  1. No. You drive a truck and obey traffic laws. It's more like a flight simulator.
  2. The voters. Right now we get to decide what the scope is on local and state levels, but we have very little say in the Federal level.
  3. Finished up Jessica Jones. I liked it better than Daredevil, but they are both really well done. Here is my comparison: Story - JJ beats DD easily here. It was a compelling plot with a number of interesting characters. A lot of gray areas too, instead of just good and bad. After the first episode, I said it was like an alcoholic Veronica Mars with superpowers and less wit, and that held up. Cast - I liked the supporting cast more in JJ, as well as the lead herself. Hard to believe that is John Ritter's kid. The only advantage DD had was the villain, as Kingpin was masterfully portrayed. Kilgrave was still very good in his role though. Luke Cage was awesome. I never really followed either comic book lines growing up, so it is fun to watch the stories develop without any of that background knowledge. They are definitely gabbing my attention more than the CW's line of DC characters.
  4. Wait...that isn't a picture of you? I will see if I can dig up anything worth changing it to.
  5. First you let the government hold onto people indefinitely to keep people safe, then you close the borders to keep out potential trouble, then you give up your guns because the government knows best. Why do you hate freedom WoD?
  6. I grabbed a keg from a local brewery, Das Brew. It's a Hefeweizen, and it has a very strong banana kick to it. Only a few days old, so definitely fresh! Unfortunately the tap handle was not compatible, I'll have to jury rig it.
  7. Beats them going back to kill some more Americans, doesn't it? So you just trust the government to lock up people indefinitely because they have identified them as a danger? Ok comrade.
  8. I don't drink. Mistake number 2!
  9. The crazy thing is when they run out of an item, they give you an IOU ticket, so there is zero reason to actually fight over them.
  10. I spent the morning cleaning the gutters out, putting up the lights , and decorating for Christmas. I need to get a few new bulbs for the main string, but overall it looks nice. Now I'm trying to figure out how to get a nap while the kids run around trying to decorate the inside of the house.
  11. So...you just want to hold these people indefinitely without a trial?
  12. I'm surprised people aren't digging the total lack of tutorials on how to do anything in the game. Isn't that a feature for hardcore gamers? I wasted so many resources on my original character before doing the "quest" ones that I started over.
  13. "One billion flies can't be wrong, eat s***" :/ Yes, if a game is not to my liking, it must be crap.
  14. So I show that movie every year to my American infidel students.
  15. Uh, illegal ones? You understand that the vast majority of people held in Gitmo were captured in Afghanistan. Actually only 3 were even captured by US forces. Habeas Corpus can apply to anyone we want it to apply to. The point is to put them on trial for their crimes, not to be held indefinitely without any due process. Considering the Afghanistan war started in 2001, it is fairly ridiculous they haven't been put on trial.
  16. I abstained from Black Friday, as we aren't doing any big gifts. We are going to Disneyland in February so I told everyone to keep it simple this year. Although I am heading out to a brewery to get a freshly made keg later this afternoon.
  17. You don't get hangovers because you are like 22.
  18. That is when it starts. Or rather, when the end begins.
  19. I think Keyrock was making his own skins at one point for the trucking game. I crashed into a loading dock and gave up.
  20. Welcome to old age.
  21. Leferd beat me.
  22. Bernie Williams? Is this a clone of Robin Williams and Bernie Sanders?
  23. Well if you are in the middle class, I don't understand why you would vote for anyone but Bernie Williams. If I ran a corporation, sure, I'd vote for Clinton.
  24. Yeah, as I said initially, I'd probably be a lot more sore if I didn't have Wasteland 2 to play when I wanted to develop characters and use my skills to solve problems creatively. Sadly I doubt we will ever go backwards, the game sells too well for Bethesda to not continue down the road of the action game genre.
  25. Yeah but the "socialist" programs Bernie wants are clearly not bipartisan. Really it is fairly surprising what is partisan politics. You would think that it would be fairly obvious that the 100+ people hanging out in Gitmo need to be put on trial at some point. It's the basic premise Habeas Corpus. It was something the President said he would do in his first year in office, and yet it continues to get blocked by the opposing party. 7+ years of that ridiculousness.
