I’m shocked there weren’t more stories about them being dropped and broken.

Lol, you're not breaking one of those bad boys. Theyre breaking whatever they fall on.

My Trinitron wasn't actually that bad. A guy I went to LANparties with had a 21" Viewsonic and the gun on that thing was 2 feet long I swear

It is very on point to for the pillowman to have his phone seized at a Hardee's

Would only be more on point for Tromp to be arrested in a McDonald's drive thru

In Fionanews, the majority of Central Nova Scotia is still without power (90k customers), with about 30% restored.

Burst fire is not worth enlisting.

Exactly. The giggleswitch is not worth it



Ok it's worth it sometimes nothing made me giggle like a 12 year old than going rock'n'roll magdumping a C7 other than hip-firing a belt of 7.62 out of the C6.

Instructors called it "getting the Rambo out".

The Great Lakes. They're boring but they're safe, and their extreme weather events generally rack up single digit body counts.

Can confirm. It's cold but the homes are built and insulated for it. Same with summer heat, and basements help. Grid is largely nuclear and hydroelectric so plenty of baseload as well

Deaths are usually from some dickhead in a pickup thinking he can drive 100km/h in 2 feet of snow.

That fencing response is full on UFC head-kick knock-out level, holy gently caress

I got concussed a few years back playing rugby, head to head contact straight to my jaw. One of those hits you feel your entire jaw crunching shut on

Headaches, short term memory loss, balance and concentration issues. Told my doctor that I didn't rightfully know how many concussions I've had, between contact sports and artillery about 5-6? I've never had a healthcare provider tell me something more forcefully than that doctor told me to stop playing contact sports immediately and indefinitely


When I quit the rugby team one of the young 20yo kids told me "it's just a conky bro, I've had 4". Enjoy your liquid brain bro

Rugby likes to think of itself as the gentleman's game (or more precisely, "a thugs game played by gentleman, while soccer is a gentleman's game played by thugs") but the culture is toxic as gently caress. Not just around injuries but that's a thing too.

One of the guys from my last team died at a team party because he fell, hit his head, and they carried him upstairs to "sleep it off." I learned about this because an email blast went out asking anyone associated with the team to skip the funeral because there were some "hard feelings" with the family. Huh no poo poo.


I watched a guy take a knee to the head during a scrum, take 3 steps and fall face first onto the pitch. Full cardiac arrest. Members of the opposing team who were firefighters did CPR until the ambulance (who were at the pitch grounds) managed to bring him back. loving terrifying.

I also had a coach who told me that my job as a front-line was to break the other guy's knees. My guy I play Senior Seconds whaleshit rugby, I pay to play this game not the other way around.
