Politics - Episode 9: The Lurking Fear
I am not sure I understand the question. All I care about for both soldiers, astronauts, etc. is whether they are physically fit and able to do the job. nice dodge, mental health is irelevant? When I stretch it - i have same problem with new ''Alien' movies. I just can't stand that fact that you would pick so volatile and ''disturbed'' people on mission costing bazilions of cash. If it would be on you wouldn't you pick people 'suited' for that job? I think military is very similiar in that regard... I wasn't trying to dodge, I really didn't understand your question. So your feeling is that transgender people are not mentally equipped to handle military service, I take it? That seems like a pretty serious accusation, and also a slippery slope. Are women unfit for duty? Hormones and all that. There already is a mental health requirement for enlistees in the military. The only thing that should matter is if the person can pass that, regardless of anything else. Lets be honest, the military is going to attract some head cases. Their gender identity is pretty low on my list of worries as to who we give access to heavy weaponry.

I can respect that. And honestly, if the tweet had simply said that the government will not be covering and transgender surgeries at the expense of the taxpayers, it would be a more reasonable argument. But Trump said they were going to ban a certain group of people from the military. That is pretty much textbook discrimination.

The last paragraph addresses that bit: My guess would be it has something to do with the appeal of service. The military has always been popular as an option for those struggling to find their identity. There seems to be some overlap according to this survey.

It's also a ticket out of the service if that is what the service member wants.

Well hopefully they ban pregnancy next, that is also disruptive and medically expensive.

RANDOM VIDEO GAME NEWS
It's never had a decent development team, though. I wonder what will happen with Ian Currie and Turbine, since Turbine seems to be in a slow motion march to the death? He is probably the only guy who could do it, although I'd be interested to see what Firaxis could do with it as well. Xcom 2 had quite a bit of the JA feel. The crazy thing is all those security contractors you hear about in the news sound exactly like they are coming out of the Jagged Alliance database.

What are you playing right now?
I have really big itching to start this one up. I have it on my backlog for a very long time :-P It's a pretty solid old school game. My one piece of advice is don't try to go for a jack of all trades character, focus on one type of build.

I stayed up late playing Underrail. My assassin build is way better than my crossbow guy.

What's so funny right now?

What you did today
Ok, that looks expensive. I will have an RX-9 if they keep it under $35k, I should say. The RX-8 was pretty reasonably priced, so I hope they keep that trend.
-
What you did today
I will buy an RX-9 in 4 years. It is written in stone.

Politics Episode 8: WWF Edition
volo dont be afraid of the truth, Russia did interfere in the US election with an intention to undermine Clinton and assure that Trump won I can explain anything about this you may not be clear on? If ur outraged over hackers leaking DNC documents to undermine Hillary to the voters, then u should be equally appalled at the DNC for undermining Sanders for Hillary.... I am sure if Clinton won, it might be the bigger story. But she isn't the President. (Not that I think much of the whole Russian controversy myself)

What's so funny right now?
I thought he was subtly blaming Trump for all those deaths. It worked pretty well with the Clinton campaign.

Alpha Protocol is the best Obsidian game, you all should know that! South Park is probably only good if you dig South Park.

I'm pretty sure I reported Sharp_One for the trans comment. Although I believe I wasn't the only one. Honestly it is hard of keep track.

The stairs don't actually look all that safe. 65k is crazy, but I can see why you want a professional to build it, and not homeless former mechanic.

I typically wait until I have a bunch, then verify them on my phone. At least it looks neat when I get a few bucks in the wallet.
