Topic | I don't understand how a stricter gun law would prevent creating mass shooters. |
Sonic Cannon 03/24/18 11:38:59 PM #4 | The black market is considerably smaller, more expensive, and less available in countries with stricter gun laws. Most mass shooters tend to be young, socially isolated men with low incomes. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | Disney Removes Guns from Solo: A Star Wars Story movie posters |
Sonic Cannon 03/23/18 9:58:16 AM #54 | I am in favour of changing gun laws in the US, but if this change is anything to do with the political climate, that's just stupid. I will be interested to see where these posters actually appear in the wild. It looks like they have not entirely replaced the original design, just created this version as alternative art. And there's some plagiarism case involved? --- Keep it green. |
Topic | Goatthief is in the ER |
Sonic Cannon 03/23/18 9:54:00 AM #64 | Hmm so it wasn't appendicitis after all. From what you're saying, sounds like the CT showed some kind of colitis? --- Keep it green. |

Sonic Cannon 03/23/18 9:52:29 AM #63 | Frostshock posted... How do you wait to reach the point where your appendix bursts, then go to a doctor? It's not always obvious. Depending on the position of the appendix it can be pretty vague pain, and just feel like you have some kind of common infection. --- Keep it green. |

Sonic Cannon 03/20/18 7:13:33 AM #70 | Tmaster148 posted... A recent hand trap Damn that card is versatile as fuck. The ease/speed of summoning extra strong monsters accelerates the game like crazy, and that's why I felt Synchro was the first significant step down the dark path. Although I think the game was peaking around the time D.A.D and then Lightsworn decks became a thing, I actually really like some of the early Synchro cards like Stardust Dragon (which is really cool without being too OP.) Macro Monarch was probably my favourite deck type overall. It started to fall apart from a balance perspective later in series 6 after Crimson Crisis, Blackwings etc. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | People on reddit ask what's the most toxic forum, and... |
Sonic Cannon 03/13/18 5:11:06 PM #54 | The dark parts of reddit are more nasty and extreme than here by far, probably because of the strict moderation here. The troll density on the social boards is high here though, and because there's no downvoting it is always visible. On the game boards, you get a lot of gatekeeping, fanboys and general shit-talking, but also there is quite a bit of good content there to be found for most games. --- Keep it green. |

Sonic Cannon 03/13/18 5:42:08 AM #39 | Airhammy posted... Roman is just filling that "rammed down your throat" type role that Cena has had all these years. Cena's hate has become more of a joke now. AJ Styles and Seth Rollins are consistently rock solid performers. Some of the older guys can still do great stuff too (Randy Orton comes to mind). I think that one spot Rollins vs Orton had at WM a few years ago was one of the best I've ever seen: ![]() --- Keep it green. |

Sonic Cannon 03/12/18 7:06:31 PM #52 | _RETS_ posted... A few improvements I would have made: I agree with most of this. Disagree about the throne room scene though, I think what they did was enough setup for Kylo in e9. I hadnt considered the idea of changing who the codebreaker was supposed to be, but that would have been a good way to cut out a bunch of BS in that part of the film. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | So now here we are in 2018, who won? Sony or Microsoft? |
Sonic Cannon 03/11/18 4:48:02 PM #9 | Romulox28 posted... Overall this has been a shitty gen so far for all platforms. This, kind of. Sony has been in the lead for most of this gen, and deservedly so with a better library of exclusives. Xbox has had a few strong ones early on (Halo MCC, Sunset Overdrive, Rare Replay, Forza Horizon series) but not much in the last couple of years. MS has done far better things on the business side, with their game pass, backward compatibility, PC cross buy, etc. The One X is also a much better upgrade system than the PS4Pro, and I would probably recommend that as the best entry point to the generation to people who havent got a current gen console. The winner of 2017 was the Nintendo Switch; they just stomped right out of the gate with 2 big top-quality first-party exclusives, and a whole bunch of solid ports and indie titles. Remains to be seen if this will continue, though. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | ideal playlist length? |
Sonic Cannon 03/10/18 3:02:13 AM #13 | Depends on the purpose. The ones I use for road trips are usually enough to cover the lengh of the trip plus 30-60 mins or so extra. For commuting and casual listening I don't make many long playlists, and tend to listen to albums most of the time. --- Keep it green. |

Topic | How are generic cover letters,when job seeking? |
Sonic Cannon 03/09/18 5:29:29 AM #20 | scar the 1 posted... What kind of jobs are you applying for? When I looked around for jobs, the employers didn't want unique cover letters. They wanted standardized applications through their own web service or through LinkedIn. Yeah not everywhere even wants/cares about cover letters, depending on the role. I agree that the cover letter needs to be tailored. Even if it's a similar job at a different company, try to put at least one specific thing about their exact job. If you're not going to customise the letter, I would actually lean on the side of not doing one at all. --- Keep it green. |
Topic | which monster hunter game is easiest for a beginner? |
Sonic Cannon 03/09/18 12:41:29 AM #2 | MHW is the best option for a new player, by far. Even after all the improvements there are still things that are very opaque and clunky, though. Start the game, get up to the great jagras fight and repeat that a few times with different weapons to get a feel for how it goes. --- Keep it green. |

Also those glasses that adjust color blindness and allow people to see all the colors for the first time tells me we are on to something. People are complaining that other people aren't deaf.any more. People feel rejected when others get the implant. Often deaf couples will be opposed to their children getting implants. --- Keep it green. |

Sonic Cannon 03/08/18 3:50:43 AM #21 | I'd say there is a lot of negativity toward incels, but honestly nobody ever brings them up. In politics and the media NEETs are often mentioned as a problem. So I vote NEET --- Keep it green. |

Topic | Are brain transplants a thing? |
Sonic Cannon 03/08/18 3:40:12 AM #23 | iClockwork posted... MabusIncarnate posted...Okay, looking into this, it's contributing to killing "deaf culture" and not literally killing deaf people. Deaf people vs cochlear implants is probably the most mind-bending disability issue I've come across. I've never seen blind people advocating against cataract surgery or macular degeneration treatment, or those with mobility issues campaigning against wheelchairs, prosthetics and physiotherapy. The whole deaf "culture" is about supporting each other in adverse circumstances, and finding a way to cope. Disapproving of others who want to remove themselves from those adverse circumstances just seems cruel. --- Keep it green. |

Sonic Cannon 03/03/18 1:07:09 AM #41 | I've only played the original NieR, just a few months ago. It's got strong writing, for sure, but I think playthrough B was the high point. That and the final ending. Most of the game is just filler. Some of the side quests have a few nice lines in them, but not worth the time it takes to complete them. --- Keep it green. |
