I always thought Lil Nas seemed like a good dude. I was right!

"Howdy guys, welcome back to another episode of American Truck Simulator!" 🤣

The Peterbilt 579 I drive is automatic, all the trucks in my company's fleet are 'matics. There are still plenty of manuals out on the road, a lot of owner operators have them, but the industry as a whole is definitely moving toward 'matics, at least here in Murica. I missed manual when I first got put in a 'matic. A few traffic jams later I converted to the Church of the Holy Matic.

A Hero has passed. Good Trouble.

We all have to make sacrifices so the government can give billions to businesses whose owners and operators are friends with people in the government.

As a huge fan of cheesetastic FMV games, I am definitely considering picking up Gamer Girl. I'm not sure if it can top the EPIC levels of both hilarity and cringe that Super Seducer achieved, but I'm hopeful. As an aside, how in the world was this not called Gamer Grrrl? Opportunity missed.

Screw Cyberpunk this is where it's at.

Which educated though? The ones you agree with or the ones you don't?

took us a few years to appreciate stewart copeland. regardless, perhaps metaphor o' such a successful three-member band is that sometimes less police is better? apologies, were admitted just stretching to make more police relevant in politics thread. HA! Good Fun!

One can always hope...

you don't, which is the point. while comey were still a respected director o' fbi with many years o' exemplary service and bipartisan support, he were asked 'bout gun violence statistics while testifying before Congress. comey couldn't give answers 'cause he didn't have answers. the head o' fbi did not have accurate numbers for gun violence in the US. just one example. fbi isn't what oro thinks it is, and it sure as hell doesn't manage or coordinate state and local police. folks need to learn there ain't no The Police in the USA. even americans is woeful misinformed 'bout the authority the fed has over local law enforcement practices, training, spending and activities. the intent o' US system is for police to be more direct answerable to the people who vote in sheriffs or city council/mayor elections. the further is the seat o' power from which police is directed, the greater the potential for abuse, or so believed the framers. what is to stop the Fed from sending in a national police if the issue in question is localized to portland? for better or worse, mayors and sheriffs in portland is gonna be far more sensitive to citizens o' portland than will the President or william barr. as to insurrection act, don't rely on fox. when used in past, the act has almost always been utilized by the President with approval o' a state governor, the main reason being you either need governor approval, or the activities being curtailed by the Fed need be o' a type and nature it is impracticable for states to address. is not simply a matter o' state unwillingness to use heavy-handed force which triggers. some function o' scope or type must make implausible for local to handle the matter. HA! Good Fun!

"Hah, no. He'll do whatever the wealthy people that control the purse strings want him to do. Just like every politician. " Well, yeah, and currently, most of the big power breakers are on side of the 'defund the police' mantra and ar epro BLM. Hence, why people get fired and ****canned for daring to say ALL LIVES MATTER, BLUE LIVES MATTER, or WHITE LIVES MATTER. They literally threw a black woman and a transgender person in prison because they dared to put blue paint over a BLM mural but are allowing all sorts of other vandalism. LMAO "Hmm. But if he fails to defund the police he'd be doing what the police want him to do- which would make him a Police Nazi. What a quandry." I'm not as pro police as some think I am.

Hah, no. He'll do whatever the wealthy people that control the purse strings want him to do. Just like every politician.

Eastern European drivers often have manuals, the only Swedish registered manual truck I've seen is the one that belongs to the mechanics that fixes our trailers, it's old as hell but they don't drive it a whole lot.

I actually still have my Dad's copy of The Day the Universe Changed from a PBS/KQED pledge drive. Sitting prominently next to the pledge drive copies of The Power of Myth and Civilization.

sure. we were a physics undergrad. am knowing you is unlikely to watch the whole thing, but the old connections shows were fantastic. launch angle at 8:40- ... am after the fact recognizing how our reference may be weird. is at least mildly autistic to take your launch angle comment and reference a few moments o' a tv show which likely ain't been aired, not even on pbs, since the 80s. HA! Good Fun!

Intel removed memory overclocking support from all their new budget/mid grade processors and motherboards.

Not to pick pepper from fly sh-t here but Obama WASthe one talking about a national security force as well armed as well equipped as the US Military. Remind me again what kind of gear is the US military equipped with? Of course that was back before he took office. Back when I was terrified he was a radical ideologue come to break it all and remake it in his image. The Obama we ended up getting was a run of the mill Democrat no worse than any I might name. Hell I'd trade Trump for him right now. The DHS (which should not even exist IMO) completely ignoring the law, the constitution, and 234 years of (mostly) precedent is pretty disgusting. Big Brother has always been peeking around the corner at us. Now he's out in the open laughing at us. No surprise it happens under Trump. You are right though, It IS surprising it's happening with do little outcry. The worst part is, now it's done. The next President will do it again and go even farther. #47 will go farther than that. As for me: F--k them. Enjoy your dictatorship everyone. When they come for me I will die and hopefully give a good account for myself before. Like I told you a few weeks ago. I don't know if it CAN be saved. People measure themselves for chains after all.

Oh yeah, that setup is damn impressive, it's quite the dedication to build a full sim ****pit like that! 😋

they aren't arresting people on federal property. if situation were a fed courthouse, and some jerk attacked a judge or a witness, then the onsite fps could arrest. arrest folks off fed property on mere suspicion they may have been involved in property damage o' a fed building? again, the US is not like european countries. this kinda thing is specific prohibited. try and use fps to crackdown on protesters is so beyond the pale it beggars the imagination. get a warrant. work with state authorities whose job it is to deal with vandalism and property crimes. etc. is not as if fed is powerless to do anything 'bout those who vandalize fed property which exist in States. however, to use o' dhs/fps this way is what we feared in 2001-2002, but hoped would never happen. the only saving grace is fps and dhs is having an extreme small number o' personnel, relative speaking. with current numbers, this insanity may only be taken so far. trivia: our recollection is fuzzy as to numbers, but ~1790, the fed government initiated the fps. almost as old as the fed government. purpose o' the legislation were to make possible to hire less than a dozen night watchman to protect a handful o' fed buildings.

I'm playing the most advanced version of American Truck Simulator ever made. Even Bokishi can't come close to this level of graphical fidelity. Also, let me tell you about my wheel and pedals setup; the force feedback is amazingly realistic.

The YT comments are gold already.

Ladies and Gentlemen, I think it might be good idea to stock up on popcorn, because soon, it will be among the rarest commodities on the market... And you wanna have some big pile of it at home, as Twitter will explode in September 2020...

The journey of Matt Williams: https://www.espn.com/mlb/story/_/id/29451017/from-dc-oakland-south-korea-matt-williams-career-reinvention I'd love to see him revive a career in SF. Maybe if Kapler doesn't pan out.

Sorry for the spoiler, but we already have December:

Is that much different than other areas now? Can you do so freely in Egypt? Turkey? Saudi Arabia? India (which still has some informal caste issues) China? South Afrika? Etc. Do you want to tell, that it's impossible the amass the wealth now in US and build generational wealth? Is it taken by force by someone? (other than the state taxing people on inherited wealth) Does a family of Michael Jordan suffer some mistreatment? Kardashians? Obamas? Any family that built their wealth after 60s? What about people from central and eastern EU, who've been ruined by two world wars and a USSR overlords, and started from scratch in early 90s. Why would they need to pay and loose opportunities in Western countries, because they share skin shade characteristic with colonial powers of the past? Does a median Italian or Spanish or Greek person have that much more than a median black person in UK or USA?

That is not evidence of wrong doing. That's a picture of a toilet. When I accuse BLM/Antifa/KKK/Nazis, I share actual evidence. Your FAKE NEWS just muddies the waters which, I know is your goal. Since, now we are talking about a silly toilet, not white BLmers attacking black police offciers or black BLMers mass assaulting people at the airport because they don't buy into BLM and Antifa's racism.

"but they need better security in that airport. " They were following orders. Amentep truly believes mean words = allowed to commit a multiple person on one insult. And, from I saw, at best, both sides were yelling nasty stuff. Nothing in your second video nullifies the wrongness of the assault so why spam it?

Work? Nah. No work for me because of COVID19. So, I can continue to point out hypocrisy, injustice, and BLM/Antifa/KKK/Nazi terrorists.

Just wear black, you're set either way!

Food for at least 7 days! 😂

Mostly Lord of the Things Online and Star Trek Online but I'm thinking of picking Elder Scrolls Online back up since I took a break after hitting level 50.

I didn't want Deadfire to be a direct sequel but given that it is and that it ends on a cliffhanger, I'm invested in getting a third Watcher entry to wrap up that story arc.

I would love Poe 3 .

I also agree that @claudius (from ancient Rome?) makes a valid point. It appears overwhelmingly likely that the main audience for PoE was always that group of players who sort of grew up on Baldur's Gate (or in many cases -- like mine -- even older games than that, titles such as Ultima, Bard's Tale, Phantasie and so on). Thus, it does appear reasonable to suppose that while the enthusiasm was there, it ultimately turned out that although they bought PoE, out of enthusiasm and nostalgia, they found that they had no time to play it and therefore they didn't hang around for Deadfire. I hadn't thought of this before, but it's a very good point.

It was a single class Bloodmage by the way.

I'm sure he has developed a thick skin in his 20 years of game development, but some things just have too high penetration. Some recovery time is needed.

I can only imagine the feeling of that punch in the gut: Divinity:OS sells well --> PoE sells well --> Divinity:OS II sells like hot cakes --> Josh expects the same for Deadfire --> Deadfire tanks (despite good critics). I mean that sure does hurt. It's like when I was young and doing websites for clients in my freetime and I would always include four designs: three that I really worked on and which i liked and a forth that was just trash cobbled together. And every time clients said: "Oh we like the forth one best!" Ouch...

Pillars of Eternity 2 is ****in amazing, I HOPE for a third.

Driving a truck for a living makes that nigh impossible. Okay, nigh impossible is a bit strong, let's go with extraordinarily inconvenient.

I miss Josh.
