Are you talking about the Constitution being that turning point? There were already half a million African slaves in the US by the time it was drafted, so I do not think we would have necessarily missed out on the tremendous cultural impact that they have had on the country.

That would make sense as the loss, but it is tough to predict what either team will do about resting players.

I still expect it. They looked pretty dang good against Portland, better than they have in a few weeks.

Nobody can play Bowie.

It's a pretty complex question. You'd have to go back a bit further to really stop the exploitation of Africa for the slave trade. If I could stop Portugal from slowly draining the Kongo Kingdom of life, I definitely would. That is probably your point of origin when it comes to the African slave trade. But really you would need to find a way to change the entire momentum of Europe during the Age of Exploration, which would dramatically shift modern history as a whole. They needed cheap labor, cutting off Africa would only force them to go elsewhere.

It was really more of a throwaway "orange is the new black" line, but thanks guys.

So Panama is the new Switzerland?
-
Not debating that the Constitution is a major step, but lets not forget that it did recognize slavery. As a whole, we are all much better off than we were 200+ years ago.

Last night I played hockey and felt good, but today I've got a terrible sore throat and feel exhausted. I'm hoping it passes quick, I go to Vegas next Sunday.

Are you going to release Tyranny on GOG?
Hurlshort replied to shmerl's topic in Computer and Console
If they announce it now, they are going to upset people that do not want to buy it on Steam. If they announce it closer to release, they are going to upset the same group of people. What if the situation changes? What do they actually gain by announcing distribution this early? -
Of course, Obama and Clinton aren't really fascists that are going to come into your homes, steal your guns, and burn your bibles.

First I'm not talking about adult mods necessarily as not everything sexualized is considered adult content. And second you're wrong, true adult mods are very easy to find. They are all over Nexus which is where all of the normal mods are. Unless Bethesda is creating those mods, your point still makes little sense. Pressuring a community of fans and hobbyists is a waste of time.

I would never accuse Bruce of brevity.

That seems pretty clear by the way I worded my post. I guess I should have been more obvious with my disclaimer that I am not a big comic book guy.
-
Lobo sounds familiar but Ambush Bug sounds like something you made up. Maybe it is just the readers of Marvel comics embrace the weirder characters more than DC readers? I'm not a huge comic book guy, but I can name a pretty long list of strange Marvel guys, but I come up pretty empty on DC.

I have multiple people trying to convince me to play Black Desert Online. I have a guest pass going right now. I am trying, but I don't really get it.
-
Marvel always struck me as a good deal more liberal with their storylines and characters. Not necessarily politically so, but just quicker to take risks, try weird things, etc. DC is usually pretty conservative. Could Deadpool exist in the DC universe?

You've always been like a father to me, Grommie.

I'd sleep like a baby with the DS9 sound.

April Fools? I hate this day.

The Simpsons is built on satire and parody. Using it as an example as an embellished character is completely missing the point.

It is a bit humorous that the Cruz affairs story broke and nobody really batted an eye. It was just too outlandish.
-
Heh, trying to teach our own kids is way tougher than being in the classroom. I don't understand how homeschoolers do it.

Hoonding has had some pretty good one-liners, but he's pretty one-dimensional. I like some depth of character in my forumites. Also, the Overwatch butt looks terrible. I mean, it really isn't even a butt, it is legs with a crack in between. I assume they are changing the pose because it looks stupid.
