The word has been hijacked by dumb. I orient quite a bit of my political discussion around telling totalitarians to stop calling themselves liberals. They don't listen, but w/e. The word liberal is itself a kind of safe space for progressives mostly because it is denigrated by the right and...

social liberal. pretty much accurate. Welfare exists because it must to maintain the technological advances of our market economy. We argue about the extent of economic intervention and welfare as well as the application of government violence both externally and internally. These merely...

Her behavior is silly. She somehow acts in the interest of others when her capacity for sympathy and empathy aren't there. She feels bad about her inability to feel bad about her actions. How? What? Wat? Sigh. I just want to see her naked, a lot.

Some do that. Employer group plans will at times have rewards for staying active or being a non-smoker. A friend of mine worked for ConEd management and they had a fitness tracker they would use to log activity and get a discount. I don't know what's stopping them from doing this on a more...

Yea, a highlight of their FAQ is how weak NFC is and what you should expect from the implant. It's just not effective enough for me to consider this the new reality.

kek

I'll do it myself. Have my own blockchain ID and just amend it as I need to. Why wait for a company to do something proprietary? NFC is very weak, intentionally so. I am curious where we'll get with these. I'd rather have my own cell signal and a host of bluetooth implants. Being able to...

Wow, that is horrid. My interest went from a 7 to a 1. Bioware, what have you done?

EU is pretty easy; you're just unfamiliar with the levers of control. I'd play EU more if the domestic politics would more significantly dominate a powerful empire. Victoria has some of that, but the scope is too small. The colonies are supposed to become a liability over time, but they're...

Can we get the show ratings that we give here to appear along with the thread title in the tv section forum?

I finished the season. Shaky's description is apt. I still think it's too dry. It is absolutely not a "thriller". I'm certain it's trying to be a comedy. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but I laughed a total of 3 times in the entire season. The most captivating part was how implausibly...

If they ever export the files to plaintext so we can mod it this game could be a lot of fun. As it is, there isn't sufficient flavor playing different countries. The economy works too similarly as resources are too abstract to play any kind of regional strength. Modding and a little less...

The pilot was a bit too dry for me. I intend to give it another shot though.

Deadpool is awesome ur mom

S7 price is dropping steadily atm due to imminent S8 launch, so one of them depending on your preference for economics or best performance. Pixel is solid, but having many out of stock issues. S8 will likely be a superior phone in any case.

Oh. My bad. ^_^ Non-Fi plebs imo

Can do this with Google Hangouts too. There is a desktop and chrome app iirc.

Show has gotten super sappy. It's like the sci-fi Family Matters at this point. I currently give no fucks about the show.

Exodus is weak for Live TV. I've occasionally used Goodfellas for that. I don't have an app I like for it, just something to tide me over. I want to be able to get local news, national news, and weather easily. As it is I just whip out my phone for the last bit, use goodfellas for national...

I started with Fuck Yeah. Started as #1, Finished as #1 by a big margin. The economy got real fucking loopy, especially with all the nuclear wars fucking up the planet, and most nations did so fucking shitty that by the end of the game I had like 80% of the world's GDP b/c I kept my taxes low...

Yea, this is silly. I'm not interested in this gen as my current phone is meeting my needs, but they're definitely fucking up by not being able to meet demand. Google needs to handle their manufacturing attempts much better if they want to compete with Apple in the higher end of the market.

I just got up. I am going to work imminently.

No, it doesn't. Given the nonsense we've seen from gaming companies it could be too many things to bother speculating about. If he makes a good game I'll play it.

I do wonder. You seem to have given up on wondering and have made a decision. I don't care that much either way. I want a good game to play, and I hope he makes one.

I think you're projecting.

Sell what game? It hasn't been made yet. Yea, he sued them. I don't know how "worthless" he is. I'll judge the game he makes on its own merits.

I enjoyed DA:I a lot, but base building is a heavy interest, and I think they didn't develop that aspect enough. Andromeda seems perfectly positioned to rely more heavily on base building. I'm hopeful.

Recently an ex-dev high up at Rockstar North ditched and founded his own thing. He's planning to use Amazon's engine to make a new open world game that I assume bears some resemblance to GTA.

I use Hangouts. I didn't realize FB Messenger even did SMS. I tried Textra, but didn't think it did enough to warrant replacing Hangouts. I am loathe to rely too heavily on FB due to efficiency concerns like Deathwing mentioned. I hate that Google has 5 messenger apps at this point. Perhaps...

I find Trump ridiculous in most ways. I think he's a bad choice as our president, and disagree with much of his and the republican legislature's policy moves. Oliver is on a similar level because I expect more from him. Stewart had his pet issues like gun control, but he was usually even...

Don't know. Don't watch. Dipped out on him and Colbert during #GG. Bill Burr should host The Daily Show.

I didn't vote for Trump. I did vote for Clinton. I wasn't happy about it, as I think each of them represents some of the worst qualities I'd like in a representative, but I still think Clinton was the superior choice. I hope I'm wrong. I don't feel that I've been the target of a witch hunt...

I hope it ends up actually being an elaborate mindfuck because that was easily the worst escape plan ever. That said, mindfucks are getting a little played out. Perhaps this can be the crescendo of the concept. At least it's due; he is Legion after all.

This. Many co-workers and some higher managers communicate with it. They're actually quite savvy given their generation, so I figure I can meet them halfway.

Is there any advantage to a traditional IRA vs. a Roth IRA once your income has reached this point? And I guess before you have hit this point.

Pretty sure HSAs are the most tax advantaged and, assuming medical costs will exist, should be the priority. Money goes in before taxes, and as long as you use the money for medical reasons, can be withdrawn without being taxed. There is also no time limit on reimbursing yourself for medical...

I'm highly anticipating this. GTA5 is the first one in the series that I enjoyed, and I liked it a lot. I've been frustrated at the lack of a new campaign or even a hint of their next project. I suppose this helps explain what the hold up is.

Some of the greatest minds behind GTA have had a falling out with Rockstar, and are setting up a new project under a new studio. Very little is known about it atm. It'll use Amazon's Lumberyard engine. It should be something open world, but Benzies claims it'll be a departure from their...

I had an issue with my first 5x. Called them and they sent me a replacement and a shipping label to send the old one back. Didn't even use my protection plan either, they just swapped it out and it was all good. I'd imagine at least Apple would offer a similar level of appeasement.
