So....they had the server where they were supposedly deleted from but they found them saved on a laptop?

opps nope doesn't say anywhere on here that they were the missing e-mails. Just that they found e-mails between her and her top aid who also used the laptop. I dunno how that's an oh shit moment since they knew she was with him.

Luckily we have people mature and intelligent enough to realize that there is a laundry list of Republicans and Democrats convicted of sex crimes.


We also know one side is more prone to actually hold them accountable for their action while the other will do everything in their power to get them off and sweep it under the rug.

Yea that is a pretty big disparity

One guy on the GOP side literally grooms children and one Democrat has a picture of him groping a lady over a flak jacket and we're supposed to believe they're the same thing?


He didn't actually grope her or anything, it has a picture of his hands reaching out to grab her while she slept pretending to go to do it. Not actually doing it.

Difference being one is assault the other not even enough to call a prank.

Whether that is true or not the fact that it would be effective in doing that is the problem, people should have seen through that thing and that woman and she should have gotten backlash for trying to compare. One side has to hold the absolute moral high ground while the other just a foot hold is enough and both are given equivalency. Only because of the level of corruption and propaganda by one side given.

Its shit. I don't like dextrose since people that are putting it in there are using it because its cheap but don't know if it has blaring health risks long term. It is known to have some harmfull affects that contribute to getting diabities though like high fructose corn syrup and other crap. And the cultured dextrose is just more bullshit trickery with how its made to get around being able to say its a processed food so the food industry can slap the "organic" label on there. I don't consider it to be organic though.

So I wouldn't recommend eating it any more than food with high fructose corn syrup in it.

Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., ventured into Mexico on Wednesday to help escort five female asylum seekers to the United States, his campaign said.

The 2020 presidential hopeful crossed the El Paso, Texas, port of entry into Ciudad Juarez with immigrant rights attorneys and advocates to get five women fleeing domestic violence admitted into the U.S. after they had been sent back to Mexico.

"These women had really horrific stories," Booker told reporters in El Paso. "They are survivors of sexual violence, attacks. They are being preyed upon. They have legitimate fears. This policy that we have, what it's doing is pushing people who are already vulnerable back into a dangerous situation."

Depends on how the game wants to manage them.
If they don't mind having 10 types of potions, then a constant number works fine.
If they only want 2-3 types of potions, then percentage works better (say, 25%, 50% and full heal)

And as someone else mentionned, depends on what the HP/MP cap is. If there's no cap, percentage based is better. With a cap, it's easy to make it so some give 100, 500, 1000, 2500, 5000, and full heal, as opposed to having 99,999HP to heal and 20 types of potions to use because they keep getting better and better.

I like the way Borderlands does it. One healing type item, and if you purchase it from a vending machine, the price goes up with your level. So you get more HP healed, but in return, you pay more for it. (though honestly I never had to buy health at machines, but it's still there I guess.. same for ammo though, price goes up the stronger you get, since you have more money to afford it)


Yea also depends on the item, magic potions should be different from other recovery items like food or water.

World of Warcraft had both.
Potions for instant recovery, food/water for recovery over a few seconds, and recipes that got better and better to accomodate the fact you kept getting stronger and had more HP/MP in the end.
Well then again, both the potions and food had a fixed ammount of HP they healed but.. the system was still neat


Yea I like MGS3's system best over all with food recovering life and stamina, but only up to a point if injured. Then medical items recovering for certain injuries llike burns, broken arm, poison etc.

agreed.

plus we have Orville on fox doing the traditional trek thing with comedy; and doing it very well.


Orville s good to, I like trek far more though.

Another thing is the captain isn't the focus of the show usually in most episodes its the captain. Told from the many different roles and label the main character is given and runs into which I find refreshing to see other sides and prospectives not explored before.

He's not doing it to show them anything....this was suggested by north korea not the other way around. He refuses to fix the infrastructure in america but is willing to build up NK's because he directly benefits and he can bring in some buddies to do it as well.

To fuck off.

We could just try not interacting with sentient piles of bloody diarrhea and not nuke or befriend them.


I'd rather see a diplomatic solution to bring North Korea under control. We haven't ever been on great terms with Iran either, but during Obama's presidency he worked out a deal with them that inhibited their nuclear weapons development which had bipartisan support. So why can't you give Trump some credit for trying diplomacy with North Korea?


Well for one his deal is said to be allowing him to keep the nukes and probably further develop them which would be.....you know the opposite of safe. Oh but they will open up a fast food resteraunt for him instead.



So give him nukes and more food. Yeah the great deal maker author of the art of the deal....

I'm sorry, but if you think the current working conditions of Amazon Warehouses is something new, then you're the type of person who does nothing regardless of knowing.

Considering this has been an issue back since 2016/2017.

https://www.newsweek.com/amazon-drivers-warehouse-conditions-workers-complains-jeff-bezos-bernie-1118849

Sanders introduced a bill on September 5 that would tax employers, like Amazon, when their employees need federal benefits, like Medicaid and food stamps, to help cover the cost of those services. The bill is called the "Stop Bad Employers by Zeroing Out Subsidies Act" or the "Stop BEZOS Act," just like the Amazon CEO's last name.


Actually I'm not the one arguing that this is inaccurate or that it just happens in some amazon warehouses and not others. So there are plenty of people who still think this doesn't go on as much as it does. So that doesn't mean I'm the default label you gave me.

John Oliver's report isn't just about workers rights like you posted it give more first hand accounts of the conditions that I didn't hear about and gave much more detailed information than what Bernie gave so this is something new and gave more added information on this.

Much of what you say is refuted by actual workers accounts, and I would be more apt it taking the credibility of that over your experience.

If everyone is so pissed that Trump is trying to lower the targets, maybe they should meet their own once before saying it's a bad idea.

https://cei.org/blog/report-finds-all-european-union-countries-failing-paris-climate-targets
CANEurope (Climate Action Network Europe) released a report this month that finds that all 28 member nations of the European Union are failing to meet the solemn obligations they undertook in ratifying the Paris climate treaty to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

The report begins: The ranking shows that all EU countries are off target: they are failing to increase their climate action in line with the Paris Agreement goal. No single EU country is performing sufficiently in both ambition and progress in reducing carbon emissions. Countries can and must to do more to achieve the goals of the Paris Agreement.

Sweden achieved the highest grade of 77%, with Portugal, France, the Netherlands, and Luxembourg scoring between 66 and 56. At the bottom of the rankings were Cyprus, Malta, Bulgaria, Estonia, Ireland, and Poland, which was dead last at only 16.


Weakening the goal obviously isn't the answer, the goal is set so it can be worked toward because its vital in the health of the planet. The health of the planet failing isn't changing because people weaken to goal. That's like saying we should just run 5 miles of a 10 mile race because everyone is just too tired to do the 10.

The real fix to the college is removing jery mandering I believe,

Gerrymandering has nothing to do with the EC, which is based on state lines.


https://www.thenation.com/article/three-strategies-block-gerrymandering-electoral-college/

As Republican National Committee chairman Reince Priebus promotes one of the most blatant assaults on democracy in modern timesa scheme to gerrymander the Electoral College so that the loser of the popular vote could win key states and the presidencythe number-one question from frustrated citizens is: What can we do about it?

Priebus is counting on precisely that cynicism, as well as the neglect of the story by major media, to enable the plan to have Republican legislatures and governors in key swing statesFlorida, Michigan, Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia and Wisconsinarrange for the distribution of electoral votes not to winners of the popular vote statewide but to the winners of individual congressional districts. Because of the gerrymandering of congressional district lines, the scheme would in 2012 have shifted the circumstance so that, in Pennsylvania for instance, the losing candidate, Republican Mitt Romney, would have won the overwhelming majority of the states electoral votes.

Under at least one scenario entertained by Priebus and his minions, Romneys 5 millionvote loss of the popular vote nationally still would not have prevented him from assuming the presidency.

The courts have criticized gerrymandering, and even suggested that there may be instances where it is unconstitutional. But they have been shamefully lax in their approach to the issueat least in part out of deference to the authority extended to individual states when it comes to drawing district lines. But when gerrymandering threatens the integrity of national elections and the governing of the country, this opens a new avenue for challenging what remains the most common tool for rigging elections.

It is time for state attorneys general who have track records of supporting democracy initiatives, such as New Yorks Eric Schneiderman, and state elections officials, such as Minnesotas Mark Ritchie, to start looking at legal strategies to challenging the Priebus plan in particular and gerrymandering as it influences national elections. This really is an assault on the one-person, one-vote premise of the American experiment. And retired Supreme Court Justice John Paul Stevens, among others, is advocating for a renewed push on behalf of fair elections.

Justice Stevens is right. That partisanship has moved from gerrymandering the state lines and US House lines to gerrymandering the presidential vote. The moment is ripe for a constitutional intervention.



Gerrymandering of the key states lines allows them to swing the election using the electoral college..

Its great that he discussed these issues, but does anything ever come of it?

No, it doesn't. That's the reason I quit watching his show, he points out a problem,there's no real solution to this problem, so he encourages others to solve it. That's kinda something comedy central guys like him do it's too depressing so I just quit watching that shit all together. All it does is reinforce the idea that the rich and powerful own us, kill us and treat us as less than human with absolute immunity


Well its news, exposing the information and getting it our there would be the first step to fixing it.


Yeah. Honestly, I do get the sentiment of being depressed by his show - I've seen a ton of his segments that just show me how much greed there really is out there. Hell, he did one on mobile homes recently, and I never really even considered just how greedy that industry that is, nor how trapped some people in mobile homes truly are. It's really easy to see stuff like this and just get cynical.

But at the same time, I do think it helps to spread awareness. If people start talking about it and it becomes a big enough PR issue for the company, they'll feel pressured to change it, at least. It may not always happen, but spreading awareness helps, even if there aren't bigger steps that we can directly take.

It's definitely iffy on how much these segments truly help at the end of the day, though, sadly. I know that John has started at least a few conversations on some pretty obscure issues, and I've seen some of them getting buzz despite being pretty ignored beforehand.


Yes this is true but his segments inform me what's going on that directly affects people I know and around me as well, like his segments talking about verizon wanting to replace the copper phonlines, or the reason why disaster insurance companies are making money of it and the source ultimately being congress, the amazon thing too as people have been taking about that they were hring with some people talking about applying there, same with walmart and many other things. They were very helpful and I gave an informed opinion on it to people while other wise I may have given mis information about it if I had not watched. A neighbor was even talking about starting some petition to go against the insurance rates which would ultimately be about removing this jery mandering the republicans have on congress that some petition or casual protesting about the insurance companies really isn't going to fix.

So it saves alot of time and effort and efficiency to know what you are up against and where the real problems lay.

large cities would basically dictate everything and ways of life in a large city is quite a bit different from rural or even the suburbs. neither system is perfect, but otherwise the 51% can "rule" over the 49%.


Yea I have gone back and forth on this, but it seems like the system is being abused to give republicans the advantage now especially when there are long wining streaks of democrats being in office. The real fix to the college is removing jery mandering I believe, and then allowing the system to work the way it should have to begin with and balance would be more restored.

I'm pro-life, and I don't support all these terrible immigration measures. And I sincerely doubt many pro-lifers would support what you described in the OP either so I don't get what your point is.


He's getting at that 80 percent or more conservatives support the office holder of potus and allow his criminal acts to continue most because they believe supporting getting rid of row vs wade is more important allowing concentration camps, underfunds for certain brown states that ARE citizens for hurricane relief, no push back for lumping seemingly all brown/black/non white with just being criminals passing laws that keep them incarcerated much of them innocent for their whole lives depriving them of their rights, not to mention health care being laxed especially for black and brown people having higher prenatal death way higher than they should, and many many other "pro life" issue that this guy is only putting on the rise. Some how outlawing abortion is more important than all of these issue that lead to more death.

Not to mention abortion being legalized actually dropped the numbers of abortions in the country, and certainly much more dangerous late term abortions in general that led to both the death of the child and the mother.
