It's a good place to start. Bump stocks can really up the killing power of rifles


How so?


A bump stock is good for spraying a lot of bullets when you don't care about accuracy, and not much else. There's no reason to want to do that other than indiscriminate mass murder.

Voter ID laws are used to suppress low income voters, and have been proven to do so.

How about if IDs were provided free of charge with proof of citizenship?

Delays aren't exactly something specific to Kickstarter. There's an internal planned release date, which is typically overshot by a year or two, and an announced release date which is only made public when the game is almost done. With a Kickstarter, the release date you're getting is what would normally be the internal one, not the announced one.

That's not how it works. It's not a magic spell, that's going to solve all your problems. If you go into a relationship without having your shit together and expecting to be "healed", it's going to be a disaster.

Don't listen to this guy. A relationship can definitely lift your spirits and get you to live life to the fullest instead of moping in your room, feeling hopeless every day.


If you're depressed and enter a relationship to cope, if it ends (which if you're clingy and codependent, not contributing anything to the relationship, it will), the anxiety will push you over the edge. This is the classic road from regular depression to suicidal depression.

The national minimum wage has increased about $2 since I was a kid. I believe my first job was at $5.25 an hour or so. However, inflation has increased at a much faster rate. $5 used to buy 5 Arby's sandwiches, now it might buy 2.

Ok

WoW's leveling speed was getting completely obnoxious. You think gaining a level every 10 minutes on average and outleveling a zone before finishing half its quests was a good thing? If anything, it's still too fast. 1-60 used to be roughly 350-400 hours, post-nerf it still takes a tenth of that time to get to 110.

I'm pretty sure that any federal employee that still has to work during a shutdown will receive back pay after everything is back to normal. It's only the ones that are furloughed that may not be paid after a budget is passed unless explicitly authorized.

Huh... If it doesn't get authorized, that sucks.

They got back pay the last time it happened in 2013, so they very well could this time as well.


There wasn't a Republican majority in 2013. If you honestly believe the GOP will authorize back pay for mere plebeians, you're delusional.

That aspect of it is a trap and you know it. The middle class cuts expire in a few years, in the long run it's a significant tax hike on the lower and middle class. The timing is cleverly set up so they don't take the blame for it from the uninformed masses.

If Trump goes through with his North Korea posturing, he will single-handedly end human civilization. China has stated that if NK is the aggressor, they won't support a war, but they will defend NK if the US is the aggressor. This would result in a global nuclear war.


We're not afraid of China, either. Do they think that just because they've beaten us in trade deals in the past that it means they can beat us in a war? I'd absolutely love to see them try.


Do you understand how nuclear war works? There is no winner, it's just mutually assured destruction. It's less a war in the traditional sense and more of an apocalypse scenario.
