The Weird, Random or Interesting Things That Fit Nowhere Else Thread
Hurlshort replied to Blarghagh's topic in Way Off-Topic
I agree with most of what GD says. I'm not quite as condemning of the police, because I feel like their training reinforces certain flaws instead of correcting them. I also think there was opportunity to prevent the Maryland newspaper shooting by our legal system. It wasn't on the day of the shooting, but rather way ahead of time. There was a lot of build up to this guy walking into the building with a gun. The warning signs were there. Now obviously hindsight is 20/20, but we need to continue to learn and improve how we handle mental health in this country. I wish the energy that was spent on all this gun debate was focused on creating a society where people don't go on mass shooting sprees. -

The limit exists to prevent people from spamming a topic with a ton of videos, so maybe choose the best two and stick with that. -
Just finished a campaign of Xenonauts, and now I am starting up the GTA V story.

We could also probably train our police to not pull their guns out all the time. I am not sure those victims would benefit from having guns of their own as much as just not having cops who wave their guns around like it is the only way to deal with a situation. -

The new Jumanji was pretty funny. It was a gokd watch with the kids. -
Man, it needs higher backer levels!

The Good Place is fantastic. Ted Danson and Kristin Bell are just perfect.

I spent a few bucks to pick up Rust, but I can not get it to run easily. It takes forever to load servers, and then the performance is just a no-go. Might need to just give it up.

Sorry to hear that Bart.

Well it's a bit more than just gaining a few pounds. Everything stretches.

To be fair, pregnancy in general is super sexist. The woman has to grow an entire person inside her body while the man, if he's a decent sort, just goes on snack runs and holds her swelling hands.

Rogue Legacy is great, but it definitely needs a controller. -

Pretty common sight whenever we spend time in Arizona. The keys on the carabiner seem a bit much though. -
The Anita Hill situation was certainly not a good introduction to the public for Clarence Thomas. But honestly he's kept a fairly low profile since, so I'm not sure if hated if the right word.

Thanks for sharing, I guess?

We could definitely do with a change in the gun culture of the US. It's strange because I grew up with realistic looking toy guns and no one I knew was really all that interested in the real thing, and now all the toys look ridiculous and people people are super gung-ho about owning firearms. Probably not all that related, but still. I'd love to see an actual movement to establish legitimate militias that aren't filled with whack jobs and are focused on gun safety.

Yep, most people don't decide to destroy their doors when they aren't opening properly.

Except it isn't really bad writing or bad plotting unless you spend time thinking about it. Most people go to the movies, enkoy their two hours of entertainment, and never look back. Even discussing it here is way more than the vast majority of movie goers bother with. And really that is what I go into movies trying to do. 2 hours to hopefully be entertained by good acting, or humor, or bright visuals. I will leave the dissections up to the film school students. Also I don't really remember the 2nd ST being skewered. Maybe in ST circles it was, but in general I thought it was recieved as a typical summer popcorn action flick. -

I wouldn't say that, Episodes 2, 7 and 8 are pretty lackluster in that area for me, the most former being downright painful to watch again Why in the world would you watch them again? -

People also try to make too much of Star Wars. It's fun space fantasy. All of the movies have been entertaining in their own right. Not everything has to be high art. -
I don't think most people find it hard to imagine at all.

My first campaign in Xenonauts went pretty badly a few years back, and I stopped playing when I couldn't keep up with the UFO's. I've started a new game and it seems to be going much smoother. I just built my 3rd base and I'm starting to make plasma weapons, although my lasers are still pretty great.

https://www.yahoo.com/news/needs-paint-job-trump-blasts-virginia-restaurant-asking-sarah-sanders-leave-130000156.html I think this whole scenario is pretty dumb, but the reactions of everyone is just cray cray. The restaurant deserves some terrible yelp reviews and all that. I do not understand why the President of the United States is wasting time talking about the state of their canopies. I need to repeat that. I do not understand why the President of the United States is wasting time talking about the state of their canopies.
