  • White House staff warned not to place bets on prediction markets

  • Ingle also said that all federal employees are subject to government ethics guidelines that prohibit the use of insider information for financial gain.

    That's rich considering his boss is the Conman in Chief

  • Does purchasing a game on GOG.com really grants ownership of the game and not a license to use it?

    Jump

  • What it grants you is the ability to download and install the game as you see fit with no DRM software getting in the way. You don't even have to use their launcher if you don't want.

  • So not just blatant corruption, but blatantly treasonous corruption as well.

  • READ: Stunning FBI Doc Claims Trump Assaulted Teen Girl After She ‘Bit the Sh*t Out of’ His Penis

    Jump

  • I've heard the rumors, but I'm holding out until there's more evidence. Wouldn't surprise me though.

  • Wow! What a piece of absolute shit. I always knew he was garbage, but this ... wow.

    Also, good for her. I hope she drew blood from that little pecker. And I hope she's still alive and doing well. The world needs more people like her.

  • What cultural programming have you overcome?

    Jump

  • I'd agree that racism and sexism are separate from religion and I didn't intend to suggest that religion is the source of racism or sexism. It runs much deeper than that with sexism and racism being expressed in different ways by both religious and non-religious alike. That said, where and when I grew up they were all intertwined with and reinforced by religion. So when I threw off the yoke of religion it was easier, for me at least, to recognize the many small and large injustices being committed by me those around me because that was our "culture".

  • What cultural programming have you overcome?

    Jump

  • I grew up in a very religious, rural part of the country (US) and in a time when sexism and racism were the norm. I'm now an atheist and now recognize how damaging all of that is to the individuals it harms and to society as a whole.

  • The Iran War Is God’s Plan, Say U.S. Military Leaders (Who Believe Trump Was Anointed by Jesus)

    Jump

  • Yeah, that's why I gave up religion years ago.

  • The Iran War Is God’s Plan, Say U.S. Military Leaders (Who Believe Trump Was Anointed by Jesus)

    Jump

  • I'm not religious, but I'm fairly certain that Trump is the least christian POTUS this country has ever seen.

  • What video game did you not expect to like as much as you did?

    Jump

  • Haven't played the sequel yet. Waiting to get it on sale if/when it shows up on GOG. That said, I don't have big expectations. Sequels rarely live up to the original.

  • Trump Admits He Has No War Plan in Bombshell Letter

    Jump

  • Yeah, a lot of people haven't forgotten about the Epstein files, but the mainstream media sure seems to be focused elsewhere right now.

  • Trump Admits He Has No War Plan in Bombshell Letter

    Jump

  • It should be clear that there is a plan and it's largely working. Since the bombs started dropping, hardly anyone is talking about the Epstein files. :|

  • No, it's not bad. You have a best friend and that's great. Assuming there's nothing amorous going on between you, the fact that they are the opposite gender as you shouldn't matter.

    Just be careful to invest time in your relationship with your boyfriend as well. Remember that they are also your friend and even if they trust you they may tire of the situation if they perceive they are being neglected. Just saying this because I have seen relationships fall apart because of similar situations.

  • What video game did you not expect to like as much as you did?

    Jump

  • Fair enough. There were a lot of weapons and variations of the weapons and I'd agree that some things weren't explained well or at all. But for me part of the fun was experimenting and figuring out what worked and what didn't.

    As for the story, it really didn't click for me either until later in the game when the how and why of that world became clearer. Prior to that it felt like just another derivative (post-post-)post-apocalyptic story. But from that point on I was fully invested, which made the ending all the more impactful for me.

  • If you don't mind me asking, what specifically didn't you like about the game?

  • Horizon Zero Dawn - From what I saw from the marketing seemed just odd. Relatively primitive looking humans fighting animal shaped robots. It just looked a bit too gimmicky. Several years after it's initial release I saw that it was on sale and gave it a shot. I was genuinely surprised by the depth of the story. It was much more emotionally impactful than I expected and the story now feels almost prescient.

  • Why do people go out of their way to dodge manhole covers while driving?

    Jump

  • I drive a small car with stiff (sport) suspension. In my area manhole covers typically aren't aligned well with the road surface making them quite bumpy to drive over. This can jarring and even painful for me due to medical issues that I don't care to get into here. So I routinely avoid driving over manhole covers.
