Drove up to Frisco. Passed by it many times but never actually stopped there until today. A little crooked, just like me

Hmm, new tariffs by China and the president is trying to order private companies around because of it. I thought trade wars were good and easy to win

I'd have thought you would've swung Yang

Rihanna? Happy early birthday Hurlshot!

I was reading something about Gabbard breaking 2% in several other polls but that they didn't count because of who sponsored them rather than because of how they were conducted. Dunno how accurate that is but I'll see if I can find the article. She's also the only one I've given money to but that isn't as surprising because even though I'm not a Democrat I'm on the left of a lot of issues. Found it

Watching DogTV with my little mutt while my big mutt hides from the thunder underneath my legs

200k miles! I had under 12k after 3 years

If you just want the Berath's Blessing points you can grab the file here I know that doesn't help with the underlying issue you are having but hopefully it helps

There should be an option where you can just say you feared for your life and all is forgiven

I went from a sedan to a crossover/SUV because as my wife likes to say, I gave up on life.

This is my problem. I have no issues watching other people play games but just like real sports it's got to be something I'm interested in. Because of that I'm pretty much left with let's plays.

It wasn't the plan, of course, but that's basically how it played out. Tire had been constantly leaking so I took it in to be checked out. While I was waiting I was looking at the deals that they had going on and saw that I could get something bigger and newer for pretty much the same price. Done deal.

Tire was flat so I got a new car Now I'm eating sushi

Same problem I had when I first moved to Denver. The market was (and still is) flooded with IPAs and it took me a while to find what I liked.

I've seen it argued that Snowden is in part responsible for speeding up the rise and spread of encryption and anonymity/privacy services.

You get 10 million downvotes and you get your brain scrambled

Make love not war

Ben Irving leaving wasn't all that surprising as he was hugely unpopular during his time with SWTOR and I wouldn't be surprised if he was equally disliked by Anthem fans. Still, I wish him the best but also hope he never lands at a game or studio I care about. I don't know anything about the second guy

I do every quest. I don't repeat heroics or grind mobs, at least until I'm at the cap for alliance crates and command levels, but I've never been able to skip content. I should probably clarify, I don't skip content that's not gated by Ops and/or PVP. I play MMOs like ever expanding single player games. E: come to think of it, I think that's why I never got into WOW. My friends wanted to rush to the end game and I wanted to explore the maps and read the story, at least the first time through, and do all the quests. That's how I ended up in LOTRO, I wanted a game that was more about the journey. I'm weird that way

I created a new guy just to see how quick I could get to 70 with the XP armor set and the free bonus XP tokens they keep doling out like candy. Nar Shaddaa, maybe half way through.

I just want Mitsoda back

Made brunch for my wife. Prosciutto wrapped black figs stuffed with goat and gorgonzola cheese and sprinkled with thyme and I paired that with some rum soaked brioche French toast with brie and black walnuts. My wife said it was surprisingly very delicious. I like to experiment even though I can't eat any of it but I refused to make one more avocado toast and that's what I settled on. Speaking of avocado toast, I think I reached peak millennial today when I tried a sip of hard seltzer. Mango, wasn't bad.

No, it's more that they're just pandering during the primaries, selling themselves as more left/liberal/progressive than they actually are. Its not as if their hearts and minds actually change so pander to the base and then resume course after the nomination rather than become more moderate/centrist. And as you said the current base wants their own Trumplike candidate that doesn't really even bother trying to appeal to the other side and keeps pushing for the same things in the general that they did in the primaries. They don't want to just mark time, they want to move forward for better or worse and a more fear based approach of "I have the best shot of beating Trump" doesn't reverberate as well for them, especially with the younger and more fickle voters who want to be inspired. As to whether it would be succesful or not, who knows in the current bizarro world political landscape. But as Gromnir aready mentioned, if they can get their party to the polls they win no matter if they go far left or moderate.

Who knows. Conventional wisdom says to pick a middle of the road type to pander to the base and then pivot hard to the middle but that hasn't really been working out all that great for the Dem's since Slick Willy. They'll probably try to syphon off the Obama-Trump voters and hope that works but they might actually try to fire up their own voting base with something more than Trump bad, us less bad. It's a mystary. That's my hot take anyway so feel free to discard.

That sucks, TN For some reason my mother-in-law decided that the best place for all our grilling utensils was in the oven and that it was for the best to not tell us. Yeah, the whole house smells like burnt rubber now. My wife is livid and this isn't even the first brain scratcher that she's done in her 3 months here.
