OT: The Avalounge (mod warning - No Politics)

[redacted]

Personally speaking, if somebody is actually planning this, they're not straight in the head. We need a bunch of everything to change, harsher policies, full psyche for guns, go after the black market at a more unrelenting level, and hell arm administrators (no idea should go under the table at this point). But you can't underestimate the psychological aspect of the human's drive to kill, people will always find other ways. Just look at what happened in Japan, no gun policy and dude burned down an anime studio.

Yeah I'd say it is pretty obvious they aren't right, but they can't get help here and along with that a stigma has grown that if you do seek help, your guns are in danger. My brother in law is in that group. Big time gun owner, and frankly the dude is a bit out of his mind. He's afraid to see any mental health professional because they might take his guns. It is a chicken/egg situation that needs to be attacked from both sides.

I think a main difference between the US and other developed countries on this is simply the ease of inflicting great damage. In the US if you're 18 or older and don't have a record... well, all the tools are there to do something terrible. Other countries have more safeguards in place.

To me, it's as simple as banning semi and fully automatic weapons altogether. As @S E P H said, people will find ways to kill regardless, but it's infinitely more difficult to have mass killings when it's just a rifle, handgun or shotty. Besides what the constitution humpers down south think, no one needs automatic weapons. I don't care if it's fun. And our right to bare arms under the constitution was was when we had f***ing muskets and had just exited a revolution. That shit isn't relevant anymore.

Anyways, I really don't think background checks are going to make all that much difference. As we've seen, most of these shooters are young, troubled youths that may or may not have any record of mental instability or violence.

Ban all guns. There is no point to them in life. Nobody can convince me otherwise.

I’m going to come to Colorado for a finals game, my first ever in Colorado. Could anyone help me out with ticket pre-sale and what not? I know they release tickets to the general public and I’ve been waiting my whole adult life and entire hockey watching life for this.

LETS GO AVS!!

I’ve been tossing around the idea, too

 

[AvalancheFan19]

Same as Perratrooper I'm debating this as well. I am assuming Stanley Cup tickets will be very expensive. In Denver is there a square everyone goes to watch on a big screen outside? Any suggestions opposed to buying tickets which I assume will cost $1,000.00 per ticket at minimum?

Thanks in advance!

Edit: I also saw fans in the stadium for away games. How much does that cost if anyone knows? I'd just love to be with a bunch of Avs fans for a few days during this time!!

 

[Pierce Hawthorne]

Yeah, I've been debating a trip to the WSOP the last couple of weeks as well, Avs making the finals makes the idea of doing a trip to Vegas with a quick 2 day stop in Colorado for game 1 or 2 a lot more appealing. Have to see what happens in the next 10 days I guess and see if I can run the online poker bankroll up enough.

The away game stuff was only $10 a ticket. That would be fun as well for sure.

This is the link I was given in a Email the Avs sent out after beating the oilers. Looks like it has to be through ticket master.

Also the cheap seat are going to be 1k+ with fees.

That's unreal. I wonder how hard those tickets are to come by now that we're in the finals.

Awesome thanks! I’ve signed up for what I believe is pre-sale and just hope I can buy it directly from ticket master!

With that being I’m ready to blow $2-3K on this trip.

I would absolutely try that if they had it in Colorado. Quesoritos are God damn delicious.

 

[AvalancheFan19]

Trying to determine the trip. When it's likely this playoff round will start and last until the 25-26th weekend of June? I suppose the TBL/NYR series is going to 6 games for sure and potentially 7.

There's no way that's true. We bought tickets to TBD game 2 before the Oilers season even ended through Vividseats...

I'm really not sure. That was just the link that the Avs emailed me.

Just because they're promoting it doesn't mean tickets haven't been available for purchase earlier. It's just most people don't buy tickets to games they have no idea when or if it's actually going to be played.

 

[sethro109]

Have any of you guys tried messing around with Dall-E? It seems like it'll be amazing and terrifying in the future. It's an AI that draws pictures of things you tell it. I told it to draw "Goku in a sombrero" and "Mario eating Pizza" these were the results.

Tix for Ball Arena when the Avs are away are $10 each.

Question - were tickets to season holders near 1K originally at list price? Or is the the 1K the resale price people are asking now?. Im curious as to what the original price was for upper and lower bowl?

I see tickets for $1900 as "Standard Admission" on ticketmaster and then the whole giant list of Verified resale

... Literally watched that a few days ago. Then went down a bee rabbit hole. Did you know that it's only the females that sting because the stinger is a part of their sex organ? And that there's a segment of the male bee population that does nothing but stand around waiting to be f***ed by the Queen? Aka Jorah Mormont? What a life.

My season ticket that I've paid for all year is 106(section 369). STM's got a presale a couple days ago for extra tickets and tickets in 369 would've been 550. The resale is putting them over 1000+.
