Is it?

There needs to be a realistic alternative before they can jump ship. That’s been the problem for a while. Right now YouTube has all the power, because there aren’t really alternatives and they have total control.

I guess there were some people like that. I just had a lot of people tell me I was just trashing it because it was dark because I didn’t like the changes to Batman and Superman, and that wasn’t my point. Yeah, they made them both darker, and I didn’t like them, but it wasn’t just because they were darker. It was…

I don’t think people thought it was bad because of the dark tone. In my experience, it was the people who defended it who liked to claim “You just didn’t like it because it was dark!”

The thing is, though, they didn’t actually put almost any story in the game. You’re right that they do focus on the satellite content too much, but they needed to just put the actual story in the game. Especially since Chief’s team is supposed to be these great, legendary Spartans, and they just suck in the game. …

And the sad thing is that they teased a really interesting story, and then didn’t follow that thread. I heard one theory today that they must have been actually planning to follow ONI hunting Chief as the main story at some point, and then changed it. This O’Conner guy says that it was meant to be a surprise. I’m…

I need a moment to compose myself so I can give a proper response to this...

Sanctuary cities are just better though. The problem right now is that our economy is based on bringing in illegal workers. Yet, if one has to talk to the cops for any reason, including to report a crime, they can be deported. Sanctuary cities are just recognizing that these people are here, and allow them to be…

I have to admit, I didn’t even read the article because I saw that they were describing people as “victims of immigration” and that is downright chilling. I’m not a fan of Nazi comparisons generally, just because it’s cheap and usually over the top. However, when you are trying to work people up in a rage against…

You know Obama did far fewer than Bush, right? And that he only started leaning into them when the Republicans made it clear they wouldn’t work with him on anything? Is any of this ringing any bells?

Part of it is his terribly low poll numbers, and then the reasons why. If he were a regular president, without the constant need to say crazy shit and with no possibility he stole the election by colluding with a foreign power, he’d have 50 or 60% approval, and he’d just be able to push things through. Even that…

I think you may have missed Obama’s entire first term. The healthcare negotiations that lead to Obamacare went on for like 13 or 14 months. The Republicans tried to delay the whole process and polls showed that Obama was getting the blame for not getting anything done, and finally they said that they needed to start…

Yeah, supposedly that first God awful Muslim ban was written by Bannon and Miller and no one else. They didn’t even run it by the White House council, or any of the relevant heads of the agencies. The two of them, with no expertise in the area, just wrote the damn thing and Trump signed it. That’s why it was…

Yeah, that is the problem. I don’t think he gives a damn about what his powers are or what powers are supposed to belong to Congress. He wants to do it, so he will. And if the courts block him, he’ll just insult the judge.

Has anyone in the Trump administration even read the Constitution? They think they can just do anything through executive order. And this is especially ironic after all the criticism of Obama’s executive orders. At least Obama admitted what he was doing. He tried like hell to work with the Republicans in Congress,…

Yeah, that might have been the way I did it. I thought that there was also a way to make it so that it would only come through your headset. That way, if you didn’t have one plugged in, you just didn’t hear it at all. I could be remembering that wrong. It was a long time ago. But I just remember whatever it was I…

Society has moved pretty fast on this. I watched Chasing Amy a few weeks ago, and the character Banky is so different today. I mean, at the time, it was understood that what he was saying was offensive, but it was also pretty mainstream. Everyone knew someone who threw those terms around. Now it seems like he might…

Yeah, there’s just no defense here. If you cut someone off from water for any number of days, you are trying to kill them.

I’m guessing there are a lot. It always strikes me as odd, though, and I have trouble giving them the benefit of the doubt. I mean, your example of using “gay” that way was ubiquitous in my youth. I never ran into people throwing the N-word around like this until maybe ten years ago, and I was shocked then. My…

At some point it hits a critical mass, I would say. I mean, I grew up with people in the Midwest who used “gay” as a term for stupid or lame. I tried talking some friends out of that in 7th grade and they looked at me like I was an alien. The idea that using that word for something like that was inherently putting…
