This life isn't fake, Zaraki. You're just being paranoid.

I didn't just quote another post for no apparent reason, Pastor. You're just being paranoid.

Yes please? (so long as the song is done well, preferably in some form of cross-genre)

Headset or headphones + microphone?

I've been itching to post for a while but all the things I've made recently break forum rules so I can't post them here.

You can always post a link to it's location in a spoiler tag with a disclaimer.

And, in actuality, the racist police is relevant to this thread because if we actually do have a civil war in the US, that will be the cause of it. There is no greater cause of civil unrest in the American people than that of minorities being wrongfully punished and abused by the court system as a whole. Otherwise, I really don't see any chance of the US revolting against itself. That's really far fetched.

So you think removing the freedoms of everyone in the entire country only affects the minorities? (that is what is actually going to cause war if it ever happens) Racism is an extremely minor issue anymore, it just gets blown way out of proportion by the media. ("there are very few locations in the USA that have any significant form discrimination, and more often than not it is the minorities that are being intolerant of straight white people" - a quote from 5 different black guys, 3 homosexuals, and dozens of hispanics I've known over the last few years)

Indeed. That doesn't mean that they're infallible though, just because they're 'peer-reviewed', and haven't been challenged for a few years. (that is what ThePest179 has been implying consistently throughout all topics)

children and other innocent civilians are caught in the crossfire of violent shootouts ALL THE TIME.

That is not what an "accident" is. That is called collateral. Not even close to the same thing. More guns at one shootout doesn't really change the statistics for the shootouts, however the location of the shootout does significantly. (also, 4-7 total incidents is less than lightning strike kills per year)

As for true 'accidents' increasing proportionally to the number of guns in an area, I would like to see the statistics you find on that. (that means the gun discharged and injured someone, and the gun was either unintentionally fired, or was never intended to injure a person)

Concerning no-knock raids... They deserve every shot fired at them if they go to a non-criminal's house. (not saying that they should stop doing them, no-knocks are intended to keep the cops from being shot through the door because they are waiting to serve a warrant to a suspected "armed & dangerous") Who the hell would believe that someone that just broke into your house in a violent manner with no forewarning wasn't there to intend you serious harm? (or for that matter, believe them just because they yell at you that they're police) Why would you use no-knock raids as an argument concerning 'accidents' anyways? (unless the cops go to the wrong house, there is no 'accident' involved)

And finally, do you really think size and color changes of the text, or writing [what I can only assume to be] a mocking line of very poorly written gibberish, makes you look smarter? Just an FYI, it doesn't.

Star Trek Online.

I already have a pre-amp capable of Phantom Power. It's an "Audiobuddy". It gives me a very clean signal, although it is WAY too sensitive with volume control in my opinion.

Nice little preamp... What do you use currently for an analog-to-digital converter?

Well this is clearly the work of a madman as he's willfully choosing to disable antialiasing. Regardless, I would argue there's a big difference between a 10 minute film and a full length movie. The closest thing I've done to it has been The Tunnel, but the movie is going to be much more work than that was (though hopefully more productive since I won't have to wrestle with Source).

Might want to check and see if CorridorDigital can give some pointers.

Pixel Piracy. That would be interesting, and he could do a good pirate voice for it too if he wants. lol

It looks like all the trackers are dead on the Torrent.

You can always use mine, but it only goes up to episode 54. (I will be making an up-to-date on with all the episodes, as soon as Ross uploads them)

While I'm not from the USA I'm subscribed to a lot of Youtubers from there (Like the infamous Amazing Atheist), and one of the people I watch put up this video

I found that really scary.

That's been going on for decades... I'm surprised it isn't common knowledge yet.

So, any idea when this will happen BTG? I'm asking because I think this "tyrannical government takeover" narrative has been around since at least the early 90s and may even go back as far as the John Birch society in the 50s and 60s.

I regularly keep tabs on the dire predictions coming out of the far-right, but they never seem to come true. Never seems to faze these people though, they just ignore the failed prediction and move on to the next one. So what's the time frame on this, 5 years? 10 years? 25? 50?

Currently, if things stay where they are and don't change in any way, we won't have open conflict. (but it will remain tense, and there may be a few minor riots and large demonstrations) If it goes the direction the NSA is pushing for at the rate it's pushing for, I'd say no more than 10 years till Civil War 2. If it goes the way it looks like it'll go, no conflict, because a lot of the tyrannical laws and violations of the constitution are being scrutinized and removed.

Things have been changing in recent months, and the two factions in power are now fighting between the different ideals. One for the NSA surveillance-state and violating the Constitution, the other for removing the NSA.

I would expect having even more guns around would greatly increase the chances of accidents and personal conflicts with deadly outcome though.

I can't find any instance where that has happened, and can however find a very prominent one where the release of gun restrictions in Texas was heralded as "returning to the wild west", but in reality all forms of violent crime dropped dramatically.

And I think I know why you said there should be at least 3 people around.

Because if a gunman enters a room and manages to take down one of the civies with guns in the first shot/salvo, there are enough left to have time to take some form of cover and return fire. It also means there is a very high likelihood that at least one will remain uninjured to perform basic first aid, and call for help.

A pro-gun rights group in Texas re-enacted the Charlie Hebdo attacks with paintball rounds, in an attempt to see whether an “armed civilian” could have stopped the two gunmen who attacked the Paris office of the satirical magazine, killing 12. The civilian “died” in almost every scenario except immediate flight from the scene.

Of course it's hardly a scientific experiment.

Very unscientific. 2 well trained assailants with automatic weapons will always outclass one civilian with an unfamiliar weapon. The trick is whether that civilian managed to 'kill' one of the assailants or not. (your source doesn't say whether they did or not, just that one of them was hit in 2 exercises) Also, one civilian with a gun is a huge distraction, and theoretically could have save many or all of the lost lives by sacrificing his own. (this is a part of the topic that nobody seems to touch on)

The British are turning to propaganda to combat ISIS.

Banned for assuming that "overassuming" exists, and that I was doing it. (whatever it is)

Damn phone numbers can't undelete themselves!

Give me a list of any other weapon you could potentially go on a killing spree with that isn't a semi-automatic or automatic firearm.

Pipe bombs, most other explosives, (99% of which are unregulated, and I know of at least 30 different formulas that I could whip up in a couple hours from inexpensive household chemicals that could make a 250T explosion when filling the trunk of a car) rocket motors, (when properly arranged and triggered) gasoline, (as an accelerant for arson) a car... I can list quite a few, (and some very obvious ones like the car) are you sure you want me to clutter up the thread with all of them? (tip: plain old flour can be used as a low-power fuel-air explosive in a contained area, and wouldn't be difficult or significantly suspect for an employee to set up in a school cafeteria)

On the topic of avoiding the weapon, you can avoid a military grade firearm pretty easily by having 3 people in the room with handguns, all of whom return fire. Also, at very close range, (10 yards or less) 5.56mm NATO rounds fired from most rifles will do minimal damage to a person because they are moving too fast, and are too narrow. (they would have to manage to hit one of two extremely small target areas [brain stem or heart] to have any hope of killing someone, as medical support in the USA is very good)

Also, automatic weapons are already banned, and I agree that those should be reserved for trained individuals, as they currently are. (military, militia, specific law enforcement sections like SWAT, and licensed individuals) Automatic weaponry is a completely different animal than a semi-auto, as it has massively different handling requirements and performance, or you can't hit shit with it. (it also eats ammo like crazy)

And yes, poverty levels definitely have a lot to do with some violent gun crime, (it is a separate subsection of gun crimes in general, as gun crimes include illegal modifications, possession, concealment, transfer, etc.) but so far as I can find, has nothing at all to do with any mass shooting in US history. If you can find one, please let me know. (this means it was listed as part of the defined reasons someone used them, not just that the person was robbing a bank with a gun, or happened to have low/no income as a side note to their actual criminal intentions)

I'm seriously considering posting a decidedly graphic (possibly forum-rules-breaking graphic) video of a medical lecture on firearm injuries... Nah, I don't want another ban.

If I were to recommend a game with a lot of assets for THE MOVIE: Skyrim.

Skyrim has a tremendous amount of assets and the TES creation kit will allow you to make just about anything with them. Though the only thing that goes along with that is learning how to use the creation kit or at least finding someone who knows how to use it.

TES Creation Kit is remarkably easy to use and create with, the problem is that the engine is almost as buggy as the Source engine, and much harder to record frame-by-frame of a demo recording. (last I heard, it was not possible)
