GOT MY BUMPER STICKERS

This is so incredibly ignorant that it’s making my head hurt. When people say, “Guns don’t kill people,” they are not saying, “A gun and bullets can’t be used to kill someone,” and you know it. A gun, by itself, cannot kill someone. It doesn’t matter what side of the the debate you’re on. A gun, by itself, cannot kill someone. The problem has always, always been people. If you put the blame on an inanimate object, you are saying that people don’t need to take responsibility for their actions.

I hate to repeat a tired cliche, but if you outlaw guns, only outlaws will have guns. Or people will find other ways of murdering each other. This shouldn’t even be a political argument, it’s not about our Second Amendment rights; it’s about being able to defend yourself. Let’s say gun control is fully instated, or it’s made illegal to own a gun. One day, you’re walking home, and someone with a gun pulls you into an alley, threatening your life for whatever it is they want. If you point at them and say, “Hey, having that gun is illegal!” do you think they’ll apologize profusely, turn themselves in, and allow you to go on your merry way?

However, if any average person on the street has a gun, do you think muggers and thieves (or even an ill-intentioned average Joe) are going to be more motivated to make a target of someone? Probably not, since there’s a high chance that target will be well armed (like Chicago vs. Houston, if you look at the first article below).

Here’s an article that might be of interest to you. Here’s another one, that provides a little more context.

I’m sorry to turn this into a rant, I don’t do this (very) often. Just read the first paragraph, that’s really all I meant to say.

Someone has completely missed the point.

Is that you, Steve Carlsburg?

BEST COMMENT

Oh yes, because owning a gun is your “duty as an american”, isn’t it?
United States, the greatest gun producer.
“Buy a pink rifle to your daughter, teach kids how guns are awesome and cool. Give guns TO CHILDREN.” But when they murder each other, blame video games or Marlin Manson. Not the whole gun propaganda nor the president sending more soldiers to kill muslims.

Buy a car, win a gun! Open a bank account in our bank and win a gun! Buy our guns! Guns are cool! Guns are awesome! Having a gun means power! Owning guns will solve crime!

Cut the fucking bullshit about your fucking guns I’m sick of USA and its freaking guns everywhere and you telling me that all this “gun is for protection we have to have it”.

Educate yourselves.

IT JUST KEEPS HAPPENING

It’s it’s a fact! Cities and states that allow a gun on a person are noticeably lower in murder. Having guns is about protection. No, we are not EVER going to give guns to children. We are not going to tell that that having guns are cool, like it’s a toy. We are going to tell them that it’s a dangerous weapon and can kill somebody, even you, if not handled correctly. We can teach them that they can be used for protection if they’re desperate enough. Wether our not they learn how to use it is the parents choice, not yours. I learned how to use a gun by the time I was 11, and I turned out fine. Tons of other people I know also learned how to use a gun at a young age, but they are crazy maniacs. They are normal people that would only use a gun if needed.

Get this through your thick skull:

GUNS ARE NOT THE PROBLEM. PEOPLE ARE THE PROBLEM.

I AM LAUGHING SO HARD 

I CANT BREATHE. ITS TOO GREAT.

GO HOME STEVE CARLSBURG YOU NERD

Yes, actually! I actually had a hard time with Dirk for a long while, and when I was able to isolate why, exactly, I was having problems, it was much easier to address those issues.  I found that it was largely for two reasons. First:

DIrk isn’t boring! He does, however, tend to speak in a deadpan which is emphasised by his perfect grammar and syntax. That means if you aren’t extremely careful, he can come off flat. A good way to fight this is to remember that Dirk, in his mannerisms, is half dudebro, half scholar. He is extremely intelligent and self-taught. Remember this! Don’t be afraid to attack topics like causality, the universes, and ectobaby relations with an air of authority, but also don’t forget he can be bizarrely casual while discussing these things. Probably the best very brief description of Dirk’s vocal stylings exists right inside his own introduction on MSPA: 

Educated, and casual.

The second thing I’d recommend considering is that Dirk goes through a subtle transformation as a character over the course of the comic. It’s a bit of an oversimplification, but for clarity’s sake we’ll call it Pre-Game and During-Game Dirk. The interactions we see involving Dirk before the game starts tend to show him as intelligent and as casual as ever, but also more at ease. He seems to play up the bro-isms for humour, and isn’t afraid to engage in banter and flirtation.

Dirk during the game is somewhat more businesslike. He still has casual mannerisms, but it’s not played up excessively for the laughs. He is very self-aware and comes across significantly less self-satisfied.

Finally: The pesterlog log is an absolute godsend. Read his logs. Read all of his logs. Read them and make a note of where they rest within the story’s chronology. Pick up on details like how as often as not, his casual swearing is less for emphasis and more a completely fuckin’ offhand insertion. He also truncates his words, (ie. ‘fuckin”), but never without the requisite apostrophe to indicate the missing letter(s).

aa i’m sorry I’m a bit rambling and directionless but those are the things I personally struggled with so I hope the reminders are good ones!
