quidproquo

Take your point, being more informed than me beyond doubt, but will cite: "[a]ctually true for modern armies altogether, but the degree is notable." It's the degree to which outlay goes to support that goes beyond its role as support. I would also note that planes, ships, and other combat platforms are, indeed, front line equipment and troops and those outlays are still considerable. Finally, support that actually puts amoured carriers or the like on the field is probably not what's under attack by those right wing bogeymen.. It's your country, mate. I'm just a man watching how things go. I wagered with a snarky lot about this election and so I have to keep up on it to where it all falls. Would say that you'll have to live with the decision, but all of us will no matter where we live. To me, the right wingers have some good points. Not all good, mind you, but some good. See MothTrumpra as a colourful, crass, and quite mad. Absolutely bonkers.

Good thing the left doesn't cherry pick data. (snicker) Truly, unless particualrly egregious don't see what's wrong with either side cherry picking the data. The data that those right wingers pick might just be convenient, probably is, but it might also be the data that concerns them the most. They try to spin, but they probably believe their spin. Not just leftist apologist, the right also. Don't know the ins and outs of the US defense budget (who are we trying to fool, it's the war budget), but I know that most western countries spend buckets more for support than actual front liners. Actually true for modern armies altogether, but the degree is notable. There is some argument as to where the line should be drawn, but opportunism in the support ranks has been rampant in armies for centuries. Even people who want to reduce the defense budget want the remaining budget spent better, and those are grounds for sober discussion. If the argument is that the US, and the rest of the world, is better off or safer because of BHO, then it's a bad argument. A look at its face tells you otherwise. Does the right go beyond the measure attacking him? To be certain, but the left and the leftist apologists go beyond the same measure defending him.

Perhaps not a gotcha question, but nonetheless useless. What if the question were about Alavus? Unlikely that it will be the so-called epicenter of refugees soon unless Russia invades again. But what if it is the source of global strife or importance? Even Hillary, with over half her life in and around government probably doesn't have much information at hand for the city. She'd be given the facts and the important thing wouldn't be the name of the city. Important thing would be her decision. Important thing would be her advisors and her ability to understand and consult with her military and political advisors as to the best way to resolve the problem in Alavus. Johnson didn't look good and that looks to be his fault from over here. Don't matter, still a bad way to conduct an interview. Maybe it's useful to give a surprise test to the candidate. Maybe next time the interviewer can ask him how to spell St Asaph and how to increase the population there. He can get partial credit for having at least half an answer, but the spelling of Maastricht isn't and shouldn't be what keeps the president of the US up at night. Don't much like Johnson the more I hear about it. What used to sound clever now sounds smug and he's more concerned about pot than real policy as it sometimes looks from over here. Whether I like Johnson or not is unimportant. Getting kith of him should be. At least for Americans voting in the election it should be.

So lame it's brilliant! Watched it twice. Guffaw funny watching the young lady take a deep breath. Sex sells in any age. Ezren is my go to guy in both card and electronic game. One more reason to lurve the trailer.

Funny! Not usually much for looking at pixelated buttocks, but the artist took real care fashioning hers. Never played FO4, tho, so I don't know if there are other things that stand out in the game. If the lady hind quarters are the outsanding features, can't be a good sign.

personally despise gotcha questions no matter who gets them. like the man said above, bad way to interview. Some value probably just to see how fleet a candidate is on his feet, but the President of the US won't be faced with problems in this manner. He'll be briefed and then make a decision. Salient points will be made known. The sole criterion whether the candidate knows the first name of the Swahili ambassador to the Sudetenland, then HRC is your brand. Judgement they all seem daft. Integrity then Johnson and Stein have the fewest bones rattling around in their closets. Maybe just hid the bodies better.

Thought I was over the top, mate. This made me laugh out loud. I should post this on social media if I could figure out how to do that. My test? If you wouldn't say it to your fellows at home, don't go abroad to say it to everyone else.

Defeatists sicken me. Tired of hang dog enlightened people who pretend that wisdom means running down your own nation. Make fun of the men who say that every election is the most important of their lifetimes. They're better than the men who say that no election matters at all. Even if the election doesn't matter, there's no lot for men but to act as if each does in the hopes that it may be. Where is that stoner from previously in this thread? Great time to talk political philosophy. Never done the gange myself, but hear tell that I seem like I do a lot.

Cheers, you witch hunter bastard! Failed on the first campaign mission in my game. Didn't lose any of the band. Already did over half the scenario requirements. What happened? missed on two 95% attacks in a row, then three 72-85% attacks in a row and the rat bastard impressive had my vital character, the man who's the merc Bertha, going ass over **** down into the sewage. Good news is that the lead doesn't ever take permanent injuries far as I kin and none of my people went down. So it's just starting again when I want. Waiting for the caster to have something worth a damn before I start again.

Looks like that slug threw up a purple deathstar. I remember playing Zelda. It was a side scroller and you had to shoot blades out of your sword, I think. Once I got used to it, it wasns't all that hard to finish. That must have been thirty years ago.

So arse deep in the Grimdark, but I love the 40K universe. Played with a gent who used the Avatar of Khaine every chance he got. Notice that it's all about the Empire in these clips. Any chance some of the others get some polish?

This happened with me with the Dragonlance novels. Horrible. Loved the SSI games and side material used for games, tho. I even liked the back story and campaign setting back then. Just couldn't abide the books. I've only played the first witcher game. It wasn't terrible, but not good enough that I've purchased any of the others. One of those titles that I see and think about buying for half a second and then shrug and go on to other things.

Can't bring myself to put too many French phrases into my already lacking English. I'd say that Hillary Clinton's health seems like a minor issue. Some people probably vote for her in the hopes that she keels over and Khaine takes over early in her presidency. Worked for Mr. Camelot, I think. Maybe not him, but LBJ. Course that's assassination and no one in his right mind wants to see the president assassinated.

yes. Well. Try to look clever and come across as a Git. This talent at least serves to amuse those in my company.

Always thought it stood for a former name usually before a taken name in marriage, but I'm not too swift.

Last CoD I played was Modern Warfare, but unless you're a real CoDephile, it seems to me that you could get two games for the price of the one and getting a remake of a game you've already played, even if you enjoyed it, seems unequal as a payoff. Damn it, man! Beat me to the punch.

Hard to get people to learn to trust you, live with you peacefully, and understand your worth and value when refuse to integrate with them. Black students at uni have the right to associate with whom they please, but the school shouldn't segregate institutionally. Race politics seem back in the US and bad as they've been in decades. Cal State safe spaces. Probably won't mean anything for the election, but Trump isn't the problem. He's the symptom. Problem is the poison in the well and people kicking off from drinking the Kool-Aid made from it.

I'm thinking about going back to Solus. It's kind of empty and a bit boring, but that smoke monster beastie is interesting. I don't know if the game is horror, survival, or if it just takes a long bit to get to the fighting. Meanwhile, I'm enjoying my merc band. Those archers are the bee's knees! My mainstays with the sisters was concentration of force and outlasting the villains with healing circles and rotating warriors in and out of close combat. Mainstay with the mercs, at least in early running, is pepper the villains at range before they close.

If rude and offensive were disqualifiers, Trump wouldn't be in the race now, mate. If dishonest and scheming were disqualifiers, Her Royal Secretary of State, nee Senator, nee first lady, nee Hillary Rodham Clinton, nee Hillary Clinton, nee Hilary, nee etc. ad nauseam so forth so on, would not have made it past the primaries against that old man who ran against her. At some point, if Trump actually goes after the black voters in the inner cities, he might make headway. Not with blacks in the inner urban centers or the wasteland outer urban neighborhoods, but with the black population in general. Making a pitch to black Americans in the inner city develops gravitas that could serve him, even if there's ample evidence that he's not entirely sympathetic. News reports here range from acting like the man's Hitler to the man's a clown, but don't matter. What matters is what the voters of the USA want.

Oh yeah! One of my sisters got Lad's Got Talent because she did so well as a henchman. I'd rank her right behind the maxed matriarch and maxed purifier making her the third most valuable warrior in the band. In some scenarios, she was the best person I had in the band. Need to do that with a longbowman. Imagine the death he'll rain down!

Or win reelection to the white house and the wife allowing mockery of the marriage would be the frontrunner for the same office decades later. At least Bubba didn't have much to with gaming. His VP and his wife did have a thing or two to say about music, tho. Dapper Gore and sex scandals not all that important compared to the shady dealings going on with the Clintons far as I kin.

Melkathi inspired me to share a picture of my current warband. Not as snappy as the witch hunters, but get a kin of all those arrows!

First RPG I owned was Dungeons and Dragons. I had a pale blue monochrome colored (not dark blue) book that predated the red box/red covered basic edition. The first one I played with people may have been Gamma World, though. Either that or Dungeons and Dragons. First game I played with others would have been 1980 or 1981 if I remember right. I've played a lot of RPGs over the years. I played Paranoia with a group for a while, Dungeons and Dragons, home brew games with friends, some sort of vampire game, and many others. The vampire game was short lived and I personally boycott all vampire centric things now, be they shows, movies, games, books, or people. Vampires as part of a larger campaign are still okay. for now. If only there were time and everyone lived closer together, I'd still play regularly, but no time.

Who's this Kaepernic? Didn't he create a model of the sun and moon or something? I thought he was dead. Heard some guy say something one time like Let the foolish talk so they may be answered. It's like the laws in countries against hate speech. Denying speech doesn't kill ideas, just drives them underground. In today's world, underground in't all that deep, either. Those ideas broil and churn underground with no one clear voice and thus there can be no cohesive answer other than generalized attacks on the idea itself that become opportunistic attacks on political opponents. All this shadow-boxing with racism and anti-policism or what have you is what ended you up with Trump as a major candidate. If someone says the civil rights act were misguided, he'd be bum rushed. He could be wrong, but the only thing people would hear is that he's against the civil rights act. He wouldn't even get to give a reason and it might be a valid reason. Even if it's wrong, it might be a reason that moved the discussion of race past the chasm in the road where it's been stuck for decades. Various civil rights acts were great for ensuring equal protection under the law, equal administration of the law, and equal access to public locations and services such as schools. But perhaps it went too far in attacking private businesses. The idea of protecting the rights of citizens is worthy, but if the idea were to attack racism, then apparently the acts were a dismal failure. Apparently, racism still exists and it's all better if we know who the racists are. Not the wanker who tells an off-color joke out of ignorance, but the hollow souled racist who believes that some people are inferior because of skin color or sex or some other trivial difference. Increasingly, businesses that drive away large swaths of patrons will lose their custom and go extinct. Much better than forcing people to keep their hatred hidden is to create an atmosphere where their hatred is increasingly obsolete. Mere suggestion of these things makes a man prone to the charge of racism, which ends up a backlash, which is why this Kaepernic ended up so controversial for saying the earth revolves around the sun. The attacks themselves become more of an issue than simple truths calmly spoken that are a much better answer.

Odd, after the early game, where Skaven really were a threat, I can't say Skaven gave me much issues. Granted I tend to keep my Warband together. I meann, sure they hurt, but they go down so easily to the sheer attack power of the Sisters that they are hardly a threat. The Cult of the Possessed otoh can really dish out the pain and can take quite the beating as well making them the more dangerous opponents in my book (having a bunch of units that tend to ignore parry is another one that really hurts my composition). sit for long periods in a redoubt in order to make sure I get two or three on one with my sisters. Puts my warriors in close quarters and the skaven at later levels have ugly AoE attacks. Adapted by spreading out in wider ambush sites. Wouldn't work against a human more than once or twice because he'd adapt to me. Agree, tho, skaven go down like cheap hookers. Don't even need to double team. One ambush and a good attack or two and Bob's your uncle. Remember playing the table top game when it first came out. Think it was 2000 or something like that. It's great to play a FB or 40K game that only takes a couple of hours between setup and finish. It's a great game. I tried Melkathi's suggestion of witch hunters, but the same problem as always. Weaker on range than mercs and weaker on melee than sisters. Like to see Asur and maybe Bretonnia, but I don't think they were in first cut of the game. Been a long time. Did a couple of witch hunter scenarios and their dapper attire wasn't enough. Now doing mercs for the longbowmen.
