Yeah, as soon as I read "every time someone hits the bridge they have to stop the railway line for testing" I thought "why don't they put a big gently caress-off solid gantry six feet in front of and six inches lower than the bridge, so that the bridge is safe and we have another delicious can-opener to produce thread content?

I'm sure that's all true, but you could literally replace "fighting game playerbases" in that sentence with any other group of people and it would still be true.

Fighting game playerbases have some seriously hosed up people in them. There was a scandal a few years back where a player was banned form most tournaments for beating his girlfriend. And one infamous instance had a guy let a Smash player crash at his place and he caught the dude masturbating into the sleeping bag he lent him.

I thought that was one where the Smash player graciously crashing at a guy's house literally poo poo the bed.

It's literally illegal to shoot a home intruder here and that's good. Number of people who get murdered and/or raped in their beds by burglars? Zero One.

Either your houses are poo poo or there's something inherently wrong with your society that guns simply will not fix. HTH.

People paying American dollars to let other people know they didn't agree with someone's position on something is the lifeblood of these forums.
My state hosted the In Cold Blood re-enactment society about 10 years back, and while I keep my shootbangs in a safe, I completely understand people who keep a revolver and a speedloader in their nightstand or whatever.

It's nice to hear that your tiny population doesn't produce rapists or murderers. A large population will produce those, no matter how prosperous the population is.

I remember there was some Smash player who did something gross while staying over at someone else's place. I also recall reading about someone (not smash player) who stayed at a goon's house and just kinda never left. Eventually she died and when they cleaned out her bed or sleeping area there was literally urine or poo poo stains in the bed.

I don't live in a bad area, but that doesn't mean crime hasn't existed. People have had their cars and homes broken into, and shortly after my grandparents died someone jacked their car right out of our driveway in the middle of the night.

I haven't had anyone actually break into my house, but I've had people skulking around my backyard; earlier this year, our neighbor across the street ran out and told us that he just saw someone come sprinting out of our yard. We suspect that he was casing us to figure out a good way to break in.

Oh crime is absolutely a thing. My point is, not nearly as many people get raped/murdered in their sleep by an intruder as the average gun totin' American seems to believe.

Someone skulking around your yard? It's happened to nearly every one of us I wager (I can think of three instances in my family's home). Someone breaking in and forcing themselves into your sweet goony buttchecks? Gotta remember to keep the paranoia proportionate to the real, rather than preceived, risk

Like these horrible MURDERCRIMES where guns save the day or could have saved the day are not even 1/50th as frequent as their brain/the internet box/other paranoid weirdos has led them to believe

E: it's literally a non-existent threat for most people, it's just that stats are hard and guns make you feel like a cool rogue maverick dying to kill some rapists or whatever

EE: ok my b i'm done!
