Jacob's Ladder, since Paramount put it up on YouTube. It's an O.K. film. Both Macaulay Culkin and Jason Alexander (George Costanza) are really distracting anytime they're on the screen, though...

I'm curious about your argument as to why you think this. I'm not convinced either way yet - I feel like it's a complete tossup right now what will happen - but maybe you can convince me your way. With just the never-ending amount of bad and worse and even worse news for Hillary in regards to her emails lately, I feel much more optimistic about it now than I have in the past...so what makes you so sure?

Hey, to be fair, it's difficult to tell the difference between people lightly ribbing others or whether they're deliberately misconstruing other people's positions around here - both happen so much in these political threads, I figure I'll get a .500 batting average if I always assume people are serious.

I don't think Longknife said he was "absolutely sure". What he actually said, rather, is...too obvious to be worth the bother to restate.

Reset all my passwords because of the Team Viewer security breach. Bah, humbug.

Yep.

http://www.pcworld.com/article/3077432/components-graphics/polaris-confirmed-amds-200-radeon-card-will-bring-high-end-graphics-to-the-masses.html "In a livestream from Computex in Taipei, AMD announced that the Radeon RX 480 will be the first graphics card based on its forthcoming Polaris graphics processors. And get this: The Radeon RX 480 stands ready to deliver performance equivalent to what today’s $500 graphics cards offer, as first reported in the Wall Street Journal earlier today. That’s roughly in line with the Radeon R9 390X, GeForce GTX 980, or air-cooled Radeon Fury. But here’s the real bombshell: The Radeon RX 480 will cost only $200 when it goes on sale on June 29." Hmm...I'm liking AMD's (purported) end of this much better so far...

"An average of 35% of coral was now dead or dying in the northern and central sections [of Australia's Great Barrier Reef]."

Heh, but seriously...

A redditor also suggested that he could've just said, "I don't debate losers," to begin with, and that would've been so perfectly Trump-esque (and also...not that terrible of a reason, if I'm looking at the race between Clinton and Sanders objectively) that I wouldn't have been too insulted. Oh well.

I very much agree, actually: Bernie seems to rather despise Trump, and Bernie would've never went at Hillary herself - no matter what too many of her idiot supporters are saying about Bernie trying to "damage" her campaign (which he has clearly tried very, very hard not to do this entire election cycle, even at the expense of his own campaign - just because he's not rolling over for her "coronation" does not mean he's trying to damage her campaign). I think Trump's best bet would've been to pretend the invitation never happened - accepting and then almost immediately backing out after confirming it several times on the lamest, most awful excuse paints a very different picture than what that would've done, though. He's now alienating Sanders supporters anyways.

Some choice reddit content: "Brave Sir Donald ran away, Bravely ran away, away, When danger reared its ugly head, He bravely turned his tail and fled! Yes, brave Sir Donald turned about, And gallantly he chickened out, Bravely taking to his feet, He beat a very brave retreat, Bravest of the brave, Sir Donald!"

It looks like Trump may have chickened out of debating "crazy Bernie". Too low energy, I guess - being a total pansy would do that, I suppose, . https://www.donaldjtrump.com/press-releases/donald-j.-trump-statement-on-debating-bernie-sanders Right after Bret Baier of Fox News said it would happen, too: http://www.cbsnews.com/news/fox-news-host-network-to-schedule-sanders-trump-debate-event-before-june-7/

Whoops! Yeah, you can tell I'm a great follower of these shows by the fact that I couldn't remember the difference between the two...

Funny: on reddit, they've said the last few The Flash episodes have been so incredibly awful, that the subreddit specifically dedicated to The Flash has been changed to a Daredevil-specific subreddit. :D

I am totally unsure of what this "debate" will actually look like. I have a feeling Trump may only be doing it only to try to pander to Bernie supporters - basically, to say, "Hey, at least I've shown respect to your guy this entire election race, regardless of my personal feelings on his policy positions...unlike Hillary and the rest of the Democratic party." I can see it being a much more amicable debate than you might otherwise expect on Trump's end, to try to make sure there are no hard feelings when it comes to the general election. I'm not sure how Bernie would react to such tactics, though - I imagine this debate will either look very good or very bad for Bernie, but probably not in between (and regardless of how it looks for Trump). That, or the debate might devolve to actual fisticuffs. If it actually happens, it will certainly be interesting one way or another, I imagine.

http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/05/26/trump-i-ll-debate-bernie-sanders-for-a-price.html Better source and information. It's, of course, only a verbal agreement as of now, but...

http://www.bloomberg.com/politics/trackers/2016-05-26/sanders-says-i-look-forward-to-debating-trump-in-california Not a proper source yet (this is just a reposting of the relevant Tweet) - it's pretty new news. Apparently, they were both on Jimmy Kimmel over the past two days (one of them last night, one tonight - don't know which one for which day since I'm not a viewer), and they both agreed, and Sander's Twitter account confirmed it. Both Trump's and Sander's subreddits on reddit are going completely mad (in a sort of good way?) over it.

Sanders and Trump have apparently agreed to debate one another after Hillary backed out of her promise to debate Sanders a final time.

Yikes, that State Department audit on Hillary's emails today... Well, now I actually think there's a possibility she could be indicted (no, I didn't really previously think there was much of a chance) - that, and one of the hackers that got into her email server making a deal with the feds and pleading guilty in exchange for information... It all looks pretty bad.

I remember when this story originally broke on reddit a long while back (like, probably somewhere around half a year ago) - with this and some other stuff over the last few years, it can't really be helped that my opinion of Valve has seriously bottomed out recently. (e): The quoted bits here don't paint as full of a picture as I got originally on reddit, though.

Unfortunately, the site I was using is dead now, and what you see is what you get for the time being. RIP artificial intelligence artist 2016-2016. Hopefully, it'll be back up in a few days after traffic slows down...
