You know what makes a Gunniter cry? by ikkasikkain guns

[–]chadsten 1 point2 points ago

If less people had the defeatist attitude that seems to be so common regarding the site, yes, I believe it could be a viable point of reference for history.

It's people writing down information, the same as in a book. Just takes more people helping than complaining.

[–]chadsten 1 point2 points ago

With that attitude, nothing will change. It's our history book, we should be more stringent on what makes it in.

With anything, don't blame unless you're willing to be part of the solution.

I was looking to link to the part you're referring to, but I didn't see it. You should contribute to the page! Things like that belong in history, and our historians don't always focus on interesting details like that.

FTFY -> Formatted this to be a little easier to read.

If ya change that, it'll come off much more friendly.

THIS is why you don't overlook used guns! by druturnin guns

[–]chadsten 2 points3 points ago

I paid $79.99 for a Remington UMC 250 count .40 ammo box in Central Texas this weekend.

First time I've seen that box in years. It was at Academy Sports if anyone is interested. Had .45 and 9mm as well.

Edit: Checked receipt, it was indeed $79.99.

Fallout 3 GOTY? or Fallout New Vegas Ultimate Edition? by kabinkid117in Fallout

[–]chadsten 3 points4 points ago

Fallout 3 really captured the desolation of a post-apocalyptic setting.

F:NV focused more on story and lore, as NV wasn't directly hit by a nuke.

I prefer FO3 over FNV 100x over, but I know I'm in the minority of the group. I just loved the desolate feeling of despair and ruin. Having too much of a society took me out of the lore too much that it just felt like a grind.

YMMV.

Cook at my restaurant has only seen his family for 3 months in the last 12 years because he came to USA to support his family -- What stories of incredible self-sacrifice have you witnessed? by flypaperzin AskReddit

[–]chadsten 1 point2 points ago

I disagree that he had nothing valuable to say, he just approached it entirely wrong. If he had taken the energy out to actually respond, it would have read something like this:

"It's sad to know many of these people working so hard to help their families are being wronged back home after so many years abroad."

TL;DR - Pretty damn much.

I worked with a few Mexican immigrants (I'm in TX, used to be in construction/landscaping), and it's been told to be more common than not.

They're not just 'banging some dude' most of the time. Their husband has left the country to make ends meet, and after 10 years...well, you start to get lonely.

I am not excusing anyone in the situation, just saying it's a lot less cut and dry than either of you are making it. And it's sad no matter how it's sliced.

Reddit, did your Fallout character have a background story? Did you role play with your character in the wasteland? by Iloldalotin Fallout

[–]chadsten 2 points3 points ago

Go buy the GOTY of FO3, or the DLC packs! They're SO much fun...you're really missing out on another 50+ hours of gameplay.

Define "screws over"

Directly conflicts with the story written by Bethesda.

Louis C.K. reddit by iamlouisckin IAmA

[–]chadsten 213 points214 points ago

He asks to be told to fuck off, yet you prepare a somewhat eloquent response that both insults him, and denies him being told to 'fuck off'.

Bravo Mr. CK, bravo.

[–]chadsten 0 points1 point ago

I would like to expand.

You have an awesome sense of humor about your kids, but it still seems kind of shitty most of the time. No one will ever tell the truth..so, is it really just that fucking bad the first 10 years?

I hope not, but your comedy will get me thru I'm sure.

Thanks!!

If you could get rid of one social custom what would it be? by JackPhilbyin AskReddit

[–]chadsten 8 points9 points ago

When a boy marries, strippers and booze remind him of what he's leaving behind.

When a man marries, friendship and responsibility remind him of what he's choosing to commit to.

Based on divorce rates, it seems like many should wait until manhood before making such a commitment.

As in Magic the Gathering cards? Over 8 million people play this game, it's pretty entertaining, and promotes strategic thinking.

So a friend gave me 2 binders of cards because he doesn't play anymore... by Kwickssin magicTCG

[–]chadsten 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, it's not a couple hundred worth of cards even. That's close to the thousands...

Skyrim on PS3 help by mcostanzoin skyrim

[–]chadsten 5 points6 points ago

Same, to an extent. There is a little lag here and there, and I restart every 3 or 4 hours to avoid freezing on load screens.

That being said, the same holds true for most of my games on most systems. (Minecraft, MGS4, Deus Ex) I personally have not had the 'totally broken Skyrim on PS3' that I hear about so much.

I personally think it's simply over-hyped, but the only way to know will be to try.

Men of Reddit, what are your man laws? by PFC-Schmuckatelliin AskReddit

If I broke my femur and it was poking through my leg, I'd cry like a bitch. If the pain didn't just flat knock me out.

A fingernail? Man the fuck up.

Or use a macro language like AutoHotKey to bind Caps Lock to Shift, or a 'hold' script that sends the user holding Shift.

The key to a safe family... by christopherjenkin guns

[–]chadsten 3 points4 points ago*

We? The government isn't just made up of some magical beings. WE are violating our OWN human rights. Our government is for law, economy, military, education, medicine, and so forth. Human rights aren't our government's job, they're ours.

Don't ask your government to be and hold others around you to be decent humans.

The key to a safe family... by christopherjenkin guns

[–]chadsten 3 points4 points ago*

When you say 'they tr(y) to crack down (on) corruption'...I don't think you understand. The same 'they' that have to crack down on are the same groups of 'they' that need cracked down on in the first place. It makes me uncomfortable too, but that's human nature, not a flaw in the system so to speak.

If any country can manage a population of such size in a remarkably more efficient, I'd love for the US to mimic it. So far, who's larger? China and India? In my opinion, we're the best quality of life to population ratio, government included.

I really mean no offense with my counter argument, I am not happy with my own country lately either. I don't think that it's something many are qualified to appropriately criticize either. I try to stop the smaller harms that I can, and hope my government handles the large items. If these same 'corrupt' people you speak of ever want to truly take our rights (closer to a Chinese government)...well, why in the hell would I not have a few guns?

The key to a safe family... by christopherjenkin guns

[–]chadsten 30 points31 points ago*

Population of United States: 311,591,917 - Jul 2011

Population of New Zealand: 4,367,800 - 2010

With nearly 100x the population, we have to let the smaller harms go. New York City is double the population of your entire country, alone. Not saying ours is better, just that the size is too different to compare political models. You can't adapt a ten person business model to a 1000 employee corporation, and the same goes with governing bodies.

Edit: Math at night. Thank you Raging_cycle_path.

Also, my numbers are from a quick Google/Wikipedia search. I'm sure they're not 100% accurate, however, they don't need to be that close here.
