| Topic | #gamergate |
| s0nicfan 05/25/19 5:59:39 PM #5 | WaterLink posted... I still dont quite get what that was about. The short version is that it started with concerns about nepotism between indie game journalists and the indie game community that quickly spiraled out of control and became mostly about culture wars with a small group continuing the ethics fight but losing the battle over public perception of what gamergate is. You'll find the significant number of articles saying the gamergate is purely about sexism, but you'll also find the Society of professional journalists acknowledging the ethical concerns that were brought up in the beginning. So it really is more two very different things under the same hashtag. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

There was a nomination period where you could vote for individuals to get on the show, and I'm pretty sure Terri Schiavo got voted up to the number one spot before being removed. And then the number one spot was replaced by something else, maybe SpongeBob? I think the showrunner is eventually just purged the entire front page of results.

Look at the states that have the largest tobacco influence and I would be willing to bet those will be the last to be legalized. The Philip Morris World Headquarters is in Virginia, and a quick Google search shows that Virginia is pretty strict in terms of marijuana possession, so if I had to make a more educated guess I would say Virginia. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | Which state will be the last to legalize marijuana? |
| s0nicfan 05/25/19 3:26:52 PM #26 | Schwarber posted... Well that's disappointing. I don't agree with a lot of your views, but you're usually more informed. Hopefully I get partial credit for at least admitting I was wrong. If it makes you feel any better, it was slightly more thought out than throwing a dart at a board. I figured most people would pick the stereotypical Deep South States without much thought, and that the state that elected Sarah Palin couldn't possibly have already legalized recreational marijuana. It's a state that has been solid Republican for a quarter of a century, so I was just as surprised as I'm sure other people were to hear that it was already legal there. It should probably be federally legalized, but realistically I think you're going to have to see way more States legalize it independently before the federal government jumps in, and that will only be because so many states will be turning a profit on taxes and Washington will want to get in on that action. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | So Trump invoked emergency powers to sell weapons to Saudi Arabia |
| s0nicfan 05/24/19 5:40:06 PM #10 | Its shitty of him to bypass congress like this, but this isn't a Saudi Arabia arms deal. It's a suite of multinational arms deals worth about $8B of which Saudi Arabia is one of many countries. My bigger concern is this deal and its likely relations to ratcheting up tensions with Iran. https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/national-security/trump-to-sidestep-congress-to-clear-arms-deals- benefitting-saudi-arabia-uae/2019/05/24/367f4990-7e4d-11e9-a5b3-34f3edf1351e_story.html Secretary of State Mike Pompeo notified lawmakers Friday that President Trump is invoking his emergency authority to sidestep Congress and complete 22 arms deals that would benefit Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates and other countries, despite lawmakers objections to the transactions. Yet the breadth of the Trump administrations decision Friday, which benefits many more countries than just Saudi Arabia and the UAE, Irans regional rivals, will probably upset members of both parties, according to congressional aides. Thus far, however, few are openly criticizing it, save for figures such as Rep. Justin Amash (R-Mich.), who is also the only congressional Republican to have endorsed the idea of impeaching Trump. Democratic congressional aides pointed to one transaction a deal to support manufacturing and production of F-18 combat jets as particularly disturbing. Saudi Arabia does not use F-18s but helps make them for countries such as Israel, India and South Korea. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

Like they get credit for being the first band to have doubletracking but that was invented by Ken Townsend. The Beatles had an incredible engine behind their success and while I don't want to downplay the quality of their songwriting, its unfair to give them credit for industry influence that, in many cases, was a byproduct of them using something someone else invented. It's sort of like crediting Apple for the invention of the MP3 player because the iPod was so successful and spawned so many knock-offs. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

| Topic | How much to spend on a wedding ring? |
| s0nicfan 05/24/19 5:07:59 PM #2 | Buy a ring online through a manufacturer and then have it independently appraised and insured. Jewelry stores are a massive scam and up-charge significantly. I bought a ring on ebay after shopping around and it was appraised at a jewelry store at a value roughly 4-5x what I paid. Don't just buy from anyone, though. Find a jeweler that makes their own bands and set their own diamonds. Otherwise you could get scammed. --- "History Is Much Like An Endless Waltz.

But I can also see it tremendously fucking with someone that has lost a loved one and has been clinging onto a photo of them. There's research going on where you can take a video clip from anyone and if the angles are right record your own dialogue and make it look like they said it. We're less than a decade away from an era where everything (video, pictures, stories, etc) can be synthetically generated to make anyone we want say anything we want or be anywhere we want in any picture or video with nearly no way to tell it was spoofed.
