  1. SUCH POSTMODERN NEO-MARXISM REEEEEEEEEE OK, hypothetical question. I just posted an article that categorically states Donald Trump accepted a huge back channel bribe from Saudi Arabia to not make a big deal over that reporter. But the article was from Mother Jones. Do you believe it? Or that Hillary Clinton not only ordered the hit on Vince Foster, she actually shot him herself then put the pistol in his dead hand. But the source is The Blaze. Do you believe it? The question isn't for me, but regardless of the obviously dubious sources, the first article seems a lot more believable than the second. "What, Saudi Arabia paid the US money to make something go away? Why, how preposterous!" Is a thought that never crossed anyone's mind,
  2. Apparently that meme is being replaced:
  3. Wait, I just discovered Kavanaugh claimed a devil's triangle is a drinking game. I'm confused, is openly lying a requirement to join the Supreme Court or is it an exclusionary factor?
  4. Grado is about to release their first bluetooth headphones: https://gradolabs.com/headphones/wireless/item/74-gw100 If I bought bluetooth headphones this is what I'd get.
  5. That video card is almost as long as your monitor. Edit: Also I just saw the video in post your specs with all the fancy lights. What is it that allows the lights to reflect what's happening in game?
  6. That shrug was awesome. https://giant.gfycat.com/AthleticEnviousAfricanbushviper.mp4
  7. It all the depends on whether the senate flips when the midterms come around. It's not too likely, but it's currently looking like Trump is doing his best to make it as likely as possible.
  8. While it's not exactly the same, the president firing the guy who can fire the special investigator that is investigating the president, because he refuses to do said firing is, pretty much, how Nixon got impeached. Cool sentence.
  9. Following the Watergate script seems insanely stupid but, given that this is Trump, it's not that surprising. Besides, Trump has been consequence free so far, so why would that change now.
  10. News has already come around that Rosenstein was summoned to the WH, but that he refuses to resign. May be speculation, I don't know.
  11. That still doesn't hold up to the very first claim that the income was cut in half the day she got sick. The only way that makes sense to me (without more information because it could be a type of work situation I just haven't encountered) would be if the person was something like an independent contractor who only gets paid for work completed. But in my experience, work-for-hire contractors aren't paid employees getting insurance, nor would they be eligible for FMLA. So I don't disagree that there might be more information not being let on in the story, even if some of the story does match things I know of or have experienced during employment in the US (and even then there are some state specific stuff that I'd never see unless I worked in that state). I got the impression that their income got cut in half because she lost her job. (two wages)/2 = (1 wage) Meanwhile, stuff just got real: https://twitter.com/statuses/1044236144223899648 Rosenstein is apparently about to get fired.
  12. Who doesn't have severance in their contract? It's a standard.The story claims her insurance went up, so I understand it wasn't tied to her work as then she would lost it not got an increase. Her COBRA insurance went up that is a type of insurance that exists specifically to cover people who are out of a job. So she lost her work insurance when she got fired, which forced her to go on COBRA, which immediately went up to ridiculous monthly payments. This destroyed their savings.
  13. I received my CE today, without any shipping email beforehand. Everything was in great condition. For reference, I'm in Sweden.
  14. I dunno, how is that thing going to cope with 3440X1440 at 100fps? Like at all... In Witcher 3, for instance, my 980ti has trouble maintaining 60fps at that res. What do you play that is demanding?
  15. Yeah, about that "shipping soon". Over here in the Netherlands DHL just dropped my physical order off. In my backer portal it still says "shipping soon" and I never got any tracking info. *shrug* The painted miniatures are kind of bad (which was to be expected), but best girl Pallegina looks all right and frankly she's the only one of the three minis I care about. Can anyone confirm if the card with the Backer Portal Key is effectively a second copy of the base game, if you have already activated the game previously via the Backer Portal? I was going to ask about that. My order has yet to show up, and I haven't gotten any tracking info, yet. It must mean Scandinavia is taking some extra days to start getting stuff. Just got mine and i'm disappointed and pissed beyond belief. The box is empty. There's a thank you note and a card voucher, but no disks. None of the physical things they promised in my reward tier has been included. I live in Denmark and i'm gonna be pursuing a full refund. I feel kind of empty inside about this. I have no idea what they were thinking here. What was your reward tier?

  17. What's your screen resolution, and what sort of computer is going to get the new card?
  18. My granddad was like that as well, at that age.
  19. Wait, it's a scandal that people associate the post civil rights Republican party with racism and racists? Why, i never.
  20. Anomynous is a word. The best word.
  21. Not the publishing but the actions, situations, and motivations described inside it could be called any of those things.
  22. It sounds like you are saying the dispute lies in whether what he wrote is true or not. I see no reason to think that it isn't true, so the question, from a technical point of view, is more whether what he is doing (deliberately undermining the President) happens to be prosecutable in some way.
  23. Yeah, it came the day following the CE items Yes, I already got confirmation this is how it's supposed to be. However, my CE is still on the way. By the way, are you happy with the poster?
  24. I'm shocked and appalled that a blatant treason is cheered in USA this way. It's crazy how people don't understand that everything they do to Trump is not a one time thing. It creates precedent for every next president. Well, it's not like this is the first time it happens. When a President was privately found unable to his job, someone stepped in in this fashion, so precedent isn't really an issue. This basically only happens if a president becomes, or is, in some way incompetent. The cases I'm specifically aware of are Nixon and Wilson, but I wouldn't be surprised if this has happened with other presidents. Still, you are right. This is, effectively treason, and the justifications provided in the opinion article are ridiculous, to put it mildly. The bit about bright spots was especially galling. They say they are putting their country first but, essentially, they are doing the exact opposite of that. They are clinging to power a little while longer, while knowingly risking catastrophe, both in the US and in the world.
