Well David Bowie can't die twice so it's safe to say there will never be another 2016.

Politics - Episode 9: The Lurking Fear
https://www.independent.co.uk/voices/emmanuel-macron-france-approval-ratings-drop-never-save-the-centre-a7859041.html I'm predicting Trump holds on in 2020, the dems are too busy wanking over the radical centre to figure out why they lost in 2016. With only a little more than half the electorate showing up to vote in 2016, I feel safe in saying "abstain" will win the popular vote.

Politics - Episode 9: The Lurking Fear
Ah. So police brutality is acceptable depending on context?Hilarious because especially in the case of hardened gangbangers, violence does absolutely nothing to deter them. Those guys are willing to go up against los zetas without batting an eyelash. You think hitting their heads on police cars or being roughed up a bit by cops while "resisting arrest" is going to accomplish anything, other than possibly a bunch of lawsuits that taxpayers have to pick up the tab for? Nah. It's only internet badasses like you that fear police brutality, when you just happen to be in the wrong place at the wrong time. Why is there no info that he was talking about arresting MS-13 gang members in this article?It is linked at the end of the article: http://www.pbs.org/newshour/rundown/watch-live-trump-trumpet-ms-13-crackdown-long-island/But given the President is endorsing police brutality, clearly PBS believed it deserved a separate article. Oh yes those brutal police not placing their hands on the fragile little snowflake heads of MS-13 gang members, those bastards.And they can't rough up innocent people they arrest or people that aren't violent offenders. In theory anyway, pretty sure the soldato do what they want.The cops applauding that is one reason that kid playing NWA at the cop's funeral was a good thing. Man, you're weak Yep. By standing up to MS-13 ai'm soooo weak and you are soooo strong by giving in to them and defending them. You are the hero of the nation. I'm sure MS-13 is soooo scared of a guy standing up to them in a forum they will never read. http://imgur.com/2csNWa9

That may be but it still makes for less exciting reading or viewing.

Yeah I think the adult section is worrying, it certainly wasn't bad(in the book) but it lacked the terror of encountering It as children. I've got faith in Muschietti to make It terrifying, but it seemed that in the book Henry Bowers was more of a threat to the adult Losers than any of It's forms aside from the closest thing their minds could comprehend It's true form being. At any rate this looks good and while I'd prefer an 8 episode mini-series this looks to be good.

"Full Attack" when not dual-wielding?
Not at all, FoD for example is great for any damage and the rest do very well with 2-handers and such. Barbaric Blow or Heart of Fury with a 2-hander will hit very hard and punch through DT, if I read your OP right.

Do we get to fight more Dragons?
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Flamenstein's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)We had 4 dragon fights in PoE+WM and they have said we'll see more dragons. However I want to fight Krakens and Leviathan more because seamonsters at sea. The best option would be a mega dungeon with an army of octopusmen(popvor iirc), zombie krakens, ghost dragons, and an ancient coven of liches guarding a powerful animancer from around the time the gods were created.

The invisible hand sucks because when you expect it to tug on something it ends up pushing its finger into something else. Sneaky bastard.

No, you are claiming that the ruling class does not actually rule, I am claiming that they do in fact rule. Ruling does not require absolute power.

Politics Episode 8: WWF Edition
It isn't, the levers of power will continued to be pushed regardless of individual happiness or even who the individuals are. Your assumption that the ruling class needs to be all powerful to be considered rulers is strange. In feudalism a king did not stop being part of the ruling class because he couldn't dissolve feudalism as a system, he still is king and is more than able to shape his domain as he sees fit. Under capitalism we see a similar thing on smaller scales, the individual bourgeois can't dissolve the system out of sheer will, but they are still the ones pushing the levers by controlling production and distribution and politics. The fact that the lives of everyone, including the ruling class, are shaped by material conditions does not mean that the ruling class is a myth. The bourgeois aren't a cackling coven of witches or some other force of evil, they are simply people acting in their material interests, interests that are antithetical to the interests of the proletariat. Thus any action that merely aims to eliminate current bourgeoisie is not enough and placing blame on the bourgeoisie as individual actors is misplaced.

The US isn't the entire world and there's a difference between starving and half the country living in poverty when you don't count for government programs. Comes with the territory.

Huh? it lies in the nature of markets that they are out of controlThe markets are largely controlled by those who have their hands on the levers of power. Which is not any elected official. even for "them", the underlying mechanisms are beyond "their" controlChange your avatar to a rose or read a book.Read some sense into yourself.The "underlying mechanisms" aren't some natural or divine occurance, they are the results of those who hold the levers of power aka the bourgeoisie acting in their own self-interest in the short term. That they don't coordinate their efforts to collectively manipulate their grand machine is evidence of intra-class conflict, not evidence the market is a natural phenomenon like gravity. This should be basic **** for anyone who has lurked a leftist forum for a week, let alone read an ounce of theory. Here is a new avatar for you that better fits your opinions and knowledge.

List of Subclasses as we learn about them.
PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Ganrich's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)And that's a problem with fighters. And as Boreoer pointed out Monks and Barbarians. I'd just like options, right now a barbarian archer is not very good in PoE despite being a cool concept I'd be willing to do.

PK htiw klaw eriF replied to Ganrich's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)I think the Ranger should be built around cooperation with the animal companion while being agnostic to ranged or melee. So I'm happy about the Stalker option and hopefully most of the ranged stuff goes into general abilities.

Working america is becoming heroin-alley though. The assumption that heroin-ally just happened to spring up because they weren't hard working enough ignores existing material conditions.
