Games / Re: Sonic Forces released. Unsurpisingly bad.

« on: November 08, 2017, 07:56:03 PM »

Sonic's problem is that it changes too quickly and it takes itself too seriously. I mean, if you look at the past several games, they've gone through about ten different main game  mechanics without sticking to one. That, and this game in particular is playing itself off as one of the most gripping tales to ever be told. The line "I'm an optimist, but I'm also a realist; Sonic is gone for good." is a line that actually exists and is real. It's a Sonic game. The story is that he slams into robots and saves enslaved creatures. That, and he goes fast. The end.

let's not kid ourselves here, the only reason Donald Annoying Orange won the election is that Hillary was a spawn of Satan come to destroy the planet Earth

if it were anyone else, there'd be a Dem cumming in his pants in the oval office right now

I believe i read that the reason it's so high is because of mandatory military service, and servicemen take their guns home with them?

If that's the sole reason, then it isn't that different from the US. In times of war, there is mandatory military service of sorts. Reasonably, that'd mean that the best idea in terms of gun ownership would be to make it optional, but have mandatory gun training classes and concealed carry permits. It'd be like what my high school did with regards to CPR and first aid.

If mandatory gun ownership were a thing, I think mandatory firearms training would be a given.

I know there's a country in Europe that does this, and they've had no events of this caliber (pun intended) to speak of. That's why I bring it up.

What about compulsory firearm education?
I got my firearm safety certificate through a highschool class

that'd be the more moderate version of what I'm advocating

totally a good idea

I'd like to ask you what your stance is on legalizing silencers
I know it would've made the Las Vegas shooter easier to locate because people wouldn't be having their ears blown out, but I'm not sure this shooting would have been stopped by that neighbor if this shooter had a silencer, given the different environments these took place in

the more these things happen the more appealing compulsory firearm ownership and concealed carry licenses look, though I realize that's an extreme

Off Topic / is it a good idea to take two college-level math courses at the same time

« on: November 08, 2017, 02:39:57 AM »

Right now, I'm scheduling courses for next semester, and since I'm switching from mechanical engineering to electrical engineering, I have a pretty open schedule next year. I was hoping to fill that with requirements for my music composition major, but there seems to be only one course open that I can take, so I've been considering taking the remaining two math courses required by my new major at the same time. For the curious, I'm going to probably talk with the teacher of one of the courses tomorrow. If I don't take the two math courses at the same time, then I'll be underloading credit for next semester, which is not a good idea in a double major.

The two courses are Differential Equations (course description: "Basic methods of solving ordinary differential equations. Systems of linear differential equations, Laplace transform, applications and selected topics.") and Linear Algebra (course description: "Linear equations, matrices, vector spaces, linear transformations, determinants, eigenvalues."). Typically, math courses here have the heaviest load out of any other course, but the other courses I'm taking next semester (minus one maybe) I'm guaranteed are going to be a cakewalk.

I'm going to ask teachers about it, but I wanted to get the opinions of people who might've actually taken courses like this and know what to expect. I don't know if I'm holding the BLF to a standard too high in thinking this, but it can't hurt to ask.
