  1. I've already started my second viewing of the year. I just got some visiting family members on the path of the Prophets and their emissary, the Sisko.
  2. http://wilwheaton.net/2019/09/so-im-finally-watching-deep-space-nine-for-the-first-time/
  3. Needs a compliment for himself in there to sound more realistic
  4. I saw that that other "bought last" thread was closed and I couldn't find a new one. I have been drinking so my inability to find it doesn't mean it doesn't exist. I bought the new Xpac for LOTRO, Minas Morgul.
  5. I don't think holding office for a very long time is bad in and of itself but I don't think it's a positive either as I'm also not seeing how being in office for 30 to 60 years has any innate advantages. Even if we can move to 100% publicly funded elections (and especially if we cannot) I do think that term limits would still have a beneficial effect though I don't have any sort of proof to support my ideas. Ideas which are generally the same pro term limit arguments you'll find anywhere.
  6. I tend to think of them as different issues generally. Don't get me wrong, I'm all for getting as much money out of politics as possible too and I think both need to be accomplished to get any meaningful change.
  7. I think I read somewhere that the average length of time in congress is about 10 years so I'd probably cap it at no higher than 20 years. Though I'd also be for letting terms that would run a little longer continue on. Example would be someone with 15 to 19 years experience ( and assuming a 20 year limit) winning a senate race that would keep them in office to 21 to 25 years and they would be done after that.
  8. U.S. Military Issues Warning to Troops About Incel Violence at Joker Screenings
  9. 12 people in the next debate as Gabbard qualifies
  10. They're not all scientists and even if they were what's 500 against the entirety of all scientists who disagree with them.
  11. Not really A small anti-climate change activist group writing a letter to the UN doesn't really mean much of anything and has even less to do with the scientific consensus on the issue.
  12. Watched The Ballad of Buster Scruggs which was really great and Buffalo Boys which was not.
  13. Laphroaig is pretty good but I prefer Lagavulin 16 year. My second favorite is a blended Scotch, The Peat Monster. My wife says it smells like an old dirty sock but I say it's delicious.
  14. Is this a common problem? Really curious.
  15. David Gaider teams up with Liam Elser to launch a new studio https://www.summerfallstudios.com/
  16. I don't remember exactly what I did this last time or most of time and also just in general. I think that I used backspace over a portion of selected text or delete on my phone. I'll try to pay more attention next time but that post was definitely posted via mobile.
  17. I'm on the Kochs are evil side but I didn't want to publicly celebrate one or both of their deaths. I'm sure they maybe had some one that probably loved them who might be grieving. I can't seeing anyone defending the legacy that's been left behind though
  18. Since we haven't talked about this in a while
  19. Humble has a RPG bundle with Tyranny and PoE for $4.58 for the middle tier at the moment
