BRICKFROG!

For a second I was wondering why Manitoba got to absorb so many states.

Your terribly cherry picked facts of taking only the deaths against the population (or so I assume, you have shown no work) are still dishonest to the issue. Napkin math shows that at least about 0.5% of US schools have had a school shooting in 2024 (546 incidents with 115,171 schools). “My facts are from the Brady Institute and are 100% correct.” is just simply incorrect as there are more victims of school shootings than the 414 deaths (the lowest it has been in 5 years, so not even an average)

Oh, and referencing the Brady Institute. I assume you mean this one?

The one fighting gun violence in schools with the exact opposite morale standing and talking points you mentioned?

You are likely the same kind of person who is saying “wHy diD wE mAke aLl thEm ozOnE lAws, iT’s fiNE nOW! wHaT a waSTe”.

Additional article for you as well, in general gun related deaths are the leading cause of death for children and teens. I guess that is inconsequential as well. https://publichealth.jhu.edu/2024/guns-remain-leading-cause-of-death-for-children-and-teens

Final point, I know I would never be able to change your mind / view point. The only hope is that others who read this back and forth also come to the realization that your numbers and position is full of crap.

You are correct, that was a flaw in my process.

If a child makes it from K to G12, that is 13 years of school. Checking a quick chart showing the number of enrollment in schools from in the 80’s and 90’s, enrollment was lower. Once it hit 2005, it is between 49m-51m. If we cut the percentage in half to and round down to 0.3%, my statement of the 4x magnitude still stands.

Thank you for considering, checking and bring up that misrepresentation in my previous number.

We can start by acknowledging that you are already pushing the line to minimize the issue by trying to make it about physical harm only, not psychological harm of being in an related incident.

Most recent data is from 2022, and indicates there are 49.6 million school aged children in the US. The closest we have to official numbers around children involved in gun violence in school shootings since 1999 starting with Columbine comes from the Washington Post (because, for some reason, the US government doesn’t track this). It says that 338,000 children have been involved over this time period.

That comes out to 0.7% of all school aged children have been involved in a school shooting in the US. Your 'bullshit, pulled from your ass, percentage above is 4 magnitudes off of reality. That is the same as you finding a ten dollar bill and loudly yelling “I JUST FOUND $100,000!”.

Do better and suck less. This is just around your claims as well, that is setting aside the monstrous view point that any percentage of kids would be acceptable to be involved in school shootings.

Fuck yes for Blind Guardian call

Doesn’t work everywhere. In Canada refusing the breathalyze test carries the same potential charge and failing the breathalyzer test. I know, I already agree with the “what the f*** kind of law is that”, but this is how things are.

DUI’s are a play-to-play win (paying enough for a good lawyer) or you need to be apart of an exclusive club, otherwise bend over.

I find it almost criminal the amount of people who do not know about this. Absolute life saver for work.

I think it is the fact her eyes always look like she is squinting with a “we both know everything I am doing is wrong, but you can’t do shit about it” kind of energy.

If you want “more of an answer” this question is already loaded to be implying that leaving motion blur on is the wrong answer. What kind of discussion could you possibly have around this? “I like how the blurred images fly past me” vs “I think you are wrong, clear images only club!”.

This isn’t something that will grow someones understanding or open up a whole new idea to them. Anyone can go click the button on and off, compare, and make a choice. If you were discussing what preferences someone had for a receipt and how they substitute ingredients for more/less savory, that makes sense for discussion. This does not.

Also, Canadian originally from Ontario and currently living in Alberta.

Best and most correct answer here … and this comes from a guy that hates motion blur and lens flare

There is a food truck with the same name in Grande Prairie Alberta, doubt it would be closer but at least it is out there.

Not necessarily related, but out before.

I would consider buying a Tesla after a couple years then … maybe.

If he is in a group of like minded people, then all the power to them.

We have played with people like this in the past, it can get really old really fast. We constantly had to remind them what to roll, what skills / feats / abilities they had, etc. Sometimes there would be a side bar for a character or two for a quick 15-20-minutes. After the PC(s) involved would finish their actions, the player not invested would add what they want to do and we would remind them that they didn’t go. Same thing as above, they were not on their phone or having side conversations. They were just a backseat passenger in their own mind when it came to the game.

We are far from a hardcore group. We regularly interrupt the session for other conversations, it is almost always parallel to a beer share so there is lots of distractions. Even then, the bare minimum for play is at least wanting to participate. The above post is the kind of play I need to do when hand holding my 5-year old along. They are just social loafing and want the “fun parts” (to them) to them at the rest of the tables expense.

With all the tripe released between then and now, it feels like well over a decade ago.

Lol, comments off on the youtube video…cowards.

I have hundreds of hours into this game, but man did this dev team wear me down and out. The constant, huge game changing development is the reason this has taken over 10 years to get to this point. Someone needed a bit better of exploration in their direction when they started.
