| Topic | Gun nuts: Terrorist attack happens, we need to close the borders |
| Blbmbr666 02/18/18 1:49:10 AM #56 | LordRazziel posted... That's just school shootings, not all mass shootings. What is a mass shooting to you, more than 2, evidently. Guess I can't directly refute that, but to me, you need more. I'm not a psychologist, but if you're mentally unstable enough to want to kill people that badly, not getting a gun isn't gonna stop you. --- |

| Blbmbr666 02/18/18 12:52:17 AM #43 | LordRazziel posted... So in the same way immigration can't stop Islamic extremists, but could reduce their numbers, couldn't stricter gun laws reduce incidents of mass murder? I just wanna point out that your comparison is flawed. Immigration changes would stop the perpetrators of violence, a gun law would only make a tool harder to acquire instead of stopping the perpetrators. --- |

| Blbmbr666 02/18/18 12:44:47 AM #37 | MaverickXeo posted... Weapons have always had the same sort of 'laws' so why is the change occurring now? I agree completely. It's not about access to guns IMO. I'm trying to imagine what concessions would have to be made to get to the root of the problem though. --- |

Blbmbr666 posted...but it's much easier to start with a very simple licensing test for rifles than to overhaul mental health industries.you say that, but here we are 24 years after the AWB and pretty much nothing else has been accomplished. the gun community has triple downed on everything after that no matter how small. mental health might be a far easier thing to go for that people of both sides can agree on. Also a fair point. I'll freely admit I haven't done much deeper thinking on a real solution to this, but to me it seems almost easier to prove mental health is a much bigger issue than spooky looking guns. --- |

However, me agreeing to a licensing test works both as a simple solution to start with, and if it doesn't work, proof that the firearms themselves aren't the issue. --- |

| Blbmbr666 02/18/18 12:32:41 AM #27 | MaverickXeo posted... Blbmbr666 posted...There definitely need to be changes to law around firearms. It's probably going to take multiple changes in a few different areas to actually 'fix' this issue. I'm personally of the belief that mental health is a larger cause than the guns themselves, but it's much easier to start with a very simple licensing test for rifles than to overhaul mental health industries. --- |

| Blbmbr666 02/18/18 12:30:41 AM #24 | There definitely need to be changes to law around firearms. That said, people need to fucking learn that assault rifle and 'assault weapon' are two different things. 'Assault weapon' is a stupid term that needs to be dropped. --- |

| Topic | Help me with my router/find a new one |
| Blbmbr666 01/04/18 3:39:11 PM #3 | Rexdragon125 posted... I would just ditch the router and use the modem's built in Wi-Fi. Modem Wi-Fi is generally fine in my experience and it's one less hop for your data. It's been a bit since I set it up this way, but IIRC the WiFi from the modem was like garbo. Might give it a shot before I try anything else though. --- |
| Topic | Help me with my router/find a new one |
| Blbmbr666 01/04/18 3:31:44 PM #1 | K so I currently have a Motorola SBG6580 functioning only as a modem, and an ASUS RT-N53 as my router. With my computer plugged into the router, I get slowed by any and all WiFi usage, even after adjusting preferences and whatnot in the router itself. Internet package is 60 mbps down, 15 up iirc. So, someone that probably knows more about this than I do, can you confirm that my router/modem is old AF and needs replaced? Or do you think there is some other issue? --- |

I loved the backstory they gave on how he rose to power and became the Supreme Leader of the First Order. The difference being he was actually built up to be a huge threat, meanwhile Snoke had a little buildup and was snuffed out. --- |

| Blbmbr666 12/15/17 8:47:28 PM #9 | WizardPowers posted... If it's like a Marvel movie does that mean it's going to be really enjoyable? As in, stupid humor sprinkled throughout, multiple flat characters, a stupid cliche phrase (SPURK THAT LITES REBLEON) that somehow inspires everybody to win yay, etc. hockeybub89 posted... Because people are whiny babies who misremember the prequels because they saw them as kids and oversell how good the original trilogy was. They forget the series has always been a campy, cheesy, flawed sci-fi fantasy marketing machine. The original movies are fun and mostly good, but RotJ is still pretty meh. The prequels are 90% irredeemable trash. Star Wars has never been the pinnacle of cinema. The problem is that this movie is not campy or cheesy. It's outright trying to be funny, and can't even execute a basic plotline correctly. One of the main plots is literally 'run in a straight line'. The prequels had lots of issues, but they each have at least some point that is good or great. I can only think of one scene from TLJ that I might consider good, but it's ruined because the character making the choice is bafflingly stupid. --- |

| Blbmbr666 12/15/17 8:33:06 PM #3 | Zero_Destroyer posted... Is there a non-spoilery reason as to why the reaction is so immediately divisive? Does it not take any risks, bad pacing, etc? If not, that's fine, I'm just curious before going into it. Feels way too much like a Marvel movie, too many flat characters, a lot of buildup ruined, dumb and out of character choices, too many weak plots going on at once instead of a few strong ones. I don't think any of that spoils anything. --- |

His new pieces did nothing for me then in comparison to the older ones. TheDarkCircle posted... I do feel character development was lacking. The endlessly expanding balloon of new characters and a new "generation" of them I think is both a good and bad thing on that front. Some characters have clearly been given more of a focus than others. Yes, characters are introduced with a one-line backstory, and we're supposed to care about them? --- |

| Blbmbr666 12/15/17 7:35:42 PM #3 | TheDarkCircle posted... AotC is total garbage, both as a movie and as a SW film. TLJ is visually appealing, sure. But as a movie? Any potential, meaningful developments or character choices are taken away from us, in lieu of extremely flat characters getting screen time. Trying to remain vague for those that have not seen it yet. The soundtrack is lacking, save for pieces composed by Williams. --- |
