  1. Ug, don't even get me started on religion. If I told you I absolutely believed in the Flying Spaghetti Monster you would look at me like I'm crazy. But you (not you) say you learned about an omnipotent being from a book that's been; mistranslated, misinterpreted and edited over thousands of years to suit the narrative of those in power and people go all *nodnod*. Regardless, I don't think people need to be scooped up, just some standardized testing administered on a semi-regular basis?
  2. Good ole' "mental health issues". Well duh. But the bigger issue is how to ferret out these "mental health issues". What makes a mass murderer? I dunno. Maybe we can take a more proactive stance wrt predicting "mental health issues"? We know that genetics plays a part in this so, again, collecting every single persons DNA at birth would be a good start at building a database. Perhaps an "are you cray cray" test could be administered with approximately the same frequency as drivers license renewals? We cant just wait around for someone to raise their hand and tell us they are utterly unhinged.
  3. Id be interested to read about this if you have any links.
  4. Or drones and robodogs. The students and staff could be identified via facial recognition software and any person not in the datatbase that enters school properties....BAM....a face full of pepper spray.
  5. I cant place the laser gun top row second from the right. At first glance I thought it was the Flash Gordon ray gun but looking at it online, that's not it.
  6. The thought of cops going door to door inspecting gun storage spaces makes me lol.
  7. I would LOVE mental evaluations for drivers licenses. The more people off the road the better!
  8. *NSFW* https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OuX-nFmL0II *NSFW*
  9. I think Malc is referring to FOPA.
  10. "Automatic weaponry" is illegal for civilian ownership in the US.
  11. What Can SNAP Buy? So apparently, canned - but no fresh - fruits and vegetables, are the difference? Some articles seem to be referring to the inefficiency of the Trump proposal but I don't see much information on a mass die off due to lack of uncanned products: Trump Administration Wants To Decide What Food SNAP Recipients Will Get.
  12. Iirc, "slow mode" has been removed and replaced with a "combat speed slider" but I don't feel like looking for the link.
  13. Regular civilians? Not that I'm aware of. A felonious criminal record will block legal purchases though.
  14. Pillars of Eternity (pen-and-paper RPG).
  15. He should print you guys a new furnace!
  16. Whats your source for internet?
  17. I wonder what its like for most brand new players. If you vets don't fully understand, are the new people hopelessly lost? Or perhaps being "new" with fresh eyes and zero expectations allows an organic understanding of PoE rules and systems? My guess is most new players don't even realize when something has gone sideways and can brute force the main path regardless of build, understanding of systems, or bugs.
  18. ^Iirc, that's a "feature" and carries over to PoE2.
  19. UK Police Trial Mobile Fingerprint Scanners Linked to Criminal and Immigration Databases. Its a good plan but I think the Chinese have a better idea: Chinese police are using facial-recognition glasses to scan travelers.
  20. A tragic occurrence and all that but someone with a gun is one case where they should definitely err to the side of their own and the publics safety, imo.

  22. Yeah, I couldn't "get it" either with PoE 1 hence my lack of purchasing PoE 2. I fully accept the problem is me, but man, Obs is pretty much diametrically opposed to the things I like in gaming.
  23. Gah, they do the same crap during American Ninja Warrior. Every contestant gets a 5 minute infomercial where I couldn't give a damn about Jack's insulin pump or Dianne's rock climbing pastime. Just run the damn course already!
  24. ^Them's fightin words.
