You aren’t stupid. These are complex issues, and it’s not reasonable to expect people to be experts on firearms. The media and politicos are trying to reduce all of this to sound bites and blunt actions because, to a low-information voter, that sounds good.

The party is indeed quite insane. Hence why I used a small l when describing myself. I don’t think Gary Johnson’s positions - and he is the nominee - are so bad.

I recall something I read in a very old issue of Reason, where it essentially said that if an enthusiastic libertarian gives a speech to 50 people, 1 will be converted, 2 will be confused, and 47 will be hostile. But I don’t think the philosophy - when applied in small doses over time - is devoid of value. I do think…

As a libertarian, I have always supported the civil liberties of the LGBT community, opposed the Patriot Act, and opposed the no-fly list.

So, vis a vis the magazine issue...

I understand what you’re saying. I would like you to consider an alternate approach that would have a much more realistic chance of accomplishing your goals.

You are correct. Much as people whine about them, the NRA was like #239 on Open Secrets as a political donor. They spend a lot more on lobbying and “outside spending” (which I interpret as ad buying), but they’re not buying anybody outright.

There’s a 110% chance I will be buying those packs. I was practically raised on the A-Team, and that MI level pack is going to be right up my son’s alley (a bike AND a car!).

I built a reloading bench with a “Signature Development” workbench from HD (http://www.homedepot.com/p/Signature-De…) and an extra wooden top that I glued on top of the existing top. Sturdy as hell, and it’s not going anywhere if you bracket it to the floor and/or wall.

You can get the pedestals for much cheaper if you look around. I want to say like $75 each, but it’s been a while. LG also has a clever system where you can get a second washer in the pedestal, and if you have kids, that seems extremely appealing.

IMHO, they’re much, much easier to unload when on a pedestal, moreso than a top loader. They also aren’t that noisy when balanced correctly. I have an LG front loader... it’s not overly smelly, and it’s a pleasure to use.

I have a Roomba, but it does not work well with hardwood floors and chairs with relatively narrow legs. Now that it’s summer and nicer out, we’ve started eating outside more, which has helped a fair bit.

In no way, shape, or form was I advocating that he SHOULD bang Triss. It was more that his “bang-Triss” feelings were impeding the actions he should probably take.

I think the blue pill would only compound BAWS problems. We’re talking about viagra, right?

If there is something my work and life experience has taught me, it’s that you can’t fix other people. People can only barely fix themselves, and generally only when their own personal happiness depends on it. If you want to be happy with someone else no matter what, you need to change your own perception of them and…

Hot take:

PSO2 never came out for the 360. Phantasy Star Universe did. PSU was under-rated, but is pretty much dead now.

OK, well, I’m level 30, have collected all the intel, and geared up. So, I’m telling you what the endgame is like. :P

The loot tables and drop rates are really the core fun problem. The over-powered players who exploited bugs could easily be segregated into other DZ brackets to avoid having too much impact on the non-cheaters. But, frankly, running dailies and incursions over and over in the hopes of getting a decent HE weapon gets…

Correct. But you said “the DZ is the game”. It’s _part_ of the endgame, but you’re also grinding hard/challenge missions and incursion missions for loot and phoenix creds. It’s like saying PvP is Destiny’s endgame... it’s part of it if you want it to be, but not the whole thing.
