I'd be happy if they can just turn freeways into automated roadways. The majority of my commute is spent stopping and going in a straight line, surrounded by others, as we inch by fender benders and pulled over carpool cheaters. It is slowly killing me.

This is pretty fancy! http://www.slashgear.com/i-hitched-a-ride-in-mercedes-f-015-self-driving-car-19374303/ I have about 20 years left of work, and the idea of slogging through traffic for all of those is daunting. I'm hoping to see some decent implementation of these cars within the next decade.

That sounds like pretty standard advertising. I doubt you will find many trade journalist, particularly independent ones without a large publication, paying out of pocket to review products.

Sorry officer, I'll try to stay on my appointed side of the wall.

Con-Man added a Blu-Ray tier, so I dropped some money on their indiegogo campaign for that.

Playing through the Orlesian Ball in DA:I and hoping I can wrap it up within the next week. I'm going to try and stay away from the big areas and just go for the main quests.

Watched Community on Yahoo Screen, it was decent. It seemed a bit off from the previous seasons, but I think it might just be an adjustment period. It still had some fantastic moments. Also watched The Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt on Netflix. I am only two episodes in, but it seems like a decent comedy in the 30 Rock vibe.

The Butter Battle Book should be required reading for anyone engaged in this type of low stakes crusading.

I am old enough to recognize the same pattern as i've seen before. I do not believe the artist is genuine for one second in this. He drew originally what he wanted, got flak from "the right crowd" and decided to remove it with a half-assed reason. When the "wrong crowd" tries to argue about it, they are simply shut out as the screenshots above shows. Self-censorship is fear, and fear is the mind killer. I take it you aren't familiar with Dr. Suess. Yooks are not Zooks!

That's really disingenuous. It's hard to take GGers seriously when they try to make mountains out of molehills like this.
-
You should probably include all the tweets where the artist makes it clear he was not censored and simply decided inappropriate and did not fit with the comic itself.

Again, Pakistan is a way bigger risk than Iran when it comes to the wrong people getting hands on it.
-
Even if Iran never uses the nukes it could develop; Iran simply having them would pose a huge problem. I'd wager both Pakistan and North Korea are bigger risks, albeit for differing reasons.
-
If we are going by track record, there is only one country that has actually gone through with nuclear attacks.

I'd argue more that posting it on social media (this forum does count) is a dumb choice.

I just don't like to get to the place where I need to drink it every day, which is a concern with soda. So even though I enjoy it, I try to limit the amount I drink. Of course I am hooked on orange juice, can't start my day right without it. I'm the same way with my booze, I'll wait a week to drink a good beer because I want to be able to really enjoy it without any interruptions or regrets.

White People: What They Say in Public vs Behind Closed Doors
Hurlshort replied to ktchong's topic in Way Off-Topic
I'd agree with you there. Anti-semitism quite clearly exists in the US, it just tends to take a backseat to many of the other popular forms of intolerance and hatred at this time. -
I agree with you, but this is a pretty experienced team, so this is one of the Kickstarter's that looks reliable. Plus they already have some gameplay going on, so this isn't starting from scratch.

If taks really comes back, we can get a decent beer thread going again.

Whoa, where the heck have you been? Good to see you.

White People: What They Say in Public vs Behind Closed Doors
Hurlshort replied to ktchong's topic in Way Off-Topic
In all fairness, I'd also argue that there isn't any meaningful anti-black sentiment in my country because we have a very low (<1%, if I had to guess) percentage of black population. Would this reasoning be faulty? No. But your country probably didn't gas millions of black people to drive that percentage down.
