Politics: The Final Frontier
Probably just casting aspersions. She's taking a somewhat different approach than the others and this is a good way to vilify her.. and probably still hate from when she broke with the DNC and backed Bernie. IIRC Leferd held a similar opinion on how she should be punished.

What you did Today: The Story of you
We've been making pizzas on the grill for the last couple of nights. My wife's favorite is white pizza with thick slices of fresh mozzarella and a smattering of goat cheese, figs, black garlic, caramelized onion, and drizzled with balsamic vingeger (which I call ball-slamic and it cracks me up to no end). It smells pretty good but I've not dared to try it as I've not been able to eat much solid food for the past couple of weeks.

- What games do you have the most nostalgia for?
BattleTech PowerHits collection and Legends of Terris It was one (three) of the games that really got me into computer gaming and I followed that addiction with an online text based game that I would often dream about, in text. I still log into it every once in awhile. Followed by Civ3 because it was a game I used to get my dad hooked on computer gaming. I'll never forget the Sunday morning we were supposed to go to a movie or something and I showed him my new game and we wasted the whole day on it without realizing it was already night time. Good times. And last but not least HoMM2, sunk about a billion million trillion hours cubed on this and the sequel in both multiplayer and single player Hmm, now that I think about it all these games, with the exception of BattleTech, I played with my dad so that seems to be a common factor here.- RAND0M VIDE0 GAME NEW5
I don't care if a new game or series is created as something I'm not interested in but I do get disappointed when a series I enjoy is changed into something I have no interest in. That's not to say I dwell over it and write one man plays and do interperative dance or whatever I was into last year to share my feels with the world.- Politics: The Final Frontier
Pallets of water bottles left out in the sun is not good on its own. It starts to taste plasticy, if that's a real word. Story was that the water left out in the heat for long periods of time would start to leech toxins from the plastic. I'm not science man so I don't know if that's accurate but the taste definitely changes.- TV and Streaming: The Thread
Yep, all of the shows and movies they have availble for streaming are available to you. Also, nothing wrong with using a trial to watch what you want. Their goal is to get you in and have the rest of their content keep you beyond the free trial.- The Blockbuster Oscar Bait Movie Thread
- Baldur's Gate 3?
I meant it as another knock on Sven's knowledge of the series and I acknowledge that was low of me- Baldur's Gate 3?
Isn't it 3E and not 3.5? I thought 3.5 came out the year after IWD2 was released🤓- Politics: The Final Frontier
"Go back to " has a long history here. Maybe some of the international folks have similar things in their own countries. Words or phrases that have other much more negative connotations behind them than may appear at first glance or to someone unfamiliar. https://www.npr.org/2019/07/15/741827580/go-back-where-you-came-from-the-long-rhetorical-roots-of-trump-s-racist-tweets I've personally been told to go back to various different places usually depending on where I am in the country. Though to be fair to the racists, because everyone needs a break, I'm decently tough to pin down since my (ancient alien) ancestors are from figurative literally everywhere.- TV and Streaming: The Thread
Picard's dog's name is Number One- Baldur's Gate 3?
He said he prefers turned based so I don't think slowness or not being flashy enough is the issue but more that they don't have a lot to do. I tend to agree as my first BG character was a fighter and I hated it being such a passive experience. I ended up switching to casters because even though low level casting is pretty weak it gave me a sense of participation. I believe it was one of the things Josh Sawyer talked about in the first Pillars Kickstarter and why Pillars fighters have more to do right from the jump.- Politics: The Final Frontier
I don't favor indiscriminate mass release as I think each case should be reviewed in-depth prior to any release Also, there actually are a small number of people incarcerated in federal prisons for simple possession. It's only a misdemeanor on the first offense and even that can still get you up to a year and since I don't think the federal goverments operates jails I can only assume where they go various links and whatnot https://www.law.cornell.edu/uscode/text/21/844 https://www.ussc.gov/ https://www.bjs.gov/ https://www.drugwarfacts.org/ https://www.prisonpolicy.org/ Note: last 2 have an agenda to refrom drug and/or prison policy but they do dash the notion that prisons are overflowing with people put there for possession and do generally state how many are there for that reason Bonus link https://www.washingtonpost.com/news/fact-checker/wp/2018/04/16/john-boehners-claim-that-we-have-literally-filled-up-our-jails-with-people-for-minor-marijuana-possession/?noredirect=on&utm_term=.2f801a3843df- TV and Streaming: The Thread
I liked that one a lot too but I thought the sound was a bit weird in parts- Politics: The Final Frontier
Not sure where you're getting that https://criminal.findlaw.com/criminal-charges/drug-possession-penalties-and-sentencing.html That's just checking laws which vary quite a bit depending on where you're at. I'm not sure what your jails are like but ours are generally used to house people awaiting trial or sentencing but also hold inmates with misdemeanors and low level felonies. It's also more short term and typically no more than a year. Again, also varying depending on location. - What games do you have the most nostalgia for?
