Sub Reddit makes sense. I'm up for connecting on Facebook, but I'm hardly ever on there and when I am, it's for a group formed to connect owners of a breed of dogs SubReddit sounds good. I just want to say this, in case this place goes away. I have gotten more useful info from this board than almos...

Loved it. I think it punched way above it's weight. David Ayer makes entertaining movies.

It reminded me of Shadowrun, if anyone remembers that, from my secret nerd past.

This is a complicated case for several reasons. 1. The consensus seems to be that he lacked the mental stability to be a successful soldier; that this was evident at every training level (basic training, AIT, unit level, and deployed); and that he was still deemed fit to serve. Lowered standards wh...

I mean, imprisoned for 5 yrs by the Taliban is kind of its own punishment. Minimal ADDITIONAL punishment, I'd say. Valid point. Situation was completely of his own making, however. It's not like he was captured in battle. Also, another soldier was shot in the head is permanently disabled because he...

Funny, didn't happen in Houston during the massive evacuations and flooding either. What did happen is people started helping other people even when their situation wasn't great. Alfred had an interesting point, at one time our neighborhood was put under a mandatory evacuation order, however, there...

Here's the thing, true mental illness means delusions that people can't control. Very few of these people are ever violence in this kind of way with premeditated planning. There's a whole different side of mental illness that regards personality disorders or what we called borderline personality di...

Which ones are those? Switzerland. 30% (approx) gun ownership, virtually zero gun crime. About 1/5 of their suicides though. The Scandinavian Countries (except Sweden). Gun ownership is common (20-30 guns per 100 people), gun crime is rare. Sweden used to be the same, now it is becoming the AK and ...

Thing's that are rarely addressed (on purpose): -The relative homogeneity of a society in relation to it's level of gun violence -countries with ubiquitous access to guns but relatively little gun violence -the fact that most of the U.S. gun violence is concentrated both demographically and geograph...

One of the best, and possibly most underrated, movies of all time. An all time classic. The Cooper books were required reading in my house.

Other than opening a hard to tear plastic snack wrapper now and again, what do you guys use a knife for on such a regular basis that you need to carry daily? This week alone - twine, surgical tubing (practice/demo), and a bunch of boxes. Also, I don't go anywhere unarmed. I'm not saying that like, ...

My daily. 29 bucks from Amazon. Bulletproof, holds a great edge, less than 4 inches, single edged, no auto, gravity, or handle drop (all requirements for NY). https://www.amazon.com/Cold-Steel-Tanto-20NST-Black/dp/B01GSVTIVG/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1505523560&sr=8-2&keywords=cold+steel+pr...

I mean, despite the stupidity (the northern expedition Despite the tactical stupidity of this, I couldn't help love it. It brought together a bunch of my favorite Characters from the books. The Hound is one of the best parts of the show,the actor that plays him is great. Tormund, Thoros, and Berric...

We should turn this thread in to our favorite Instagrams. Here's a few good ones. https://www.instagram.com/amandaeliselee/ https://www.instagram.com/yoventura/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/xoobruna/ https://www.instagram.com/viktoria_kay/?hl=en https://www.instagram.com/genesismialopez/?hl=en ht...

No. I'm doing an experiment. I was actually going to write it up when I was done, maybe I'll write it up early.

No, I'm paying the "government contract" price, even though I have private insurance. Like any industry, when the govt pays, you charge double, triple, hell, 5 times the cost.

That's actually a fair and correct point as well. But my point stands, loss is budgeted into pricing.

Make sure you all don't blame the people who just charged me $800 to give my son some Tylenol after a bike wreck. It's all the insurance companies' fault and the gubment's for not paying it for me. I'm just starting my clinicals now...there are people here who have waaaaay more experience than me b...

Of course you all loved it. https://www.vice.com/en_us/article/matr ... -woman-999 Dude, Marston was a weird cat in general. I did a paper my Senior year of my English Degree arguing that comics were a legit form of literature and explore modern day mythology. Alan Moore, Walt Simonson, Jack Kirby....

A bunch of voters in Florida want him to give the finger to the Cuban Government.

Not picking on Trump here, it's been the standard since forever. But the hypocrisy is pretty painful to watch. How many acts of terrorism have been committed by Cubans versus Saudis? This is not an argument, because we shouldn't be supporting either regime, but Cuba supported a lot of terrorism. Es...

This is the logical consequence of the austerity agenda. I've never actually discussed this with my relatives in England Odin, but I would imagine it is the same as here (U.S.). Politicians here do something called the "Firemen first" threat. Whenever a tax cut is proposed, no matter how ...

I thought it was very good. Pretty much everything you said was on the money Jim. My mother saw it with her Golden Girl crew and they all loved it. My minor criticisms - they didn't really establish any threats to someone of her power level. Because she was so powerful she really didn't need her &qu...

when I was growing up - when his parents moved here - our main terrorist threats had Irish accents. No offense to you or yours, but those Paddy's were treated far more harshly (wrong or right) than the current crop of jihadists. My ancestry is pure NI, first generation on my father's side, I had to...

I'm mostly libertarian, but the libertarian open borders position would only work if the government was actually libertarian(i.e. No entitlements, no federal taxes, little to no federal regulations, etc). Otherwise humans always go where the free money is and the country will go broke, eventually t...

I continue to wonder how many of our young male mass shooters are on psychotropics. A whole fuckload. Not just on them, but have been recently removed from them. Suicidal ideation is not just a side effect, it can also be a withdrawal symptom of benzos and ssri's. The thing is, and it's very human ...

no civilian has been prosecuted in a hundred years under that statute.

I would bring up Deutch and Berger, but it has been a long time. I don't remember if Berger was charged for the documents or for lying about it. Deutch was pardoned by Clinton.
