It's shown in Obsidian's stream, by the way, not in the Ellohime's stream.

The new DLC will include new portraits, including some backer portraits.

I was hoping for more portraits, this time around. I assumed there would be a bit more than 20 new portraits, considering there are 18 backer portraits to start with, according to the Fig page. What gaps were there in the original lineup, anyway? Does anyone know? Yes, there is a slider, and it's shown in the video.

Reality has a well known liberal bias.

Only if it is sunlight sensitive nitroglycerin.

Quality! Moar: https://unreasonablydangerousonionrings.com/2014/12/08/i-watched-vertical-limit-again-so-you-dont-have-to/ I mostly hate it because I saw it in a theater and it took all my willpower not to abandon the film halfway through. Try Touching the Void for a proper climbing movie.

If you liked Vertical Limit I can show you the door.

This isn't so much a case of the state turning blue, but rather of an impressive increase in turnout on the Dems side. I don't think the turnout numbers are out yet, but the fact that the GOP got more votes in this election than in previous comfortable wins but still massively lost speaks volumes.

Am I the only one who think BG2 was nothing special? I like PoE more than BG2. Heck, i liked BG1 and IWD1 more than BG2 It's perfectly normal to like IWD1 more than BG2. IWD had different design goals, and its quality comes from aspects that are BGs didn't share. BG1, however, I would argue is objectively worse than BG2. BG1 and BG2 are essentially the same game. BG2 can certainly be described as BG1 but better. It has better writing, better art, better quests, better gameplay, and better encounter design. Pillars of Eternity does a bunch of things that are a marked improvement over BG2. It's technically better to start with what goes without saying. The combat is also much better. The writing too. I also like the lore and world building in PoE a lot better than in BG2. The latter just benefits from the familiarity of the Forgotten Realms. The main plot was somewhat underwhelming, however, compared to BG2. I never felt the urgency and engagement I felt with BG2. Irenicus made for a much better antagonist than Thaos.

Here's something interesting I found on Twitter about the Virginia election: "Gillespie got more votes last night (1,172,533) than McDonnell got in his sweeping 2009 landslide (1,163,523). The Dem vote grew from 818,909 to 1,405,007." https://twitter.com/daveweigel/status/928325767301353474

Tom Waits - Romeo is Bleeding

Thomas Kretschmann as Baley would be my suggestion. Or Idris Elba.

I'd argue the right thing to worry about is how the money is spent more than how much money is spent. http://federal-tax-rates.insidegov.com/l/40/1955 An age of prosperity, growth and conservative dreams! Somehow I don't think it's due to the taxes American conservatives long for the 50s. It has probably more to do with certain social conditions at the time. I think 40% is the lowest top federal tax bracket in the history of the US. Also don't confuse the top rate with the overall rate. The top bracket can be 95% and taxes can still be low.

I was under the impression that tax plan has a very low likelihood of passing the Senate.

It took me hundreds upon hundreds of hours to finish the first one. I don't need this in my life...

It was a typo. Volourn is famous for his typing skills.

One group openly denies established science, and aligns itself with fundamentalist christians. The other one doesn't. I have a problem with the message white supremacists get from a sitting US president's statements.

Thankfully I have the Daily Stormer on hand to explain why Trump's words were a massive problem:

^See? Normalizing.

Those 36,5 billion were approved yesterday. I wasn't aware. Trump can certainly be considered culpable in the normalizing of such behaviors. His words regarding the Charlottesville incidents are the most egregious example of this. Refusal to distinguish peaceful demonstrators from openly racist, violent white supremacists definitely carries a burden of guilt as far as normalization is concerned.

How about normalizing and legitimizing racism and white supremacy? Also that leaving people alone sure is working wonders in Puerto Rico.

Not really, no. Perhaps inadvertently, I guess.

No you don't. That's the point. There are plenty of situations where a person's body, brain included, can and will be uncontrollable. It can be anxiety attacks, a chemical imbalance in the brain, arousal due to sexual stimulus, the fight or flight response, Tourette's or a bunch of other things I can't recall right now. Trigger warnings help towards managing some of these. For instance, if someone is a Vietnam vet who suffers from severe PTSD, that person should be aware of anything that might unexpectedly trigger the disorder, like descriptions of the war in a book.
