So wait...Charlotte Pence wrote a book and the proceeds are going to combat human trafficking, which is a good thing.

But people are rallying behind John Oliver for undermining it because it's cool to troll politicians they don't like?

Jesus Christ. She is a better person than he is.

I don't think you understand, sir.

Pence is RELIGIOUS.

We can't just let him get away with that.

1) Obviously I get why Republicans are doing this, but the last couple years have proven why you really ought to write rules down if you actually want people to follow them

2) Diane Feinstein is one of the few (maybe only?) Democrats to go along with this

Honestly I think we all thought the President has to follow more rules than they actually do.

Trump is just showing us that there's no actual rules.

Well, I guess I better prepare for such a life.

People tell me that I am still young, and that eventually I will find a girl who likes me too, but I don't think that's going to happen.

You're barely into your 20s. You have all the time in the world

Lol, not even 20, won't be 20 for a few more months.

Still, it doesn't matter how much time you give me, I will never find someone that I like that likes me back. It is really scary to think of being 40, then 50, then 60, and so on, and I am still alone.

dude just shut up.

the moment you move out into the world and get a job and start living your life, some chick is gonna come along and ruin your life.

Hey as long as their fatality and error rate remains below human drivers self driver cars are the future.

The problem is that they're currently comparing against an AVERAGE human driver, which means all the bad drivers are messing with that average.

The self-driving cars are NOT as good as a good, attentive driver. And if I get into a car, I want a good, attentive driver(such as myself).

Why would I want an AI that can't drive as well as I can driving for me?

Self-driving cars shouldn't be allowed until they are better than the BEST human drivers, not just the average one.

ricky gervais is a terrible person with no social skills

he single handedly ruined that "Talking with Comedians" show because you've got 4 comedians there all sharing their thoughts/stories, but in every single moment of the show you've got Ricky Gervais interjecting with his dumb laugh and yelling something to interrupt. The other 3 comedians are all calm and conversing with each other like normal, social individuals while that fucking clown just ruins the whole show.

He's like the Jimmy Fallon of comedians, but more annoying.

Douglas vs Tyson was nearly as much of an 'upset' as people made it out to be.

People just over-hyped Tyson. Tyson was mortal and Buster Douglas was a strong man and a good boxer.

Buster was 29-4 when he knocked out Tyson, and ended his career 38-6.

Honestly, what they need if they really want to move into the next gen with Pokemon, is to ditch the RNG encounters.

Encounters should be much more rare, but you should just see Pokemon while you're out exploring around.

The turn-based battle system is fine, but they need to add a layer of exploration beyond 'walk in the grass'.

Guess what: the only thing that can force Trump to carry out his duties is Congress, so this argument is purely academic. The president isn't supposed to ignore Congress, but he can if Congress lets him get away it(which this Congress will).

Yep, just like the one who can punish Kellyane Conway for repeated ethics law violations is Trump, but Trump just allows her to do it.

It turns out that one thing we never knew, is that if you're the President and just choose not to give a fuck, there's not much most people can do to stop you.

Some people wanted him to sanction Russia for whatever reason. Trump said no.

He doesn't get to say no. The sanctions passed Congress nearly unanimously and were signed by his own hand. It's his constitutional duty to carry those sanctions out.

What you're saying is empirically false, as shown by the fact that he did say no, and nothing came of it.

The president has a constitutional obligation to faithfully uphold the duties of his office, and that includes implementing legislation that's passed Congress and been signed into law, regardless of whether or not he agrees with it. Trump and his party are trampling the Constitution because they aren't willing to actually prosecute his infractions, and you're perfectly okay with that?

Now you're kind of splintering the issue into two here.

I was okay with Trump not wanting to put sanctions on Russia at that point, yes.

But Trump being okay with ignoring the constitution is a separate issue altogether. I don't agree with ignoring the constitution. I think politicians should follow the rules.

I'm not bashing you. I'm just wondering what you thought about Trump refusing to issue sanctions on Russia.

Some people wanted him to sanction Russia for whatever reason. Trump said no.

I personally thought that the reason they wanted to sanction them to begin with was flimsy, and that the rejection of it was justified.

It's like if we're in a class together and everyone is like, "Yo SteveNick, you should punch CableZL". The vote is unanimous, they all want me to punch CableZL but I'm like, "Uhh why? I'm not gonna punch CableZL."

It's starting to look a little more like Trump may have rejected the sanctions for ulterior reasons, as more information comes out, but at the time it looked like he was just making a sensible decision.

Why are people bashing you @Steve_Nick for changing your mind, especially when you're now on their (our) side?

Man, I'll never understand the disposition on this board sometimes.

Oh, you just have to learn to ignore certain posters on these boards.

A lot of them only seem to exist to shout hostility and spread toxicity everywhere they go.

Also, to clarify, I don't feel as if I've changed my mind, it's just that there's been so much nonsense in the air from both sides for the past year and a half that it would be stupid to make assumptions. But the new developments seem like a pretty obvious cause & effect of "Say anything negative about Russia, and you're gone". Trump hadn't really shown anything but neutrality towards Russia prior, openly at least.

Seems like he's stepped over the line this time, and is actively prioritizing Russia rather than just making nice with them.

It's understandable that Bluehole is upset, because Fortnite has drawn millions of players away from them. The two games share the same playerbase and Fortnite has probably cut PUBG's playerbase in half as a result.

Not that them being upset should mean anything to anyone, but it is understandable that they are upset on a personal level. They're losing hundreds of millions of dollars over Fortnite, at the very least.

The topic post doesn't even try to follow basic math or logic.

If AVERAGE rent is whatever, then AVERAGE pay wage should correspond to that.

You're trying to boost the fucking MINIMUM to the AVERAGE.

Minimum wage should be enough to pay for minimum rent, not average rent.

Yeah that's a dumb position for Bluehole to take. Who cares what Fortnite is doing? Anecdotally it seems like the two games attract two different gamer groups. I don't know of many that like both games. It's either one or the other.

I like both. Fortnite offers a more casual and quick paced experience, but I usually default to Pubg. I like longer rounds and winning feels more worth it with oubg.

fortnite more casual? LOL

Fortnite is about a million times more difficult to pick up and learn and has a much higher skill ceiling.

PUBG is the casual experience.

So true. They acted like Bannon was satan himself for months on end, then Trump fires him and the narrative immediately shifts in favour of Bannon and against Trump.

That's why it's best to just ignore all the noise they're making. They don't have any purpose but to tear down the 'opposition'. If they ever managed to get Trump impeached, that'd just be day 1 of the screeching over how horrible Pence is.

Comey is another example. He went from 'the reason Trump won' to 'liberal martyr' in ~3 months.

It was simply just obvious he had a bias towards Russia and you just let identity politics let you think there wasn't.
