You can't be serious? You didn't know China is actually the country oranges originate from? The head of states title there actually translate to "head orange" in English. In fact "communism" actually means "lots of oranges" in English, it's a term of endearment. Read up on history bro it's really eye opening

There absolutely is a language called Chinese. Mandarin and Cantonese are the two most common dialects. The written language is the same for both; hence, they are the same language.

Mandarin and Cantonese are the spoken dialects. although there is a whole debate weather to classify Cantonese as its own separate language because of cultural, grammatical and tonal differences, we all still use the same writing style (albiet traditional/simplified diversification, but both counterparts have the same meaning for each language). If you are to argue that Mandarin and Cantonese are seperate languages because of the way it is spoken, then Hokkien, Taishanese, Hakka, Weitouhua, etc. should all be classified as distinct languages.
Except no one says that retarded shit.. your analogy is sharing that opinion that " Chinese people don't speak Chinese " like Americans don't speak Americans" . Lol. Dumbass.
Please take a look at my previous comment about this. To further expand on that, I would give you the situation where a Chinese person would ask you"ไฝ ๆ่ชชไธญๆๅ๏ผ" (Do you speak Chinese?). You would not say "ไธๆ,ๆ่ชชๆฎ้่ฉฑ." (No, I speak Mandarin).
I admit that my example is a bit misconstrued, but I am arguing that Chinese is indeed a language. Look it up in the dictionary, if you don't believe me.
" Ain't" is in the dictionary. There are new words in the dictionary based on society turning slang into words from popular use. It doesn't mean it isn't fucking stupid.

I thought that too because of a story I read a while ago about a homeless man โattempting to robโ a bank by showing them a note that said he demanded like, $1. He did it because he knew he would get healthcare in prison.

I always thought that why don't most homeless people just smart up and commit a harmless crime to get into prison. You get food and health care and stay warm in the winter and roof over your head. I would do if I were caught in a really bad situation that would leave in the streets
Sad thing that your comment is being downvoted, but literally everyone who's ever spoken to a healthcare professional who works at a hospital has heard of how many of the poor and homeless use and abuse the care requirement. Toothache? Ah, better go to the ER and get some free meds.
Of course, the homeless should just call their regular dentists and set up an appointment like the rest of us! Or perhaps if they had caught the problems in their twice yearly check-up they wouldn't have a toothache!

If only there was some kind of alternative system where noone would have to pay, and then homeless wouldn't have to abuse systems just to get treatment?
You do realize that lack of universal healthcare is a different problem, right? Like people still pay for those abuses of the system via taxes in countries with universal healthcare. The problems you have to address to fix this issue are those that cause homelessness, of which health care costs are only a part, as illustrated by countries with universal care that still have significant problems with homelessness.

"yeah, the cleaver you were looking for? I've only gone and took it with me! God, the woman in the bank must have heard me say it because she's laughing too. Oh hey, now the security guards trying to hand me his baton, very funny buddy!"
No no, he was trying to deposit a rare cleaver at the bank and had an antique specialist on the phone to check how much value he should declare it's worth.
The cop and the third guy knew this too and we're fine with it, but he cut line in front of that nice lady so they took his rude ass down.

Yeah, seems to me more needs to happen in order to call something a robbery attempt. Like some sort of demand for something from another person? That would be more important than seeing a weapon when deciding if a robbery is taking place.
I mean the piece of paper probably had something like "give me the money" written on it and that's why he was showing the teller. Pretty common robbery thing in movies

Maybe he took a break from cooking and needed money to pay back his cook for the hookers from last night. They say a chief's knife is never to left with others.
Actually I think he knows very much, this is the laziest yet effective way I seen to purposely put yourself in jail, along with that one guy who would politely rob banks for just one dollar and wait for the cops to arrive.
The only time I was "robbed" in person was working in a pawnshop at the age of 20. Normally you never have a single person alone at the shop, but an emergency came up with the managers kid, and the new guy was scheduled to be there in 15 minutes so it didn't seem to be that big of a deal.
During those 15 minutes I had a crackhead come in trying to pawn/sell some womans shoes. I told him we don't take shoes. He looks around, pulls out his knife and tells me he wasn't leaving without some money. I looked at him and told him we do buy knives. His face changed to a, oh really?! expression. I asked to see it, and he handed it right over to me. "I just need $5." That $5 knife is still a part of my collection.

Maybe in America. Doesnโt it have to do with the Banksโs policies here not to try and apprehend a bank robber, because the money is insured and they donโt want the liability? It didnโt seem like they have the same policy there.
I actually just started working at a bank and they gave us a training seminar on robberies. Something like 60 or 70% of robberies are non-violent with a note and no mention of a weapon. Maybe not that high, but definitely over 50%. The statistic came from FBI investigations. Donโt have proof beyond that, sorry.
It was pretty funny how they took it away how I take away something from my dog that he isn't supposed to have, I can almost hear him saying, 'give me that' in a chastising tone.

I just want to admit I thought it was an envelope until I saw this comment. I figured the cop was aggressive due to a threatening comment or something.
When I thought it was an envelope I thought that takedown was way too aggressive for what happened but now that I know it was a fucking meat cleaver that was totally justified.

Yea because the first thing you want to do when entering a bank with a meat cleaver in plain sight is to make sure every one thinks you're just casually strolling through and not at all attempting to rob the place.
I mean if you're gonna do something like this, you really should commit to either an engaging phone call or an engaging robbery, there's no middleground.

Most likely calling the police, in some countries people with no opportunities attempt a small crime with no risk for others (like robbing a bank with a meat knife) and call the police themselves to get some time in jail (food and a place to sleep).

You know your country is fucked up when it takes care of its criminals better than its citizens.
Yeah but I mean if you're gonna already get the jail time for it on purpose, you should atleast try to go for the money.. you really have nothing to lose, it couldn't hurt.
I don't know, that chokehold takedown looked a little painful. Imagine if the cop thought he was actually dangerous.

I guess that's where people show what or who they really are? Even without money/food some just want to get to jail for a little to get those things without actually commiting a crime, while other people in the same conditions would get involve in actual crimes/gangs/cartels etc.
Also depending on the situation you may get more jail time than desired or you can get jail time with actual violent criminals which would be really bad for someone without ill intentions.
he was probably calling family to let them know he was going to be arrested. Somewhere else in the thread quotes a news article that mentions the guy is a former mental patient. My guess would be he couldn't get any meds and chose to go to prison where he could at least get medicine through the state or something.
"Can we not do this now Ling? Yeah yeah i fucking know, you do shit too okay you do shit too, im busy i gotta-- well GO the fuck ahead then, go to your mother's I don't give a shit I hav--"
Yo man, I'm at the bank about to take out some money. how how much do I owe you again? 5,000 Alright no both- shit, can you give me anither 5 or so years.
Technically, was it even attempted robbery? I mean the look of laughter on that lady's face like "how the fuck is that even going to work" sort of makes it obvious he wasn't about to rob shit.

Oliver Cromwell donned the title during the period known as 'The Commonwealth' or 'The Protectorate' (funnily enough). During the time when us Brits were a republic and didn't have a monarch.
"Governor and Protector of the Realm" was the correct formal title of a Regent of Scotland (or Stuart England). It describes what a King does without being called King.
In 1649, after two civil wars, England beheaded the King and was declared a Republic governed by a Council of State. In 1653, after a third civil war and a military coup, the commander-in-chief Oliver Cromwell usurped power and adopted the title Lord Protector. The title meant that in theory Cromwell was was acting as Regent on behalf of a suspended republican government which would eventually be restored.
After 5 years of puritanical military dictatorship (he literally banned Christmas), people realised that the Protector was just as much of an autocratic tyrant as the King, so they amended the constitution to impose upon the Protector all of the checks and balances that the pre-war King had been subject to. The office was made hereditary at the same time, so Protector became exactly the same thing as King.
But after Cromwell died, his heir was soon deposed and after a period of military anarchy the King's son marched in and restored the actual monarchy.
Lord Protector is the title given to a noble man after he marries the female ruler of a castle or realm.
Protector of the Realm is a title within the Seven Kingdoms, the holder of which is the Head of State. More recently it has been changed to be "Protector of the Seven Kingdoms".
The Head of State while holding this title usually holds other titles like, the King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, who also holds the title of Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.
During the minority of a child monarch a Regent is named Protector of the Realm, until the heir comes of age.

I like how he thought of the fish. What about other aquatic life, though? There are plenty of fish who don't live in the sea, not to mention all the animals that live in the sea that aren't fish, like cephalopods, mammals, reptiles, arthropods, diatoms, etc., just to name a few. Not to mention all plantlife, without which, his beasts of the earth and fishes of the sea could not exist. "Fishes of the sea" is just a very narrow-minded category is all I'm saying. "Lord of All the Beasts of the Land and Creatures of the Sea" would have been a little more inclusive. I'd want all the plant life, too. Come to think, why didn't he claim any mineral rights??? I think he wasn't as greedy as you guys are making him out to be.

I don't know if you understood his comment and you were just commenting that there has never been an actual King of Scotland; but one of the titles he gave himself is King of Scotland.
"The Last King of Scotland is a 1998 novel by journalist Giles Foden. Focusing on the rise of Ugandan President Idi Amin and his reign as dictator from 1971 to 1979, the novel is written as the memoir of a fictional Scottish doctor in Amin's employ. "

โHis Excellency, President till whenever, Field Marshal , (Honorary) Doctor Donald James Trump, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of Hillary in the election in General and America in Particularโ
I don't remember which documentary I watched on him (with the boat interview), but have a look at one. Perhaps there was a segment on him in an Adam Curtis doc, I don't remember.
Watch The Last King of Scotland. It's not a documentary but it's a really well-done "based on true events" style of movie that's all about Idi Amin, that's IMO a great intro into the man if you ever feel like reading more on him.
The man was a psychopath and the movie only scratches the surface but it's gut-wrenchingly terrifying in the last parts. Incredibly solid acting and great writing, too.
This is a scene from the film General Idi Amin Dada: A Self Portrait. If I recall correctly this is during a scene on a boat ride where he shows the director he has the power to move clouds around by concentrating on them.

I mean you're not wrong... There's an awful lot of black hair. Personally I'm a little envious of the hair, so style-able, my curly ass hair is such a pain to make look good I just wear hats instead.
I've noticed that in general, people with curly hair wished they had straight hair but most women I've asked want their hair to be the opposite of what they have.
Well I can't speak for the women but it's probably a bit of a grass is greener on the other side type of deal. For me personally curly short hair is not so great, and their not tight curls either so it makes certain styles difficult to obtain and maintain.
Nothing wrong with having a historical figure revealed to you through art. I was saying that most of reddit probably just thinks he's a fictional character.

You can still not like people for shitty business practices without , as you put it, being viscerally upset. Which is a pretty dramatic thing to discern from a down vote.
In 1977, when Britain broke diplomatic relations with Uganda, Amin declared he had defeated the British and added "CBE", for "Conqueror of the British Empire", to his title.
Hey mate, that's a bit harsh, don't you think? I haven't seen the other gif (the one with the gif from Amin, I had it visited already, expected memes, not an upvoted Amin), also I'm not upset about NMS, it's the lies I believed. He made me learn a lesson, I've preordered one single game in more than 15 years, that was NMS. Never again.
I've already mentioned in the other comment what I think about Amin. I just can't grasp people like him. It's madness.
Honestly, I made the comment off handedly. My intention wasnt to offend, and you certainly weren't the only one to think it was harsh. Sorry mate, no hard feelings.

Which do you think people on Reddit are more likely to be upset by - past human rights violations against Jewish people and Ugandans, or an open world videogame with misleading advertising?
A.) I haven't seen the other gif, it wasn't blue so I didn't click it.
B.) People like Amin just don't wake anger in me, only sadness and a kind of desperation. I can't even grasp the amount of people, I just can't imagine all the victims. I just don't understand how anyone can kill another human being or even enjoy it.
You one of those guys who think I should finish my food because starving children in Africa don't have any? Do you expect people to stay angry forever about everything that happened in history? OF COURSE there's no comparison. In fact, there's so little comparison that your comments are ridiculous.
What on earth are you even talking about? There should absolutely be more hate directed to a mass murderer than a video game developer. Even if it happened 1000 years ago. How did you even draw a line to pinning me as a "what about the children!" person as if I have some pansy argument by saying there's no comparison between the two people? Your argument makes no sense. It's not like people here were having an angry discussion about video games and I said "guys relax! there was a mass murdering dictator in Africa 20 years ago! How dare you worry about a video game!" I was making a reply to your rationalization of why Sean Murray should or could be more hated than Idi Amin.
We seem to be at a misunderstanding. Let me try again.
The guy said that seeing Murray makes him want to punch a wall. That guy was wronged and disappointed by Murray in the recent past. (I assume he bought into the NMS hype and was ripped off like everyone else.).
This is in contrast to Idi Amin, a historical figure he likely only knows basic things about. He's never been affected by him. Thus, they don't make him want to punch a wall because he has no relation to them. He, and everyone else in this thread, know that Idi Amin is a worse man, but Murray wronged him, and that causes him to become angry again at the sight of him.
'angry' may be a bit too strong-a word in this situation, but I use it to keep things clear. My latest comment was an expression of incredulity as to how obvious and therefore unproductive your comment was.

His reviews were actually pretty favorable, all things considered. He did point out that he felt like it was getting a little stale a few days in and some people on the sub lost their mind and started accusing him of being a filthy liar and somehow faking his videos because he said he "got a little bored". Considering what the game actually was like, he was either very easy to please or REALLY pulling his punches on his reviews because he knew people would hate him for the truth.
Not defending what Hello Games did at launch, but if you have a look at it now. It's a lot better. People meet up (maybe not exactly the way we thought they would, but more is heavily hinted at), there is world persistence, etc. A lot of what they initially promised is in the game now.
But I do totally understand why people were pissed. Even now it's not for everyone, but it is better now.
I know, but it's like if someone sold you a piano but it arrived with half the keys missing, only for the remaining keys to be shipped over time, except you're still missing several keys and it's a pretty hollow-sounding piano in the first place.
Is it playable now? Mostly, but still. I'd probably end up throwing it away regardless.

And I probably wouldn't be pre-paying for any pianos in the future that I'm buying sight unseen based on the seller's promise that it "plays great".
I would play it, but the shit they tried to pull at launch turned me off of Hello games forever. Completely obvious they knew what they were doing and didnt care to fuck over the consumer

Can I still kick Sean Murray in the shin or something?
I didn't pre-order it either but I bought into the hype of NMS early on. Thing is I usually research heavily into video games because I rarely buy games; it's just I'm too busy for that shit nowadays. When you get home from working at hospital, go to school, deal with household errands, family you just wanna knock back. Oh this game says it can do this? Yeah after a long day I'm not researching it.
Unfortunately that's how they got me. According to a lot of people who still play it, the updates/changes they made make up a lot of it that the game is actually somewhat interesting (allegedly) but the way I was betrayed I'm never touching that game ever again. It's going to collect imaginary binary dust in steam library.

I know it doesn't really matter but p2p games have almost no traffic as long as you play alone. You need to go through the code to know for sure that there is no multiplayer.
Nah, not this. You have all this ability to land and change stuff on various worlds, so you'd need the world status for explored worlds at the minimum. They didn't collect or transmit any of that crap, just the random seed.
And positional data for everyone who is playing the game? HELL no. It's supposed to be all the same world, right, but basically unbounded? A "procedurally generated universe" or whatever bullshit...So you'd need to be able to track every concurrent user to have them be able to see each other, and the space you'd have to track them in would be VAST.
They promised that stuff, and I never saw how they could deliver. I thought it was flat out impossible.
Tamaran ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:35:03 on November 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You could just track which solar system the players are in and connect them if they are in the same one. Thats not really much data or hard at all, since the system is basically just an ID. The game connects to the server every time you change the system anyways to pull the names.
In any case I would've been tons of work to sync up game state between players. The first player in the system would need to share his game state so that everyone sees the same world. If that player left he would need to pass that responsiblity to another player.
The whole thing would be a mess most likely. I wonder if hello games actually attempted something like this just to discover that they can't make it work. Maybe they just lied from the very beginning about the multiplayer thing.

Doesnโt take a genius to have common sense. You bought it sight unseen, no gameplay vids, no user reviews, no critical reviews, nothing. The only video of any kind was some demo stuff that they prepared for tech shows...No gameplay!

This.
I preordered and got others to preorder but by simply keeping the hype in check. I loved the game because my expectations were reasonable. Now the game is much better.
Always beware the hype train.
E: I see you downvoters. Sorry for having an opinion on something. My bad. ๐
No it's just an over hyped video game that turned out to be bad. The fact that someone wants to physically harm him over over hyping his game and not being able to meet expectations is just sad. Over hyped games, movies, and tv shows that don't live up to expectations are nothing new. The creator even got death threats which is just pathetic, a bunch of manchildren mad over a game not being as good as it was hyped to be.
I find it's best to just be a patient gamer. Too many disappointments chomping at the bit. Now I always find my money is well spent. Though for multiplayer oriented games the case can be made that it's not always possible to wait, or you'll miss out on the learning curve or meta, etc, and also people move on from games so one day it's a ghost-town if you wait too long. Even waiting a few months or so it worthwhile, heck, with games like Civ it's almost worth waiting for the first expansion before buying it. Just put it on Wishlist and wait for sales.
It's not really about that. As a father of two I rarely play games at all. I want to. Just need time and energy...
I get really excited for games I know I won't get to play for years but I might one day! I like reading the reviews, the lets plays! I can really get into things while I'm feeding baby late at night without playing. Pre-order or not they kind of built a ridiculous level of excitement for us all.
Seeing him giggling with excitement for some game he must have known was bullshit? Seems like a really cynical act now.
I see his smug giggling face and I get angriest at myself for buying it all.

That is the lead developer of no man's sky, a computer game which left many people disappointed because the game did not deliver in the mind-blowing (what he says in the gif) promises made by the guy.
aaaah, knew about no mans, didn't know about the person or interviews. I left it alone till launch and, with how it turned out, never went back to look into it more haha. Thanks _^

I recently picked it up during a sale. It's not a horrible game. It's quite pretty, actually, but the typical base building/survival game including the grindy search for materials.
That way my only preorder ever. I'm very sceptical of everything, just got totally caught from the presentation. I was kinda in a bit of a downphase, didn't have a game which got me hooked (there were none at the time) and so I preordered on the day before the release.

I bought it at launch. Before everybody realized that guy is a bald faced fucking liar.
They clearly weren't done with the game when they released it. They've updated it a lot and if it was released in it's current state now, it would have been well-received I think. It still wouldn't have been what everyone wanted/expected, so I think there would have been some disappointment, but no one would have felt blatantly ripped off.
The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the multiplayer, which was the one thing that I really needed. Not sure if that's implemented.
That doesn't excuse HG for not being honest about the state of the game at release, but it does show they care about it.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:28:46 on November 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Not to take away from the thought that they probably do in fact care, it's hard to claim that they weren't also motivated by the millions of people pissed at them for the original version of the game
It has kinda been implemented but it's not true multiplayer. You can see stupid little orbs of where other players are. No interaction, no co-op, no pvp.
Be that as it may, itโs still terrible bullshit.
Maybe the publisher pushed him to release the game before features could be added. Ok, so what? He was still dumb enough to over-promise on a super-hyped game, and give a publisher control over a release date without at any reasonable point clearly stating โWe will be moving X, Y and Z features into future free DLC/updatesโ.
Basically heโs trying to do damage control for a series of horrifyingly awful decisions that were 100% made in the pursuit of money. And heโs doing it because at some way-too-late point he started thinking โOh fuck me, I will never be able to release another game again or get any publishers to touch me because of how badly I just fucked up.โ
Donโt forget any of that. If anything, heโs the guy that cheated on his wife and only now realizes that heโs about to lose all his friends, family, house and a huge chunk of his equity, and so is making a pathetic attempt to โfix thingsโ, not because he wants to be a better person, but because heโs terrified of there being actual consequences for his bad behavior (which AFAIK he still blames on others, and isnโt taking real responsibility for).
I'll never forget the interview where he was asked about multiplayer and he just said "you'll definitely be surprised" with that fucking smile on his face
It's funny that this dude makes you want to punch a wall for fucking up a video game, but the guy in the gif immediately above was laughing in reaction to being asked about his pro-Hitler viewpoint.
There was a dictator who killed children and you want to punch the guy who kept making updates for that same game for free as we speak despite him getting death threats and constant harassment? Sure the game sucks but the fact your still angry is childlike.

Well, I mean, Idi Amin is dead, so you can't really punch him.
See thats where your wrong.
I will sell all my worldly possessions and travel to Tibet. Wander around the mountains searching for a true master to teach me the path to enlightenment. I will toil and practice day in and day out for years without counting. Distilling every atom of my being to a zen and peaceful state, at rest and one with the very currents of the universe themselves. After many many long ages of silent contemplation I will untether my spirit essence from this mortal coil and ascend to the realm beyond where my real search shall begin.
Transversing the untold trillions of souls, picking amongst the lost the found the wayward and the damned I shall grow ever closer to finding my one true purpose left in the realm of my existence as both light and dark.
And on the fateful dawn, the very pinnacle, the zenith of my perfection, I shall lay my glowing, ethereal hand upon the equally shimmering effervescent shoulder of the focus of my search, softly clear my shimmering, translucent voice box and shout in perfect, rapturous harmony SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!!! and cold cock Idi Amin square in the fucking face.
You could say that about anyone someone wants to punch. I want to punch my annoying neighbour....WELL HITLER KILLED MILLIONS AND YOU WANNA PUNCH YOUR NEIGHBOUR?!

I played it a fair bit (66 hours) about two months ago. It's alright, but I wouldn't really recommend it to my friends.
The start, assuming you're not playing on the easiest setting, is pretty fun. You really feel you have to figure out how to survive on a hostile planet, find cover from the elements, and trek across the landscape to get to your spaceship. As soon as you get to your spaceship it turns into an endless grind for very very minor progression though.
There's some quests you can do. They take a good while to get done, but the story is not great and the payoff at the end is pretty low.
Everything is procedurally generated, which generally (and in this case especially) means everything is the same everywhere with minor variations. Once you've seen one instance of a planet type you've seen them all, and once you've seen a planet in general you can pretty much guess what the others will look like. (Ice planets are blue with rare ice crystals, toxin planets are green with rare toxic mushrooms, fire planets are red with rare fire plants, etc.)
That said, it's a nice relaxing grind, there isn't much difficulty, and the progression is so slow that you'll be working towards some goal for a lot of hours. All in all: not bad when you just want to relax, and not something I'd recommend to others because "non-challenging relaxation" isn't really what most of my friends look for in games.
Thanks for this review. Despite all the shat, I have still been interested in trying it someday. Your review is pretty much what I expected, so my interest is reinforced.
Well, according to Steam Charts there was a peak of 1,286 people playing it today. I'd say that's pretty good considering how hated the game still seems to be.

Well his bluff was called and he couldn't even run, and he didn't swing. No point struggling. It's an Asian country, you could get well thrashed by a mob or police prior to arrest.
He didn't even deny the guard from applying pressure on his windpipe. The quicker he subdues and bends the knee, the quicker the guard moves on from choking to actual arrest protocol.

Survivor superfan coming in! This is from Season 17 (Gabon). The two girls, Corinne and Sugar, were surprised with the boot, as they see the other tribe coming in for a challenge. Corinne was in an alliance with the boot (Marcus) and Sugar was kind of. As a viewer, Marcus had the best edit until his boot, many people calling him as the frontrunner. Matty (middle) was delighted because his allies in the other tribe did unthinkable and booted someone whoโs a huge challenge asset.
This season is a prime example of a clusterfuck Survivor season, with people you wouldnโt think would reach the end reaching the end.
Of course Iโm ending this with a recommendation to watch the show. Seasons 7, 10, 15, 18, and 28 are the top recommendations of r/survivor if you donโt want any returnee players.

I've seen this before and that part never gets old. Love that part. And, I like the way the guy calmly handed the officer the envelope before taking him down. Can anyone explain what actually happened, though? Did the envelope say something like, "Give your money"?
Didn't realize that was a meat clever until now. I thought that it was an envelope. This is even more hilarious now. Give me your money or I'll, I'll, I'll chop through the glass?

CCTV has captured a would-be robber entering the China Construction Bank in Zhoujiazui armed with a meat cleaver.
But it is the way that the bank clerk reacts to the attempted robbery that is the most extraordinary thing about the video.
Despite having a seven inch meat cleaver being held near her face, the bank clerk starts pointing and laughing at the man threatening her.
The surveillance footage then shows the would-be robber being disarmed by security guards and restrained.
The MailOnline has reported that the man is believed to be a patient at a psychiatric ward.

It's actually the greatest show ever made.
Edit: For fans looking for more, the actors playing Rafi and Andre have a podcast How Did This Get Made?, where they watch and shit on bad B movies. It is legit funny and Jason Mantzoukas is probably the funniest person on the planet. A bit heavy on the ads but the chemistry is great and the jokes are on point.

It's over!?!?! I thought that was just the end of the season, not the show....
I feel like we (the US) are sort of getting there.
Like there is a trend lately of shorter 10-13 episode seasons that I love. It keeps things more concise and focused. They also tend to be complete stories for the most part meaning you don't get a cliffhanger when the show is not renewed.
The last couple seasons of The League were especially tragic since it was such a huge dropoff. It'd be like if Always Sunny turned into a cliche relationship multi camera sitcom.

Having lived in Beijing and Xi'an for half a year, I can say that they're pretty much correct. I personally found that there are three "levels" of quality you will see in China:
Chinese things made for Europe
Chinese things made for North America
Chinese things made for Chinese
The first is very high quality, and comes from the high standards and restrictions seen in countries like Germany or Switzerland. The second is decent quality, and is the kind of stuff you would find at a Walmart or Target. The third is poor quality, and while it may look like the same quality as the other two, it will fall apart or break very easily.
Lots of things fell apart if you touched them, like shower heads, end tables, etc. The news at the time was talking about how construction companies had been cutting corners by mixing river sand into their cement to save money, and it was going to result in the quick deterioration of many large buildings in Beijing.
China is an OSHA nightmare, with little to no regulation going on to ensure quality or safety of facilities, factories, structures, etc.

I want to be able to see the air I breathe that way I know for sure it's there. We can't trust the government to guarantee we have air unless we can see it.
That's hard to say, really. That's what people forget. China was at famine level of poverty not long ago. With that kind of poverty, what you trade off for better work safety or air quality is not some cars or clothes (as we're used to in the west), but someones dinner or house. Every safety feature or environmental protection slows economic growth, and the lack of economic growth in a country as poor as China was (and is, someplaces) can be translated directly into not just lost quality of life, but loss of life itself.
That's a poor analysis, it wasn't governmental quality safety that was keeping people poor and underfed, it was an unstable, corrupt, and even further flawed government system. They were poor because they didn't give a fuck, except for the ideological face of the government.
You're making it sound like the things you mentioned were actually in place and functioning well before. Which isn't true, they are just as corrupt as before, they just want the country to make more money, still at the expense of the people.
The reason they were poor doesn't matter to my analysis. If any poor country wants to get richer fast, they can't have as good safety and environmental protection as a country that is already rich. It slows down growth. The trade-off is worth it for us in the west, but not for everyone.
You're implying that someone the safety standards they had in place was somehow keeping them from progressing and loosening them helped them grow faster. Which isn't the case.
Environmental and safety standards were a non-factor in the growth of their economy because they didn't exist to begin with.
You're implying that someone the safety standards they had in place was somehow keeping them from progressing and loosening them helped them grow faster. Which isn't the case.
No, quite the opposite. I'm arguing that if they had had obligatory safety standards, it would have left them worse off.
Its kind of ironic that China, a communist country, is falling victim to lack of regulation.

Well, I can't speak for the whole country. I just know that it strives to be competitive at the expense of humans, since one of their largest resources is humans.
Eh. They arent really communist rather a new blend and mix when they modernized hard in the 90s. Like China has comparable population with India but has more millionaires, that doesnt make sense from a communist ideology standpoint.
I reckon modern day china shares more with fascism than its communist roots. That corporate heavy state run authoritarian government. But even then, it still differs. You cant really put China under any particular ideological label.

Communism doesn't mean shit has to be highly regulated, it only means that profits are redistributed by the government, ideally spent for the good of their country and society as a whole. Plus they have never been fully communist just as capitalist states aren't ever straight free markets. They have of course pushed market economics more and move towards manipulating industries from within the industry to grow their economy and industrial base against the older views of trying to regulate supply of key industries and hope people respond logically.
Look, if people want proper cement for their buildings they can just start their own cement factory.
Market forces will ultimately decide what's good by making the best choice (ie the cheapest/most profitable choice). There's no liability anyway because the whole thing has been outsourced to a fly by night construction company that will dissolve (and reform) as soon as construction is finished.

The libertarian dream
If China is how you understand "libertarian dream", you definitely need to read more about libertarian ideas.
The "Libertarian dream" joke was clearly only referring to the quote of "little to no regulation going on to ensure quality or safety of facilities, factories, structures, etc." and not China as a whole.
Can confirm. I travel a lot and had the chance to notice that too.
Also, the โChinese quality for Chineseโ goods seem to get exported to the poorer countries as well. When I travel back to South America and decide to buy something cheap, Iโve had some unpleasant surprises. The quality is not usually on the same level as the Chinese-made stuff we get in the US or Europe.
cutting corners by mixing river sand into their cement to save money, and it was going to result in the quick deterioration of many large buildings
This I did not know. Itโs standard procedure in my country and Iโm now worried. lol
Weโre usually concerned when people add sand from the beach, with salt in it. Especially in reinforced concrete where that will eat at the metal parts.
Funny. Used to be that it's the other way around. People keep saying China will collapse in 1975198919912000200520102015...

That's not gonna be true for situations where money is involved though. You just crunch the numbers and realize that you should get the good glass, or someone will take your good money.
The only skimp when things are a threat to health and safety, because apparently that doesn't translate to money quite the same way over there.
Yea if you told me a dude punched through 'security' glass in a non-government Chinese building...I'd believe that. She was safe but if he got rowdy before the guards got there I'd give him 50/50 odds on busting through like The Shining.
How is that sensational? Thatโs a literal description of what happened. Reddit needs to chill with calling everything sensationalized

the way that the bank clerk reacts to the attempted robbery that is the most extraordinary thing about the video.
Despite having a seven inch meat cleaver being held near her face, the bank clerk starts pointing and laughing at the man threatening her.
If you read that without the video for context you wouldn't think there was a big protective slab of glass in between them. They are clearly trying to make the situation sound dramatic and imply that she was laughing it off even though she was in danger. In fact there was almost no danger to her at all.
Same here. Itโs the way he was holding it. Gotta be the least threatening way to hold a meat cleaver, especially behind whatโs probably safety glass.
Exactly! This is like covering a story about patrons at a zoo by saying: "People were enjoying popcorn and ice cream sandwiches just inches from a gorilla's face!"

Dude, I'm not kidding, I really want to see this robbery, but I told my boyfriend we could go to dinner tonight so you need to get this shit started, I don't wanna cut off your robbery when we close at 5."
I didn't know it was a cleaver, at first it looks like a letter in an envelope. I assumed it was a note saying "I AM ROBBING YOU NOW", which is equally ineffective.

He's probably pretending to be on the phone so he can give her instructions without looking like he's talking to her. And she laughs at him because... Well because there's a huge plane of glass in between them that he'd probably have a heck of a time hacking through!
This guy obviously just wanted to get into jail, sometimes that's the better alternative for people.

That's the only thing I can think of. Giant cleaver, cop clearly sees him, doesn't react, doesn't try to evade capture, hell the guy behind him casually hands something to the other dude, and then choke holds him down without a struggle. The dude clearly wanted to be arrested.

I feel like there are easier ways to get thrown in jail than taking a cleaver to a bank. I mean that seems like the way that would get you shot or the shit kicked out of you. If the end goal is to go to jail just whip your dick out and run down Main Street or whatever it's called in your town and pee on people. Taking a meat cleaver to a bank seems like a stupid way of going about getting arrested... Although I guess if your life goal is to be a prisoner you may not be too bright to start with.

I don't know about elsewhere but it's not uncommon for homeless people in the US who are really down on their luck to commit some sort of petty crime with the sole intent of going to jail/prison. In their minds it's still a shitty situation, but they get 3 meals a day and a safe place to sleep at night so it's a step up from their current predicament.
In Japan, a million young men have shut the door on real life.
Almost one man in ten in his late teens and early twenties is refusing to leave his home โ many do not leave their bedrooms for years on end.
It is a lost generation. Many millions of families are devastated. But they mostly suffer in silence, unable to understand the plight of their children. The first western psychologist to study the problem describes the condition as โan epidemicโ sweeping Japan.

I gave him way to much credit. I thought maybe it was like the Pulp Fiction robbing a bank with a phone scenario. Like having a sign explaining that his kid was being held hostage and he was being given instructions through the phone.
Then I saw it was a fucking cleaver and had to dial back my expectations for humanity.

This is fucking hilarious you're having a privilege fight with someone
Yes it means nothing. Your sense of achievement you feel for it isn't unique. That you've taken on debts isn't exceptional, it's par for the course for the vast majority of people.
Privilege is a stupid concept and whatever tripe you've been exposed to to make you think anyone with spare brain cells to rub together wants to read or hear you talk about it should be put in the trash, along with your political views (no i don't care what they are either) and whatever feeble bullshit you try and string together to respond to this.
That's a new one. And reinforced how, exactly? If I was in need of validation from random people on the internet i'd be posting in gonewild fam, not insulting someone so socially awkward it bleeds through their keyboard.
I'm aware bud, it's just weird to see someone actually try to use it as an insult, like calling me a jackanape. Unusual, same as complimenting someones perspicacity or calling something slanted asklent.

Check your privilege. They're saying that they're not sure if Chinese prisons are like American prisons, in that they'll get the care they need. Also this is the first time I've ever seen anybody use "check your privilege" seriously, thank you for that.
People starve to death in every country every day, jackass. China is one of the most modern places that I've lived in, certainly more modern than a lot if American cities. It's not all rice paddies and farmers and people aren't just dropping like flies. If you want to talk about checking privilege it's time you checked yours. You have no real concept of other cultures, you've just read about it on the news and heard some second hand information, and saying that everyone there is so desolate and starving that prison is a better alternative is pretty racist tbh. Source: I have lived in China for years, speak the language fluently, have a Chinese wife and know the actual culture as well.
In the future, maybe do some research before acting pompous and calling other people out for being ignorant, it makes you look pretty foolish when you don't actually know what you're talking about.

Privilege means that I'm superior to other people, right?
"Hello? Yeah. Yeah ok I showed her the meat cleaver. What did you say to do next? Demand money? I don't think she can hear me. Yeah there's a big window in the way. I don't know, maybe, I mean it looks thick. Nah she hasn't given me the money yet. Hang on someone wants to talk to me-"
I didn't even notice that it was a meat cleaver, to me it looked like he had a piece of paper with a message to the teller; something like "Give me all the money in your booth or this place will blow up". Actually, that would have been a more efficient and inconspicuous way to rob a bank.
"I'm sorry, but may I please rob you?" "Oh, of course, sir. Here is your money. Please hurry on your way out, I'm about to call the police!" "Okay, thank you very much!"

When I was in High School I worked at a all night self-serve gas bar. After 11:00 pm you locked yourself into a small glass booth and were not supposed to open the door for any reason before 6:00 am when the day crew came in.
One night a guy tried to rob me with a small kitchen knife. He kept telling me to open the door so he could stab me.
At first I thought this was a bad joke gone too far but then I realized just how fucked up he was and that he was serious.
I wrote down the plate number on his car and told him I was calling the cops.
He kept telling me to open up so I could get stabbed. At this point I lost it and broke down laughing, almost pissing my pants.
I called the cops as he took off without paying for the $10 worth of gas he pumped.
The cops came by the gas station about an hour later and told me they had chased him for some distance before he crashed into a mailbox, got into a fight with the cops before getting hauled away.
With all the other paperwork the cop asked me not to file a report on the stolen gas. I agreed only to find out later that without a police report the $10 came out of my pay.
It was totally worth $10

Maybe, maybe not. But we do know that if the officer shot and killed him, a lot of people would say it was justified or even necessary since he had the cleaver.
It's always best to use the least amount of force necessary to subdue someone. If this guy had been shot I wouldn't have had a problem with it but at the same time I'm glad they were able to subdue him without killing him or hurting him too badly.
As evidence by this video, it certainly isn't necessary. A civilized approach would be to use the least around of force necessary to subdue, instead of using the slightest threat of violence to justify lethal force.
As evidence by this video, it certainly isn't necessary.
This was a fortunate outcome.
If the guy decided to go berserk and start swinging when the police officer approached him, I have a funny feeling your perspective would quickly change.
A civilized approach would be to use the least around of force
Yes - because when some brings a meat cleaver into a bank, the first though running through your head should be โhow do I keep things civilized in this situation?โ You always want to make sure that this is your first reaction rather then โhow do I protect the innocent civilians around the disgruntled guy with the meat cleaverโ.
Obviously, different situations call for different methods.
But to say lethal force isnโt justified for someone bringing a deadly weapon into a bank..is literally insane.
Sorry, thatโs not how it works.
Everything civilized is off the table when you consciously decide to threaten the life of someone else with a weapon.
But do realize that's what it is, not some natural law.
It may not be a "natural" law, but where I live..it is a law.
And as far as I'm concerned, it's way more natural to react in in this way then to try and tip toe around the issue and wait until someone else gets hurt.
If by "way more natural" you mean corresponding to animal instinct then we agree. But the beauty of being a rational and conscious species is that we can rise above that.
A meat cleaver isnโt sufficient to kill someone? Interesting.
Iโve heard otherwise regarding decapitations and machete attacks in Europe..there were quite a few that fell under that category.
Shooting and killing a guy who hasn't harmed anybody is excessive force especially if they can be easily stopped with another method.
Sure - a man armed with a meat cleaver making threats around lots of civilians is no threat at all! We should just assume the man who was insane enough to initially make the decision to bring a meat cleaver into a bank has absolutely no bad intentions whatsoever, and is most likely not a threat.
This same retarded logic is why so many people are getting murdered in knife attacks over in Europe.
Itโs really easy to point fingers and say this shit when youโre not the person about to get stabbed.

On your first point, practice reading comprehension. I said there are non lethal weapons to deal with stuff like this. At least try to not make yourself look like an idiot if you're gonna insult someone.
Furthermore, you are using arguments that are mostly irrelevant to the point I was trying to make.
Also, that "retarded logic" you are talking about has nothing to do with why so many people get murdered by knives in Europe. I would assume well over 99% of the murders by knives happen when there is no police around and nobody who can stop the murderer until after the damage is already done. I would say a VERY miniscule amount of murders in Europe could've been stopped if lethal force was used instead of non-lethal.

Second, yeah see - that's what happens when you don't specify things and throw out vague insults.
For someone who knows so much about "reading comprehension", you would think you would know that.
And lastly, how is it not hypocritical?
You throw out "I'm at work" as an excuse for why you "can't type quickly", but when I say the same thing for why there was a misunderstanding earlier - you can't accept it.
It's objectively hypocritical whether you agree with it or not.
Well I'm not really against guns that much, but in the US the robbers would have access to firearms. In a lot of Asian countries, gun violence isn't a thing because of very strict regulation (I believe the tight regulations specifically surround bullets and ammunition; not the actual firearms).
So when you compare massive drug trafficking era epidemics from Asia to America, Asia gangs fought with like bats and knives while America waged war spraying guns.
Now I do support the right to bear arms and all but it's pretty fucking clear here. This scenario in USA would have ended tremendously different; violence would be pretty likely. This meat cleaver guy could have hurt someone but he would never be able to kill like 10-20 people in under 30 seconds.

I mean it's to show I'm not a biased gun-hating guy just looking to bash on gun laws in America any chance I get. It's to show I recognize the "cause-effect" of the "right to bear arms" and that comes in the form of violence. Like yeah our cops are better equipped to deal with violence... but that escalation of violence would never have been achievable had it not been for such a lax and careless approach on gun restrictions.
Honestly whenever I see a jacket full of weapons like that, I wonder how feasible that kind of thing really is. Isn't it just better to have like 1-3 blades that are just really good at what they do instead of like 30?
Like I have a hair stuck on my t shirt and that shit stabs me all day and it bothers me. There's no way this jacket is viable when you're actually doing physical activities like running around and beating people and killing them.

I don't understand how this was ever going to be a robbery. Pretty sure the cleaver wouldn't have done shit against the glass barrier so unless he was planning to cut random customers up until they gave him money, I don't see what the threat was.
He seems too casual to be planning to hack people up though.
It's all very weird, perfect for the sub I suppose.
Itโs possible he prepared terribly badly and didnโt know there would be glass. Or maybe he thought it would be threatening enough that theyโd give him the money out of fear he might hurt the customers.
Maybe the phone call was โhey dude, it got to the bank but thereโs glass, Iโm doing it anyway, what should I do differently?โ
Well not sure about China but in the old days in America (probably still do today) homeless people or desperate people tried their best to get arrested and locked up so they'd have a stable/warm place to stay where they get fed and medical check ups during the colder seasons.
"Aunt Xi? I'm here with the cleaver you needed for dinner. Yeah, I'm at the third teller window. Dinner is saved! Hold on, the security guy wants to talk to me..."

That whole interaction was professional as fuck and hilarious as hell. Don't do anything to startle this idiot with a cleaver, grab the cleaver first and then choke the fuck out of him until he's on the ground and not wildly swinging a cleaver around, then we can all have a nice talk about his life choices and why he decided to grab a cleaver and go knock on that nice lady's register window and ask for money.
Okay so assuming this actually was an attempted robbery....what the fucking FUCK was the plan?
Okay, today's the day. I'm going to press my super scary glass-cutting cleaver against the window and hope the teller is scared out of her mind (and totally doesn't laugh and point at me). I won't ask for the money...not yet...just let them gaze at my powerful weapon. If there's anyone at the counter, I will smile pleasantly and call them a cuntface so they leave. Now is where I get on the phone... I will show them how important I am. I do not have time for their stupidity. Once they see how casual I am, they will hand me....nay...they will HURL their money, panties, and jewelry at me.

The dude who calmly walks up from behind, takes the cleaver, gives it to the cop then (appears to) break the dudes fucking neck is a bad ass.
Okay but can we talk about how expertly this whole situation was handled by all involved? Sure the girl in front of the booth could of gotten out of there sooner, but I'll chalk that one up to her being in shock before booking it. Either way she gets a pass from me. The guard however instantly positions himself as a threat and makes it clear if he tries anything that he'll get beat. Not only is he making sure the guy knows what'll happen, but if he tries anything than he's making sure everyone else in the area is at least not his first target thus giving them time to get away safely. And then the guy next to the knife welding idiot just instantly grabbing the guy the second he's distracted, making sure the guard can get the knife out of his hands, and then taking his ass down. Overall A+ all around.
Same here, I thought it was a note also. Second time around the situation made a lot more sense. Brave security personnel. On prior visits to China and Hong Kong I found that security guards seem to be far better trained and afforded more ability to do their job as opposed to security guards in the West.
Unless you're a liscensed armed security guard, basically you just watch cameras/people and if anything actually happens you call the police and wait, mostly without any actual training of what to do in such an event either.
Well to be fair, having to disarm a potential assailant by hand and your only weapon is a baton stick forces you to take creative measures; the measure he took meant they didn't even need to confront him with a baton. They just had to disarm him and take him down. In the US, it can be "Oh my god your dog was barking so I got scared and shot it" type of reaction from cops. And Asians get called out for being bitches in American culture.
Also it's likely this guy wasn't actually trying to hurt anyone or actually rob the place. He probably just wanted to get arrested. I'm not sure how that translates in China but in America, people (mainly homeless or poor people) used to get arrested on purpose so they have a place to sleep during winter, get medical checkups, food, and just escape from life if they are desperate; maybe freshly divorced or some major family drama.
Agreed, he didn't seem violent and might be like something you discussed. You still have to take a person threatening with a knife down hard though and these people handled it well.
Yes I agree. I mean what I am saying is pure speculation. It's also more likely the guy had mental issues or probably was on drugs. This means he could be impulsive and posed a threat to people around him. Even if he seems passive, you have to subdue the guy... THEN get answers afterwards. One of the few times you punch first and ask questions later.
I'm from America. Went to Vietnam for vacation and asked if I could have a knife to use to open my crabs with.
They looked at me in horror, as if I asked them for a gun.
I then looked around and NOBODY had a knife at any table. My guide explained to me that knives are only for the kitchen and they don't use knives as eating utensils.
This is what happens when democracy falls.

I almost feel like he was just having an ADD moment. Like, was chopping up some food and realized "fuck, I forgot onions. Fuck, I don't have any money. Let me head downstairs for a moment and get some" and wasn't even thinking about the fact that he was still holding the knife when he got there.
When I was in China the guard at every bank I saw had a baseball bat sized club and often riot gear. More than enough to take care of a guy with a cleaver.

i thought he was holding up a note or something that said "I have a gun and am robbing you. Calmly give me the money." all while trying to look real smooth and nonchalant about it. Probably would have been a better play then the meat cleaver and would come with less jail time
I was about to ask if anyone knew what the envelope that dude was holding up said, then after about the fourth or fifth loop I realized it was a cleaver.
I'm assuming this guy is high as a kite. His demeanor is wildly inappropriate given the situation, and he seems to have no executive function. A random phone call is just as urgent as the robbery he's currently committing. Then he didn't even manage to resist the security guard ambling over to beat him.
I believe the phone call was just him pretending to be on the phone so that other customers would not be suspicious .
I do the same thing when walking down a street and I think someone might mug me. Fake talking on the phone so as to make myself look unapproachable and not nervous ...
I honestly thought it was a note that said โgimme all the cash โ this is a sticky up!โ

People will probably downvote you but you're only slightly exaggerating. Here we shoot people running away from cops because they suspect he had a weapon.
They shoot people who have a carving knife to whittle with who are 20 feet away.
Would an American cop calmly walk up on a guy with a fucking MEAT CLEAVER and take him to the floor relatively gently?
Both cases I mentioned were all over the fucking news... the homeless man who carved things to sell... and especially the guy running away from cops who they shot in the back and then threw their taser down near his body to claim he'd grabbed it... shot him as he was running away, as he was about half a football field away.
The videos ran CONSTANTLY for over a year.... and you are this ignorant?
I could say "someone shot JFK" and you'd demand a link.
The video of the man being shot in the back from across a field RAN ON EVERY NEWS SOURCE FOR MONTHS, was covered everywhere, was commented on (and excused) by the US President, and was one of the major news stories of the YEAR.
And you don't know the case I'm talking about?
OF COURSE YOU KNOW THE CASE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
Fuck your link, you liar.
I'll give you the name of the victim. Walter Scott. No doubt you heard it many times, but I'm sure you don't remember it because he doesn't count as a person to you.
Now - go ahead and do what we all know you're going to do - google the name to remind yourself...
...and then come back here to whitesplain how shooting an unarmed man running away from cops from yards away was "completely justified."
Fucking asshole troll authoritarian racist piece of shit apologist.
That wasn't the point of my comment though. My point was the fact that the security handle it the way it should have been done. In North America it would have ended up very different.
I didn't say outlaw guns. I just said have "some gun control". If that produced hilariously inept "outlaws" like this, I'm all for it. Also, guns are outlawed in china IIRC so why doesn't he have a gun?
I love that asian bank tellers face, it made my day.

Am I the only one being slightly disturbed by how the security guard seems to grab him by the neck to knock him out at the end... after he's disarmed? In a manner that seems dangerous and completely unnecessary? What's wrong with handcuffs? Coming from a supposed trained professional, that's more WTF to me than the random idiot with a cleaver.
edit: Ok,.. now I'm officially disturbed getting downvoted for this. You guys really don't see anything wrong with this? "Oh, violence is ok since he's a criminal"? That's fucked up.

Mandarin and Cantonese are the spoken dialects. although there is a whole debate weather to classify Cantonese as its own separate language because of cultural, grammatical and tonal differences, we all still use the same writing style (albiet traditional/simplified diversification, but both counterparts have the same meaning for each language). If you are to argue that Mandarin and Cantonese are seperate languages because of the way it is spoken, then Hokkien, Taishanese, Hakka, Weitouhua, etc. should all be classified as distinct languages.

I always thought that why don't most homeless people just smart up and commit a harmless crime to get into prison. You get food and health care and stay warm in the winter and roof over your head. I would do if I were caught in a really bad situation that would leave in the streets

Or, you know, you could try to get a job and turn your life around.
Voluntarily going to prison is basically giving up. Because itโs only going to be harder to get a job when you get out with a record

That's nothing, a guy in Kansas City robbed a bank and then just sat down until the police got there because he'd rather be in jail than with his wife. https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/morning-mix/wp/2016/09/08/rather-be-in-jail-70-year-old-man-robs-bank-to-get-arrested-and-away-from-wife-police-say/

Sad thing that your comment is being downvoted, but literally everyone who's ever spoken to a healthcare professional who works at a hospital has heard of how many of the poor and homeless use and abuse the care requirement. Toothache? Ah, better go to the ER and get some free meds.

Of course, the homeless should just call their regular dentists and set up an appointment like the rest of us! Or perhaps if they had caught the problems in their twice yearly check-up they wouldn't have a toothache!

You do realize that lack of universal healthcare is a different problem, right? Like people still pay for those abuses of the system via taxes in countries with universal healthcare. The problems you have to address to fix this issue are those that cause homelessness, of which health care costs are only a part, as illustrated by countries with universal care that still have significant problems with homelessness.
MistyWindy ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 05:41:09 on November 30, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Well, it wouldn't address the cost, but it would address the abuse of the system e.i. going to the ER instead of a dentist.

No no, he was trying to deposit a rare cleaver at the bank and had an antique specialist on the phone to check how much value he should declare it's worth.

I actually just started working at a bank and they gave us a training seminar on robberies. Something like 60 or 70% of robberies are non-violent with a note and no mention of a weapon. Maybe not that high, but definitely over 50%. The statistic came from FBI investigations. Donโt have proof beyond that, sorry.

Most likely calling the police, in some countries people with no opportunities attempt a small crime with no risk for others (like robbing a bank with a meat knife) and call the police themselves to get some time in jail (food and a place to sleep).

I guess that's where people show what or who they really are? Even without money/food some just want to get to jail for a little to get those things without actually commiting a crime, while other people in the same conditions would get involve in actual crimes/gangs/cartels etc.
Also depending on the situation you may get more jail time than desired or you can get jail time with actual violent criminals which would be really bad for someone without ill intentions.

he was probably calling family to let them know he was going to be arrested. Somewhere else in the thread quotes a news article that mentions the guy is a former mental patient. My guess would be he couldn't get any meds and chose to go to prison where he could at least get medicine through the state or something.

"Governor and Protector of the Realm" was the correct formal title of a Regent of Scotland (or Stuart England). It describes what a King does without being called King.
In 1649, after two civil wars, England beheaded the King and was declared a Republic governed by a Council of State. In 1653, after a third civil war and a military coup, the commander-in-chief Oliver Cromwell usurped power and adopted the title Lord Protector. The title meant that in theory Cromwell was was acting as Regent on behalf of a suspended republican government which would eventually be restored.
After 5 years of puritanical military dictatorship (he literally banned Christmas), people realised that the Protector was just as much of an autocratic tyrant as the King, so they amended the constitution to impose upon the Protector all of the checks and balances that the pre-war King had been subject to. The office was made hereditary at the same time, so Protector became exactly the same thing as King.
But after Cromwell died, his heir was soon deposed and after a period of military anarchy the King's son marched in and restored the actual monarchy.
Thatguysstories ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 20:17:37 on November 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Lord Protector is the title given to a noble man after he marries the female ruler of a castle or realm.
Protector of the Realm is a title within the Seven Kingdoms, the holder of which is the Head of State. More recently it has been changed to be "Protector of the Seven Kingdoms".
The Head of State while holding this title usually holds other titles like, the King of the Andals, the Rhoynar, and the First Men, who also holds the title of Lord of the Seven Kingdoms.
During the minority of a child monarch a Regent is named Protector of the Realm, until the heir comes of age.

I like how he thought of the fish. What about other aquatic life, though? There are plenty of fish who don't live in the sea, not to mention all the animals that live in the sea that aren't fish, like cephalopods, mammals, reptiles, arthropods, diatoms, etc., just to name a few. Not to mention all plantlife, without which, his beasts of the earth and fishes of the sea could not exist. "Fishes of the sea" is just a very narrow-minded category is all I'm saying. "Lord of All the Beasts of the Land and Creatures of the Sea" would have been a little more inclusive. I'd want all the plant life, too. Come to think, why didn't he claim any mineral rights??? I think he wasn't as greedy as you guys are making him out to be.

Watch The Last King of Scotland. It's not a documentary but it's a really well-done "based on true events" style of movie that's all about Idi Amin, that's IMO a great intro into the man if you ever feel like reading more on him.
The man was a psychopath and the movie only scratches the surface but it's gut-wrenchingly terrifying in the last parts. Incredibly solid acting and great writing, too.
Just don't watch it with kids around.

What on earth are you even talking about? There should absolutely be more hate directed to a mass murderer than a video game developer. Even if it happened 1000 years ago. How did you even draw a line to pinning me as a "what about the children!" person as if I have some pansy argument by saying there's no comparison between the two people? Your argument makes no sense. It's not like people here were having an angry discussion about video games and I said "guys relax! there was a mass murdering dictator in Africa 20 years ago! How dare you worry about a video game!" I was making a reply to your rationalization of why Sean Murray should or could be more hated than Idi Amin.
HellraiserMachina ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:43:20 on November 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
We seem to be at a misunderstanding. Let me try again.
The guy said that seeing Murray makes him want to punch a wall. That guy was wronged and disappointed by Murray in the recent past. (I assume he bought into the NMS hype and was ripped off like everyone else.).
This is in contrast to Idi Amin, a historical figure he likely only knows basic things about. He's never been affected by him. Thus, they don't make him want to punch a wall because he has no relation to them. He, and everyone else in this thread, know that Idi Amin is a worse man, but Murray wronged him, and that causes him to become angry again at the sight of him.
'angry' may be a bit too strong-a word in this situation, but I use it to keep things clear. My latest comment was an expression of incredulity as to how obvious and therefore unproductive your comment was.

It was such obvious bullshit. Half the stuff they said didnโt make sense, and the other half...There was no mechanism. How could people ever meet in the game? There wasnโt anywhere near enough networking for that...No persistent world stuff.
No review copies was a massive glaring red flag. I never buy a game that hasnโt been reviewed. The hype train was absurd too...People going absolutely batshit when I said the same stuff Iโm saying now.
Just step back and let people learn their lesson. Itโs not worth giving them headspace.

Remember that dude who somehow managed to get his hands on a copy 2 weeks early and started posting reviews (and short clips) of the game?
His reviews were actually pretty favorable, all things considered. He did point out that he felt like it was getting a little stale a few days in and some people on the sub lost their mind and started accusing him of being a filthy liar and somehow faking his videos because he said he "got a little bored". Considering what the game actually was like, he was either very easy to please or REALLY pulling his punches on his reviews because he knew people would hate him for the truth.

Not defending what Hello Games did at launch, but if you have a look at it now. It's a lot better. People meet up (maybe not exactly the way we thought they would, but more is heavily hinted at), there is world persistence, etc. A lot of what they initially promised is in the game now.
But I do totally understand why people were pissed. Even now it's not for everyone, but it is better now.

I didn't pre-order it either but I bought into the hype of NMS early on. Thing is I usually research heavily into video games because I rarely buy games; it's just I'm too busy for that shit nowadays. When you get home from working at hospital, go to school, deal with household errands, family you just wanna knock back. Oh this game says it can do this? Yeah after a long day I'm not researching it.
Unfortunately that's how they got me. According to a lot of people who still play it, the updates/changes they made make up a lot of it that the game is actually somewhat interesting (allegedly) but the way I was betrayed I'm never touching that game ever again. It's going to collect imaginary binary dust in steam library.

I know it doesn't really matter but p2p games have almost no traffic as long as you play alone. You need to go through the code to know for sure that there is no multiplayer.
satanicpuppy ยท 3 points ยท Posted at 21:01:57 on November 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Nah, not this. You have all this ability to land and change stuff on various worlds, so you'd need the world status for explored worlds at the minimum. They didn't collect or transmit any of that crap, just the random seed.
And positional data for everyone who is playing the game? HELL no. It's supposed to be all the same world, right, but basically unbounded? A "procedurally generated universe" or whatever bullshit...So you'd need to be able to track every concurrent user to have them be able to see each other, and the space you'd have to track them in would be VAST.
They promised that stuff, and I never saw how they could deliver. I thought it was flat out impossible.
Tamaran ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 21:35:03 on November 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You could just track which solar system the players are in and connect them if they are in the same one. Thats not really much data or hard at all, since the system is basically just an ID. The game connects to the server every time you change the system anyways to pull the names.
In any case I would've been tons of work to sync up game state between players. The first player in the system would need to share his game state so that everyone sees the same world. If that player left he would need to pass that responsiblity to another player.
The whole thing would be a mess most likely. I wonder if hello games actually attempted something like this just to discover that they can't make it work. Maybe they just lied from the very beginning about the multiplayer thing.

No it's just an over hyped video game that turned out to be bad. The fact that someone wants to physically harm him over over hyping his game and not being able to meet expectations is just sad. Over hyped games, movies, and tv shows that don't live up to expectations are nothing new. The creator even got death threats which is just pathetic, a bunch of manchildren mad over a game not being as good as it was hyped to be.

I find it's best to just be a patient gamer. Too many disappointments chomping at the bit. Now I always find my money is well spent. Though for multiplayer oriented games the case can be made that it's not always possible to wait, or you'll miss out on the learning curve or meta, etc, and also people move on from games so one day it's a ghost-town if you wait too long. Even waiting a few months or so it worthwhile, heck, with games like Civ it's almost worth waiting for the first expansion before buying it. Just put it on Wishlist and wait for sales.

It's not really about that. As a father of two I rarely play games at all. I want to. Just need time and energy...
I get really excited for games I know I won't get to play for years but I might one day! I like reading the reviews, the lets plays! I can really get into things while I'm feeding baby late at night without playing. Pre-order or not they kind of built a ridiculous level of excitement for us all.
Seeing him giggling with excitement for some game he must have known was bullshit? Seems like a really cynical act now.

I heard that around the time when the controversy went down. From what I can tell, nothing has happened.

They clearly weren't done with the game when they released it. They've updated it a lot and if it was released in it's current state now, it would have been well-received I think. It still wouldn't have been what everyone wanted/expected, so I think there would have been some disappointment, but no one would have felt blatantly ripped off.
The only thing I'm not 100% sure about is the multiplayer, which was the one thing that I really needed. Not sure if that's implemented.
That doesn't excuse HG for not being honest about the state of the game at release, but it does show they care about it.
[deleted] ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:28:46 on November 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Not to take away from the thought that they probably do in fact care, it's hard to claim that they weren't also motivated by the millions of people pissed at them for the original version of the game

Be that as it may, itโs still terrible bullshit.
Maybe the publisher pushed him to release the game before features could be added. Ok, so what? He was still dumb enough to over-promise on a super-hyped game, and give a publisher control over a release date without at any reasonable point clearly stating โWe will be moving X, Y and Z features into future free DLC/updatesโ.
Basically heโs trying to do damage control for a series of horrifyingly awful decisions that were 100% made in the pursuit of money. And heโs doing it because at some way-too-late point he started thinking โOh fuck me, I will never be able to release another game again or get any publishers to touch me because of how badly I just fucked up.โ
Donโt forget any of that. If anything, heโs the guy that cheated on his wife and only now realizes that heโs about to lose all his friends, family, house and a huge chunk of his equity, and so is making a pathetic attempt to โfix thingsโ, not because he wants to be a better person, but because heโs terrified of there being actual consequences for his bad behavior (which AFAIK he still blames on others, and isnโt taking real responsibility for).

See thats where your wrong. I will sell all my worldly possessions and travel to Tibet. Wander around the mountains searching for a true master to teach me the path to enlightenment. I will toil and practice day in and day out for years without counting. Distilling every atom of my being to a zen and peaceful state, at rest and one with the very currents of the universe themselves. After many many long ages of silent contemplation I will untether my spirit essence from this mortal coil and ascend to the realm beyond where my real search shall begin. Transversing the untold trillions of souls, picking amongst the lost the found the wayward and the damned I shall grow ever closer to finding my one true purpose left in the realm of my existence as both light and dark. And on the fateful dawn, the very pinnacle, the zenith of my perfection, I shall lay my glowing, ethereal hand upon the equally shimmering effervescent shoulder of the focus of my search, softly clear my shimmering, translucent voice box and shout in perfect, rapturous harmony SURPRISE MOTHERFUCKER!!! and cold cock Idi Amin square in the fucking face.

I played it a fair bit (66 hours) about two months ago. It's alright, but I wouldn't really recommend it to my friends.
The start, assuming you're not playing on the easiest setting, is pretty fun. You really feel you have to figure out how to survive on a hostile planet, find cover from the elements, and trek across the landscape to get to your spaceship. As soon as you get to your spaceship it turns into an endless grind for very very minor progression though.
There's some quests you can do. They take a good while to get done, but the story is not great and the payoff at the end is pretty low.
Everything is procedurally generated, which generally (and in this case especially) means everything is the same everywhere with minor variations. Once you've seen one instance of a planet type you've seen them all, and once you've seen a planet in general you can pretty much guess what the others will look like. (Ice planets are blue with rare ice crystals, toxin planets are green with rare toxic mushrooms, fire planets are red with rare fire plants, etc.)
That said, it's a nice relaxing grind, there isn't much difficulty, and the progression is so slow that you'll be working towards some goal for a lot of hours. All in all: not bad when you just want to relax, and not something I'd recommend to others because "non-challenging relaxation" isn't really what most of my friends look for in games.

Well his bluff was called and he couldn't even run, and he didn't swing. No point struggling. It's an Asian country, you could get well thrashed by a mob or police prior to arrest.
He didn't even deny the guard from applying pressure on his windpipe. The quicker he subdues and bends the knee, the quicker the guard moves on from choking to actual arrest protocol.

Survivor superfan coming in! This is from Season 17 (Gabon). The two girls, Corinne and Sugar, were surprised with the boot, as they see the other tribe coming in for a challenge. Corinne was in an alliance with the boot (Marcus) and Sugar was kind of. As a viewer, Marcus had the best edit until his boot, many people calling him as the frontrunner. Matty (middle) was delighted because his allies in the other tribe did unthinkable and booted someone whoโs a huge challenge asset.
This season is a prime example of a clusterfuck Survivor season, with people you wouldnโt think would reach the end reaching the end.
Of course Iโm ending this with a recommendation to watch the show. Seasons 7, 10, 15, 18, and 28 are the top recommendations of r/survivor if you donโt want any returnee players.

Edit: For fans looking for more, the actors playing Rafi and Andre have a podcast How Did This Get Made?, where they watch and shit on bad B movies. It is legit funny and Jason Mantzoukas is probably the funniest person on the planet. A bit heavy on the ads but the chemistry is great and the jokes are on point.

Like there is a trend lately of shorter 10-13 episode seasons that I love. It keeps things more concise and focused. They also tend to be complete stories for the most part meaning you don't get a cliffhanger when the show is not renewed.

Having lived in Beijing and Xi'an for half a year, I can say that they're pretty much correct. I personally found that there are three "levels" of quality you will see in China:
The first is very high quality, and comes from the high standards and restrictions seen in countries like Germany or Switzerland. The second is decent quality, and is the kind of stuff you would find at a Walmart or Target. The third is poor quality, and while it may look like the same quality as the other two, it will fall apart or break very easily.
Lots of things fell apart if you touched them, like shower heads, end tables, etc. The news at the time was talking about how construction companies had been cutting corners by mixing river sand into their cement to save money, and it was going to result in the quick deterioration of many large buildings in Beijing.
China is an OSHA nightmare, with little to no regulation going on to ensure quality or safety of facilities, factories, structures, etc.

That's hard to say, really. That's what people forget. China was at famine level of poverty not long ago. With that kind of poverty, what you trade off for better work safety or air quality is not some cars or clothes (as we're used to in the west), but someones dinner or house. Every safety feature or environmental protection slows economic growth, and the lack of economic growth in a country as poor as China was (and is, someplaces) can be translated directly into not just lost quality of life, but loss of life itself.
Europe was like this once.

That's a poor analysis, it wasn't governmental quality safety that was keeping people poor and underfed, it was an unstable, corrupt, and even further flawed government system. They were poor because they didn't give a fuck, except for the ideological face of the government.
You're making it sound like the things you mentioned were actually in place and functioning well before. Which isn't true, they are just as corrupt as before, they just want the country to make more money, still at the expense of the people.
Qwernakus ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 06:52:45 on November 30, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
The reason they were poor doesn't matter to my analysis. If any poor country wants to get richer fast, they can't have as good safety and environmental protection as a country that is already rich. It slows down growth. The trade-off is worth it for us in the west, but not for everyone.
Ricky_Robby ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 07:03:27 on November 30, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
You're implying that someone the safety standards they had in place was somehow keeping them from progressing and loosening them helped them grow faster. Which isn't the case.
Environmental and safety standards were a non-factor in the growth of their economy because they didn't exist to begin with.
Qwernakus ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 13:34:08 on November 30, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
No, quite the opposite. I'm arguing that if they had had obligatory safety standards, it would have left them worse off.

Communism doesn't mean shit has to be highly regulated, it only means that profits are redistributed by the government, ideally spent for the good of their country and society as a whole. Plus they have never been fully communist just as capitalist states aren't ever straight free markets. They have of course pushed market economics more and move towards manipulating industries from within the industry to grow their economy and industrial base against the older views of trying to regulate supply of key industries and hope people respond logically.

If their building falls down in 20 years, killing everyone inside, they can just sue the construction company.

Look, if people want proper cement for their buildings they can just start their own cement factory.
Market forces will ultimately decide what's good by making the best choice (ie the cheapest/most profitable choice). There's no liability anyway because the whole thing has been outsourced to a fly by night construction company that will dissolve (and reform) as soon as construction is finished.

Also, the โChinese quality for Chineseโ goods seem to get exported to the poorer countries as well.

The quality is not usually on the same level as the Chinese-made stuff we get in the US or Europe.

I feel like there are easier ways to get thrown in jail than taking a cleaver to a bank. I mean that seems like the way that would get you shot or the shit kicked out of you. If the end goal is to go to jail just whip your dick out and run down Main Street or whatever it's called in your town and pee on people. Taking a meat cleaver to a bank seems like a stupid way of going about getting arrested... Although I guess if your life goal is to be a prisoner you may not be too bright to start with.

I don't know about elsewhere but it's not uncommon for homeless people in the US who are really down on their luck to commit some sort of petty crime with the sole intent of going to jail/prison. In their minds it's still a shitty situation, but they get 3 meals a day and a safe place to sleep at night so it's a step up from their current predicament.

Yes it means nothing. Your sense of achievement you feel for it isn't unique. That you've taken on debts isn't exceptional, it's par for the course for the vast majority of people.
Privilege is a stupid concept and whatever tripe you've been exposed to to make you think anyone with spare brain cells to rub together wants to read or hear you talk about it should be put in the trash, along with your political views (no i don't care what they are either) and whatever feeble bullshit you try and string together to respond to this.

People starve to death in every country every day, jackass. China is one of the most modern places that I've lived in, certainly more modern than a lot if American cities. It's not all rice paddies and farmers and people aren't just dropping like flies. If you want to talk about checking privilege it's time you checked yours. You have no real concept of other cultures, you've just read about it on the news and heard some second hand information, and saying that everyone there is so desolate and starving that prison is a better alternative is pretty racist tbh. Source: I have lived in China for years, speak the language fluently, have a Chinese wife and know the actual culture as well.
In the future, maybe do some research before acting pompous and calling other people out for being ignorant, it makes you look pretty foolish when you don't actually know what you're talking about.

When I was in High School I worked at a all night self-serve gas bar. After 11:00 pm you locked yourself into a small glass booth and were not supposed to open the door for any reason before 6:00 am when the day crew came in.
One night a guy tried to rob me with a small kitchen knife. He kept telling me to open the door so he could stab me.
At first I thought this was a bad joke gone too far but then I realized just how fucked up he was and that he was serious.
I wrote down the plate number on his car and told him I was calling the cops.
He kept telling me to open up so I could get stabbed. At this point I lost it and broke down laughing, almost pissing my pants.
I called the cops as he took off without paying for the $10 worth of gas he pumped.
The cops came by the gas station about an hour later and told me they had chased him for some distance before he crashed into a mailbox, got into a fight with the cops before getting hauled away.
With all the other paperwork the cop asked me not to file a report on the stolen gas. I agreed only to find out later that without a police report the $10 came out of my pay.
It was totally worth $10

It's always best to use the least amount of force necessary to subdue someone. If this guy had been shot I wouldn't have had a problem with it but at the same time I'm glad they were able to subdue him without killing him or hurting him too badly.

As evidence by this video, it certainly isn't necessary. A civilized approach would be to use the least around of force necessary to subdue, instead of using the slightest threat of violence to justify lethal force.

This was a fortunate outcome.
If the guy decided to go berserk and start swinging when the police officer approached him, I have a funny feeling your perspective would quickly change.
Yes - because when some brings a meat cleaver into a bank, the first though running through your head should be โhow do I keep things civilized in this situation?โ You always want to make sure that this is your first reaction rather then โhow do I protect the innocent civilians around the disgruntled guy with the meat cleaverโ.
Obviously, different situations call for different methods.
But to say lethal force isnโt justified for someone bringing a deadly weapon into a bank..is literally insane.
Sorry, thatโs not how it works.
Everything civilized is off the table when you consciously decide to threaten the life of someone else with a weapon.

They would be incorrect. There are a multitude of close range non lethal weapon to deal with things like this.
Shooting and killing a guy who hasn't harmed anybody is excessive force especially if they can be easily stopped with another method.
Now if an officer was stuck at a distance and the guy was about to cleave someone then maybe shooting them would be justified.

A meat cleaver isnโt sufficient to kill someone? Interesting.
Iโve heard otherwise regarding decapitations and machete attacks in Europe..there were quite a few that fell under that category.
Sure - a man armed with a meat cleaver making threats around lots of civilians is no threat at all! We should just assume the man who was insane enough to initially make the decision to bring a meat cleaver into a bank has absolutely no bad intentions whatsoever, and is most likely not a threat.
This same retarded logic is why so many people are getting murdered in knife attacks over in Europe.
Itโs really easy to point fingers and say this shit when youโre not the person about to get stabbed.
Kintrai ยท 2 points ยท Posted at 01:48:45 on November 30, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
On your first point, practice reading comprehension. I said there are non lethal weapons to deal with stuff like this. At least try to not make yourself look like an idiot if you're gonna insult someone.
Furthermore, you are using arguments that are mostly irrelevant to the point I was trying to make.
Also, that "retarded logic" you are talking about has nothing to do with why so many people get murdered by knives in Europe. I would assume well over 99% of the murders by knives happen when there is no police around and nobody who can stop the murderer until after the damage is already done. I would say a VERY miniscule amount of murders in Europe could've been stopped if lethal force was used instead of non-lethal.

If you're trying to attack someone's character, it usually helps to provide actual evidence of your accusation rather then just building a straw man.

And lastly, how is it not hypocritical?
You throw out "I'm at work" as an excuse for why you "can't type quickly", but when I say the same thing for why there was a misunderstanding earlier - you can't accept it.

Well I'm not really against guns that much, but in the US the robbers would have access to firearms. In a lot of Asian countries, gun violence isn't a thing because of very strict regulation (I believe the tight regulations specifically surround bullets and ammunition; not the actual firearms).
So when you compare massive drug trafficking era epidemics from Asia to America, Asia gangs fought with like bats and knives while America waged war spraying guns.
Now I do support the right to bear arms and all but it's pretty fucking clear here. This scenario in USA would have ended tremendously different; violence would be pretty likely. This meat cleaver guy could have hurt someone but he would never be able to kill like 10-20 people in under 30 seconds.

I mean it's to show I'm not a biased gun-hating guy just looking to bash on gun laws in America any chance I get. It's to show I recognize the "cause-effect" of the "right to bear arms" and that comes in the form of violence. Like yeah our cops are better equipped to deal with violence... but that escalation of violence would never have been achievable had it not been for such a lax and careless approach on gun restrictions.

Honestly whenever I see a jacket full of weapons like that, I wonder how feasible that kind of thing really is. Isn't it just better to have like 1-3 blades that are just really good at what they do instead of like 30?
Like I have a hair stuck on my t shirt and that shit stabs me all day and it bothers me. There's no way this jacket is viable when you're actually doing physical activities like running around and beating people and killing them.

I don't understand how this was ever going to be a robbery. Pretty sure the cleaver wouldn't have done shit against the glass barrier so unless he was planning to cut random customers up until they gave him money, I don't see what the threat was.
He seems too casual to be planning to hack people up though.
It's all very weird, perfect for the sub I suppose.
obscuredreference ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 18:25:05 on November 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Itโs possible he prepared terribly badly and didnโt know there would be glass. Or maybe he thought it would be threatening enough that theyโd give him the money out of fear he might hurt the customers.
Maybe the phone call was โhey dude, it got to the bank but thereโs glass, Iโm doing it anyway, what should I do differently?โ

Well not sure about China but in the old days in America (probably still do today) homeless people or desperate people tried their best to get arrested and locked up so they'd have a stable/warm place to stay where they get fed and medical check ups during the colder seasons.

Okay, today's the day. I'm going to press my super scary glass-cutting cleaver against the window and hope the teller is scared out of her mind (and totally doesn't laugh and point at me). I won't ask for the money...not yet...just let them gaze at my powerful weapon. If there's anyone at the counter, I will smile pleasantly and call them a cuntface so they leave. Now is where I get on the phone... I will show them how important I am. I do not have time for their stupidity. Once they see how casual I am, they will hand me....nay...they will HURL their money, panties, and jewelry at me.

Okay but can we talk about how expertly this whole situation was handled by all involved? Sure the girl in front of the booth could of gotten out of there sooner, but I'll chalk that one up to her being in shock before booking it. Either way she gets a pass from me. The guard however instantly positions himself as a threat and makes it clear if he tries anything that he'll get beat. Not only is he making sure the guy knows what'll happen, but if he tries anything than he's making sure everyone else in the area is at least not his first target thus giving them time to get away safely. And then the guy next to the knife welding idiot just instantly grabbing the guy the second he's distracted, making sure the guard can get the knife out of his hands, and then taking his ass down. Overall A+ all around.
Except for the robber. You fucked up hard yo.

Same here, I thought it was a note also. Second time around the situation made a lot more sense. Brave security personnel.

Unless you're a liscensed armed security guard, basically you just watch cameras/people and if anything actually happens you call the police and wait, mostly without any actual training of what to do in such an event either.

Well to be fair, having to disarm a potential assailant by hand and your only weapon is a baton stick forces you to take creative measures; the measure he took meant they didn't even need to confront him with a baton. They just had to disarm him and take him down. In the US, it can be "Oh my god your dog was barking so I got scared and shot it" type of reaction from cops. And Asians get called out for being bitches in American culture.
Also it's likely this guy wasn't actually trying to hurt anyone or actually rob the place. He probably just wanted to get arrested. I'm not sure how that translates in China but in America, people (mainly homeless or poor people) used to get arrested on purpose so they have a place to sleep during winter, get medical checkups, food, and just escape from life if they are desperate; maybe freshly divorced or some major family drama.

Yes I agree. I mean what I am saying is pure speculation. It's also more likely the guy had mental issues or probably was on drugs. This means he could be impulsive and posed a threat to people around him. Even if he seems passive, you have to subdue the guy... THEN get answers afterwards. One of the few times you punch first and ask questions later.

I'm assuming this guy is high as a kite. His demeanor is wildly inappropriate given the situation, and he seems to have no executive function. A random phone call is just as urgent as the robbery he's currently committing. Then he didn't even manage to resist the security guard ambling over to beat him.
JIsrael180 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:21:15 on November 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I believe the phone call was just him pretending to be on the phone so that other customers would not be suspicious . I do the same thing when walking down a street and I think someone might mug me. Fake talking on the phone so as to make myself look unapproachable and not nervous ...

People will probably downvote you but you're only slightly exaggerating. Here we shoot people running away from cops because they suspect he had a weapon.
They shoot people who have a carving knife to whittle with who are 20 feet away.
Would an American cop calmly walk up on a guy with a fucking MEAT CLEAVER and take him to the floor relatively gently?

Are you fucking kidding me'?
Both cases I mentioned were all over the fucking news... the homeless man who carved things to sell... and especially the guy running away from cops who they shot in the back and then threw their taser down near his body to claim he'd grabbed it... shot him as he was running away, as he was about half a football field away.
The videos ran CONSTANTLY for over a year.... and you are this ignorant?
You've clearly had to WORK to stay this ignorant.

Here's a link:
http://www.gofuckyourself.com
I could say "someone shot JFK" and you'd demand a link.
The video of the man being shot in the back from across a field RAN ON EVERY NEWS SOURCE FOR MONTHS, was covered everywhere, was commented on (and excused) by the US President, and was one of the major news stories of the YEAR.
And you don't know the case I'm talking about?
OF COURSE YOU KNOW THE CASE I'M TALKING ABOUT.
Fuck your link, you liar.
I'll give you the name of the victim. Walter Scott. No doubt you heard it many times, but I'm sure you don't remember it because he doesn't count as a person to you.
Now - go ahead and do what we all know you're going to do - google the name to remind yourself...
...and then come back here to whitesplain how shooting an unarmed man running away from cops from yards away was "completely justified."
Fucking asshole troll authoritarian racist piece of shit apologist.

I love how the Security guard comes up behind him, disarms him, hands the cleaver to the other officer and then takes the guy down.
If this were in North America it would have been "It's coming right for us!SHOOT!"

Know the back story before you comment. He wanted to be arrested.

That wasn't the point of my comment though. My point was the fact that the security handle it the way it should have been done. In North America it would have ended up very different.

This is why I would love the U.S. to have some gun control. I would love to see more videos like this dumbass armed with all he could find.

Iโm looking at the homicide rate for Chicago (631 this year), one of the cities with the tightest gun control in America, and the total shot (3338 so far this year) and Iโm gonna disagree with you.

You realize this is because the areas around Illinois have little gun control right?
And those straw sales wouldn't happen if we had equalized gun laws?
lolmusic0954 ยท 0 points ยท Posted at 04:40:03 on December 2, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
Surely you donโt think thatโs because criminals donโt circumvent the law, right?
That would never happen.

You need to think this through mate.
those were legally bought firearms that later got sold in a straw sale
Fewer legal sales, means that straw sale doesn't happen.
It's not complicated.
It's why we dont have a hand grenade or c4 problem.

When guns are outlawed, then only the outlaws will have guns.
sasquatch606 ยท 1 points ยท Posted at 20:57:17 on November 29, 2017 ยท (Permalink)
I didn't say outlaw guns. I just said have "some gun control". If that produced hilariously inept "outlaws" like this, I'm all for it. Also, guns are outlawed in china IIRC so why doesn't he have a gun?

Because he is a psychiatric patient who is trying to goto jail.

That guy was an outlaw, still didn't have a gun.

Because he wanted to goto jail and didn't want to start something.

That feeling when nobody in life takes you seriously. But seriously, in the US, this guy would have been shot dead by the swat team and dozens injured by be swat team.

Am I the only one being slightly disturbed by how the security guard seems to grab him by the neck to knock him out at the end... after he's disarmed? In a manner that seems dangerous and completely unnecessary? What's wrong with handcuffs? Coming from a supposed trained professional, that's more WTF to me than the random idiot with a cleaver.
edit: Ok,.. now I'm officially disturbed getting downvoted for this. You guys really don't see anything wrong with this? "Oh, violence is ok since he's a criminal"? That's fucked up.
