Is that Hanford, CA? lol, I remember the drinking water problem there.

I just hope they eventually cast some fully Britishized actor originally out of Hong Kong… one trained in certain things Hong Kong actors are known for. I want a kung fu Doctor. :p

Semantics.

This seems like a no-brainer to me… though it probably isn’t. Obviously you have a constitutional right to sleep, wherever you can make space for yourself. If these cities and downs don’t want people sleeping outside, they need to provide indoor space for people who haven’t actually committed crimes. We treat our criminals better than we treat our homeless.

All they have to do is, instead of calling it a “law”, call it “militia regulation” instead. “Militia” is the entire arms bearing populace; if you own a gun, you are, by definition, part of the Militia. And the 2nd amendment doesn’t merely say “everyone has a gun”; it does so in context of maintaining a “well regulated militia”. All the right to “keep and bear arms” does is prevent them from requiring we store our arms in a central armory (which was one of the controversies over the matter in England when the right was in development).

I would say we also have a right to own a car. That doesn’t prevent them from requiring we maintain the capacity to bear responsibility if we should accidentally exercise that right improperly.

Because I played Dragon Quest and Zelda, I developed an unfortunate predilection for walking into strangers houses and smashing pots and vases and stuff. Took years of therapy to break that habit. :(

I still can’t even look at a barrel.

I’m pretty sure my brother reached numbers like this for Ghostbusters (TV edit) when he was a little kid.

Very midwest. Sounds like my grandmother’s jello with celery in it.

More accurate than you might think.

Donald Trump and his followers look more like Doctor Who villains by the day. I half expect them to unveil a new military unit that is vaguely salt shaker shaped.

Discomfort stimulates growth, but the actual growth happens during periods of recovery. That is true of the body, and I have little doubt it is true of the mind, as well. I’m not saying people should never step out of their comfort zone. But just like we shouldn’t be judging people at the gym because, from our perspective, they should be able to do more, we should be extending compassion to those of us who have difficulties in the mind, particularly considering we can only know our own perspective, not theirs. I mean, you wouldn’t expect a guy in a wheel chair to be doing leg presses, would you?

“I did not have sex with that woman.”

“Well, technically, college kids don’t consider a blowjob to count as ‘sex’.”

Actual libertarians should take note: their right-wing allies were never pro-freedom, just antigovernment. And their opposition to government was never based on the principle of a less authoritarian society, but rather due to the government’s role in restraining their own power and authority. Now that they see a path to their traditional role as society’s power brokers, they have abandoned their so-called “libertarianism”.

I was a Libertarian, with a capital ‘L’. I was secretary in my local party. I held signs, knocked on doors, circulated petitions, and was otherwise politically active. I was never particularly comfortable with the low-key racism, patriarchism, corporatism, landlordism, and feudal and monarchial apologism, and otherwise nongovernmental forma of authoritarianism, that always seemed to be present in the movement, in one form or another. But for a long time I figured they were an anomaly in an otherwise decent movement.

But I eventually realized that they were not the anomaly that didn’t belong; I was.

It would make for an interesting lawsuit if this agreement were active and someone who was disqualified from certain state ballots nevertheless won the popular vote. I doubt that’ll be Trump (he didn’t even win the popular vote before he tried to steal an election). But it would be interesting.

If it were my place to rule on the matter, my take would be that because the agreement was between state governments, only states who are part of the agreement have standing to pursue the matter in court. In other words, the campaign couldn’t sue over the matter, only another state government that was also part of the agreement.

In case you didn’t already know, I’m pretty sure the agreement isn’t active yet. It doesn’t activate until there are enough states with enough electoral votes to decide the outcome. To the best of my knowledge, that hasn’t happened yet.

He isn’t a Right Wing capitalist. He’s a Left Wing capitalist. The Right is feudalist.

I’ve probably seen it here more than on Reddit, but that’s because I spend more time in the general gaming community here, while on Reddit I was in the fan community specifically… particularly teslore, where “Duh, TES lore is stupid and random” doesn’t get much traction.

Would you recommend NMS to someone who:

1. Really wants to play Starfield but probably won’t have the necessary hardware for at least a year.

2. Is an old Bethsoft fan, having played, and thoroughly enjoyed, every TES game from Daggerfall to Online, excepting only Battlespire and the phone games.

3. Has been jonesing for some space sandbox for probably a decade at least.

There isn’t any onioning here. It’s just a heavily editorialized headline.

I don’t know much about specs. I just find it fascinating that people are actually defending Bethesda in this post. Where’s the standard anti-Bethesda fandumb pile on?
