Hillary fanboys still manage to make the dumbest possible takes even in this climate.

We'd have more wars than this, and sooner, if Hillary was elected. That's the whole point of "they're both terrible candidates".

Vote for an actual fucking anti-war candidate in the primary this time if you want to have any say against these wars.

The democratic party is generally pretty pro-military action but "more wars than this and sooner" is a fucking embarrassing take

Oh is he?

In that case I'll just say that if he isn't willing to participate in the war himself, he should stop being supportive of one being fought.

That goes for any punk ass who's like "Yeah, let's blow them up!"... while safely sitting on their butts at home.

Israel has mandatory conscription for Israeli citizens over the age of 18 so it's possible this isn't the burn you think it is

Yeah let's wait until they get a nuclear weapon and start a war themselves

you realize, of course, that:

1) Iran doesn't really have anything to gain from starting a war with the US unprovoked (we keep provoking them because we want war)

2) we literally negotiated a deal with them under which they would not have nuclear weapons, and our current president pulled out of the deal

Oh yeah, sure, Cruz would've won the nomination. But I don't know if that makes him a strong nominee.

I mean, for as much as Trump supposedly energized the electorate, he still lost by 3 million votes to Clinton

I have no idea what happens in a Clinton/Cruz matchup, but I don't think Cruz sells as well in the midwest states that were Trump's tipping point, and it isn't particularly clear to me that he makes up much ground in the popular vote either if any

Yeah. Plenty of legitimate reasons I could think of too-- like maybe there is a glitch that appears with random chance that can end a run with no real in game way to avoid it without that file being modified. I don't really wanna do the research so I'll give the benefit of a doubt, just didn't like the blanket statement is all.

That's fair

I wouldn't really be sure if the community knows best for a lot of things. I can't comment on Fallout 2 in particular but there's a certain level of groupthink and self-preservation inherent in a lot of long running communities that can poison the ability to be objective there even if they do know the game better than the masses. Lot of reasons I could think to allow that and many aren't really rooted in keeping the speed run pure or whatever-- could just be to make them more interesting which is good for viewership I guess but yeah.

Again can't speak for FO2 in particular but plenty of communities I wouldn't really trust to be objective about their game with decisions is all I'm saying

That is true, actually, but I bristle a little bit at how often people say something is cheating or unfair without really having full understanding of the game's speedrunning history and sometimes without having full understanding of the game itself

Like, these choices are made for a reason

(not accusing wazzup of this to be clear)

I was responding to Wazzup to be clear, TRE was obviously making a joke

I mean, the lines are pretty much always drawn wherever a particular community chooses to draw them, and they know best

I have questions

I figured it out, got the same answer as Martin. The trick to the puzzle for me: the fact that we had enough info after he asked about the Whites. The whites must have 1 or 2, because if they had 3 there would be a minimum of 3+4+5+6 children, or 18. If the product was reachable in two ways, one with 1 and one with 2, we would gain no info from the last question - we would have no way of knowing what the answer was. But if there were three ways, two with 1 and one with 2, then we know by the fact that there were no further questions that he must have said "yes" - if he said no he wouldn't have had enough information. That's the only way for us to know the answer to that question.

And then from there i just tried a bunch of stuff until I got an answer that fit.

...does full throttle believe that domestic goats don't exist...? as if this guy was keeping like a wild mountain goat as a pet or something
