  1. Just think, you would have been a Braves fan if they had just won another championship or two.

  4. The thread is political because dipshit republicans make everything political nowadays, including pandemics, vaccines and late night comedy shows. They’re a sick group being fed hate for profit and they’re addicted to it.

  7. Right, because rooting for the cancer over Rush is exactly the same as getting your laughs in when an innocent person dies in a freak accident. I don't give a shit that Rush was conservative; I care that he made millions of dollars spreading nothing but hate and vile, warping the brains of others, including a decent amount of our parents. Alec seems like a real piece of work and and asshole...but neither he or the victims deserved this. Nor is the political point particularly clever. If you're going to be dark, at least be funny. Also, I don't think people are serious when they say that they wish the tree finished the job. Though, maybe some of the women around here would disagree after Abbott made them second class citizens, but I'll let them speak for themselves.

  8. I think the person primarily at fault, from a moral/ethical standpoint, is the armorer or whoever else was deemed responsible for handling weapons on the set. That's common sense, right? If you were to divorce your politics from the situation and just look at it straight, that's the common sense take. The fact that it's an actor you viscerally hate because of politics shouldn't change your estimation of what happened, but it does because you are fully deranged by cultural and political allegiances and conflict. I think it's absurd to expect an actor to understand what is going on with the guns. I wouldn't expect Joe Actor to be able to visually tell the difference between a projectile round and a blank. I wouldn't expect Denzel to be able to fly a 747. I wouldn't expect Ryan Gosling to be able to change the spark plugs in a Mustang. They're actors in a world of pretending and make-believe. It's someone else's job to the change the oil. It's someone else's job to prepare the props. In his role as actor, Baldwin did nothing wrong. Regarding his role as producer, I have no idea what the actual authority structure was and his involvement in any of those decisions. You don't, either. You have what you WANT to believe because of your aforementioned political and cultural psychosis and fury. I don't even like Baldwin. I think he's annoying personally. I would rather spend an evening drinking storm runoff out of a culvert than watch SNL. He's been in some amazing movies. He was hilarious in 30 Rock. Whatever, don't care about him. I've spent my far-too-lengthy life around guns and gun users/owners so this "I DUTIFULLY CHECK EVERY WEAPON I AM HANDED WITH A 20-POINT SAFETY INSPECTION!" is complete horseshit. I've been hunting too many times. I've been shooting too many times. I've been in the back of a buddy's truck heading out to drive the property too many times. I've been to too many competitions (obviously standards are very good at them). You idiots can sell that shit somewhere else.

  11. With a paid armorer on set I don't blame Baldwin for not checking each cartridge in a prop gun for a scene calling for blanks (if that is the case). He will carry a heavy penance for the rest of his life. That's worthy of some empathy. I admire your commitment to preventative measures. We could use more of your attitude in the vaccine threads.

  13. I'm responding to this from Onboard who relies on uninformed speculation without verifying anything to support the knee-jerk conservo response. Shame on you, my friend. From the NY Times: Some key things to know about the set: The director of photography is in charge of lighting a scene then operating the camera. She would have been in the line of fire if shooting a scene where the actor points a gun and the shot is frontal. Here's an example with conservative darling Clint Eastwood (great filmmaker): Directors don't crouch behind a DP when shooting as much as they used to because there is now a direct video feed to a monitor. However, if the scene was a rehearsal, it's quite likely the director would practice the scene standing behind the camera thus making him also in the line of fire. There's nothing in the affidavit to support the right wingers suggesting Baldwin was just screwing around with a gun. The fact that both the DP and director were hit strongly suggests they were shooting or rehearsing a scene. Further, the affidavit describes the safety procedures that the actor would be aware of were followed. Actors aren't charged with making sure the gun is safe to use as a prop. The second bullet I quote to show that the shoot was using a union crew. That indicates that the production company did not hire local crew who wouldn't know firearms protocols. Also, the actor is not making decisions about housing the crew or work hours. But he's a producer! True, but that credit is vague in movies. The person who runs the movie is the line producer. If Steven Spielberg is credited as a producer, that doesn't mean he's assembling the crew and making day to day decisions and arrangements regarding the shoot. I don't know about the legal ramifications of this. I do know that production companies usually create a separate corporation for the making of the movie. The movie usually carries insurance as well. I don't know if litigation would reach all the way to an actor in the movie. It's sad that this horrible accident where a person was killed is immediate grist for the sneering right. Not surprising but sad. A woman died. The person holding the gun is bereft and will never escape the memory of this shattering moment. Group sociopathy is a cancer in civilized society. The deceased: The bereft: What a hoot for the sickos.

  18. 1. That's patently false @shooter12. Source: am doctor 2. The notion that anybody complaining of anxiety will get referred to psych is absurd. The ratio of people who actually need a psychiatrist to the people with access to one is vanishingly small. 3. Why do those questions bother you? If they don't apply, great. If they do, they might save your life. Your entire post is a reflection of society's false belief that mental health is somehow other or less deserving than health in general. It's bullshit and it's damaging. 4. Drinking alcohol before bed causes poor quality sleep. You should not need anything to fall asleep at night. If you do, Xanax is probably not much better than the alcohol. If you're worried about seeing a doctor for anxiety, try seeing one for sleep. Sleep specialists are great at this sort of thing.

  19. yall it's pretty basic. alec baldwin spent four years making fun of trump and is a total liberal. it's not about the gun or the poor deceased woman. those are means to an end in order to politically gloat that baldwin finally has his comeuppance.

  22. i don't see what point you're making. your post, and every other argument similar to yours, is just baffling to me. if i (not an auto mechanic) take my car to the auto body repair shop and the experts there work on it, call me, and tell me it's fixed, then i take their word for it and go get my car. making sure that my car is fixed and safe to drive is their job, not mine; that's their field of expertise, not mine. if i drive my car away from the body shop and one of my tires falls off on the highway and causes a deadly wreck, whose fault is that- mine, or the expert who just gave me my car and told me that it was safe to drive?

  24. Arrived at Goldee's 7:15 this morning, 20th in line. Served at 11:20, and left the parking lot at 12:15, where the line was over 60 deep. Johnny White said they sold out yesterday at 4pm. You got to pay the price to enjoy the dance, and today was a spiritual experience for the wife, my best friend from Clemson, and another friend who just retired from TCU. Meat coma setting in, going to ...............zzzzzzzzzzzzzzz😑

  25. Atlanta, beneficiaries of a decade of ridiculously biased home plate umpiring, will never be America's team to anyone who remembers those years. More than anyone else, the Braves are responsible for grading umpires and all these new angles of the strike zone. Smoltz, Maddux and most egregiously Glavine were routinely given four inches off the plate.

  27. I mean….except for the numerous, stacked-up posts like mine above, that postulate that AB is fucked because he was both the trigger man and it all comes back to problems on the set, which look to have been really shitty, and of which he was well aware because he was the producer? You fuckers love to make up strawmen and then strut around like a badass when you knock them down. All you’ve done is make yourself look pathetic, in full view of everyone.
