The big thing to understand is they are probably rich person broke, which is different than what most of us face. If they can figure out a way to cut back on spending and live within their means, they should be fine. But a good chunk of players live like they are still making a million bucks every year.

Get with the program Raithe, we are a page into that discussion on the weird news thread.

Geez, the circumstances were bad to start with, now it just looks like mind-boggling incompetence. They didn't even have cause to be suspicious!

It could be a spiritual successor, however.

I have no idea. This is a pretty odd one.

That one bothers me tremendously and I hope that officer loses his job. When dealing with a tense situation where the officer feels threatened, I tend to be a bit more understanding, but this is a hospital and every officer should know that medical staff are in the position of power and they are secondary. Even if he was in the right to ask for a blood sample, he should have never escalated it to this level. He has superiors for a reason.

I had a resistance raid early on where the Hunter showed up, and things went sideways fast. I lost a soldier, and 11 out of 16 civilians died. There were no resistance fighters. I did manage to kill the Hunter and hobble through the mission. There were Lost out there too, they actually helped draw some enemy fire. edit: Mixed up my bad guys.

The one genre I hate MP in is strategy games. But that's because people are crazy in those games.

It also sounds like the changes in the game since 1892 have actually worsened things. Particularly the helmet technology, which you would think would decrease risk, but has become more of a weapon on the line. We know how to train to make everyone faster and stronger than they were 100 years ago, but we know relatively little about the brain and how to treat injuries to it.

Didn't one of the Gabriel Knight games split protagonists too? It's not even a problem just in games, there is a lack of black female leads in Hollywood as well. I'm all for more Pam Griers.

Hey, you try and convince the Garlic Queen to leave Gilroy! My wife will have none of it.

Seriously, we have some of the best Ag schools in the country and I'm guessing they've got a pretty strong Young Republican demographic.

Wals is on Steam, at least. I think it was Oby that bothered him.

Yeah, I think Lord of the Flies with women would result in more cold shoulders and catty comments than boulders crushing kids. But just my patriarchial opinion.

Should they have less say? It's obviously a very tricky situation. Right now there is a decent argument for everyone being unhappy, which probably means something is being done right. You said California isn't marginalized and then justified why it should be marginalized. That's all I'm saying, let's be realistic about what the electoral college does to populated states. I don't think it is that big of a deal, I could always move to Wyoming if it really bothered me. Also I'd argue with California being some liberal wonderland. The reality is it can be quite conservative. CA booted Gray Davis out of office and put in a Republican and it voted to pass Prop 8. I'd argue the problem lies in a weak Republican leadership structure. This the state that produced Reagan, afterall, and he is probably the most popular Republican in recent history.

In California, there are over 500,000 people per electoral college vote. in Wyoming, there are over 140,000 people per electoral college vote. That is a pretty massive difference in voting power. Voters are marginalized in the more populated states, even with the big chunk of electoral college votes they get. That being said, I totally agree the winner take all system is dumb. But if you really want to give everyone a say, get rid of the electoral college all together and of with a popular vote system. Of course, that will dramatically increase the voting power of certain states, because certain states have way more people.

Yeah, the Assassin dazed Jane, the girl from the first mission, and stole a bunch of information from her on one of my missions. She gave a nice little speech about her while doing it. It was a cool moment. The Chosen are definitely interesting.

Welcome back, Enoch.

Yeah, those resistance fighters are pretty good shots! I wish I could recruit some of them.

Huh, I had a few friends who were into that stuff in High School. It seemed pretty powerful, they would basically just go run through the forest for a few hours. I'd be pretty hesitant to vote for it without more information.

I've been reading up on the Patriot Prayer group and Joey Gibson. Talk about a crazy story, this guy seems to be doing everything he can to distance himself from white supremacists and denounce racists, and he is still getting attacked. http://www.mercurynews.com/2017/08/23/whos-behind-this-weekends-right-wing-rally-at-crissy-field/ Hopefully all this stuff dies down a bit soon so we can start having actual dialogue.

What is the difference between these chaps and the Black Bloc protesters? It seems to me that Antifa is kind of like Alt-Right, in that there are numerous groups that claim to be a part of it, some much worse than others. It also seems rather disorganized.

Damnit, I'm super jealous of that state income tax rate.

Would fixing the electoral college system even change the results of the last election? It just sounds like a way to make people in more populated states even more marginalized when it comes to the Federal election. Of course, us in California can take solace in the fact that we have better wine, food, and weather than everyone else. Oh, and Yosemite.

My medic panics when people around her panic. Kind of defeats the purpose of a medic.
