  1. It establishes historical context for slavery, repression and exploitation in general. Something both sides like to cheery-pick to push their agenda.
  2. Thanks. That's a really interesting way of looking at change in media.
  3. That was as rational reaction as you can expect from US in this context. And it has very little to do with situation in Syria. It's just a warning to stop making them look ridiculous. Give the administration I'll gladly take a good thing done for wrong reasons.
  4. Unfortunate that it had to be done by Trump as if feeds into his strongman image but better this than nothing. Assad was testing red lines for quite a while now and showed no signs of stopping.
  5. I see aztecish pyramids and lizard folk... is this Lustria? The continent in Warhammer world that is the equivalent of South America? Holy ****e. If leaks are correct new world and ulthuan are entirety of 2nd game. 3rd game is supposed to be Chaos divided provided there will be interest still.
  6. That and EO about letting coal companies blowing up the tops of mountains are my expected dissapointments with Trump. It's seems like it is impossible to have a sane energy policy in the US, as either you subsidize "cool" technology but leaving whole regions of people to rot away in societal dispair, or you let companies go full haywire and blow everything up as long as it makes job growth. ...and i am also dissapointed that he hasn't told the Saudis to go **** themselves. It's pretty much impossible to have a sane energy policy anywhere. There is far too much money on the line for all concerned. Speaking of which: Trump plans to end the clean power plan Efficiency standards are likely next. Luckily he seems to have given up on refuting Paris agreement.
  7. Most likely research, efficiency and clean power plan. Makes sense as technically they are separate programs.
  8. Aren't you even a bit curious where things are heading? Middle-ground in politics has been slowly disappearing for a while now. This thread may be a glimpse into political future of US.
  9. Interesting but that's US migration profile. If anyone has numbers on say French Algerian migrants that would be more relevant.
  10. Interesting crowdsourcing summary for 2016.
  11. You can easily turn that around and say that the problem is really us. First world humans refusing to give up their standards of life. Shining examples of responsibility that Asians and Africans aspire to become.
  12. That would require Trump to implement effective policy and maintain power for a longer period of time. In the long run converting larger number of Hispanics and reconciling them with Trump-style nativists seems very unlikely.
  13. I was all the with you when you complained about Brietbart. But then you had to bring up the echo-chambers of reddit as a reliable news source...
  14. America first energy plan website is up. TLDR: more shale / reviving clean coal / going for energy independence and "refocusing" of EPA. Seems Trump believes everything he said about climate change.
  15. PBS has been known to run somewhat politicized material against their beliefs.
  16. In Poland most collage diplomas have already been reduced to a class-badge. We can't allow just anyone entry to the middle classes I suppose.
  17. How so? Given monsters elemental weaknesses magick archer is easily the best DPS class. Especially in BI where pawns get perma-killed all the time. That's why having to do 90 levels of sorcerer first is such a pain.
  18. So what are the chances of things like this getting implemented? Trump promised new isolationism but from what I understand republicans are not on board at all.
  19. Apples to non-dispatchables. You can't compare whole systems just by focusing on cherry-picked auction prices.
  20. Sound like typical naive futuro-techno-utopianism. Not sure why you see that as a problem. We regularly elect far bigger nut-cases in Poland.
  21. Bit off topic but what it is with the Trump obsession in the media? I can't watch any news lately without being bombarded with everything he does. "Trump calls, Trump eats, Trump speaks, Trump nominates." There was nothing even remotely like this with Obama. Reminds me that old joke about Lenin and being afraid to open a can of spam. It's like all news suddenly became reality TV.
  22. Remember Mechwarrior online? Seems they didn't completely kill off the franchise.
  23. First of all, this is not true at all, pirated versions get regularly updated - all that does change is that player has to wait for the updates a bit longer and updates only get applied if they're relevant. If that DRM was easy to crack. The whole point of Denuvo and other upcoming DRMs is that they are difficult to bypass. At least so far.
  24. Even if the protection is bypassed the thing about hard DRM is that it tend to happen only once. This means it locks pirates out of future patches and DLCs. Hardly the superior product. Which is exactly why a semi-effective DRM gives us our best chance to save some form of off-line functionality.
  25. Yes, and paying customers are the ones who end up suffering, while pirates just have to wait a bit longer to get the objectively superior version of the game. Or they may never get to play it at all. Game cracking isn't inevitable.
