We will be in Yosemite during Memorial Day weekend. I'm not quite looking forward to it, given the likelihood of crowds, but I have a buddy that wanted us to go and he doesn't have the breaks that us teachers get. It will still be a nice warm up trip to make sure everything is in order.

I've got my summer trip planned out and booked. We are starting in Yellowstone, then spending a couple days in Deadwood around the 4th of July. We've got a bus tour scheduled for Mount Rushmore, then we head down to Denver. I bought tickets for the Rockies and booked a tour for New Belgium Brewing. It should be a good one.

That's good news, Disney Infinity was rubbish compared to Skylanders and Lego Dimensions.

I enjoy a good historical discussion as much as the next guy, but I'm still not quite sure where KP is going with this. Is this related to a previous discussion? I went back a few pages and can't seem to find anything. Something to do with Chomsky? In regards to tying voting rights to industry, I'd caution us not to forget that while industry may be the leverage, there still needs to be people who march and protest and use that leverage to gain rights.

I would think most people would say it was surprising it took that long for women to receive the right. Land of the free, home of the brave and all that.

Why? Because a century is a relatively short amount of time in the grand scheme of things? Indeed. Just imagine if Victoria Woodhull had won the presidency in 1872. Or in 1884 or 1892. Depending on how this whole FBI case goes, maybe Clinton will be in a prison cell on election day as well.

I assume you meant the 1920's for women's suffrage? Hard to imagine we are less than a century removed from that.

This has been playing out in the wings:

I've always struggled to get into Crusader Kings due to the overwhelming options, and I haven't played a EU since the first one. That video makes it sound like Stellaris might have an advantage as far as learning curves and easing into it are concerned, so I'm thinking about getting it as well.

I dont really like labels...what would you classify me as in American terms? I support Clinton and Obama legacy I would classify you as non-American. I certainly wouldn't classify myself as South African anything.

I found this stat to be particularly telling: I've got a lot of different thoughts on this. I would definitely say my history teachers in college leaned heavily towards liberalism, although I never bought into the whole idea that we were being brainwashed. They certainly weren't as aggressive as some of the conservative mouth pieces like Rush LImbaugh with their agendas. As a teacher myself, all I really want is for students to see a wide range of opinions and have the critical thinking skills to process them all. But I'm not teaching at the same level, so it's a very different atmosphere.

Why do you guys keep discussing stuff with Bruce like he's an actual representative of an American liberal?

Ferelden Lives Matter, stop making excuses for the murderous City Guard.

I judge everybody on their eyebrow density. It is foolproof.

Every time I swear off the Battlefield games, they do something that ropes me back in.

They were actually labelled Ferelden Deserters. Which, again, makes little sense. They deserted their homeland to make a suicidal attack on the city guard? Random thugs would have been dumb enough, but that makes even less sense.

I find it was best to not look too closely at any of the plot stuff in DA2. I mean, your first act when you reach Kirkwall is to massacre a bunch of scared refugees. Like, there isn't a choice, they just decide to attack you and the entire city watch because they want inside. These are people that fled the Darkspawn, but they felt like their odds against the entire city watch were better.

That can easily be done in secret though. It sounds like you can do it, but there are complications: https://dnatesting.com/how-to-do-a-paternity-test-without-the-mother-knowing/ PS - The comments and questions are hilarious. People have too much drama.

Well I was told once that babies look more like their fathers when they are born to compensate for such issues, but I'm not sure how scientific that is: http://www.scientificamerican.com/article/babies-paternal-resemblance/ Kind of a damned if you do, damned if you don't situation. Asking the person you are supposed to spend a couple decades raising a child with for a paternity test probably isn't a great trust building exercise.

Old people don't like new technology, that's a fact! I would guess the vast majority of politicians are morons when it comes to technology. That really isn't saying much. The vast majority of people I work with are morons when it comes to technology as well. Were Blackberries even still popular back when this happened?

Geez, can you move the goal posts any further? So If I list a whole list of SJW games released in 2016 not related to BG, that somehow proves my point? Not that I would do that because it's irrelevant to BG. Just like all the games you listed aren't relevant to BG. Yeah, that would be great. Please make a list. Try not to fill it with $2.99 budget titles made with RPGMaker. That would be silly. I was also not responding to you, but rather to Volourn, so I'm not sure what you are in a huff about.

I'm not entirely convinced Hilary is an expert on email servers. I would hope she would have technical people for those types of things.

Speaking of TV and movies, they have been using focus groups and advance screening to edit out stuff forever. Is that all part of an SJW agenda?

Does anyone believe they got rid of the cards because of SJW pressure? That is stupid, the new games are even more graphic. They replaced the cards with actual scenes.
