Reposting my thoughts from the El Paso thread below since I see all the action is happening here. The El Paso shooting is almost certainly a white supremacist attack (see sources below). (El Paso is 82.6% Hispanic BTW, and on the border) Dayton one doesn't appear to be motivated by white supremacy?

Christian persecution IS real by the way, we should take it seriously. I don't think it's true to the extent that sheepy's sources claim, but it 100% exists. Just don't use it as an excuse for persecuting other groups of people :v)

Fuck this shit.

I have a friend from college who lives in El Paso. She and her family shop at that very Walmart sometimes. She was literally across the street when this happened. She's fine, thank god. But it seems that she would have been a priority target if she were in the store, which makes me really angry.

You see, there's something else I want to add to this thread. As the news reports come in, it's becoming increasingly clear that this was an act of hate against Hispanic people.

An anonymous, 2,300 word manifesto went up online just before the shooting ranting about the "Hispanic invasion of Texas" and alluding to alt-right theories about "white replacement". The shooter also referenced the Christchurch massacre, in which another white supremacist, also guided by this "white replacment" shit massacred Muslim people during their prayer service.

My point is: this wasn't a random act of violence. This wasn't someone who decided to shoot up their school for reasons unknown. The shooter drove 9 hours from his hometown of Dallas to get to El Paso. They were deliberately targeting immigrants.

One last thing I want to make clear to people: there's a link between the rhetoric Trump uses about immigration and this shooting. Because guess who else loves to refer to Hispanic immigration as an "invasion?" That's right, the Donald himself. If you can't comprehend why people get angry about the words Trump uses, this is a perfect example.

Hi all,

I don't know a ton about PC builds, but I'm considering investing in a new one for professional video editing.

My budget's around $3,000 currently, and I'm looking for a computer powerful enough for smooth editing with a moderate level of special fx applied to projects that I'm working on in Premiere and After Effects. Being able to edit more plain stuff (e.g. with lower levels of fx) in 4k would be nice as well, but not required.

This page by Puget Systems seems like a good starting point to base my hardware around -- what are your opinions on the basic build they have laid out there?

Some really sexy transitions in this one, the seamless move into the smooth as the med dies at 0:53 made my jaw drop with how cool it was!

Blizzard already did
