So...assuming the stutter is real, what exactly is divisive about the words he is trying to say?

The first clip is clearly edited. The second one is just a listing of facts. It's still a pretty great time to be born white. It's also a much better time to be born black than it used to be in the US. It's not really a competition though. edit: The comments on those videos are super depressing.

How far do you want to take this "realistic" gender depiction? Do women get a plus to charisma and endurance? Maybe change dialogue options based on their menstrual cycle? The vast majority of fantasy worlds rely on a very simple means of differentiating abilities. Humans are jack of all trades, dwarves are hardy, elves are wise, and orcs are strong. There is no reason to muddy the waters with your gender concerns.

Uh...it's a fantasy world with magic. You can believe that people shoot fire out of their fingers, but it is retarded for women to have the same stats as men?

Only for the cycle to return the next election. At this point a strong(over 10% of the national vote) showing for a candidate would just lead to blaming said candidate for spoiling it for whichever Big 2 candidate lost. Johnson will be no different, Republicans will blame him for Trump losing and next election the Libertarian candidate won't break single digits in the hypothetical situation where he grabs more than %10 of the vote. It's enough show a pattern. We've had the Big2 parties dominate presidential and congressional politics for over a century. It's not going anywhere and the choice between one Goldman Sachs employee and another isn't much of a choice. This seems like such a pessimistic view of the future. We live in a different time. Most of these 3rd party candidates that challenged in the past didn't have the tools available to candidates today. Social media and the constant news cycle have changed a heck of a lot of things in the last decade, why can't they change the two party system? Just upping the voter turnout could cause a major shift in the political climate. Both Bernie and Trump are examples of this. They've defied polls and done unprecedented things all campaign long. Why can't something as surprising happen in the general election?

You don't need to flood the ballot with parties, you need one strong candidate to disrupt the cycle. You saw it with Perot, Wallace, Thurmond, Teddy Roosevelt... Honestly it is also a small sample size. This is only the 58th election. The idea that we are permanently locked into red and blue states is short sighted. Also voting most definitely matters. This isn't Russia.

As it stands, Gary Johnson has my vote as well. I think my wife is on board too, since she is a registered Republican but dislikes Trump tremendously. He's polling at 10%, and it seems like a decent bet that will go up. Yay for realistic immigration reform.

You could vote for someone like Gary Johnson. It is immensely frustrating to me that people dislike both candidates but are willing to vote for one because they dislike the other more. That simply cripples the true power of the voting process.

Overwatch is pretty fun at the low levels. I realize I will rank up and get slaughtered by good players, but right now I'm enjoying being decent. Reinhardt and his giant shield is a blast.

Decided to bite on Overwatch. So far so good, they've got a big roster of characters. I played my first round with the turret Bastion, and managed to kill 25 people to only 5 deaths. I'm typically the guy that tries to get a 1 to 1 ratio, so that was a surprise. It might just be that I'm playing at a pretty low rank to start off, but it was a nice way to begin. Kind of makes me sad they didn't turn it into an MMO, it is a very good little universe they've put together.

You can avoid dry chicken by brining it. Put it in some salty water for an hour or two, add rosemary to really keep it moist and flavorful. It will not take away from the bbq flavor either.

We are in the rv for the weekend, just outside of Yosemite. Yesterday was a pretty crazy drive into the park. We spent about an hour covering the last 5 miles to the ranger station. A friend was driving, and at one point my son and I even got out, went pee, and jumped back in as the car slowly moved forward. The valley was packed but beautiful as always. We had lunch under El Capitan and explored a bit. I need to bring the family back again when it is less busy, but all the falls are flowing and the Merced is filled.

I have said it before, Iguodala is behind Curry and Green as the most important part of this Warriors team. Usually it is because he leads that bench, but last night it was because nobody can defend the best players in the league like he does.

And yet it is has the best foundation.

I hope you don't mean here in this forum. No one that has responded to you seems to be all that close to fans, they've just been pointing out the flaws in your argument. Also in regards to the OT. This really is only newsworthy if the movie turned out to be good.

That's what I mean. You've got people getting paid very little to do mindless tasks. Let the mindless tasks be handled by robots and hopefully you'll see the people engaging in actual customer service.

I don't think I've ever seen one outside of New Jersey They have them in Oregon too. And the few times I've been up that way, I've always been surprised at how good they are at the customer service aspect. Again, that is something that robots can't really replicate.

It just seems weird to me that the rationale behind keeping the minimum wage lower is that these jobs are really obsolete. Why are we stifling progress?

Yeah, but that robot is still going to require regular maintenance and upgrades. It also probably isn't really equipped to handle the customer service aspects. You can probably argue that the average McDonalds isn't equipped for that either, but if their job is no longer about flipping fries, then you would expect them to be able to focus more on the human element.

I read that earlier, it made me laugh. If McDonalds can save money by automating their restaurants, by all means they should do it. It will create a massive boom in robotics jobs. None of this excuses a business from paying a livable wage, particularly one as profitable as McDonalds.

I'm in a bit of shock. I need to figure out a way to get tickets.

Yeah, that's the part that makes my radar flicker. Its very convenient in todays day and age to squeal like a pig with cries of discrimination every time you don't get what you want. It cant just be that she sucks, it MUST be because shes transgender. Well that's why we have a legal system where lawyers present evidence and a judge makes a decision on the merits of the person's claim.

I've played a fair amount of TF2 and I can't tell you anything about the characters or the world. I don't think comparing the writing of TF2 and Overwatch is a worthwhile endeavor.

I'm not sure I've ever seen Blizzard lauded for their great writing. They tend to nail the gameplay down, polish the heck out of it, and appeal to a wide audience. That's their formula, it may be simple, but it has made them arguably the most successful studio around. They also seem unwilling to release anything that doesn't meet a certain criteria of fun, even after years of development, and that is a good way to endear themselves to their fans. I wish we had more studios that follow the Blizzard model. (despite me not really enjoying Starcraft or Diablo.)

Ugh, don't summon that guy here.
