I honestly didn't even know handloading was a thing before New Vegas. Seems like a great way for rednecks to ruin their guns/fingats.

It can be, but it's also a big money-saver as the brass casing itself is one of the most expensive parts and is reusable. Also plenty of cartridges are largely expensive due to not presently being mass-produced. The savings of reusing brass are even greater in those cases.

Also some people get into reloading/handloading because they're developing new cartridges; basically every "magnum" round was the result of Elmer Keith tinkering with handloads, and then there's gimmicks like the Eargesplitten Loudenboomer

I usually don't care about accuracy in portrayal of guns, but come on. How is that gun even supposed to work?

That was pretty striking to me too. I'm convinced that I could describe a gun over the phone to someone that's never seen one and the result would be a more recognizable firearm than whatever the gently caress that poo poo's supposed to be.

The cartoon appears to say if anybody but Warren is elected president, the hogs on Wall St. will continue their crooked ways unimpeded.


That part is at least 100% accurate. I wouldn't hold my breath on a Warren or Sanders administration actually sending the bastards to PMITA prisons or anything. Maybe a few of the most egregious will get a couple months in a Fed Med, but even a Warren or Sanders presidency isn't the French Revolution those rich fucks so thoroughly deserve.

I'm not convinced that cartoon isn't actually complaining about vegetarians or some recent health pronouncement by some official of some sort (Well, "recent" as in 14 days old, since it's a Tinsley). I refuse to accept a world wherein he'd actually think good nutrition wasn't a loathsome plot by liberals.

There was in fact a recent study about "plant-based diets" being healthier. Tinsley'd probably be all for it if he realized booze was made from plants.

Is it actually referred to as multi-cultism in Britain and not multiculturalism or is this a term that signifies bad opinions ahead, like statist?

I did once hear a racist call it 'the multicult' but I know that was meant to be derogatory. Multicultism is just different enough that I'm not sure.

Dunno about the UK specifically, but "multikulti" in German gets used to refer to multiculturalism and there are other EU countries that have basically loan-word'd it since it comes up a lot. Usually people talking about it are Euroskeptics but I don't know that it puts them in the same bin as folks talking about "statists" in the US.

You will never tell a joke involving murder to the direct victim of murder.

Also of note, the thing with being murdered is you were going to die eventually anyway. I'm not remotely arguing it's not wrong to kill someone here, but death was going to be a thing that happened to them at some point, from one cause or another. That they would eventually die was guaranteed, and it is still wrong to cause that death prematurely/extrajudicially/etc, but not everyone necessarily gets raped. Nonconsensual sex is not a guaranteed event that will occur in one's life, as opposed to death, which is in fact guaranteed and something one would have to deal with eventually whether as a result of being a victim of a crime or not.

Pretty much EVERYONE was talking about the OJ trial back in '94. Every major trial is nothing compared to that. Casey Anthony, Amanda Knox, and George Zimmerman have nothing on that. I remember as a kid writing in my daily journal about OJ getting acquitted. That was mainly because The Naked Gun was one of my favorite movies and how could ol' Nordberg be such an evil man :(

It's true. They paused school to turn on the TVs for the OJ verdict when it was actually delivered. We didn't do that for any other event while I was in school the entire time. I started after Challenger and graduated before 9/11; the OJ verdict was the only school-stoppage-worthy event in that entire timeframe. Eric Robert Rudolph bombing the Olympics probably would've qualified (especially since that happened in GA and was thus local) except that was during summer and school was out.
