An ideal VP is one who stays out of the news cycle the majority of the time, with any actual appearances being mediocre or expected (starting a committee to help X disenfranchised group or going to Y country for negotiations. That’s what we usually get. Kamala has been constantly appearing in the news cycle, and…

It doesn’t help that Kamala is doing her best to bork every possible task, Biden completely gaffed the withdraw, and we are watching western economies collapse due to relying on only a few key players.

You couldn’t hand Trump and his followers a more shiny platter if you tried.

He made fun of a “protected group”, and came out on a side (TERF) most people here find to be wrong. TERFs are not inherently bad, they just have a different opinion on who should be included in feminist politics. Unfortunately, misogynistic trolls have caught on. Same thing happened with Gamergate.

My guess is someone internal helped a third party for cash, and got roped into hacktivism.

Understanding how twitch does what it does, and why it does certain things, can be an enormous help to smaller streaming sites or anyone looking to start one. I would be very surprised if this wasn’t DLed by LTT both for content and to dissect for Floatplane. I bet Google is going to spread this to engineers. You cant…

Well ya let em grow in population for the lean times, the war times. 

America still has slavery enshrined in the 13th amendment. It was actually a problem for CA, because most of their wildfire fighting force was slave labor.

Its not really though. My Stellaris empires make extensive use of slaves (in particular Domestic Servants and Chattel Slaves) because there are no appreciable downsides. The slaves don’t have any political power, and they tend to be easy to keep down with 1 or 2 upgraded enforcer buildings (or a Psi-Ops building). I…

Im down for sending the doses where they are needed, I was just under the impression that many of the “extra” doses being saved to help anti-vax idiots were rotting away unused.

Dont we have vaccine shots going to waste because of anti-vaxxers? And didnt we sign several huge deals recently?

If we have shots going to waste instead of arms, maybe let the intelligent people get a booster?

Ever read an article where someone dived way too deep into something that is actually simple (like an action movie?)

I heard it more as Nhhaaaagaaaaa, Which granted sounds really close when said aloud. They probably should axe it before the internet explodes.

This is a by product and a catch 22 of anti-discrimination laws. If you don’t have them, a dominate group will rise and try to crush other populations to maintain power. If you do have anti-discrimination laws, (ostensibly to protect the other populations) then you can expect the dominate population to also use them…

No your right, the gun is completely closed when it fires. Even worse.

It also doesn’t look like they know anything about physics. That amount of movement in the rail would cause the projectile to tumble while its accelerating. It would either rip the “barrel” apart at worst or create an unpredictable weapon at best. 

He was forgettable in DA:O. You meat him trapped in a bubble, and he tries to convince you to kill the mages. You can talk him down or fight him. Other than meeting him after clearing the tower he doesn’t really do anything of import.

In DA2, he is in the templar order for the city your in (forget the name). You can…

That’s the point of the Revendreth zone. Some people were evil in a past live, but maybe they did that evil for (what they perceived) the right reasons. Maybe they sacrificed that city to save 10 more, or perhaps they thought deploying that weapon would ensure peace. They now get to spend X centuries understanding the…

You work hard to buy something, so it belongs to you.

If some dickweed breaks into your house, the one place on earth you should absolutely feel safe, to still your thing, then yea fuck that person. They obviously valued that thing way more than your peace of mind or well-being. Why should you need to be the better…

The thing about guns (and cars) is that they are mechanical devices that need to constrain some very violent forces. Even your cheapest gun (say a high point or some lower end pump shotgun) are going to have to be made to a certain minimum quality to not blow up in your hands. They may be ugly, and it may not be the…

Im in the same boat, and we are kinda locked down for the next two months covering people. At this point in 2020 though I expected something worse.
