  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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...
  4. 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.
  5. Sanders and Trump have apparently agreed to debate one another after Hillary backed out of her promise to debate Sanders a final time.
  6. 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.
  7. 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.
  8. 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...
  9. That was my first try. I tried my own image pattern instead of just van Gogh's Starry Night, and, well, I chose poorly. Pattern image: Result: Yeah. It also takes a while for them to work (like ten minutes), so I don't have very many yet - interested to try out more combinations.
  10. "Combining two random pictures into one using a Neural Network." https://imgur.com/a/ue6ap I made one of my own avatar.
  11. Well, I put Sadie on my ignore list after reading like two of their posts and realizing they were likely either an annoyingly young poster or a troll, but I never actually interacted with them. RIP Sadie 2016-2016.
  12. Capra Demon at SL1 on NG7 was...not quite the hardest boss I played at SL1 on NG7, but it was surely the most miserable.
  13. Inching closer and closer towards voting for Trump (vs. Hillary)... (Word of warning: guy's kind of obnoxious, has a few poor points, but manages to convey the increasing frustration I and, and presumably other Bernie supporters, have been feeling lately.)
  14. I think it's illegal to grill your in-laws, but it might be worth checking out your state's statues to make sure.
  15. Yeah. I really, really did not like all the changes they made to the combat in DS2, and while DS3 seems much closer to DS1 in that regard, it still just hasn't recaptured the magic that was playing DS1. Bloodborne did, though, and actually exceeded it - my favorite out of the Souls games.
  16. I've found that using a SSD mostly alleviates my perpetual desire to reformat.
  17. And since Trump is winning the Republican nomination and Bernie Sanders is unlikely to get so angry at the DNC he would try to run third party (if he even could)...
  18. The thing is, though, waiters/waitresses who earn their tips don't want tipping to go away, because they generally get paid at least a little better to often times a lot better via tips than they would get from the minimum wage. Depending on how the establishment handles tips, they may also not feel like reporting tips on their taxes because they feel like they can get away with it - even better for them. I think there was an experiment within the last year or so where an establishment expressly prohibited tips but guaranteed their wages - not because they wanted to eliminate tipping entirely, I'm sure, but because it's such a normalcy to tip that they wanted to make sure customers didn't feel obliged for no reason (presumably, after our tipping culture has changed to only tip for exceptional service, they would've let customers tip if they really wanted to again). There was a huge outrage by the waiters/waitresses, a lot of whom apparently quit. I'm not sure if they reverted back to allowing tips or not - I never got an update on the story. All that said, I hate our tipping culture and would prefer they be only given for exceptional service at worst (in reality, I don't even much like this - I feel like paying employees should be the employer's job, not the customer's - but this would be such a huge step up that it's not a big deal). I would also prefer that all full time employees be guaranteed a living wage in conjunction with this, so that it isn't so much of a moral dilemma in regards to younger, unskilled workers who simply can't make enough money elsewise. Such is life.
  19. Well, I like this song even less than the other. Truth be told, I've just never really been a big fan of the whole "slow moaning" style of singing.... But hey, like you said, different strokes for different folks...
  20. Well, I thought it was O.K. until the vocals...
  21. Yeah, NOW I would want to start testing stuff in a different PC entirely...but you don't have one. Like I said, hardware troubleshooting is hard when you can't swap stuff out.
  22. Ship it to me instead, :D
