as an aside, i did not want this to blow up the way it did. i made an offhand remark about a person from history towards whom i hold a great deal of enmity and im getting dogpiled by half the board. this is why i dont post much here anymore.
I see where you're coming from but a lot of your posts are very terse and passive aggressive. Even when it's not directed at a person people can't really find a way to respond to that without stepping it up.
way i saw it for a long time is, either i can make innocuous posts that no one notices or i can be frank about my feelings and actually get some interaction. so in a way im kind of asking for it, yea, but motherfuck, its just so tedious.
I know. I know what you mean. But that's not the way to do it.

-First kiss 4 years late
-Skipped the next 2 and had a holiday with friends at 18.
-Move out (temporarily) happened at 18
-Everything else hasn't happened.
And holy shit is this scale biased. Most revolve around buying things, made by a company that sells loans

Everyone jokes about this but I seriously doubt we'll get another meme candidate in 2020.
You say that now.
We said that four years ago.
Honestly I think Kanye deserves a chance.
Your trolling has gotten so shitty lately.
I'm not trolling, I never have trolled. Your moderation was always shitty and still is, so are your vapid and oversexualized posts.
So, you seriously believe that Kanye West should be the President and Commander and Chief of the United States?
Can you tell me what qualities he possesses that you belief would make him excel at the job? Experience?
believe* commander in chief* If you took that post seriously and didn't realize I was being ironic that's on you.

it would probably help if you weren't smitten with a convict that enables your addiction
Why don't you go pretend to understand some relationships you're actually a part of.
They're made for each other Nuka. God forbid these people leech off of others and destroy the lives of actual decent people. Stay together forever guys.

The FBI spent the equivalent of $150,000 to research this back in the 70's. They found that normal predators and insects were the cause of most of it, with a few cases suggesting human interference.
A likely story.
It's pretty lengthy (a 100 something pages in total), but the entire report is available online on the FBI Vault. Happy reading!
yea alright guy

Is it bad to leave your laptop plugged in a lot? It shortens the battery life. I only plugged in my laptop when it was absolutely low on power and I manged to keep the battery for another year past its life. Now it's completely shot and needs the charger at all times, and keeping it plugged in when it's charged will expedite that problem.
pepsi says that modern laptops will secretly decrease to 90% when plugged in with a full charge to prevent this from happening
or something like that
mine does that

slashX is getting pretty sad to watch
Why should I take you seriously when you literally just said we should live in a police state/dictatorship while opposing trump?
because that would be fucking awesome?
How? A lot of people oppose drumpf because they see him as a dictatorial figure so that doesn't really follow.
not all dictators are malevolent
That's extremely rare in history. And when the benevolent dictator dies, you're back to a terrible existence. Even then they usually had advisors and other important figures helping to make decisions. Imagine having drumpf since he was 18 until he dies. Instead of (maybe) another 3 years. At worst 7.

I'd say it's the complete opposite. If you're legitimately just looking to defend yourself and be a responsible, law abiding gun owner, I feel it would be worth it to jump through a few hoops to get what you want. Especially when those hoops are there to keep guns out of the hands of the baddies. People who argue against this usually don't understand the way the illegal market for guns works and how criminals obtain firearms. At this point, I'd say there's pretty major academic consensus that gun control works. It's just the practical implementation that people disagree on. The more reseach goes into this, the more clear this becomes. I could cite you dozens of studies finding this, but that wouldn't get us anywhere, so I'll limit this to a few very recent and notable ones. I am aware of how the illegal market for guns works, don't worry. I'm also not one of those idiots that makes the bullshit argument of "LOL GUNS R BANNED IN CHICAGO AND LOOK HOW BAD IT IS LMAO". I just feel that the way a lot of these laws are implemented is terrible. Many of them seem very reasonable on paper, but in practice results in bullshit raids by the ATF. A 2016 study by Harvard Medical School concluded that "stronger gun policies were associated with decreased rates of firearm homicide".
Another 2016 meta-analysis of 130 studies (the biggest of its kind to date, done by Columbia University) also concluded that more gun restrictions equal fewer deaths. This coincides with other high profile research by Harvard finding that looser gun control laws and higher rates of firearm ownership are linked to more firearm robberies, more firearm assaults and more homicide in general, and Boston University analyzing gun control and gun crime trends over the course of 30 years to again confirm the link between access to firearms and high rate of firearm homicides. On the opposite end, research done by Stanford University recently reaffirmed that right-to-carry gun laws are connected with an increase in violent crime. Perhaps the most relevant piece of research is this study from December 2016. It's conducted by an infamous pro-gun researcher, making this all the more interesting. He looked at all major American cities and found that "requiring a license to possess a gun appears to reduce rates of both homicide and robbery", and that there exists (albeit weaker) evidence to also suggest that other types of gun control may reduce assault and robbery rates.
If you want to see this put in a more coherent way, I can recommend this (part 2, but it's more relevant) and this (part 1). It does a pretty good job at illustrating how gun control works and how it doesn't just hurt the normal people looking to defend themselves. I can't argue against the facts, legislation absolutely causes a noticeable decrease in homicides and especially accidental deaths. But I feel that certain things might be skewed, and that many gun crimes are lumped together and that illegal guns are even thrown into the statistics. I feel like it's too easy to buy a firearm in some states, and then that they make it extremely difficult in others. What's the point if the legislation isn't even nationwide? And I think especially that certain laws like a 10 round magazine limit are absolutely retarded. How many of them actually got in serious trouble for it? I would fully expect to be arrested for breaking the law, but mitigating circumstances should be taken into account.
I don't know, honestly. I'm not sure to what extent it was taken within the legal system. But why should you expect to be arrested for carrying a rifle (which you didn't need licensing for at the time) or even a pistol (which do need licensing) if you're just defending yourself? Surely the parameters should change? What's your opinion on that, as a lawyer?

Imagine, this was in the 90's when gun control wasn't that big of a thing.
I mean... the late 80s saw the Hughes amendment and then the early 90's Clinton's assault weapons ban happened.
But wasn't the assault weapons ban after the riots?
Yeah but it wasn't an immediate reaction, you had very strong calls for gun control reforms appearing after the Kennedy assassination and everything just built up from there.
But I'm saying in the early 90's in California it was nowhere near as strict as it is today.
