  1. That's been gfted1's point regarding the 'magic money' proposals (guaranteed basic income, guaranteed college education, etc.) all along, as far as I know.
  2. It supposedly is confirmed elsewhere to BE the Mark of the Outsider from Dishonored.
  3. As much as Bruce was awesome as Brisco, the show wouldn't be the same without Bowler, IMO. Would have loved a movie while Carry was still with us though.
  4. RIP Lord Bowler.
  5. Maybe, although there were early reports of a group walking and chanting, then when they stopped a group began the rush, which the crowd joined in. Reports have them having never left the cooler they were found in. From the reports that the police were pepper sprayed by protesters, I suspect that might be what they are counting. Haven't seen any reports on that specifically, and as always with recent events, what is currently reported may be wrong.
  6. As I understand it he can pardon a group of people without naming them individually (like the pardon for Vietnam era draft dodgers, or Confederate soldiers)
  7. Federal charges, i think, so Trump could pardon them...

  11. The end of getting 5-10 circulars a day and 2-5 cold calls a day from groups affiliated with both parties reminding me to vote. And 2-3 polling groups calling to ask my opinion on who I'm going to vote for. And the hand written letters about why its important to vote for a candidate sent from out of state. And 99% of all ads on all media being attack ads for the candidates, oftentimes leading to 5-6 political ads per commercial break or period. Although it is a bit funny with the attack ads when one of the candidates has an "I'm X and I approve this message" at the beginning of their ad, but their ad precedes a PAC attack ad against them that caries no disclaimer, so it makes it sound like the candidate approved the ad attacking them for a few seconds. Its just not enough to want it to continue.
  12. Hope you recover quickly and your dad never gets it.
  13. That's all well and good until someone hacks it and starts changing the settings for you.
  14. Iirc, Mad Max (1979) was set "a few years from now" with a date in late 1984 seen on screen. Mad Max 2 was 3 years later (1987) and Beyond Thunderdome 15 after that (2002). All this becomes vague with no specific dates ("45 years from next Wednesday") after the Fury Road soft reboot, which besides altering the timeline to be less specific, also changes when the nuclear war happened in relationship to the other films.
  15. I've never read the books either.
  16. Not only have I not watched Game of Thrones, I have no plans to do so.
  17. Disrupt Texts has a website, you can read what they advocate for there. The WSJ article indicates some teachers talking of having gotten administrations to remov classics entirely from curriculum (specifically, the Odyssey), which generally speaking isn't what the Disrupt texts group is advocating for.
  18. Can we still read Fahrenheit 451? I'm also wowed that people read THE SCARLET LETTER and think it wasn't an indictment against the attitudes on display vis a vis Hester Prynne...
  19. Iirc in the book the vigilante claims comes from him setting up traps for criminal by using himself or his car as bait, then attacking the crooks that take the bait. Been too long since I've seen the first film to remember how they handle it.
  20. Personally, when playing games, having fun is my priority first time through. Difficulty challenges are best left for subsequent runs. Marilith Demon Yxunomei is a tough fight.
