Also, thanks again to everyone for answering my TV questions. Although trivial, it's been bothering me for some time. Also, thanks for the Every Frame a Painting recommend. Will watch.

That is why I prefer anime. The cameras used to shoot DragonBall Z season 2 (nearly two decades ago) are still much more technically proficient than the cameras most western shows (yes even premium cable shows) use today.

berserker posted:So just FYI the Trump supporter at Marvel is Ike Perlmutter, known rear end in a top hat who most people at Marvel Studios hate. When Disney bought Marvel one of the big negotiations was severing all of Perlmutter's ties with Marvel Studios, so now MS and Disney get to make all of their decisions without going through him. That's why the TV shows and movies are fun and good while the comics has Captain America actually being a Nazi. I think he still controls the purse stings on the Netflix stuff which is why you have shows like Iron Fist, about a man so good at marital arts he once punched a dragon in the heart, where the actor playing the title character had no time to train before the show and most of his fights were done with less than 30 minutes of practice.

Has anyone else recently decided that becoming a first time gun owner is probably a good thing? Had that discussion yesterday with my family. I'm a self described pacifist, but I am increasingly of the opinion that self protection could become very important soon. I already have emergency supplies at home, butI figure that is kind of the next step.

Nope, like I said, that's too easy an answer, and lets creative and editorial off the hook. "The rear end in a top hat Trump guy made us do it!" He's not involved in creative decisions, Marvel is mostly a turnkey thing for him. It's on noted Baltimore broken windows policing supporting 90s Third Way rear end in a top hat Nick Spencer, and editorial for enabling him.

The frequency of suicidal ideation with a handgun going on in my head every day, I think, precludes me from owning a firearm. Might be okay to own a rifle and keep the ammo at the range though, idk, to each their own

Guns are not very good for self defense; you'll probably just end up shooting someone random or yourself by accident. Get a baseball bat or something and work out/lift if you want to be able to defend yourself, especially if you consider yourself a pacifist since you'd probably never be able to forgive yourself if you actually fired at someone.

To be honest you should be waiting a bit for a further drop in price from the OBAMMMER highs if you're interested in it. I would (and probably 95% of TFR would) suggest getting a cheap .22LR to get you used to the mechanics and feeling of gun ownership/cleaning/firing in the interim. .22LR is dirt cheap.

I really love shooting and have the money but I don't really feel like upping my chances of accidentally dying to a self-inflicted gunshot wound by any significant amount so I don't own any guns.

I wonder if these statistics take into account responsible owners who follow safe practices vs irresponsible ones who don't unload or lock up their guns or ever engage the safety. I don't think a gun is likely to actually make you more safe the vast majority of the time, but if you have due diligence with proper safety precautions I don't think it's likely to make you less safe either. And that includes something like, if I find out my son has depression, immediately selling my guns.

I already have emergency supplies at home, butI figure that is kind of the next step. I got really worried about government gestapo forces marching in lockstep to arrest my South American neighbors and looked into buying a gun about a month back, something that can actually penetrate armor. gently caress they're expensive. I think I'll put it off until the crackdown has actually begun and gun prices have spiked even further. As a super white dude, I won't be in the first wave of government sanctioned killings, so it's not an immediate need for me! Then I thought about being willing to kill for my "values" but not spend that much money and got sad.

BarbarianElephant posted:I'm not sure if Putin is Machiavelli's Prince, or if he just has a lot of schemes going and sometimes gets lucky. This is kind of the big question, because Russia has proven its ability to make cunning moves, but at the same time, it can't deal with lots of very obvious problems. I am not a Russia expert, but just from looking at simple statistics, Russia has a lot of problems. Its GDP isn't very high, with most estimates putting it below Brazil and at around the level of Australia or South Korea. (Its higher going by PPP GDP). Its GDP per capita, either by raw or PPP, is also pretty low. Like, not just low compared to the developed world, but low compared to Eastern Europe or Latin America. Its economic growth is also small, especially compared to a lot of the countries of Eastern Europe, who are rapidly developing. There are obviously a lot more objective and subjective measures of national well being than GDP, (like life expectancy, which Russia is also low on). But in general, Russia looks like a developing country that has some roadblocks. The thing is, unlike Brazil, they have a lot of nukes and a lot of legacy science and technology. Don't assume that Putin is a rational actor just because he is smart. In some ways, I think Putin (and a lot of the Russian command), are the type of people who "would get dizzy walking in a straight line". I think they just like international intrigue rather than spending their time working on boring stuff like improving health care, building infrastructure, etc.

I find it interesting how many of you think that owning a gun will make me less safe. I already have blunt self defense weapons, but where I live (NotPortland-Oregon) literally everyone has a gun, except for the exceedingly liberal types, and even they often own guns as well. In this kind of environment I really don't want to be the only one who can't defend myself. To you goons who are afraid of self harm, I hadn't really ever considered that. Stay strong.
