  1. I was talking about drops, I rarely get anything good and slogging through with a bad group isn't really pleasant. Last run I did I got a 216 boots, another 216 boots, and a dread holocron decoration. Probably going to stick with wzs for a while, which I've had some success running Watchman instead of Combat on my sent. And I like that sound too. I find the class more fun than my sent, which largely seems to excel at getting stunned and killed.
  2. I'd play it once, but the swamp will make you frustrated as hell and isn't rewarding. If there is a mod to skip the swamp, like the skip Taris from KOTOR, by all means use it and save hours of your time.
  3. Already done.Bruce is more then welcome to correct but I'm pretty sure he is not a social democrat. He's mentioned a few times that his ideal is "a mix of capitalism and socialism like the nordic countries" which from what I've been able to understand is Capitalism with a welfare state. That's social democrats, or at least what they do when they're in power.
  4. Well having to deal with the RNG one too many times I find myself only doing wzs and ignoring ops unless my guild needs a dps. Have discovered that I don't really like Sentinel too much and prefer Guardian(particularly Vigilance) and Scoundrel(Scrapper) for my melee classes, so perhaps that explains my reluctance to do much with my only current 65.
  5. Rand Paul isn't his father and somehow managed to be both more mainstream republican and less likeable at the same time.
  6. Already done.

  8. That's why you're seeing the push.
  9. By the time this is released colony ships will have already been sent out.
  10. ... and the "why"? Because I'd like it.
  11. Rojava, although it's a big stretch to call that a state.
  12. Ideally Bernie grabs the popular vote in either the primaries or the general but loses due to superdelegates or something. Hillary or Cruz will bring almost as much acceleration as the Donald anyways.
  13. .... the ****? He wrote a book about Mario and cosplays afaik.
  14. Not really. The most applicable analogy would be like criticising someone who praised the early US, particularly the South, who did not want to implement slavery. Which as someone who lives in Texas you should know is a good portion of the population and Republican base. Are you triggered everytime someone with a confederate flag or with a hardon for 1776 doesn't also want to put a few people in chains? And while all these semantics are interesting, is Bernie's "foolishness" because he opposes surveillance and supports privacy or because he said some nice things about the Soviet Union? Moviebob calls it right.
  15. Care to explain? We have very different economic views. My economic views are stubbornly moderate, so we might have a bit more in common than you'd think. I know, my Obsidianstalking.txt shows you saying something along those lines.
  16. Care to explain? We have very different economic views.
  17. You're going to give Kain an aneurysm. I agree with him actually, but I wager my conclusion from the information my best interests are not served by private businesses is much different than his.
  18. And they still have to pay extremely high water bills for poison
  19. Now that's a new one to me. I guess you can lump me with the rest of the non-Americans who caught the original incident and subsequent fallout, and just use it for pop-culture snerk humour ever since. I don't think that's just non-Americans, it's one of those things a person will always be known for unfortunately. She could cure cancer and still probably be known as the woman who gave the president the blowjob heard around the world and who later cured cancer. Talking heads would even debate if the first thing was somehow related to the latter It would certainly be a more pleasant treatment than chemo or radiation.
  20. They did before the US actually, just not manned landings. And for being so "technologically backwards", they sure managed to pioneer the stuff that makes up current space operations so clearly their science fields were doing something right. Pretty good record when their main competitor was more scientifically advanced and wealthier. And if you could have the technological advancement without totalitarian measures like those found in the Soviet Union or being pushed with the TPP. It's absolutely idiotic to think that taking influence from a state regarding a science program requires the adoption of all policies implemented by that state. If the US were to massively increase resources allocated to scientific research that would hardly require limiting free speech or implementing a surveillance of all citizens. Cuba's health care performs similarly or better than the US while costing a lower percentage of GDP than the US despite the US being much wealthier. In most circles, that would be considered "better" and indicative the US could be doing something differently. What you said to amounts to a feeling, not a fact. Go to Tumblr if you want feels to matter. Being against surveillance of citizens is idiotic now? I guess totalitarian measures are only bad when those dirty commies do it. Clearly the US government will never do anything wrong. I take it when anyone admires Thomas Jefferson and they don't want to enslave their biological children you're going to get triggered and call them hypocrites? Because clearly it's impossible to admire specific qualities or opinions without emulating something completely.
  21. Yes, because of rapid industrialization largely funded by french loans. Just like the Soviet continuation of industrialization, it had some short-term negative consequences including a famine and terrible living conditions for workers. So pioneering space exploration is now only a "so called accomplishment" that all the other European countries were doing? I was under the impression that getting into space a pretty big deal and that the Soviets managed to do it first in everything but landing on the moon. Not really. And while all this is interesting, none of it changes the fact that Bernie Sanders has consistently opposed surveillance of American Citizens throughout his time as a legislator of the US government.
  22. http://www.theguardian.com/uk-news/2016/jan/25/briton-on-fighting-in-syria-i-was-terrified-the-entire-way
  23. Not what I said. Again "one can admire specific qualities or actions without wanting to emulate something wholesale". Just like one can admire the founding fathers of the US without wanting to enslave Africans and count them as 3/5ths of a person to boost representative power. Soviets beat the US when it came to space tech when they were still rural 40 years before hand, not to mention improved the infrastructure and standard of living of what was largely a state at least 100 years behind the rest of Europe. China transitioned from a primitive agricultural society to one with modern(for the time period) power systems and industry. And Cuba still has better healthcare than the US. All things someone from 1970's might find admirable when living through stagflation with little options for healthcare. Positive. And that doesn't change the fact that Americans are turning to drugs and media to escape life. This doesn't cease to be a state that collapsed over 20 years ago did something bad.
  24. I knew Godwin was right around the corner. Yes, and in the case of the Soviet Union and China also brought around an industrialization that benefited millions while ushering in scientific progress that outpaced the US for a time and Cuba has a medical system that outperforms the US(unless you happen to be well-off) to this day. But clearly old comrade Bernie was excited at the thought of the gulags and not any of that. He isn't wrong though, kids have turned to drugs and watch tv for hours on end to escape the drudgery of low paying jobs and crippling debts. Or has poverty been a communist plot to destrot America all along? Any rights the constitution or any other document grants can be trampled by the state as it is. A leftover hippie turned politician isn't going to change that anymore than a loud billionaire or wall street shill will, because we've been living in a cyberpunk dystopia the entire time. Nah, Israel starts a nuclear war and we get Fallout. Better work on your repair skill.
  25. The funny thing is Bernie actually does better among the general population than Hillary according to polls, so assuming he manages to overcome the Democratic Party machine they will have helped bring in a candidate both more hostile to their interests into the presidency. Absolutely hilarious.
