Good morning everyone,
Bit of a disclaimer, in this blog I will address the issue of Gun Control (or lack there of) in the United States, that will be discussed towards the end.
Last night's stream was mostly dedicated to Final Fantasy XIV, as we did a raid and trial as a Bard, some fishing, gaining a level on Botany and then dedicated quite a bit of time to leveling Lancer while going into the Palace of the Dead. Actually made three trips through it to get to level 31. I figure we'll do two more trips to try and break through level 50 so that we can use levels 51-60 for boosting up alternate job roles.
Of course not all of the stream was focused on Final Fantasy XIV, nope, we did load up Star Trek Online and ran through a few Task Force Operations over the span of 30-40 minutes, STO is really weird to stream because to have OBS broadcast it at a consistent frame rate I have to cap Star Trek Online's frames at 30, otherwise the stream frame rate bounces from 40-59 frames per second. Not sure if we'll regularly pair of STO with FF14, but the option is always there.
Twitch Clips.
For last night's raid, we dropped in on Hawleigh who was playing The Last of Us Part II over at twitch.tv/hawleigh!
LvStrkr had a great idea for a new feature for the
stream, which is a live score update overly and chat bot, which can be
found over at sportscoresbot.com.
The on-stream version will have the constant scores updates, while the
chatbot will focus on local Philadelphia area teams (Phillies, Eagles,
Flyers, 76ers and Union).
Today's Fitness Boxing 2 daily workout featured Difficult Challenge Combo #2, Difficulty Challenge Combo #3 and Hip Shape Focus Combo. We unlocked the Laura's Contender EX Achievement this morning, meaning our focus will now switch to Sophie's Contender

Work was alright, but something did occur to me with the assignment I was on... the fact that the County Executives, which are elected positions, are not exactly well know in their communities, and thus are typical voted by their party alignment.

Now... how about I go after Gun Rights Activists.. because I saw
something really interesting in the differences between purchasing a
firearm in Canada and the United States. In Canada one must do the
following
- Obtain a firearm license (Mandatory 28-Day Waiting Period)
- Submit Photo and Signature of Photo Guarantor
- Complete Multi-Day Gun Safety Course and Pass Written and Practical Tests
- Complete
Background Check Which Considers Criminal Record, Mental Health
History, Domestic Violence History and Whether Applicant Poses Risk of
Harm to Anyone
- Provide Two References
- Provide Signature of Conjugal Partners Within The Last Two Years
That's
a pretty damn though and well regulated process, and one has to admire
Canada for it. Meanwhile here in the United States... the process is not
so well thought out.
- Pass an Instant Background Check If Buying From An Authorized Seller
- No Restrictions if Buying at a Gun Show Or in Some States, From a Private Seller
Yeah,
you read that right folks, in Canada there are 6 steps one must go
through to purchase a firearm... in the United States, there's only 1
and that's if the person is buying from an Authorized Seller! We got a
fucking problem in this country with guns, and making it harder for
people to obtain them. And guess what fuck nuts, let's take a look at
the Second Amendment: Bearing and Keeping Arms which states the
following
'A well regulated Militia, being necessary to the
security of a free state, the right of the people to keep and bear Arms,
shall not be infringed.'
Which means in plain simple
American English,a well regulated militia means the military and police
force, for they have rules and training necessary for the purpose of the
security of the their respective jurisdictions and the nation... and
with that purpose in mind, the right of the people to keep and bear arms
(aka to own a gun) shall not infringed. So if you're not apart of your
local, county or state Police force, or if you're not enlisted in the
United States Army, Arm Reserves, Army National Guard, the United States
Marine Corp, the United States Navy, The United States Naval Reserve,
The United States Air Force or even the fucking Coast Guard... you are
not entitled to have a gun, let alone something that is similar to what
is used in a real battle field.
And let's get into these so
called militia that are filled with mostly white, racists, beta,
conservatives... they are not well regulated, they are not trained for
active defense of their community let alone the states and nation that
is the United States of America. They are a clear and present danger to
the vast majority of people in this country, because they push to make
it easier for guns to be acquired by those who should not have them. If
we had tighter more restrictive gun laws, a vast majority of these mass
murders would be prevented.
And if you disagree with me, if
you're a gun rights activist, a card carrying member of the NRA and so
forth, then fuck you, you are nothing but a piece of shit who would pray
to an imagery being in the clouds while being completely fine with
letting kids be slaughter. There have been over 1,700 mass shootings in
the United States since January 1, 2019. For every one hundred people
living in the United States there are 120 guns... how is that even
fucking possible?! Oh right, you people have spent over $120 Million
since 2012 to make sure your can compensate for your lack of balls. Fuck
you.For tonight's stream, well it's Friday which means we're returning to Persona 5 Royal, and the countdown to the showdown with Shadow Sae and the betrayal of the Phantom Thieves by Akechi. Should be a pretty fun night.
So we'll see you later over on twitch.tv/fredcasden!
