i doubt it's going to be that catastrophic but i guess we'll just have to see how this all plays out. there are obviously short-term market effects that are going to happen since now the UK is a higher-risk investment, but it remains to be seen how much will actually change

i think the correct solution to this problem is improved security in public establishments. not stricter law enforemcent, but security guards, bouncers ect. trained individuals who can operate a firearm efficiently with good judgement, resulting in more shootings being stopped before they happen

i do agree with this though. you can't rely on individuals being able to protect themselves even if they legally can. the ideal scenario would be one where people can be protected by trained individuals in public places so they don't have to worry about having to take matters into their own hands

a source*. the quran calls for violence.

  so he pledged allegiance to CIA to terrorize people. so.. he's a terrorist. what makes him any different? terrorism is terrorism. i don't care what the reasoning behind it is and what label they carry.

honestly if you want potential terrorists living near you why don't you just go to the middle east yourself.

ike was mostly addressing the implication that had been made that islam is the primary relevant factor for all or most gun violence:

And thus the Democrats continue to refuse to acknowledge the source of the problem: Radical Islam. Guns did not kill those people in Pulse. A radical Muslim did.

which is a pretty silly idea for reasons that i think should be obvious, and it's so silly that i'm inclined to believe that it was more so a misunderstanding than anything else.

but ya i think the focus is more so on the fact that the shooter was able to carry out the attack anyway. his motivations aren't necessarily relevant (edit: i mean in the context of this kind of legislation, his motivations matter and they're worth talking about, it's just not useful for the purpose) because his actions are what people care about. islam or not, the pulse shooting did show that things like that can happen (not that we didn't all know it), and some people just see tighter gun control as a possible solution, and one that (if it worked) would affect more than just gun-related crimes motivated by radical islam, which i'd wager is probably the majority

he's not wrong. people shouldn't have to carry a gun, unfortunately we live in a world where sometimes other people have malintent and law enforcement can't always be close enough to help. everyone deserves protection, and if people want to take their safety into their own hands, they should ideally be able to do so with appropriate training and screening

i guess i feel about the same way about this as i feel about the senate judiciary committee right now

i get it but i think there's a line where weaponizing inaction becomes a bit excessive. i don't think a sit-in is even going to accomplish much considering how close we are to election

please do, It seems it's happening to the majority of people with this card but there's a chance of it still now happening to you.

so far so good on my end. most intensive thing i've played for an extended period so far is overwatch and i've had no problems, driver version 368.39. i'll see if problems develop after using the card a bit longer, but it's lookin good for the time being

i don't know a lot about uk politics, but i feel like it's unlikely that the vote would be to leave. people tend to prefer potentially dangerous inaction over potentially dangerous action

is there a basic outline of pros and cons for the decisions? or is it just politically complex

yeah i'd like to hear some thoughts from people that know more about it/have stronger opinions on the matter

i still dont understand why you guys dont loving wait a month or two to buy these cards so you dont have to deal with this stuff

cus i was building a new pc now and wanted to transition into it before starting next semester, amongst other factors unique to my own situation that made it impractical for me to wait

Having the card and waiting a month or waiting a month and having the card

Whats the difference?

also this, feels much better to already have it if it's something that can be fixed by software. but ya i would tend to agree with you that it's better to wait and see if something new is actually stuff before buying it, this was just one of those times where i felt better about not waiting

Off Topic / Re: what characteristics would you classify as a "furry"

« on: June 22, 2016, 07:28:19 AM »

liking anthropomorphic animals enough to call yourself a furry. fursuits and stuff like that are all secondary to that i think, can't have that unless you have the first thing, and since most furries i know of would probably never wear a fursuit or go to a furcon, i would say that might be too specific

the true test is to throw you into second life and see if you float
