  1. I can go on: "Negão" is only used in Brazilian Portuguese, and it usually refers to a big black man. Sometimes this has a "positive" connotation, if you get my drift. The suffix "ão" is often used to denote increased size in the same away that "inho" is used for smaller things. They are the main way to get augmentative and diminutive forms in Portuguese. It's safe to assume that in that case, the name came from the fact that the dog is big and black, though.
  2. Incidentally "Negro" is the polite form used for black man in Portuguese. "Preto" is the impolite form that should only be used as a form of address if you are friendly enough with the person you are talking to. Note, however, that both words literally just mean the color black. The word "preto" is more commonly used in day to day life for the color, though. "Negro" is usually used in more formal contexts, although they are effectively interchangeable.
  3. https://www.congress.gov/bill/115th-congress/house-bill/861/text A BILL To terminate the Environmental Protection Agency. Be it enacted by the Senate and House of Representatives of the United States of America in Congress assembled, SECTION 1. Termination of the Environmental Protection Agency. The Environmental Protection Agency shall terminate on December 31, 2018. US congressmen really work hard, and put thought into the things they do.
  4. Miller appears to be a totally nice guy. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/politics/king-stephen-miller-latest-liar-bigot-team-trump-article-1.2971639
  5. http://www.vox.com/policy-and-politics/2017/1/31/14439908/steve-bannon-worldview-visa-ban Nationalism and traditionalism seem to be basic underpinnings of his philosophy. Also, is that specific point in Enoch's post the only thing you have issue with? It's just that the rest of the other factual things read like a deliberate undermining American democracy. Finally, the idea that media has a chip on its shoulder regarding Trump is kind of a joke. Trump was already widely considered a bumbling fool 10 years ago, 20 years ago, perhaps even 30 years ago. It's not like he sprang up into prominence unsullied and unvarnished just the other day, and now the media are doing an hatchet job on the guy. He was always a raging dumpster fire. I've been reading late 80s and early 90s marvel comics recently and, once in a while I come upon derisive quips referring to Donald Trump. He was kind of a joke.
  6. This is the trailer thread not the synopsis thread.
  7. I think it'll be a long period but shorter than 4 years. I'm willing to bet that Trump screws up enough politically that he's either forced to abdicate or is impeached and removed from power in disgrace because he pushed the entire establishment in a bad way. Unless the Democrats win back the house and the senate in a unprecedented landslide in 2018, there is no way in hell Trump gets impeached.
  8. I believe Obsidian went for realism in their armor design in PoE so the over the top game armor design was avoided. I think they will probably go the same route for the sequel.
  9. Those look like they might be rich Saudis so I don't think Trump would have a problem with them.
  10. I'm still wondering, though....
  11. Wow the language of education has changed quite a bit in 122 years. I assume principle parts of a verb is a long way to say conjugation. What is the volume of a bushel of wheat? Heck I don't know. I could answer the second math question pretty easily if I did. The first math question is talking about the Associative and Distributive properties I guess. On number 9 how the heck many rods are in an acre? Uh oh... History question #4 is a no no. The Democrats won't want you discussing THAT with students! The rest isn't too hard. Why is "Show the territorial growth of the United States." a no no?
  12. "HA! Good fun!" is missing, and that makes "our public schools is failing our kids." stand out given the subject matter.
  13. That's the best Trump depiction.
  14. If California left, the US would have a lot of emigration to it.
  15. It's nice to finally be able to describe current events as Orwellian without being hyperbolic. So nice.
  16. What? This seems amusing, please do elaborate https://mobile.twitter.com/Lee_in_Iowa/status/822634312650649600/photo/1 Also the bee movie, and Bane, apparently.
  17. Trump plagiarized Avatar today. I think that's unpresidented.
  18. Big project names have indeed been US states since the beginning. The state names are chosen in the order they have joined the union. Apparently smaller projects may use state capital names instead, but I'm not sure about that. The names have no bearing on what the games actually are. So KOTOR2 was Project Delaware, NWN2 was Pennsylvania and Alpha Protocol was Project Georgia, for instance.
  19. I'd say Portugal, Hungary, Slovenia and Croatia are the places that combine beautiful stuff to visit, and comparatively low prices. English shouldn't be too much of a problem.
  20. Apparently Trump will continue as the star of Celebrity Apprentice. Surreal if you ask me but what do the Americans think of this?
  21. Not to be (more of) an insufferable ass, but I think you mean the Monroe Doctrine, which predates the explicitly anti-Soviet Truman Doctrine. I was thinking more about US intervention in the post war era, so I actually meant to write Truman Doctrine. Of course, the Monroe Doctrine applies for interventions before WWII.
