  1. That is a pretty narrow way to view Temujin though. Although I may be missing your point.
  2. I'm sure the writers have all of this stuff available to them, and if it makes sense with the script they may even work it in. However I wouldn't expect anything. Sure, they might make a nice Easter egg for a few thousand fans, but a huge percentage of their audience is not going to get any of this.
  3. Crazy Giants-Dodgers game last night. I feel bad for Dave Roberts. Bruce Bochy used to regularly make Don Mattingly look bad, and that trend seems to be continuing. Giants are no hit into the 8th, and then win 3-2 on two hits.
  4. Once you get to the main area, it gets quite a bit busier. But there are also a lot of dead bodies around. Enjoy exploring the hazmat areas.
  5. I think a mod should delete Hoonding's message and keep the theme of white background avatars going here. White avatar power!
  6. Thanks for ruining the thread.
  7. I just want to fit in.
  8. Only if you want to ruin it.
  9. Wearing a wig and a dress does not make you transgender. edit: Or rather I should say there is much more to it than that. This specific case, where someone is videotaping others in the bathroom, has nothing to do with transgender rights. If he was in the men's room videotaping it would be just as serious a crime.
  10. That looks pretty interesting. Always enjoy a good Forest Whitaker speech.
  11. Everybody is smart. We all have moments or tasks where we excel. No need to overthink it. It would be a pretty boring world if we all had a set level and we couldn't ever raise it, or lower it, I suppose. I know my hockey level has dipped a bit over the years.
  12. I would trust you to ring up my groceries. Most of the grocers in my neck of the woods seem to pay a pretty good wage with benefits. It would seem to be one of the better retail jobs out there, given that I've had the same cashiers at these places for over a decade, they have families, they seem happy to be at work, etc. Being President sounds miserable.
  13. Is Bruce from a family of bankers? That would actually make oodles of sense. He even has a family member in prison for some sort of Wall Street scandal.
  14. http://www.gamespot.com/articles/south-park-stick-of-truth-sells-5-million-sequel-c/1100-6434743/ Ubi paid 3.3 million dollars for the game + whatever expenses they had afterwards and according to that article the game has sold 5 million copies now. I imagine the game was quite profitable for Ubisoft in the end. Man, that article really shows little respect to the work Obsidian did. "This will be better because we made it in house." Bleh.
  15. Hah, that's kind of cool. Not really the romance part, but the fact the soldiers act closer when they've been in the bleep with each other.
  16. Giants lineup looks very solid. Back to back to back homers.
  17. 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.
  18. That would make sense as the loss, but it is tough to predict what either team will do about resting players.
  19. I still expect it. They looked pretty dang good against Portland, better than they have in a few weeks.
  20. Nobody can play Bowie.
  21. This guy is magic. https://vine.co/v/ijVZZZIhVxP
  22. 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.
  23. It was really more of a throwaway "orange is the new black" line, but thanks guys.
  24. So Panama is the new Switzerland?
  25. 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.
