Society & Culture the " MIND=BLOWN " thread

[Hard Ball Get]

The people who think the cops are all power hungry, trigger happy, racist thugs are usually the ones who want to put them in total control of firearms too. Doesn't add up to me

I find the exact opposite.

I can't think of a single occasion in my life that would have been improved by someone packing heat while it happened.

I still believe that's the biggest known star though. Or did they find something else?

So I was thinking westerlund 1-26. It seems that a few others may also be bigger according to wiki . Eg UY scuti. Its all guesswork though.

I saw another video on that star explaining that a passenger plane travelling 900km/hr would take 1100 years to circle it.

 

[Spirit Level]

Its amazing how big some of these stars get. It dwarfs Betelgeuse and that in itself is a huge star.

I reckon the plane would run out of fuel before then.

If you sit on your hand until it goes numb and then pleasure yourself it feels like it's someone else's hand. Often referred to as a ghost or stranger.

Solar power?

I don't have the patience for this, also my hand goes back to full feeling in like, under a minute, so I don't think it would be worth it.

why would you want to fap more than 3 times in a row?

As the population becomes more stupid and passive the government begins to exert more control and restrict our freedoms.

Yeah, and yet we're still a more free country than the US:

We're free? You know the government literally just started data retention yesterday right?

 

[ioppolo]

The United States would have to be the one of the most corrupt 1st world countries going around, if not the worst.

HK is a strange one, like Taiwan. They like being recognized as independents but just say they're with China to keep big brother happy.

Isn't it only China which recognises Taiwan ad it's own? As for Hong Kong it's basically like a semi autonomous region like Greenland

Gee you seem a miserable bloke. Cheer up its not all bad. This is a great country, with great systems and policies compared to majority of the world. You're like The opposite to the 'always live on the bright side of life' guy from Monty Python.

The data retention laws are absolutely ****ed.

Our country is currently using 1984 as a instruction manual

 

[Illinois Nazi]

Data retention isn't that big a deal, because in practical terms it will never work anyway.

Oh don't get me wrong I love it here, we're one of the only Western countries left with balls which isn't completely overrun with SJWs and spineless, self loathing wimps. But we aren't exactly free.

 

[Mofra]

First 20 shots fired were 19 heat shots and one body shot, all killed.

Ridiculous.

"Oh but everyone was sitting down unprepared", nah, still ridiculous.

Using a military assault rifle at close range I'm not thinking it's that extraordinary.
30-40mm groupings at 100m for first timers using an Austeyr is very common - he was using what, and AR-15 at ranges far closer? And it certainly wasn't his first time using the weapon - and there are multiple eyewitness accounts of what happened.

I know conspiracy theorists love to assume that official accounts are all completely wrong but in this case it doesn't seem that hard a scenario to believe.
