They won't bother splainin, but they'll eventually try to spin why keeping aggravating DRM is better for the consumer.

Ooohhhhhhh, Justin Bieber, you make me so moist!

Most unlikely. Guess I'm just a "bitter clinger" at heart. Hmm, now that "stupid name" was coined by whom?

Hokusai would be proud!

It's all about the targeted infliction of to make sure that we and the Congress back down and approve more federal spending in perpetuity. Ol' Barry proposed it thinking that the House would back down and now that they're not backing down, he's turned it into a PR club with which to beat them over the head. I'm so proud of our President.

Don't feel too chagrinned. As is written in the book of Ecclesiates, there ain't much truly new under the sun.

What improvements have taken place are despite the efforts of our glorious, all-wise Barry, not because of him. So many people have completely dropped out of the job market that if they were back and actively looking for work, our current unemployment rate would be over 14% as a national average. Just wait until the implementation of ObongoCare truly kicks in and you'll see that scythe of his start to have a significant negative effect upon the economy.

Sadly, in some places they can when what they truly deserve is deportation.

Sounds like a canine variant of a leucrotta from AD&D. As a DM, that was always a fun one to use on the players.

*SMH* Ah, the follies of youth...

Are simple, repetitive dynamic elements like swaying grass and trees demanding in terms of GPU cycles as compared to other dynamic elements that aren't locked into a set routine simply because of their size? Or are they actually low-demand because of their simplicity?

You can always get a pair of small speakers to enhance the audio quality after you've saved up a few bucks. And don't melt your machine playing the latest shooter with trillion poly avatars or some such nonsense.

What made you choose a laptop over a desktop? They're always 40-50% more expensive for the same performance and capability. What'd you purchase, by the way?

What costume? Those are pajamas in Finland.

I've never understood the appeal of a "pacifist" run through a game. I prefer putting heads on pikes on a regular basis. Oh well, to each his own.

Hey, one makes do with the resources at hand. I give them props for being creative.

I read a fair bit and the Left world 'round has certain conceits in common, so I'm confident that I'm quite close to the mark.

And it would seem that you've answered your own question, correctly I might add. Another reason that they'll vote for the Left is because the Left is interested in showing its--*AHEM*--moral superiority through the enlightened values of tolerance and multi-culturalism. The Right would, quite sensibly, tell the damned Third Worlders to shape up or go back where they came from and that's not something that the Third Worlders care to hear. Personally, I'd begin the mass deportations immediately and shoot dead any who resisted. These people have no interest in becoming Swedes--embracing your ways and mores; rather, they wish to intimidate and come to dominate Sweden. This is nothing less than an invasion by a hostile people and should be treated as such.

If your place of employment adheres to an "At Will" policy, you may quit without giving notice and be fired for any reason or no reason at all. This is quite common in right-to-work states and even in closed-shop states outside of the confines of union employment. A job is not a right; rather, it is a privilege and you need to remember this as you make your way in the world. However much you might want to tell off your boss, co-worker, or customer, however much they might richly deserve to be forcefully corrected for their piss poor behavior or attitude, doing so can cost you your job. So goes life. ******** And now, having inserted itself into the States' business over this or that injustice, the Feds are now the ones abusing their Constitutional authority and refusing to leave the several States be. Government is like aspirin: take two for an ache and all is well, but take two whole bottles and you'll put yourself into the emergency room. At present we're much closer to the latter than the former. It's time that the Feds were made to respect the Tenth Amendment and return to their Constitutional limits. We're $16.7 trillion in debt largely because of too much welfare, too much warfare, and too much do-gooderism at the Federal level and for every dollar we spend we're having to borrow $0.42. This is patently unsustainable and yet the administration and bureaucracy show no sign of being willing to take even the slightest actual reduction in spending. The sequestration kerfluffle is symptomatic of their recalcitrance, as shown in this chart. ******** There's a tremendous difference between individuals, religious organizations, private organizations, and private sector companies engaging in advocacy/activism using their own resources and the Feds doing the same with public tax money. With the former, it's a right and with the latter it's usurpation, theft, and coercion. Again, the former is protected under the First Amendment and the latter is blatant usurpation.

Compromising with your enemies, with those diameterically opposed to the Anglo-Protestant, Constitutional roots of our nation is not something that ever has any desirable outcomes. Patrick Henry, George Washington, Madison, and to a lesser degree the whole lot of the more prominent figures like Jefferson, Mason, Adams, Paine, etc...

I give this book five stars, WoD. Though nearly a decade old, it's still very relevant today and deals with the subject you're debating with Rostere. This pretty well sums up what happens when you invite the Third World in mass--you de facto become the with all of its crime and social pathologies. My opinion of the this filth and those supportive of them cannot be typed here for risk of a ban. Use your imagination, multiply by 10, and you'll be in the ball park of my disgust for all of those of this ilk, LibProgs and Third Worlders alike.

There was nothing unclear in that quotation. What did you not understand?

I cursed Daylight Savings Time when I awoke and found myself an hour behind before I even put on my slippers. <----- wuz cranky. I never use my alarm on the weekend if I can avoid it and my biorhythm is still set on Eastern Standard Time.

Or an ironmaw (Planescape).

If memory serves, our PC is a witness to some sort of supernatural event and how we react to it determines the flow of the game in terms of our initial opportunities, encounters with NPCs, and quests. I might imagine some variation built into this based upon sex, race, and/or class, but that's about it.
