Republicans trying to ban video games is probably the best thing that could happen
Tone sincere also I would never troll or purposefully be antagonistic or anything on something serious.

every other country has mental illness, toxic masculinity and most have a rising sentiment of white fragility and the makings of racial ethnostate. only one has people turned into swiss cheese with routine, and it's the guns

I guess we'll have to see if people care as much about their guns being replaced with walkie talkies as they did about women making statements about boobs in japanese dating sims being unrealistic.

Well actually, screaming emphysema, even protected by high-temperature silica tiles like those used to shield the Space Shuttle from extreme heat on re-entry, this guy would burn up approximately 1.3 million miles before reaching the sun's corona. So, you could send me "towards," but not actually "into" our nearest star.


Thanks for making me laugh in these terrible terrible times

I don't think this is fully true, though. mass shootings may be more common here but every country with those problems has associated violence and extra-judicial killings of minority groups. look at the wave of assaults on LGBTQ people in brazil, the mass violence against indigenous women in canada, rising violence associated with groups like golden dawn or the national front, etc. that might not manifest itself as mass shootings but it shares a common origin.

I'm not saying saying don't do gun control, it's just that it's not some kind of either/or and we have to recognize until we get to the root of that problem, that kind of violence is going to find new ways of manifesting itself even with stronger gun control.

what the fuck does he think he’s accomplishing with this tweet? “well actually this is a totally reasonable and unavoidable thing to occur ”


This is his whole shtick. He's an insufferable asshole.

it's weird that neil wants to be this generation's carl sagan, given that one of sagan's best qualities was his deep understanding of the relationship between science and society and the inherently problematic nature of a purely positivistic worldview.

for someone who claims to be sagan's biggest fanboy, he certainly isn't familiar with his work

It’s a pretty enjoyable book too. You can write them off as very loose adaptations.

unfortunately i think there’s a good chance that when it comes down to it a good chunk of the gamergate crowd would prioritize their resentment of women and minorities, best served by the gop, over their video games

pretty sure there would be a big " spectacle" if one or two people managed to kill 34 people via medical errors, the flu, suicide, or car accidents in a 48 hour period

unclear to me if the sister is one of the 9 dead.


Of the 3 dead who weren't black, the shooter knew two, his sister and the boyfriend in that car.

But what I wonder is if he could have even aimed at specific targets (besides his sister/the two in the car.) From what I read, this carnage took only seconds with the weapon he used.

I can’t remember if it was an article or a podcast, but I once heard a detailed rundown of the Port Arthur Massacre (the one that spurred sweeping gun control legislation in Australia) that just went on and on in extreme detail about everything the shooter did, where he aimed, who was shot, how they reacted, etc, and concluded by saying the whole thing had taken under a minute.
