the planet who are smart.

Not smart enough to choose between being a decent person or no. But smart enough in that they're cunning when it comes to being a cunt. Not saying that your brother is one of those efficient psychopaths. But you get my point.

Well, there's an issue then. You know how "smart" isn't really definable as a general term. Just like you can have a smart guy who knows how to build build things, or a smart guy who can run the numbers in math, you can have a smart guy who knows how to be a cunt.

You'd think "smart" would also mean being able to pick and choose the better actions and morals to undertake, but it doesn't.

I know I sure as fuck wasn't trying get nude pictures of girls at 13. And I think most people here were I live were like that too. Then again, cell phones and easy internet access wasn't a thing out here when I was 13.

Nowadays it's a lot easier to prey on people for shit like that.

Hard to say. I see those arguments about him being a 13 year old.  But at the same time, it depends on the context. A 13 year old might ask for tits and then after they got what they wanted, I doubt they'd really be interested in keeping it going for months or so as you say he has.

People always bring up age as an argument. "He's only this old." Well, I'll tell you what, recently, in my province, there happened to be a school shooting. 9 dead and 7 injured. The kid's in the 14-15 range.

They're not putting him up as a juvinile. He's being tried as an adult.

This is a different context from the situation here. But my point is that sometimes people, no matter how young they are, can't and shouldn't escape the full consequences. But it's not my place to really say since I don't have all the information and I'm not the one in that current situation.

I can't really say what I'd do either since, honestly, I'm used to cutting out family members who aren't nice people.

I just did a solo survival run on sortie 3
The enemies were about level 110 at the end.


I have no fucking clue how I managed to pull that off.
Tonkor?

If they were Grineer he'd be in trouble. Tonkor's blast primary is good for fucking corpus and machines, and a few types of infested. But the higher level grineer units wear armour that's resistant to blast damage.

I'm voting that he used that magnetic rifle that spawns black holes that just ragdoll everything no matter what it is.

Was that one pretty girl in school who was really mean.

Damn rocket you really blew a chance to be cunty on that one.
You think I was pretty?

OT:LCs grandma

That'd be karma wouldn't it? Mean pretty lady gets a re-roll as a dude but still wants to be a pretty lady? That's assuming my memory is right on the person I'm talking to.

I'm probably walking on thin ice here though with personal stuff so I'll shut my trap.

« on: February 23, 2016, 09:22:47 AM »
Depending on the critter and the relationship with said critter, pretty decent. I've got this cat that I found as a stray after the first few weeks I was in this province. Heard something meowing out in the field and went to go find it. Skinny little starving cat was hobbling along on two broken back legs. So I picked her up and that was that.

All she wants to do all day long is sit in my lap and pur. Which is nice on some days and some nights where I get really down because that cat is always there. Follows me everywhere and makes a fuss if I'm gone too long.

With a good dog, it's the same thing except multiplied a bit farther since you can travel with them and stuff like that.

Have any of you guys used the intuos 4? It's pretty cheap
I haven't, but I have a Pen & Touch Medium. In general I think Wacom's stuff is pretty decent.

« on: February 23, 2016, 09:12:28 AM »
So...

If being depressed isn't real and somebody believes that they're depressed, then they're technically believing in an imaginary thing right? Like an imaginary friend or that one voice that demands a sacrifice in people to the wood chipper?

Then that would make depressed people schizophrenics wouldn't it?
