Topic | People on my Facebook are praying for hurricane victims |
Zeus 09/10/17 9:41:01 PM #69 | adjl posted... Alexandra_Trent posted...When people die, others offer their condolences. Is this helpful at all too? By your logic, you shouldn't accept these condolences as they aren't REALLY PHYSICALLY helpful. But that's not the point is it? The point is that these people reached out and offered their emotional support. Pretty sure anybody reading it would take at least some solace from it or, at least, nearly as much solace as they would from a "personal" condolences. More so, people who actually know the affected generally *also* offer personalized sympathy to that individual so it's not even an either/or like you're trying to posit. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash |

Zeus 09/10/17 9:29:13 PM #6 | Given that 50 is slow, you've picked some bizarre benchmarks and I'm not sure that anybody does less than 20/minute even via hunt&peck, you've picked some terrible benchmarks. When I was in high school, my gwam between 120-130. These days, it's about down to 80-90 because I fell back into the habit of being more conscious about errors and going back to correct them which eats up time (although that's really more of a testing error, I suppose). --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash |
Topic | Russian meddling in the US election last year was a problem how? |
Zeus 09/10/17 9:15:32 PM #30 | BlackScythe0 posted... Zeus posted...Honestly, it probably won't turn up anything and, even if it does, it's extremely unlikely to link anything to Trump. People have tried to spin it as the mere decision for Don Jr to meet with the lawyer constitutes a crime but, if that was the case, we'd probably have heard more of it by now. Given that they can't keep anything else quiet, why would you assume things would start now? Keep in mind that James Comey's firing hit the press before Comey learned about it. Mead posted... Using foreign money to influence a US election is a crime, plain and simple. I'm behind on my Russian conspiracy theories. What's this one about? Doctor Foxx posted... Wasn't the narrative "there was no Russian meddling?" When did the goalposts get changed to "there was meddling but what is the problem?" Probably when the definition of "meddling" got changed. Especially since a lot of things people are calling "meddling" now -- such as running bad PR against candidates -- are things other nations have literally been doing all along without anybody criticizing it. Otherwise, if Russia was actually behind the DNC hack -- which, by the way, we only really have the DNC's word for because they handed over their consultant's findings to the intelligence agencies rather than any hardware -- that's clearly meddling and a problem. However, a lot of the claims of meddling are speculative at best where we can track IP activity to Russia -- assuming that they aren't just tunneling -- but that doesn't automatically entail that the government is behind it. BlackScythe0 posted... Doctor Foxx posted...Wasn't the narrative "there was no Russian meddling?" When did the goalposts get changed to "there was meddling but what is the problem?" Which had nothing to do with the meddling claims we'd heard all along and, more importantly, resulted in nothing considering that even if they got something they never used it. Krazy_Kirby posted... thats just them getting information from someone. shouldn't even be a crime. It's a somewhat silly double-standard, and overlooks that information can be more important than how it's acquired. Granted, with a foreign power as the source (or a super-pac, corporation, etc), the information isn't always reliable because of possible agendas. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash |

Topic | What is your Pokemon dream team if Pokemon were real |
Zeus 09/10/17 1:09:57 PM #39 | TheSlinja posted... Zeus posted...Pokedex entries (game ones) contradict themselves, which is why nobody uses them. The *only* real source you have for this is the anime since it's not a game function. Plus, in some cases, the Pokedex entry being true would mean that the Pokemon wouldn't be used in the game. Except for the fact that the anime heavily influenced the games, to the point that XY used a companion system and -- years earlier -- the anime changed character and monster designs in the games. Plus the anime is, broadly speaking, the more complete incarnation of the franchise and covers aspects which would otherwise be left to imagination. As for the in-game Pokedex, it was *always* notoriously unreliable. Especially given that, if the examples you cite are true, nobody in the games would actually use those Pokemon. The fact that they do demonstrates that the Pokedex entries are either exaggerations or just something made up on the spot by the localization team And, in general, a LOT of people are "in charge of making Pokemon." It's not like there's one person doing everything. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash |

At that point they're just kind of pansies. Few problems with that attitude: 1) Rule of law. Vigilantes want a pretty tight line where they're outside of the law yet law enforcement generally doesn't come after them. However, the second they start killing people, they become a target for law enforcement. 2) Moral codes and the slippery slope. If a hero has never murdered anybody, it's obviously going to be a much harder decision. And, in general, their attitude of righting wrongs includes not doing wrong. 3) It's up to the system. It's not the hero's responsibility to either punish or carry out punishments. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash |

Zeus 09/09/17 7:23:22 PM #26 | Firewood18 posted... I'm going by the basic definition of a shooting taking place in a school. Which is an intentionally deceptive definition used by shitlords and pundits to peddle propaganda. It's designed to make people think that a guy shooting his ex-wife at her job is *exactly* the same as Columbine to cultivate the perception that the US can't go a week without a Sandy Hook. Firewood18 posted... tbh Zeus is the first and only person I've actually considered ignoring here. And yet ironically I'm the person you should most be listening to right now . _AdjI_ posted... Which is a fairly silly implication because school shootings are still really bad even when they don't have a sizable body count. And what's worse is using murders to prop up and perpetuate a false agenda. That's not just trivializing their deaths, it's maliciously misrepresenting them. _AdjI_ posted... It should be more restricted than access to mental health services, at least. Which is to say mental health services need to be vastly improved, since as you pointed out, completely restricting access to weaponry is pretty much impossible. Which would actually do nothing to prevent most of things you're trying to define as school shootings. It might help out with the actual crazies going on a rampage, but an angry guy who wants to kill his ex isn't exactly going to be flagged for a psych eval because he doesn't seem far enough gone yet. --- (\/)(\/)|-| In Zeus We Trust: All Others Pay Cash |
