I’m not a medical expert, but I am currently pretty well informed about the risks of VBACs, since I had one a few months ago (successful, thankfully!). I feel like we don’t have enough details from both sides of this particular story, so I’ll just say some general things based on my experience & my research:

right, you think milwaukee would be perfect for FIFA since they’d need to build a brand new soccer stadium specific stadium for the event, use it for 3 games, then never use it again.

List of shootings in the past 15 days. (Note: After a cursory look, I don’t see if any information as to whether these include suicides and/or incidents in which LEO were the shooters.)

You made a statement of alleged fact—one that is significant in social and political context. It is incumbent upon you to provide references to support your statement.

I’m just floored and saddened that someone at a Redskins game would use a racial slur.

“I mean, they sent Wolverine to Hell; they could at least put Frank Castle on trial.”

What kind of regular person is infuriated or alienated by a Netflix show backing away from a con panel?

Regardless of the motivation, the Punisher is still a character who is, essentially, a mass murderer that kills people with guns. He is, himself, a monster.

Your definition of “regular people” seems off, to me. I know literally *zero* people (friends, family, coworkers) who’d like to watch a graphic HD video of bodies getting shot into meat doilies by high-speed rifles this week.

Do you really not get why they cancelled it or are you juat pretending you don’t? It is really obvious from a pure PR reason why the panel is cancelled and ehat correlation there is, right or wrong.

Yes, he is a mass murderer. A mass murderer of bad people, but still a mass murderer who uses guns as his primary weapon. It’s like Dexter. He kills bad people but is still a serial killer. And I’m sorry, but comparing a track event to the LV shooting is a major false equivalency.

A wise choice in light of the situation. There is just no good way to have a traditional con style panel related to Punisher this close to the Vegas attack.

Got a fine didgeridoo, that one.

In all fairness the Thargoids were ripping players out of hyperspace and killing them before players were able to kill them.

I dunno if you can reliably make this as a reflection on “society” and not just what we’re generally conditioned to do in games.

“I have a granddaughter now I’d like to see as much as I can. I don’t want to spend my life on the road.” Jesus, that is heartbreaking. RIP Mr. Petty.

I felt the same way about the reboot of “Total Recall”. Passably pretty to look at, but completely unengaging. Is this Hollywood’s new business model? “Let’s remake a movie, but this time we’ll make it really dull.”

To protect your hearing. If you target shooting, then, yeah, you ears get destroyed over the years.

It would have been slightly quieter and people would still have heard them. They don’t make the gun silent like on the TV box. They still sound over 100dB.
