Bill Nye the Degeneracy Guy
So I guess it's not a kid's show? No doubt that the Bill Nye clip is ridiculous, but the response is also ridiculous. Let's lecture everybody about sexuality!

Yeah, I survived much of the game by carrying those things around.

The Weird, Random, and Interesting things that Fit Nowhere Else Thread
Geez, that 8th grader pulled 1.8 million views on his class project. That's impressive.

Sure, which is why the Andrew Jackson statue in NO isn't going anywhere. It is iconic.

I'm not quite sure what the statue has to do with historical preservation, though. I mean, unless that statue is placed in a location that is historically relevant. For example, my city will often put up different works of art in the downtown area, and then move them after a year or so and cycle in new stuff. Why are these statues untouchable? They aren't melting them down or anything crazy like that, they are placing them in an educational setting, it seems. Basically I agree with you that the reason is suspect for these statues to be moved (the PC angle) but I question whether they need to be there for historical preservation.

I agree with GD. First off, the idea that a monument glorifies something is a bit off. The Vietnam war monument doesn't glorify the Vietnam war. It is a reminder of what our country has been through.

Prey has some pretty messed up moral dilemmas.

Politics 2017 Act 6
Trump ran a smart campaign and focused on the right states, that's really all there was to it. The voting numbers look surprisingly similar to 2012, so the idea that huge swaths of the country were suddenly fed up is a bit overdramatic. Trump was able to strategically turn some states and it worked out in his favor. That being said, I have higher expectations for how the President will act than I do the media. George W. Bush was treated unfairly by the media in many circumstances, but he handled it very differently. It's a bad look, but this shouldn't be a surprise. Trump has a long history of this type of behavior, I doubt he is going to change now. It's going to be an ugly term.

Damn, only 52, that's sad. That first Soundgarden CD was basically my High School soundtrack.

Actually seems like a pretty good setting for them to tackle, given the diverse topographies they've already covered. I'll buy it.

I look forward to seeing who they cast to mumble through Geralt's dialogue.

Politics 2017 Act 6
Eh, Trump supporters seem happy to ignore stuff like that. Of course, you get that with any overzealous supporters of a candidate. There were plenty that drank the Obama kool-aid as well. WoD actually came pretty close to pulling away from Trump after the whole Billy Bush recording. I'll give him that.

I think I am getting close to the end of my Prey run. This game has done a fantastic job of leading me along. You rarely encounter anyone other than corpses for the first 2/3 of the game, so when you start to meet people, it's quite a shock. There is also a lot of choice here.
