A feel like Jalopnik covered a story a couple years ago about a young lady who came to a full stop on the highway to avoid hitting some ducks. Good news for the ducks. Bad news for the father and daughter on the motorcycle riding behind her. They both died. The driver went to jail (for criminally negligent…

1. Yea. You’re right on all points.

It’s interesting that you view “acting” and “lying” as two different things in this context. If he knew about Mrs. Popovich’s death before the interview, he reacted as if he didn’t know. That would be ... a lie. Maybe it was to be more dramatic, or to show his human/emotional side, or whatever reason. It’s still a…

Because his word doesn’t seem to line up with his reaction during the interview.

replace “correct” with “natural” if that makes you feel better.

agreed.

There was a sense of urgency because she had him there, on-camera, with the full-size tv audience still tuned in. Most of that audience is not staying to watch a Game 2 press conference that starts 15 minutes later, and most locker room interviews aren’t on camera. His reaction is newsworthy, and seeing his reaction…

Yea. An initial response of “wow .... ummmm........shit,” is the honest and correct reaction, but it would suggest he wasn’t prepared for that question. It seems like Bron is doing some revisionist history to protect a reporter from (i believe) unfair criticism. I’m not mad at him for that.

So ... the frat is suspended. Cool, cool. But what about the students themselves?

If this stuff was actually covered by attorney-client privilege, why would he need to take the additional step of high-level encryption? It would already be inadmissible in court. Encrypting it would have no impact from a law enforcement perspective. But if he were concerned about being hacked, burgled, etc., that may…

wait wait wait ... you forgot totalitarian, xenophobic, dementia-addled, serial sexual assaulter.

Ryan has been one of the GOP’s most effective fundraisers. By peacing out now, he’s basically telling donors that 2018 is a lost cause. So even though the GOP was already going to take a beating, now they’ll do it with less money to spend.

Leaving Congress wouldn’t do anything to protect him from the Mueller investigation, though.

E. He wants to leave now so he doesn’t get blamed for losing the House in 2018. But he doesn’t want it to look like he wants to leave now. So he says “I’ll leave in January,” knowing Republicans will try and succeed in forcing him out now.

Naw. He’s spent the past 18 months or so (reluctantly) carrying Trump’s water. He’ll have no leg to stand on if he tried to primary him now. The GOP is fully under Trump’s control, and Ryan played a large role in helping that happen. So what argument could he make for replacing Trump, especially when most GOP voters…

Same. Back seats on the ATS and the Jag XE were dealbreakers. Great cars for driving. Terrible cars for having family or friends. Damn shame.

Yea, what I’m saying is that Inquisition had so many random tangential quests because so many people complained that DA2 didn’t give them enough to do. So they added a shit ton more stuff to do. And....people complained about having too much to do. Even though they didn’t have to do any of those side quests at all.

Yea DA2 stuck a pretty damn great story into a frustrating mess of a game.

LOL. Nope. You are right and you win. Done.

A backstory didn’t really help in DA:2 though. I think people need to accept that Inquisition was largely a response to the various (and valid) complaints about DA:2. Even though DA:2 had one of my favorite stories ever in gaming, it was completely miserable gameplay-wise. If people go back and re-experience that…
