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.
-
Interesting but that's US migration profile. If anyone has numbers on say French Algerian migrants that would be more relevant.
-
Interesting crowdsourcing summary for 2016.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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...
-
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.
-
PBS has been known to run somewhat politicized material against their beliefs.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Apples to non-dispatchables. You can't compare whole systems just by focusing on cherry-picked auction prices.
-
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.
-
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.
-
Remember Mechwarrior online? Seems they didn't completely kill off the franchise.
-
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.
-
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.
-
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.
-
But that's the whole point of Denuvo. It's no longer that easy to circumvent.
-
You want to change your GPU? That's one activation lost. Wanna change something else? There's another activation. Denuvo activations aren't lost.
-
Yes but have you wondered what caused the 'shy Trump voter' effect? If Trump supporters refuse to answer polls or pretend to be undecided then there must be reason for it and frankly I think most of it lies with the media. Apparently women and minorities were big part of the statistical error and I'd say they were ashamed to admit they were voting for a man labeled a misogynist and a racist.
-
Hillary gained 1% of women voters from what I saw vs Obama. I don't know how we can say that is notable in terms of a gap. However, the amount of time she spent on her being a woman sure didn't pan out. But men voted for Trump 5% more than for Romney hence a record gender gap. What's worse is that a logical answer to this might be making women do the same for Democrats.
-
I've been muling over some election results and I'm getting a bit concerned over the divide in the US. Apparently this election saw the greatest gender gap, the greatest divide over college education and historic first of no ticket splitting for the senate. Add to that a record low trust in media and that both sides seem to be doubling down on their populist agendas. This could make for an ugly future.
-
This would mean that white men would even elect Trump in California. I doubt you can explain that with just economy. Looks like a major cultural backlash.
-
Interestingly enough the potential Trump victory will be due to white males without collage degree and record participation among rural voters. It's Brexit all over again. The losing side of diversity and globaliation mobilizes trying to turn back the clock.
