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.


As I've mentioned already, that's a personal thing, and it's being so personal that gives it value. Similarly, offering prayers for somebody specific is a personal way to demonstrate sympathy and provide emotional support. If I post "my thoughts and prayers are with everyone who has lost a loved one today" on Facebook, though, that's not personal. I can guarantee that somebody somewhere has lost a loved one today (literally any day), and could use some sympathy and emotional support, but if I'm not actually going to specify anything about the people I'm sympathizing with, nobody in particular is going to feel supported by that.

That's why it's largely a form of self-gratification. "Maybe somebody affected by the disaster will end up reading my post and maybe they won't notice that it's not at all personally directed to them and they'll feel better" is not genuinely trying to help. It's not putting any thought into how somebody can make a difference for these victims. It's doing the barest minimum possible to feel good about oneself and/or look benevolent in front of their peers, then moving on without actually considering how much good it'll do. That's not caring.


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.

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).

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.


People must be used to leaks or something. Why would Mueller publicly disclose his findings and keep the people up to date on his investigation?


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.

Using foreign money to influence a US election is a crime, plain and simple.

Deal with it.


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.

Once the kids were forced to admit they set up a meeting hoping to get dirt from Russia on Hillary because they wanted Trump to win.


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.

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.

I think if Michael Bay was involved in this movie(like he was in Transformers and Turtles) it could've been at least slightly more exciting to watch.
This movie could've needed another explosion or two.

Even the latest TMNT movie was better Power Rangers(2017).

I've always been a fan of Turtles but still, giant robots fighting monsters/other robots is pretty cool.


michael bay tmnt is an abomination.
its dragonball evolution levels of bad


It's not. Like nowhere near close. It's MB's Transformers bad which, while bad, still manages to make tons of money -- almost $500m, 4x its budget -- whereas DBE didn't even turn a Hollywood profit (ie, double its budget)

Granted, DBE *is* entertaining in its own way. Sure, it's not as hilarious as Street Fighter, but it has so many WTF decisions making it great.

I'm much more used to bacon on its own than eggs on its own, partly because bacon is a lot easier to make since you can just microwave a few strips.

All you need to do is crack an egg onto a pan with a tiny bit of oil and wait, like, 2 minutes.

I dont think its that cut and dry since the anime is the one with the least amount of influence from the people in charge of making pokemon itself


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.

I thought they called themselves that? That's what that huge "Unite the Right" thing was about, and between the Muslim ban and the wall against Mexico it's pretty easy to see that they're gunning for racial purity.


Which is the old backdoor, "If you vote for Trump, you're a white nationalist," and one of the big reasons why Trump finally won. If you keep blowing your dog whistle or just flat-out crying wolf on every policy you disagree with to reframe it as racist, eventually you lose whatever power the term had because people stop taking it seriously and outright reject your nonsense.

Ramsay Bolton was also an incredible heel, although he wasn't nearly as hatable as Joffrey because Joffrey also established himself as a sniveling crybaby so he really had no redeeming features.

Ramsay also has an odd sort of coolness to him. Like, he's clearly crazy, but he's also a bit snarky, and like you implied, he DOES get shit done. So while he's way more squicky in some ways, he's also more likeable in an odd, twisted sort of way.

Sure, you're still rooting for someone to shove three feet of steel directly into his face, but I don't think you get that same universally visceral YES! moment with him the way you do with Little King Shitheel.


Joffrey was more sympathetic than Ramsay Bolton. I felt a tiny bit bad for Joffrey because there was never any way he was going to get out of Tywin's shadow, even if he was a good person. Also unlike Ramsay, Joffrey never targeted his family members for execution. His biggest act, killing Ned Stark, was impulsive and cruel but basically where the Lannisters were going with Ned anyway.


Joffrey very likely would have killed some of his relatives eventually. He hated Tyrion, bullied Tommen, etc. Keep in mind that he threatened to rape Aunt Sansa. How long do you think it'd before he killed her? The difference between Ramsay and Joffrey is that Joffrey died before he do even more heinous things.

It annoys me when they're so good they refuse to kill someone who gets away and murders 12 people every repeatedly. At that point they're just kind of pansies.

One time? Totally fine. 7 times? That's just poor writing.


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.

However, I half-suspect that it's just a parody rather than the truth since you're more likely to find Christians who believe that dinos went extinct with the flood from Noah's Ark or that they're still out there as cryptids.

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.

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.

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.

Apparently having preferences is racist? It's kind of like how if straight men don't fuck an attractive man then they're homophobic, right?


Keep reading.

It's not that people don't or can't have preferences, it's that they're so eager to shout it from the rooftops every time a topic about an attractive black woman comes up.


You posted that while I was posting. Not that your defense is much of a defense.

Not really. She's kinda flat-chested and boyish-looking or, at least, she was in TFA which you told us to judge her by.

Wonder how much of that decline was because of people realizing that the people running the religion were covering up for a gang of pedophiles.


Next to none. There aren't fewer white people in the country today because priests touched little boys. (Well, maybe in some cases, but it hasn't led a major demographic shift and this topic is about WHITE Christians.)

they killed more in a shorter span sure, but hes talking over all through out history


150 million to 300 million killed by government in the span of a century is less than "throughout history"?

Especially when there was less than 100 million people worldwide at any given time in antiquity? Make that the single millions during prehistoric times.


well with nazi germany you can equate it to religion. just the hate of one instead in promotion of one.


Jews weren't killed in Nazi Germany because of their faith. After all, many Christians of Jewish descent were rounded up as well. Quite frankly, I would expect you to know better than to suggest that it was a matter of religion.

Kinda depends on the context. An earthquake can also trigger a tsunami, which would be the worst. However, a max earthquake might be less lethal than a max hurricane in some places.

Couldn't an earthquake also trigger that volcano thing under Yellowstone? I imagine that would be pretty devastating.


Yes, if it somehow triggered a supervolcano it could potentially trigger an extinction-level event. I'm not sure if a quake could necessarily do that, though.

Out of the bunch, the blizzard or tornado would probably be the smallest issue since you can just take shelter underground for a tornado and you can kinda wait a blizzard out.
