The UK has very strict gun control and London is the stabbing capital of the world. Are you saying you would rather be stabbed than shot? Or are you saying you would rather defend yourself and your family with a knife than a gun?
This completely ignores almost everything I wrote and redirects it to I'd a false dichotomy / invalid argument, but I'll discuss it anyway.
My point was never that guns are responsible for crime or (as you seem to think) I have to choose between knives and guns. My point was that our rampant gun crime is because we have so many, any idiot can get them, we have very few controls over them, and people justify having them for stupid reasons.
Also, to your (fallacious) point, the reality is that a gang of trained killers with knives are capable of doing way less damage than a single teenager walking into a school with with a gun. -
2016-01-23 at 4:30 PM UTC in How would you fare in a survival scenario?
It all depends on the scenario.
Whats happening/happened. (Too what scale/degree)
What you have on you, or can get within the next 15mins
Your location. (weather/temperature norms)
Your familiarization or knowledge of your location.
If you have a family vs. Being by yourself.
Defense & security measures. (OPSEC)
Now in the scenario you've given, or should I say, happening…
If I was from one of those NJ areas, with the knowledge I possess, I would stay.
Why?
I know I'd be fine. Plus, you said WHOLE TOWNS were evacuated. That is just WAY TOO MUCH free shit for me to just let go.
Probably not a bad idea. I would probably hang back in that kind of scenario as well. I have enough stuff to last me.
I mean honestly the people who died were probably homeless, mentally ill, or very underprepared.
I think in most scenarios I'd probably stay put. I'd be happy to bug in and deal with it. So long as I didn't get some kind of crazy disease or have some kind of medical thing that requires hosptial, I'd be okay. -

Soylent Green… this is actually going to happen soon in real life.
That's actually not too far-fetched. -
2016-01-23 at 2:54 PM UTC in How would you fare in a survival scenario?
I didn't read the thread but I'd get my murder on as long as I can. I know a couple of hunters I'd try to kill first to get their weapons. Poison them with drugs if necassery. I'd probably just kill myself to be honest, though.
Survival score - 0.5 - 10 -
2016-01-23 at 2:38 PM UTC in How would you fare in a survival scenario?Not sure if you guys know, but there was a major blizzard that just hit the North East. Apparently it knocked over 100,000 people off the power grid, towns in New Jersey got evacuated, eight states declared a state of emergency, and somewhere in the neighborhood of 8 people died. It kind of makes you wonder, if you didn't have a whole lot of warning beforehand and something happened where you couldn't just go to the store to buy what you need, how would you do? Would you be one of the people who didn't make it? I don't consider myself a "survivalist" nutjob or anything like that, but even FEMA suggests you have week's worth of supplies in your house in case something happens.
Scenario
I'm assuming we're talking about some kind of storm, but feel free to make up more interesting scenarios - like a really bad storm, insurrection, the collapse of the dollar or something.
Living Conditions
I think my family and I would do pretty well. I only live with one other person, who happens to be a registered nurse who doesn't eat very much. We live out in the woods, and the nearest town is fifteen minutes by car. If there was some kind of awful snowstorm, there's no way you'd be able to get back where we live - no way in and no way out.
I am in good health. I do at least one hundred push-ups a day just to make sure that I don't get too soft. I don't drink alcohol, do drugs, smoke, drink coffee, or have any other kind of habit that leads to a physical dependency (yes, you can go through caffiene withdrawal).
Supplies (for two people)
I always have at least one month's supply of water in my house.This includes drinking water and water for hygiene.
I have four days of dehydrated food.
3 first aid kits
Tons of cold weather gear, including air operated warming devices (these things work wonders) and space blankets
Five sealed containers of Soap and Shampoo just for this occasion
Special Skills
Part of being a mountaineer is that I have extensive experience hunting, fishing, and trapping. In fact, I just got a brand new trap in the mail a few days ago (it's beautiful). I can easily shoot rabbits out of my yard or fend for other animals if need be.
I have extensive combat military training in case I needed to defend myself or my family.
I have an education in psychology and am able to detect signs of cabin fever, as well as be make sure my family and I don't go crazy or get too angry with each other.
Defense
I have enough firearms and ammunition to defend myself and my family, as well as go hunting.
Psychological Needs
I have a ton of books, candles, and flashlights. My family and I are very big readers and we have so many books that we'd never run out of stuff to read.
So let's see how you niggasinspace guys stack up.

Did you add that Disney gif for comedic purposes or is that an Arnox original?
No, that was actually Are-Cox. In his emo, cringy post he felt somehow obligated to put up some totally irrelevant gif just to make sure we understood how fucking weird he is.
I just don't get it. This whole thing is so cringy. It's like watching a little mentally retarded kid at a talent show. I'm embarrassed for the guy, but he's so autistic and out of touch with people he doesn't realize what a joke he's making of himself.
I mean, seriously, how many times in the span of a few days is he going to present this sob story narrative that he's the underappreciated great hero of some 10+ year old dead webforum for junkies, pedos and misfits? It's not like he's even good at what he was trying to do.
And then there's the whole quasi-mormon thing where he'll claim to believe "Everything in Mormonism" yet simultaneously trying to host a website that contradicts literally everything in his scriptures.
So much cringe and cognitive dissonance from one person at one time is just like....just wow dude. -

[SIZE=16px]This is what -Spectral does in his free time.
You piss on it, to keep it wet.[/SIZE]
I dont even know how to respond to that -
2016-01-23 at 12:43 AM UTC in Sorry if anyone needed me...Also this is now a -Spectral thread because, in spite of his flaws, he's actually cooler than Are-cox.

Also Spectral.
>Microsoft products
>Flawless
Pick one.
Hey I'm setting up my computer lab in my house.
I might make a new thread and see if we can all work together to make it super secure.
Does that sound 2gay4u or would you want to contribue?
Obviously we need -Spetral's input -

>3Ghz in the 90's
>Windows XP
Lol.
Whatever kid, I hacked the Gibson with 38 terrabytes of DDos attacks while you were falling off the turnip truck yesterday. With my super secure (not updated) Windows XP Home Edition, I've been known to hack Anonymous over 9000 behind 7 proxies.

2016-01-22 at 11:23 PM UTC in Sorry if anyone needed me...
My machine is way old, but it's powerful enough for everything I need. I have a dual-core 3GHz Intel in it, which I've been running since the '90's. Match that with the flawless operation of WinXP SP3 and a manually-configured firewall behind a good router, and that's all anyone really needs.
Wow -Spectral you're an opsec genius.

2016-01-22 at 2:47 PM UTC in Dear AmericaThese arguments always wind up being the exact same thing, so I really considered not posting in this thread. This is not going to win me any friends but whatever...
The reality is that the US has more gun crime than any other First World western nation, and to chalk that up to anything other than the fact that we have more guns wtih less gun control in this country than any other developed western nation is fucking retarded. We literally have a gun for every man, woman, and child here. I have five guns in my house right now (many of which are milspec "assault weapons") and I'm a poor mountaineer. You can buy an AK for two weeks wages on minimum wage here and, in many cases, you wouldn't even need a background check. When background checks are conducted, they aren't using updated databases and it's very sketchy how well they even work. We don't even have universal background checks, so people easily transfer guns across state borders since different states have different laws.
At the end of the day, you guys have to make a choice. You cannot sit here on this forum and talk about "how stupid the average person is" yet simultaneously argue "almost everyone in the US having access to guns is not the reason gun crime happens." The average person is too goddamn irresponsible to even drive a car safely, and yet you want them to preserve their "right' to be able to buy any long-gun they can afford as soon as they turn 18 - with no training, military experience, or even a fucking safety class? No shit mass shootings and murders happen. You live in a consumerist society of entitled children. Our newspapers are written on a fifth grade reading level and "big bang theory" or "The Bachelorette" constitutes mainstream entertainment. The people here are stupid.
The second biggest lobbyist group in the US is the NRA. So they have literally billions of dollars and tons of congressmen at their disposal to make Americans buy more guns or believe anything other than mass gun ownership is the problem. Yet people want to act like guns being a god-given right is just a fact of history and rely on poor understandings of the constitution, like misquoting "shall not be infringed" (That originally meant a militia, not a handgun or long rifle). Wake up and realize that the NRA and other groups successfully launched campaigns to get people to believe that shit. If this was such an honest and genuine assessment of the scenario, these same groups wouldn't be blocking independent groups from publishing honest research on gun crime.
Americans have dumb, machismo commitments to the idea that preserving gun rights preserves their freedoms. Meanwhile, most of us don't even have fucking health insurance, student loan debt surpassed credit card debt like three years ago and tuition is still going up (over $1,200 per 3 credit class at a state school here), our pornography laws are backwards, you can be fired from your job in some states for almost any reason, our infant mortality rate is the highest in the developed world, wages are stagnant (I have 3 degrees and clean toilets for a living, everyone else working with me has advanced degrees in biology, nuclear engineering, math, etc. Believing we just "don't know how to find work" is a sign that you're old, out of touch, or come from so much privilege you don't recognize it how hard it is to make money when you have none.), the president literally kills American citizens with drone strikes (3 of which were on accident) and under NDAA you can be arrested and imprisoned indefinitely without trial.
Yet everyone wants to sit here and act like the fact that we've got a fuck ton of glorified toys we'll never use makes us free. If people consistently bringing guns into public places and shooting at random (including elementary schools) doesn't change anybody's mind, then nothing else will. Go ahead and blame "niggers" or "liberals" or the media or whatever else you want - but we've definitely got a gun problem and it's time we admit it. -
2016-01-22 at 2:18 PM UTC in Groundhog Recipe - Attn: Bill Krozby / Leader of Fucboi Army / Arch Guardian of the SlampigsDid you guys edit my post so that Fucboi was spelled with one c? I didn't know mods could do that.
Also thanks for the recipe Bill Krozby.
More recipes people. -
2016-01-22 at 2:15 PM UTC in I'm so fucking mad right now.
We don't really reason independently except when taking social isolation to an extreme. What I mean by that is most of normal human reasoning is done for the sake of convincing someone else of something, not for coming to true conclusions. But that's OK, if we all do this it at least approximates a marketplace of ideas. This is why we have things like anchoring biases, all of our tendencies to deviate from formal reasoning. We're "designed"(evolved) to think about things as groups, to take positions and hang on to them well after we should change our mind, because it empirically turns out "clash of ideals" is a better survival paradigm than Cartesian "think about things carefully while sitting by a fire not doing much else". It's kinda fascinating really, we've evolved traits that transcend genes, like we have group traits, species level behaviours now. In a meaningful way there exist "organisms" or organic self-sustaining systems that are composed of multiple human consciousnesses.
Which is awesome until we destroy the environment / die in nuclear war because people are busy letting Bill O'Rielly interpret news for them. -

There… was no chicken in that video….
Bill Krozby is going to be pissed when he sees I talked about him in depth in two threads.
