  1. Zoe sighting, I believe.
  2. Also, you tend to see assistants doing more than the HC, and Meske has spent a good while as an assistant.
  3. The GVA uses less discerning metrics. And doesn't make any conclusions or analysis. That's on CNN.
  4. No, what I said was, there's no consensus on what constitutes a "mass shooting" or even use of that term among reporters. Some include gang violence, some don't, some require 4+ victims, some only 3+. That site I linked uses the definition I mentioned, and this governmental report synthesizes that data as follows: The research examined an era of marked increase in the number and deadly effect of mass shootings in the United States. To summarize that trend: The project spanned mass shootings over more than 50 years, yet 20% of the 167 mass shootings in that period occurred in the last five years of the study period. More than half occurred after 2000, of which 33% occurred after 2010. The years with the highest number of mass shootings were 2018, with nine, and 1999 and 2017, each with seven. Sixteen of the 20 deadliest mass shootings in modern history (i.e., from 1966 through 2019), occurred between 1999 and 2019, and eight of those sixteen occurred between 2014 and 2019. The death toll has risen sharply, particularly in the last decade. In the 1970s, mass shootings claimed an average of eight lives per year. From 2010 to 2019, the end of the study period, the average was up to 51 deaths per year.
  5. He's got some health issues, IIRC, that aren't being helped by the Big Beautiful Buttfucking and is a very angry person, generally.
  6. No you keep changing your position when people call you out. Using the definition that I provided, which excludes gang violence and similar criminal activity to focus on public, single shooter, multiple victim incidents. Are these more frequent in the last 10, 20, or 50 years?
  7. I read this: "the constant bed wetting over mass shootings becoming more common can stop." The type of mass shooting where a single gunman with no other criminal objective shoots and injures/kills multiple civilians has become more common. Do you deny this?
  8. I'm so glad we never wear the tank tops with sleeves. That's goofy and contrived. Also very gruntled that we've had multiple gals take over games.
  9. Whether they think lefties are pussies or whatever is pretty irrelevant. The pretty obvious conclusion is that they don't believe their own bullshit about left-wing violence.
  10. Quite the departure from what you said a few minutes ago: "This has been beaten to death. Yes, every shooting of multiple people is included in the largely discussed mass shooting statistics. And yes the majority of mass shooting events involve gang violence "
  11. There's no consensus on what constitutes a mass shooting, the FBI doesn't track it. You and the deceased Kirk just like to include gang violence because it implicates brown poor people and dilutes the number of armed lunatics murdering innocents.
  12. According to whom? Depends on who's counting. https://www.congress.gov/crs-product/R48276
  13. That looks a hell of a lot like a pellet gun.
  14. That guy is an absolute syphilitic cunt. The "Bo" is the first indicator.
  15. You twisted motherfucker. “Why do you look at the speck of sawdust in your brother’s eye and pay no attention to the plank in your own eye? 4 How can you say to your brother, ‘Let me take the speck out of your eye,’ when all the time there is a plank in your own eye? 5 You hypocrite, first take the plank out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to remove the speck from your brother’s eye.
  16. To the contrary, we often wish for the natural demise of Donald Trump, but rarely advocate his violent death.
  17. Nah, he's a well-known true-believer. First off, I think the odds that the shooter is a standard "librul" are about zero. It's gonna be someone deranged, first off, like the guy in Minnesota. And I think it's just as likely some kind of libertarian or Trump supporter aggro'ed about Epstein or something. It is Utah, after all.

  19. And don't even try to compare Reagan to Trump as far as norms go. Come the fuck on indeed.
  20. Regardless, my point was not to defend Reagan, but to point out that Reagan's following was not cultlike as is Trump's. And specifically that there are a lot of Trump voters that specifically disclaim being Republican and probably never voted, if at all, Republican. And, as you often note, most of these people feel betrayed by #bothsides and for some goddamn reason think Trump is really any different from the money interests that fucked them over.
  21. I know he won't like it, and probably neither will you, but the judiciary in the form of the lower courts is about the only thing opposing and restraining Trump in any way these days.
  22. Yeah was gonna say this. And Mazda hypes their engine tech so much, you'd think going against trend with that displacement and configuration it would be more of a fire breather. And I was really focused more on the lo-po variant than the hi-po. You can allegedly use regular in the lo-po. Not sure I'd chance it. Also saw some things like timing chain at rear of block and some other curious choices that can make it a maintenance hassle.
  23. Reminds me of an experience I had with a stonk (nasdaq, so maybe not really a stonk) some years ago. Cousin tipped me off on said stonk on the eve of FDA approval for a drug that was effective at dosing iron to chronic kidney disease patients through dialysate. Seemed like a good drug within that sphere, with a need. And potentially elsewhere, as iron is notoriously difficult to achieve uptake in anemia and similar patients. So, I made a tidy sum on approval, but held back a few hundred shares to see where it went. Several analysts following the stock long and short, mostly analyzing efficacy and management, cash burn rate etc. Sales were not forthcoming. The analysts pontificated on why. The company tried to get CMS to approve it and put it in the "dialysis bundle," but failed. For all of this, none of the fucking analysts pointed out and I finally stumbled on it myself: 95% of dialysis patients in the United States are on Medicare. CKD/ESRD and ALS qualify you for Medicare regardless of your age. So, 95% plus of dialysates are purchased/paid for/approved by Medicare. If you don't get it in the bundle, it's never going to sell. Apparently, AMGEN getting EPO into the dialysis bundle was what kicked off their success. The stock has now been delisted. I lost a lot of faith in the "price discovery efficiency" of the stock market based on this. Other than general trends via funds, it's fucking gambling and no one but insiders know more than anyone else.
