They'd best kick Joaquin Phoenix out of the way. He can't compete with this.

No but really what the fuck is this. Tho I'm not gonna lie, his Joker laugh isn't bad. Definitely better than Leto's wheezing.

Wiseau's joker is pretty good, Heath Ledger is still my favorite though. RIP

The Hump Express November 1945 interview of Alexander de Seversky about Hiroshima and Nagasaki

http://www.cbi-theater.com/hump_express/hump111545.html

You understand that since Hiroshima MUCH more powerful nuclear weapons have been developed?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tsar_Bomba

"he Tsar Bomba was a three-stage bomb with Trutnev-Babaev second and third stage design, with a yield of 50 megatons. This is equivalent to about 1,570 times the combined energy of the bombs that destroyed Hiroshima and Nagasaki, 10 times the combined energy of all the conventional explosives used in World War II, one-quarter of the estimated yield of the 1883 eruption of Krakatoa, and 10% of the combined yield of all nuclear tests to date."

I thought the Tsar Bomba was only a concept, and was never actually created.

Holy shit, Trump is (maybe) bowing to pressure!

https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2018-02-21/bump-stock-prices-soar-after-trump-proposes-ban

Watch the video.  Even the NRA, on Fox News, agrees with addition regulations for bump stocks!

Banning bump stocks won't do anything. You can make your own from supplies from Home Depot.

I am aware.
Doesn't mean it isn't a step.  I can only hope its used as a springboard to other bans.

And you just validated my concerns as to why I'm not in favor of the ban. If you succeed with this, you won't be happy until you're three miles down the road.

I won't be happy until kids can go to school without having to worry they'll be shot at.


And if you feel your guns are more important than that, then you don't deserve a future.

I too want kids to go to school without worried about being shot. And I also value kids more tgan guns. However neither of those attributes means I'm going to support everything that you propose. Because I don't want kids shot is why I advocate for allowing staff to be trained and armed if they want. Because I value kids over firearms is the reason why I to abolish gun free zones especially gun free zones with no way of enforcing it like metal detectors.

But even if every teacher got a gun, was certified, and was the best damn shot in the world, it wouldn't stop a mass shooting from starting.  Kids WILL die because someone is gonna be first and only AFTER the first shot is fired and the first person killed will the alarm (hopefully) get sounded.
I mean, hell, if you know the teachers are armed, aim for them first then go for the kids.
Or do it when the halls are crowded so the helpful teachers can't shoot back.

I worked at a school district whose high school had about 1,200 students. Every 45 mintues classes changed.  Every ring of that bell had 1,200 students walking through crowded halls.  And with an AR, ya don't even need to aim. 

The best solution is to stop it before it starts, not after.

I mean, Florida just signed a bill into law that did it.  The funny thing is, is that the teacher needs a huge amount of certification, drug tests, psych eval, etc... to do it.  But if I'm just some guy, I don't need all that to get a gun.  Kinda odd, isn't it?  That a normal person, who is likely to want to kill students, don't need to be checked, but the "good guy with a gun" teacher at the school does.

My thoughts exactly. Wouldn't less bullets typically result in less casualties?

I bought it launch day and still play it every day. It's fantastic. If it interests you, get it, fo sho.

I wish the joy-cons were a bit bigger, but otherwise, 10/10 would recommend. Zelda is great, Mario is great, Splatoon is pretty good. However, the online functionality is pretty bad, but that's a given with Nintendo.
Also: PC Master race.

I'm calling it now - they'll shoot a gritty, grounded movie that downplays the capeshit elements heavily, and then at the last minute WB will decide to go in the opposite direction and reshoot half the movie to add a bunch of Batman cameos and lines of dialogue referencing capeshit. Bonus points if we can see the actors gain weight and the backgrounds turn into shitty green screens mid-scene.

And the origin story will be retarted. But other than that, agreed.

So the general consensus is Elite is good? Or is SC still objectively better?

The answer to both of those questions is yes.

Well, SC is better until someone shoots the shield generator.....
