Outside of Admiral's tone, because he always seem to be trying get one over on liberals. I can see what he means. My dad was talking about Wolf's book and made the comment "How can Trump be both a moron and some mastermind colluding with Russia" or something to that extent.

Which is pretty dangerous since it makes it easier to dismiss Russia's involvement with the election.

Trump personally didn't have to lift a finger to be complicit in collusion, he just needed to be aware of it and to have been ok with it.

Mayo on burgers/sandwiches is necessary because either the lettuce, tomato, or patty are wet/juicy enough to give you a soggy bun (which should optimally be toasted). In order to retain that toasty bun for as long as possible, the layer of oily mayo keeps them from seeping into the bun and leading to preemptive sog.

Is nobody going to question the fact that the hacker also had access to the victim's email? Obviously that's another sign that the victim has bad security practices.

(Still, not defending the "wrong" (I don't know, it's French) security question answer. That's fucked up)

EDIT: Also fuck this topic title

The hacker did not have access to the victim's email. That's probably why no one has questioned it.

So the hacker just entered six random digits?

Okay that's fucked

Not exactly.

Origin has a mail system that the hacker had access to because they had the account already. It was essentially two factor failure because the rep probably didn't even bother to check the secret question and then sent the verification code via the origin mail system. It would be like DMing someone already using the account if it was indeed their account. The hacker didn't need access to the email bound to the account from the beginning

UrCa1988

Maybe unfettered, open borders allowing of migrants would, but there's significantly more research that has proven vetted migrants tend to reduce crime overall.

http://research.newamericaneconomy.org/report/is-there-a-link-between-refugees-and-u-s-crime-rates/

We then looked at what happened to both their overall crime rates over the same time period using detailed data available from the Federal Bureau of Investigations. This revealed a telling pattern: Rather than crime increasing, nine out of 10 of the communities actually became considerably more safe, both in terms of their levels of violent and property crime. This included places like Southfield, Michigan, a community just outside of Detroit, where violent crime dropped by 77.1 percent. Decatur, Georgia, a community outside Atlanta, experienced a 62.2 percent decline in violent crime.

As the table indicates, there is one city, West Springfield, Massachusetts, that saw an increase in crime between 2006 and 2015. That city and the surrounding area, however, was also impacted by another trend that swept across many parts of America during that time perioda ravaging opioid epidemic. Numerous news articles tie drug-related gangs to a rise in violence in the area.[1] This phenomenon was already well underway before the most recent wave of refugees began arriving.

Just like I don't like smoking. But I would never stop anyone. Doesn't mean I would have the act in my house though

Are gay people going into your house, having sex, and not even washing your sheets or something? This is the dumbest attempt at veiled homophobia I've ever seen.


It is entering my home through most of television and the internet now.. a hotel near me was fined because they wouldnt hold a gay wedding couple. A wedding cake shop was fined and shut down because they didnt make a gay wedding cake with a big cock on it. I am vilified because I just keep hold to my personal standing.

I see normal everyday examples of people who just don't agree with it being treated like criminals.

Because they are criminals. They broke the law by choosing to discriminate against protected classes. Your discomfort at thinking of two sweaty men sticking their dicks into one another doesn't supercede the law.


My point proven. Those gay people could of gone to any other bakers or hotel. Yet they picked the Christian ones. Probably on purpose with the news media behind them. Disgusting

Then why don't you apply your logic to yourself and go to another website or watch another TV show if they're shoving "the gays" at you all the time. There's plenty of wholesome Christian programming you can fuck right off to if it hurts you so badly, you entitled bigot.


I do not watch it. they employ shock tactics, they suddenly flash a big cock on screen. Or have a gay kissing scene out of nowhere.

Quality Christian programming with reverend Joel Osteen is guaranteed to have zero big floppy dicks or wet kisses.

Complaining about millenials when you're likely one also lol. Shut the fuck up.


Ok so what if I'm a millenial. I actually work hard in blue collar to make $70K annually 60 hours a week. One of the reasons I went from white collar to blue collar was because I hated sitting around all day stuck in front of a screen doing computer work all day.

So do you realize how much work most twitch streamers have to put in to get successful? It isn't just easy gaming.


All you're doing is sitting in front of your computer playing video games and checking chat to respond to comments or questions and you get paid 6 figures to do so.

If you're one of the few huge ones, sure, you can do an occasional stream when you feel like it and rake in money. If you're a mid to small stream, you have a set work schedule, or you lose viewers and subs. You can't just play what you feel like if you want to grow. You have to invest money in better setups, you have to have a regular and engaging broadcast, you have to deal with working through sick days and personal issues. It isn't just "playing games and chatting".

True but I feel like it's no more of a commitment than a regular 9-5 job. A lot better in many ways, aside from just $.

When you start a 9-5 you just show up, do your work, and go home at the end of the day with a little more money in your bank.

You start twitch streaming, you get one viewer, they don't like you and leave, you continue stream by yourself the entire time. And this goes on for years. I have a friend who streams for fun and he's managed to amass a massive 20 person community in all the months he's been doing it. Imagine trying to make that your life this late in the game.

The simple change of having the world guide you is what makes it a game changer for me.

It's the same deal with Assassin's Creed where you go up a tower and the points of interest are marked on your map, minus the marking. It's nothing special and only feels novel because you have to mark things yourself. BOTW manages to get away with it by making the points of interest the most jarringly different thing in the landscape and the only thing not affected by draw distance. AC Origins had a nice middle ground for quests where you weren't immediately aware of where your goal was other than a rough location you were pointed to and you had to use the bird to scout from afar or get close enough yourself to determine where you needed to go.

Darmik posted...
I adore the Witcher 3. But following the major landmarks leads to nothing because they're saved for story missions. I remember taking the time to see what this huge ass tower was in the distance. Turns out it only had a locked door. I figured that it's gonna be a story mission and sure enough it popped up later.

I'll concede that, it sucks when parts of the game are arbitrarily locked for no reason other than "you can only visit this after the story checkpoint," but this is also uncommon. I can't even think of an area you couldn't go to from the beginning of Origins with the only actual gates being enemies that are way too high level for you. They even took a page from BOTW and let you scale mountains, the only things you really couldn't climb are pretty much completely sheer walls that it wouldn't make sense for you to be able to.

I honestly don't see it. I can't think of any open world game that has 5 destinations as objectives and nothing else. I suppose there's also the memories to get the better ending. Pretty much all of them have a scripted main quest that takes you all across the world. You generally bounce between the main characters who give you missions. Usually you are given objects or keys that unlock specific main quest dungeons or levels. BOTW avoids all of that.

The flow of an open world game is that you are guided to a destination, you complete the curated activity within that location and are advanced towards the resolution of the game. What BOTW has done is managed to hide the questgiver by giving you a tower you need to climb (you can choose not to, but I don't think you'll have much fun with a completely black map and no ability to track what you've done), which highlights some obvious nodes for you to check out, and then you go do them. That's the basic flow of all open world games. Just because you have a choice to do them or not doesn't even factor into the equation, because unless you're just that good to go fight Ganon at the start of the game (in which case you just ignored 99.9% of the game, good job, solid purchase and/or nice speedrun),you are very obviously guided to what you need to do. I'd be more apt to believe you that the game was truly open if it didn't give you massive structures readily visible from practically any location. You are told from the start by Rhoam that going to these towers to spot shrines is a thing you should do, then cuts out the repeated dialogue from there.
