SW: The Old Republic - Episode VII (J.J. Strikes Back)
Hurlshort replied to Blarghagh's topic in Computer and Console
Dell has owned Alienware for a long while now, so I don't think that is it. They do seem to be launching a new product line though. -
Kentucky County Clerk still Refuses to issue Gay Marriage License
Hurlshort replied to BruceVC's topic in Way Off-Topic
Yes, I am much more comfortable with the Supreme Court interpreting laws than a country clerk from Kentucky. I am not a fan of anything that is currently being done in regards to immigration in DC. Both the Congress and the White House are a mess on the issue. There is no amnesty by the way, just a ham handed directive that has pretty clearly failed. We didn't really talk about it here, and it's quite a bit off topic, so cheers. edit: You seem to still think I'm a liberal. I'm a hardcore moderate. I just look liberal because you are so far out there. -

While I'm not a fan of focusing on her private life, I do think it is important to understand that she is the one bringing her private beliefs into the public spectrum. But as I said originally, all this is doing is increasing her martyrdom. -

I didn't know she got friggin' jail time! Wouldn't a simple dismissal have been sufficient? Kinda goin' overboard there government. She is an elected official, she cannot simply be dismissed. She is free to resign, or follow the court order. Because she refuses to do either, she is being held in contempt. It's quite a pickle, no one in their right mind wants a government that can simply remove an elected official from office without due process, but you also can't have every county clerk across the country trying to interpret the law based on their 'feels' -
I'm planning my summer trip, and I'm planing on going to Yellowstone and Mount Rushmore. Given my route, I'm thinking about swinging through Colorado on the way home. I am not sure whether to stay in Fort Collins, Boulder, near Denver, or something on West 70. Obviously I'd like to try a good brewery or two. I'm leaning towards Fort Collins for Equinox and New Belgium.

Bleh, my rent is being raised by $250 a month. Not too bad considering it has been the same since we moved in over 3 years ago, but still a bummer. I think I'm still about 2-3 years away from having enough to try and buy, and the extra cost won't help that. I hope the housing market gets back to normal soon, it is crazy in the Bay Area right now.

I find life is much easier if I don't read more than the first two sentences and the last two sentences from some posters. It saves time and sanity. -
Interstellar - It was good, moved along well for a 3 hour movie. I thought it had a nice mix of science and fantasy. Spoiler:

Considering all I can eat comfortably is Ice Cream, I just might.

Thanks to my wisdom teeth surgery, I now have Marlon Brando's jawline and speech pattern.

Yeah, next you are going to compare whiny twitter people to Nazis! -

Please tell me she is not ....surly Heh, as if only a Republican can be a religious nutjob. -
They are putting me under for it. I am old and it is a bit of a complicated procedure. It is a 3-day weekend, so I don't have to go back to work until Tuesday.

I get that she is an elected official and cannot be fired, but isn't there some alternative other than jail when dealing with an official who isn't doing their job? What if someone has a mental breakdown in office, or is in a coma? Don't they have some sort of 'no longer fit to serve' procedure? -
It seems really weird to me that this whole ridiculous thing ended up in a Federal Court.

It's just going to turn her into a martyr. -
Speaking of teeth, tomorrow morning I get my bottom wisdom teeth out. I expect misery.

I think we've all learned through Assassin's Creed that you can easily scale to the top of that tower. -
That totally makes me think of No One Lives Forever.

Hurlshort replied to Blarghagh's topic in Computer and Console
I'm amazed that they just kinda arbitrarily drop your stun abilities to drag the fights out longer. It was like they said, "Hey, there was a bunch of build up to this fight, we need to make sure it takes a long time, even if the player is at a high level." Pretty annoying. Thankfully I'm still enjoying the story. -

I think she is angling for a reality TV show. Someone has to replace the Duggars. edit: Also, I feel a chance at a Kentucky Fried Chicken reference was missed in the topic header. Let's brainstorm and come up with a better one. edit: This lady has been married 4 times. There is very little reason to take her seriously as a Christian. -
I was torn between making a joke about grammar nazis or one about German language teachers. It paralyzed me.

I don't think I'm doing a great job of explaining myself here, but really all I'm saying is that the changing of language, social issues, etc. is just not something new, and I'm not really sure it is that big of a deal. Show me some evidence that our society is really changing, that we are banning stuff. It's hard for me to do while watching episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and staring at my copy of the South Park RPG. We've got Trump polling well for goodness sakes! Political correctness is dead, long live political correctness!

I spend the majority of my exercise time thinking about the beer I will drink when I am done. It works.
