Shadowrun Returns
I haven't played much yet but so far so good except that my mage feels pretty weak right now. Not sure how the power levels scale but for now my pistol feels deadlier than my spells. Might just drop this playthrough and go for a street sam or decker EDIT: Just encountered a weird bug that won't let me equip any armor

What you did today
Puttered around St Petersburg a bit today There are a lot more fat people here than the internet led me to believe (that they are all in the US). Don't get me wrong, there are a lot of rail thin model types mixed in as well but I was really caught off guard by the amount of overweight people. Also, everybody smokes Also, also, just found out that my company is merging and am now wondering what that will mean for me

We love celebrity and distraction I don't think it's any deeper than that really

What you did today
Just getting settled in here I tried to post something earlier because I had a few hour layover in Amsterdam but I was either too drunk or too tired to get it right. I spent most of the flight from the US sipping bourbon and playing Civ 5. As far as the whole racial purity thing my wife's family mostly identifies themselves as Russian but they are as mixed as I am. A lot of Finnish and Estonian and even a little Chinese blood in the family tree Other than that everyone has been pretty nice. Whenever I try to use the few Estonian or Russian words that I know people tend to respond to me in English and seem genuinely friendly. I didn't see much of Tallinn but we will be going back for a few days towards the end of our trip and Narva is.... different. A lot of Soviet era buildings that I can't tell apart make it difficult to navigate even though it's pretty small

My wife is from there and she hasn't been home in about a decade. Usually her folks come here and visit but this year we are going there. I wanted to detour to Finland for a couple days but we are going to Russia for a few days instead.

This George Zimmerman thing
If I had to guess I would say it's probably because he doesn't really have anything to lose by it The people that will get the most upset about it are probably the people that don't support him anyway

Arabs are generally considered white as well The point I was trying to make earlier is just that Hispanic isn't a race but a pretty diverse cultural group- The general spatulas thread!
I have to agree that plastic is where it's at. I also prefer a rounded spatula with rectangular perforations like this I don't want no 'splodey spatulas though Don't put me in a box, man... unless that box has guns, spatulas, and hot women. In which case, you can go ahead and put me in that box- Dragon Age: Inquisition

That really sucks about not getting a job because of a credit report I think they ran one on me when I started working for "The Man" and I work for an advertising and marketing company and my job has nothing to do with finances. I do have a corporate card but that didn't come until a year or two later. Speaking of work, our CEO just announced a short work day tomorrow because it's hot outside.- The general firearms thread!

It may just be a big misunderstanding I know whenever someone asks me if I'm a god I always say yes in the off chance they may be Gozer the Gozerian- Shadowrun Returns
I'm still really curious about how that all went down behind the scenes I still have 1 more key if you want it- Kids react to interracial Cheerios commercial controversy
How are things in South Africa? Are there a lot of interracial couples/families? Growing up where I did in Arizona there weren't a lot of us- Shadowrun Returns

I have an extra key if anyone needs one and isn't opposed to Steam- The funny things thread

The city of Denver has an "assault weapons ban" and has for almost 25 years but it's legal in the rest of the state. The law was changed somewhat a few years ago and removed the list of guns that were explicitly prohibited to a more vague definition of "All semiautomatic action, centerfire rifles with a detachable magazine with a capacity of twenty-one (21) or more rounds." There is a lot of discussion but no clarification on if that means that you can own it as long as you don't have magazine that can hold 21 or more rounds or that if the rifle has commercially available magazines capable of holding more rounds then it is banned. I know that sounds stupid but it really is being debated and I don't want to chance anything even if it's not being actively enforced as the fine goes up to $1000 and you can spend up to 6 months in jail. The new state laws passed this year limit magazine sizes to 15 rounds, require universal background checks and charge gun owners the cost of the check. I don't know how long the magazine restriction will last though because it's already being challenged and often called an unenforceable feel good law
