Why did we need the weird guy yelling wtf at the end? He ruined that clip.

What you've done today - There will be no dawn for Men

Endoscopes are rough, but it is important to do it. I shook the entire time. Colonoscopy was a cakewalk in comparison. -
Hah, way better than your casings of meat by-product.

What a historically dumb article. I mean that both ways. edit: Let me clarify. The article is a shallow tackling of a huge subject. I do take solace in the fact that the headline wasn't actually written by the Vanderbilt History Professor, but I still think it was a strange half-hearted opinion piece that doesn't really work.

I'm at a loss about Afghanistan. I don't really understand how to win the ideological part of such a war. The Taliban are terrible and it is hard to understand how people embrace that kind of rule in such large numbers. But barging in with Western rule and ideas seems to be pretty dang ineffective, so clearly we need a new strategy.

They did a great job with the Field of Dreams game.

Yeah, I can't think of any health scenario where it is healthier to eat fried pork skin than it is to eat a few carbs.

That game kind of looks like Banished. I'm surprised no one here notice.

I won't argue.

I just wanted to add that hockey is better than all forms of football.

Oh no, I don't have the respect of the anti-vaxxer. Devastating.

Multiple people answered it back then and multiple people answered it again. You just don't like the answer. What a waste of time.

At this stage, Margot Robbie as Harley Quinn is always worth the price of admission. I'd put her next to Hugh Jackman as the ultimate embodiment of a comic book character. Stallone as King Shark is better than Vin Diesel as Groot.

What, like tuberculosis?

What are you Playing Now: Living the Game Life

JA2 1.13 is a huge improvement and doesnt really change the game, so I think you should use it. Just stability and quality of life fixes. I am on my 3rd playthrough of Underrail, and this time it is going much better. My first crossbow guy got stuck in some vents and was overmatched. My 2nd pistoleer petered out in Core City. But now I am a psionic master and I think I might actually get through the game. -
Oh, she would never vote blue either. I did mean to go back to the video game topic, or rather the unions for video game workers topic. Tech workers haven't had a lot of impetus to unionize because tech companies have traditionally paid well and provided sweet perks, and there was a limited hiring pool. Joining a startup and helping build it from the ground up is a high risk-high reward prospect. But now we have a much larger pool of trained tech workers and Tech Giants that rule the world. So yeah, unions are probably inevitable.

This morning I caught a football player on the news talking about how he is 'evaluating' the vaccine. https://www.sfgate.com/49ers/article/Nick-Bosa-still-hasn-t-decided-on-whether-he-s-16350480.php So here is a guy who listens to his coach about how to play football, listens to his trainers about how to stay in shape, and listens to his agents about signing contracts. But a pandemic hits and suddenly he is Mr. Science, and he needs to evaluate instead of listening to the experts.

Ok Dr. Chilloutman.

Do teacher's unions support democrats because democrats support education? Or is it vice versa? My wife is a public school teacher and was a registered Republican through her 20's. But eventually it seemed like voting Republican was a vote against her livelihood, so she has been a little less keen to vote red in her 40's. The Republican party doesn't seem to be in a hurry to change that. As for the liberal bent of most educators, I know I've gone over this before, but you have a group of people that spent 5 years in college to take a job that is high on intrinsic rewards and low on monetary ones. Of course they are going to be idealistic and less conservative than the average person.
