Hah, I remember that discussion. No one said anything of the sort. That's really the thing, a lot of times people hear what they want to hear rather than actually engaging in a discussion. I am sure we all do it. We post something and expect that people will react in a certain way, and tailor our response to our expectations instead of the actual response.

Do you think you can explain the humor here? I don't get it.

Pretty impressive work by this guy: http://www.chicagotribune.com/news/nationworld/ct-mosul-eye-20171207-story.html

I get the impression that being critical = hating in Sonic's eyes. In reality, being critical of politicians is a great American past time. This isn't Russia.

Oh I like the Bosch actor, that is why I gave it a chance. I just couldn't get into the character. It may have improved, I only watched an episode or two.

There is nowhere near 10 trump haters posting in the politics thread.

Super Mario Odyssey is amazing and video game award shows are dumb.

While choosing knives for my wedding registry, I really wanted knives with stainless steel handles. My wife said no. 15 years later I am pretty sure she made the right choice, since I still have all my fingers.

Welcome to the forums

Yeah, that would freak me out as well, particularly if it was intentional. Also, of course a student of mine being a murderer would freak me out. edit: It SHOULD freak you out. You should take a moment to think "Was there anything I could have done to make a difference there?" Most of the time it is probably a no, but I'd say it is much more irresponsible to not acknowledge the situation. Volo is right that it has little comparison to selling a wedding cake, but maybe he should spend less time trying to derail the thread because of a silly meme.

If I found out I sold knives or ropes to a person that used them in a murder, I would be pretty freaked out.

Zork's a good one, but my first text game was Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy. Also I feel like Oregon Trail should have made my list. Curses!

Alright, then I'd be happy to push PEGI and the ESRB to up the age on games with loot boxes.

I have heard the same thing about violent video games. Aren't most of these games rated Mature?

It isn't that I think EA can regulate itself, it is that I am cautious of allowing the government to step in unless it is a legitimate health concern. Them being greedy and consumers being dumb enough to feed that greed is not grounds for Big Brother stepping in to sheild us. I also believe it is early and the market will correct itself.

The deciding factor in many multiplayer games isn't who is good, it is who has the most time to sink into it. I guess that is better than paying to be leet, but it still seems pretty silly. It is why I tend to stay away from the whole idea of competition in games. Plus I am old and slow. All of this matches up pretty well with the way the real world works.

Hmm...Kamala Harris is a pretty smart choice. I can't see the dem leadership being smart enough to choose her.

I have some fancy dinner to go to tonight, but I needed to take my son to hockey first, so I go all dressed up. Now I look like a coach and prospects from the Kings and Ducks keep asking me questions. I guess they are in town for a tourney.

Back to the Future 3.

I loved watching that with the kids.

Tombstone would be on my list. There is a whole Western comedy genre, really.

Can we put Deadwood on the list? I love most westerns, but Deadwood is probably my favorite thing to come out of the genre. I tried to watch Young Guns the other day. That movie did not age well.

The Dems need someone with a bit of youth and charm.

Key word there is "looks". Always ask people what benefit they get from marriage or a kid, but I just get vague crap so is hard to judge its merit I can be very specific about the benefit of marriage, but this is a family friendly forum. Financially I'd say it has been a boon for me, although that can vary pretty widely. Given that we make the same income though, it definitely helps to be able to combine our buying power. Also a friend of mine ended up with this crazy bloody nose situation where he passed out at home, and his wife called the paramedics and dealt with it. Maybe he wouldn't have died from it, but it is crazy to think what would have happened. I guess you can get that same benefit from a conscientious roommate though.

Memphis was easily one of the richest cities in terms of history that I have been to. Sun Studios and the Lorraine Motel are places that everyone should visit, and yet they haven't been over commercialized like so many important landmarks. Plus, the BBQ!
