We have no problems bringing in refugees, but they need to go through the proper vetting process first. We don't want to end up letting potential threats into the country. People illegally crossing the border haven't gone through that process and could be a potential risk. Nothing wrong with what he said and that's coming from someone that hates the Liberal Part of Canada.

Whoa whoa whoa.
Nobody said anything about illegally.

Irregularly. That's the word we use.

You'll have to refresh my memory. Did the nerd in question disguise himself with the intention of the cheerleader mistaking him for her boyfriend and subsequently getting the carnal knowledge?

This kind of makes me wish I had rigged up a giant trumpet.

Yeah, it includes mobile games.

My wife plays some matching game on her phone. I don't know any other details because who the fuck cares.

In that statistic, she is equal in playing videogames to me.

I give them money to go away.

I am aware it isn't helping them.

I don't care. I want them to go away.

There was a hat?

The hardest challenge will be not being able to control your party members.

I found it annoying that they seemed to have a super secret hidden stash of shit healing items, with no way to get them to use better ones.

Other than that though, they generally do a fine job, you just need to stay on top of adjusting their tactics.

In a weird way it made the characters seem deeper. Maybe because I as the player couldn't take credit for when they pulled off something clutch.

They have a special "get the fuck outta the way" light.

Is that his mom

People have the wrong idea about strip clubs.

Sek is Sweden money right?

Yeah those shoes are fine for Sweden. Wouldn't wear them elsewhere though.

I had a lot of fun with online the first couple of weeks. Boosting cars, knocking over convenience stores, the occasional mugging. Scraping together every dollar to get yourself that first piece of shit apartment.

Then a bunch of losers manipulated a glitch, got the company all defensive and to even things out dropped a quarter million on every player.

What the fuck. They shattered my immersion. How would my character get that. Whatever. Wasn't interested.

But I don't care. It's not for me. No worries. Let them cater to the people who want to buy their product.

Is that the mentally ill guy who uploads about 15 videos an hour?

Man I would lose my shit if that guy did that to me. By that I mean, I'd go total fan boy mode. I would definitely give a shout out to CE.

I played it a while ago. Close to when it first came out I think.

I got my farm all automated and everything by the begining of the second year. The thing with those games is, by the time I put together a winning strategy, I lose interest in the game. I hardly finish anything because of it.

I always jumped at the opportunity to wear the mouse costume.

So what does the guy in the suit do when the robots are active?

I worked the game floor. Mostly just unclogged the games and gave tokens as refunds.

You aren't following the nap rules.

-Lay on your back only.
-No more than a light blanket
-One hour max

I also feel like they didn't run with the changing costumes thing enough. They should have tried to appeal to a slightly more pervy audience.

I used to work at Chuck E Cheese. I always jumped at the opportunity to wear the mouse costume. When I first got there I thought that was something you'd have to work up to. Nope, nobody wanted to do that shit. Except me.

One time one of the air pressure pumps or something was busted on one of the animatronics and it was only kinda moving with a tenth of its strength. It was haunting to watch as it jerked and twitched to the music.

I'm a Gemini.

As am I.

I'm faithful.

What do you mean by faithful?

Never mind him.

Never mind yourself.

I would assume that my parents assumed that the villain would then do the super evil thing of offing the one they picked to save, so the survivor has to live with not being picked.

I'd applaud their strategery.

I remember the greatest generation storming the beaches of Normandy, sucker punching nazis, and running away.

Quick show of hands. Who thinks Paul Joseph Watson is a racist.

He insists he's not a racist but he sure is terrified of becoming a white minority in London. Jack certainly is a white nationalist. He has faked antifa material (flyers) to paint them as anti-white. These flyers contained a text that only a white nationalist would write down. It talked about the antifa agenda to stop the white race from producing racist white babies.

I'd be interested to see that if you have a link. I'm also assuming "Jack" is in reference to Paul J Watson. That always confuses me in conversation, but not as much as it confuses my friend Jack.

If I take it as a given that biological sex is seperate from gender, I realize I've never given any thought to what my gender is.

How do I figure out what I am?

Just stop and ask yourself "What am I? What do I want others to see me as?"

I am a dark enigma striving for redemption. I want others to see me as kind.

You be the judge.

You said PICS INCOMING!!!!

Pics. Where's the pics.

It is understood by me that they will never return, but my first assumption would be that I was the one who left. I would also doubt any belief I had that I was absolutely alone.

Something caused this to happen. I would put all energy towards finding out what, and try to reverse it.

Then I'd trip on something in an obscure government research facility I broke into, and die of some stupid complication. Game over.

Ummm...

As hideous and disgusting as the alt-right, Neo-Nazis, and the white supremacists message is, the left, mainly Antifa, did go there looking for a fight. It's outright unacceptable and damn vile that a person had to die expressing her first amendment right.

Anybody that thinks that only one side is to blame is either delusional or just plain trolling. It's like blaming just one side for all the gang violence inside an inner city. Is it the Cripts fault, is it the Bloods fault, or is it both sides fault?

Perhaps. But how would you feel if he said "both sides are bad" in response to any other terror attack? He calls other terrorists sad and thugs, but in this case "some of them are good people" - it is a severe change in language to his usual kind. And for a group of people with nazis among them.

In a vacuum, I'd agree. But this attack happened in the context of a year of escalating violence between antifa and the groups it counter-protests against, not all of whom are white identitarians.

Surely anyone who saw the footage of the guy taking a bike lock to the head knew it was only a matter of time before someone was killed.

This has been building for a while. The only appropriate response is to call out the violence on all sides. Unless of course, you're pushing for more violence, which admittedly a lot of people are.

The violence on both sides was not good, no. but what Luigi said is fueling the anger against Trump.

luigi13579 posted...

On his speeches, I think it's more the way that Trump handled them. The fact that he took so long to condemn the neo-Nazis by name played right into their hands. A lot of them believed that he was on their side, and when he refused to call them out specifically, they took that as implicit support (see the Daily Stormer response to the speech, for example).

If he'd specifically condemned the neo-Nazis straight away and then condemned all violence, Iso long initially, and then backtracked again, emboldened the neo-Nazis.

Only one side (between the neo-Nazis and counter-protesters, that is) has given support for Trump (and criticizing them would at least answer that question) and only one has an ideology that is inherently violent, hateful, racist, etc. (at least to the extent that it is).

If he intends to or not, he comes across as wanting to shy away from condeming nazi ideology, and trying to be "fair and equal " in blame when he almost never has for matters before. He has proven time and time again he doesn't hold back and strikes with all his fury. But this terror attack, he is suddenly reserved and proper? It doesn't make sense.

That's a fair point. The only explanation I could see would be that perhaps it's because both parties are American. Clearly it's debatable if the president is racist, as that debate is going on right now, but I don't think it's debatable that he is nationalistic as fuck. It wouldn't surprise me at all if he puts on the brakes when its citizens vs. citizens. He's also rather boisterous when it comes to crime, which would also be citizen vs. citizen, but in that scenario it's easier to show one side (law abiding citizens) as the clear victim. In this particular situation you had both side acting unlawfully (commiting violence). If anything, his words seem to be trying to put all people who use violence in one basket and everyone else in the other, regardless of what side they were on. Kind of a lawful neutral approach, which while flawed, would be the most effective path to restoring order, at least in the short term.

Yikes. I mean, choking someone to death isn't easy. You kinda have to keep going after they stop moving.

Let the kid go, put the mom in jail.

I take a week off about once a month. If you have an otherwise stressful life it really helps a lot to take a break.

Personally, I think you should take a chance with your ex. Sure, it might not end well, but then maybe it'll be out of your system. And if it does work out, all the better. It'll probably be better for your daughter also.

Sticky situation though. I mean, she's in a relationship with her boss. How serious is it? Might want to get her to make the first move.

I'd also recommend talking to her parents. They'll share with her probably, but you don't want to give her a chance to talk to them about you talking to them first if possible. See what they think about you two getting back together. They are your daughters grandparents. They're part of this. If you have a better relationship with one of them, go to them individually.

I'll be at work. I'm going to pretend I have no idea what's going on. Might even spout off about the apocalypse.

Normally my advice would be to drop both of them, but you've got a kid in the mix. Might owe it to them to give their mom another shot.

I'm assuming your kid is from your ex.

How poor are these life decisions we're talking about?

Do you get the feeling she wants to give it another go?

So, your ex made some poor life decisions, or you did?

What's your ex up to now?

Point being is it ok to marry someone your don't love just for financial stability, stable home life, companionship etc

It's not ideal, but I guess it's okay. Worse things happen. So to answer your question, sure. It's okay.

However, I will require it to be consummated.
Mwahahahahahah...

Marriage is legally just a glorified Durable Power of Attorney, so yeah.

By marriage I mean commit your life to them.

So... Not marriage.

I have a friend who did it this year. Headed the same direction too. It seems unlikely you'd have run into each other though. Or maybe not. I don't know how many of you there are.

If you believe they are completely irredeemable and you cannot coexist, you have to kill them. Are you prepared to take that step?

That escalated quickly.

Things have been escalating quickly for some time.

He doesn't know specifically. It was an attempt at diplomacy. You're not going to be able to pull anyone back from extremism if you label them as irredeemable.

Well they f***ed that up. They just caused them to be more prepared to meet violence with violence. Which was wildly predictable.

To be clear, most of the people who subscribe to Neo Nazi rhetoric are already the types of people who carry around weapons.

In this specific instance, the antifas' stated goals in Charlottesville were to protect the counter-protesters. Multiple of the clergy members and others claimed that they wouldn't have survived the weekend without them being there to defend them.

You can go "Lol but someone still died so they failed" all you want, but I think it's foolish to believe that things would have just gone peachy if they weren't there.

My whole point is that by the time last Saturday rolled around it was too late. This has been building up for a year, and there's no going back at this point. I don't think what happened last weekend would have happened a year ago. its because of the escalation of violence, slowly over time, that brought us to the point we are at now where we have a fatality. I'm surprised it didn't happen sooner. There is a lot of blame to go around, but I don't think there's any question that the people who promoted the "punch a nazi" rhetoric have done nothing but make the situation worse.
They aren't the worst offenders, and I'd definitely put them below anyone responsible for the police standing down so these brawls could occur.

I'm okay with punching Nazis and White Supremacists, but I'm also in favor in punching these radical BLM and ANTIFA people that attack people and burn things down.

Both sides need to be beaten down.

I give up. The country is fucked, goodnight everyone.

So you agree that punching is a counterproductive act that doesn't even rise to level of a half-measure?

No?

I think you are misinterpreting the goals of many people who say "Punch Nazis". It's not some thought that with enough punches you'll convince them that their viewpoint is wrong.

So what is the goal?

I think the goal of the antifas is to make neo-nazis/white supremacists/etc. not feel safe spreading their hate speech.

Well they fucked that up. They just caused them to be more prepared to meet violence with violence. Which was wildly predictable.
