Like that time he dodged having to condemn David Duke by pretending he didn't know who he was? The mental gymnastics you have to go through to pretend that Trump's response was normal... it's staggering, really. But back to the topic at hand... SF bay area Antifa is indefensible. On at least three occasions this year, they've literally acted like terrorists: first when they showed up to Milo's event in paramilitary gear and tried to light fire to the building; second when they called in a threat against Ann Coulter a month later; third, this latest story. Three strikes-- in the same year, no less-- they're done. They stand for violence and they cannot be redeemed. And if other regional chapters of Antifa fail to proactively call out their bay area counterpart, then the entire national movement is complicit. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Topic | Were you surprised that Donald Trump won the U.S. presidency? |
| Polycosm 08/29/17 6:22:48 PM #19 | I wasn't as surprised as most people. I always believed in the 538 model which gave him a roughly 1-in-3 shot over the final weekend. I thought that it was the less likely outcome, but I knew that it was still very possible. It was surreal, watching it play out though. I didn't really feel the weight of it all until the results started coming in. The whole thing still felt shocking, in a weird sense. Like, "wow, America actually just did this." My optimism for the future had a near-instantaneous drop that night, despite all the time I had had to prepare for the very real possibility of a Trump victory. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Topic | Hyrule Warriors worth on 3DS? |
| Polycosm 08/25/17 9:03:07 AM #18 | I've only played it on the Wii U. The core gameplay is addicting. It doesn't evolve much past the 10-hour mark, yet the game offers hundreds of hours of content (plus extensive DLC). It's the ultimate "filler" game. I spent around 200 hours with it (and didn't come close to finishing the DLC maps) before I grew tired of the formula and needed a break. Your mileage may vary. It's a great value and a good time-sink, imo. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket. (thengamer.com/guru) |

| Polycosm 08/24/17 5:51:33 PM #33 | On one hand, context matters. On the other hand, so does nuance. I'm not going to accept a two-week moratorium on being White, patriotic and pro free speech every time the fucking KKK makes the news with one of their sickening rallies. There's a window of time were the only appropriate response to a Charlottesville type of event is to denounce white supremacy and then be quiet. However, these hostile reactions to the ACLU are starting to look more like a tribalist frenzy. You can't use "context" as an excuse to shut down nuanced critique indefinitely. I'm also growing tired of keeping quiet about Antifa as people heap praise on them. No, they're not as bad as the KKK. No, they're not the most violent movement in the US. But the SF bay area chapter did show up at UC Berkeley earlier this year in full paramilitary gear and set fire to the campus. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.

| Polycosm 08/24/17 1:35:54 AM #25 | It's a curious move to post the picture and then apologize. Makes me wonder what message they were going for originally? Obviously not a pro-Nazi one, given that it's the ACLU, although they have historically defended free speech rights for everyone, including the KKK. I'm kind of put off by the hostile response. How long do I have to wait before it's okay to be White, patriotic and an advocate for free speech again? Because I'm all of those things, and still not a white supremacist. Judging by the reaction to this pic though, I'd probably be crucified if I posted anything about the 1A on Facebook right now. So... do I have to wait a month?

But I'm not going to hold it against anyone if they want to play Starfox 2 (or other SNES titles not available through a virtual console service).

| Topic | Is it true that GoT gets bad once they pass up the books? |
| Polycosm 08/22/17 12:56:53 AM #39 | Everyone's got their own opinion on this... I'd say that the show gets better and better over the course of seasons 1 through 4. Seasons 5 and 6 take a dip, mirroring the lull in the source material. Season 7-- now 100% ahead of the books-- is moving at breakneck speed. The show has made some smart changes and some not-so-successful changes. The most noticeable consequence of the show being ahead of the books, imo, is that Tyrion's dialogue (i.e. the voice and unfiltered wit of GRRM himself) has suffered immensely. The recently-aired S7E6 had fantastic dialogue all around though, so it's not like D&D are totally blowing it. I think that the budget is the biggest problem right now. The story demands motion picture quality at this point and HBO is somehow delivering hours of it... but the show is also suffering under the reduced episode count this season. I can get over fast-travel, but we're also moving too fast for believable character development in some cases, now. Over all though, season 7 represents a strong recovery from the somewhat sleepy two seasons that preceded it. --- BKSheikah owned me so thoroughly in the 2017 guru contest, I'd swear he used the Lens of Truth to pick his bracket.
