Her husband's questionable relationship with sex-trafficker Jeffrey Epstein was, shall we say...problematic (at best)

Yeah, it's not like Trump had a relationship with Epstien. It's not like Trump publicly admitted to grabbing women by the pussy. It's not like Trump didn't have a bunch of women accusing him of sexual assault and rape.

If your problem with Hillary was that her husband had bad sexual proclivities than you can't be okay with Trump (unless you're a hypocrite).

Drink as much water before you go to sleep! (take a vitamin and maybe some ibuprofen too, and you'll probably be okay in the morning)

Do NOT take acetaminophen (Tylenol), which is in a lot of pain relievers.

Acetaminophen is hard on your liver, alcohol is hard on your liver. However the affect of the two do not add together, they multiply. It's pretty easy to do liver damage this way.

I had a trimming accident and shaved it all last April and am now regrowing. I'm not an overly vain person or anything, but maintaining a beard is kinda fun, it gives me that one thing physical trait that I can groom and manipulate that makes me stand out. Worst part about beards though is that the majority of compliments I get are from dudes. Flattering, but not what I'm going for.

Same thing goes for owning a nice sports car.

Or he'll cheat his way to delegitimizing the election.

Ding ding ding, we have a winner.

Voter suppression. Voting Machine Hacking. Social Media misinformation campaigns. Stacking the courts that will ultimately decide if the election is legitimate (like Bush v. Gore). Everybody is talking about how this is happening and yet they're also talking like it's going to be a fair election.

And if Trump loses, he'll declare the election invalid and refuse to leave office.

This would be the final test for the Republican Party and actually a good thing since it would permanently invalidate the Trump cult and "conservative" mythology.

I disagree. You don't have to look deep to see that the republican party, especially Trump, don't support any of the party planks (except maybe anti-abortion).

Don't think this is going to be the wake up call for people who support Trump.

Don't play games with microtransactions. They are designed with the assistance of physiologists and psychologists to be as addicting as possible. Quality of game play is secondary to that.

The new trend in game design internally in some companies has been coined "dopamine-driven development" in that, the entire point of the user experience is to trigger the most micro-releases of dopamine to physically addict you to our game or app.

I'm about ready to move off the grid. The world is fucked.

As a game developer can confirm it's absolutely true.

Games are designed to be addictive if the profit doesn't come upfront.

But what can we really do about it ? I can't put a game with an upfront cost on the App Store people are just not willing to pay no one will download it. Even if I invest insane amount of money into advertising people aren't going to buy it. It's not profitable.

Mobile game pricing is insane. I bought Star Trader Frontiers on steam, I don't know how much I paid for it originally but it's like $15 bucks now.

It's a game that is easy to pick up and put down so I thought maybe it'd be good for mobile. It's $7 on the play store (pretty sure I got it on sale for $3). Turns out I don't like the touch controls. But it's also ridiculous because that's a dirt cheap price for a game. I mean I sort of like the low price as a consumer, but I see why it pushes things towards micro transactions.

Yay for being joyless! I played Magic Duels (a magic the gathering game), I bought every single thing you can but I never spent a dime on it.

Take that psychologists, suffering from mild-depression suppressed the dopamine response!

Historically presidents who have been primaried have lost. There's a variety of reasons this link could appear but if we get to live through a data point maybe we can figure out what specific conditions are contributing factors.

see more

Historically we've never had a president or political atmosphere like we have today.

Also most likely you have the causality of previous incumbents who were primaried backwards. They were primaried because they were weak, not weak because they were primaried.

Yooo, I didn't say there was any causality. I said there was a connection (called a correlation) and we should look for ANY contributing factors. I'm glad you just got out of your HS stats class though, how was the first week of class?

Don't worry, assuming you don't fail any grades you'll find out in 2 years.

He has the intelligence and 'humor' of a 12 year old. And a level 5 out of 9 of speaking.


see more

I think it's funny because 5 out of 9 sounds bad. But 9 is just "speaks English as a native speaker" and we're talking about someone who was born in an English speaking country and who also doesn't speak any other language.

If this was a scale that he should be on, it would be 1 to 10, with 1 being "speaks in broken sentences like a toddler", and 10 would be "Understands complex syntax; uses esoteric words in their every day vernacular that would flummox many other native english speakers".

On that scale Trump would be a 2, speaks as well as the average elementary school child.

Someone corrected me last night that it should be a 4 on the scale of the website I posted. Which is:


Level 1 in that list is:

I do not speak any English.

He also lacks reading skills but then makes the excuse: "I don't have my glasses". We never saw him with glasses. When the woman offers to make it a bigger print he all of sudden says: "I will try it". Knowing there is no way out with lying about glasses.

I'm more making the point that 9 isn't advanced understanding of the language. 9 is the baseline that virtually all people should have who were born in English speaking countries and raised with the language should have. If you're someone who dropped out of elementary school but grew up in an English speaking country, you would would still be an 8. To be a native english speaker and be a 7 on that scale you would probably have a pretty significant learning disability. I know a girl who is a non-native speaker and it's readily apparent as soon as she talks. To an every day American she would be considered to have fairly bad english skills. She's still a 7 on that scale.

You have Trump on the wrong scale. The scale you're using is for how good non-native english speakers are at speaking english. Trump is a native english speaker though. The scale he should be measured by is one for native english speakers, where 1 represents children who are still learning the language and 10 are people with PhD's in English studies. And Trump literally speaks on the level of an elementary school child. He'd be a 2 on a scale of native english speakers, presuming 1 is basically the babble that toddlers do.

Graham's reason is typical selfishness.

McConnell's reason is less clear and suggestions that he is Moscow Mitch don't seem as crazy.

Honestly I think most of the republicans are compromised to some degree. Probably for taking Russia money funneled through the NRA. And lots of bad things that could be revealed from when the GOP got their e-mail hacked but not released.
