US Election 2016, part II
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/

What's on the idiot box?
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...

What's on the idiot box?
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.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.

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.

Valve sued over discrimination and other inner hostilities
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...

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.

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.- What are you playing right now?

I think it's illegal to grill your in-laws, but it might be worth checking out your state's statues to make sure.- What are you playing right now?
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.- What You Did Today
