  1. Is that a movie about make up?
  2. That's one terrible cartoon.
  3. That Justice League trailer is like a guy in a midlife crisis trying to look badass on a skateboard and then breaking his hip.
  4. Alien: Isolation Just a resolution test. Edit:The forums reduce the size so, no go. This should be 6880x2880.
  5. The whole AHCA voting situation is amusing. Republicans have railed against Obamacare for what are now 8 years or something. They now control the House, the Senate and Presidency, and yet they can't repeal Obamacare. This is almost as big a failure as losing an election against Trump.
  6. All I can personally say is that I didn't pay any extra fees for the original game when I got it. I also got the signed copy so my box probably had to pass through the US originally. Additionally, I don't remember anyone on the forums complaining about paying extra customs fees, but my memory may be faulty on that. I also assume that, at this point, unless Obsidian is certain the same company(ies?) will be used for international deliveries, how international shipping will be handled isn't set in stone yet, so Obsidian might not have a definite answer to give yet. I'm a volunteer mod by the way. Edit: Forgot about Paradox. Paradox is the publisher, and they're based in Sweden so there shouldn't be any reason for you to pay extra fees if you are within the EU.
  7. http://observer.com/2017/03/trump-cease-and-desist-kitten-punch-site/ Trumplethinskin strikes at teen through his lawyers.
  8. Blocking laws on a whim? What the hell do you mean?
  9. Tax is collected on income, not actual worth. Yes, and he declared 100 million in investment income, which would be miniscule if it came from, say, a 4 billion investment portfolio. It's​ much more likely that he had a 1 or 2 billion portfolio at the time which would mean that he was never worth 10 billion. 5, maybe, if you're​ charitable.
  10. Democracy is of course a populist concept but plenty of stuff is not populist. Often the truth is not too populist, for instance. "Hey, we promise to spend extra money to change public schools for the better but you'll only know for sure that this is a good idea 10 to 20 years down the line. Vote for me." "Hey we're gonna divert a sizeable portion of the taxes you pay to fight a vague environmental threat that won't affect you much but will definitely threaten the lives of your grandchildren or at least the lives of someone else's billions of grandchildren. Vote for me." "Hey, I promise I will work hard to make your lives better, but my policies won't change diddly squat in the next 4 years. However my policies should improve your life marginally 6 to 8 years from now. In 10 years though is when things start to get really better unless, of course, you elect someone who has a different idea about governing, in the mean time. Vote for me."
  11. If he was worth 1 or 2 billion in 2005, he definitely isn't worth 10 billion now. Maybe 5, but probably not.
  12. For some insane reason giving away free money is not populist in the US. Bootstraps demagoguery and whatnot. Outside the US giving away money is totally populist, though. Keeping your country safe from foreigners is also populist, however. It's not an either/or situation.
  13. I thought he was worth 10 billion or something. Also he is now trying to sling twitter crap at Snoop Dogg?
  14. Is that a picture of a printout of a facebook comic?
  15. I don´t know, but wouldn't a significant percentage of that be a bunch of people punching themselves in the face?
  16. Here is the internet:
  17. Except nodody whined? Google "pictures of presidents with feet on desk" and enjoy! I distinctly remember hearing/reading right wingers complain about it at the time and then being silenced with a myriad of pictures of presidents with feet on the desk. Meanwhile, more important things are going on: https://thinkprogress.org/229-house-republicans-just-voted-to-keep-trumps-tax-returns-secret-a6843e9a6260#.cdzblxcj1
  18. It's like that one time Obama had a photo taken with his feet up inside the Oval Office.
  19. Valsuelm specifically said things were safer and freer 100 years ago, not that things should be better they are now. That improvement is currently required would brook no argument from anyone, I'd say. To say that things are worse now than before regarding safety and freedom is patently silly, be it 30, 50, 70 or 100 years ago. Relevant:
  20. Mike Pence’s latest hobby: Gardening with Grindr matches
  21. Don't think they're exactly no-go, but they're hostile to the police, and have become a lot more hostile thanks to Obama's demagoguery and lies. Europe didn't have them though until mass migration. So the causes are different but the result is the same, ethnic-cultural enclaves hostile to the society at large. That is not true.
  22. Tiny Trump is a great meme although I still haven't figured out how they photoshop the whole body whilst keeping the original hand size.
  23. Some Swedish women are smokin' hot brunettes wearing hijab.
