    Poll Do you think Trump will actually win the presidency in November?

    FOX News did a recent poll and discovered that the motivation for BOTH sides was voting against the opposing candidate. So taking that into account plus the enthusiasm gap between Trump and Hillary? I dunno. It'll be fascinating to see the final results Nov 9 morning.

    Poll Do you think Trump will actually win the presidency in November?

    Trump definitely hasn't done himself any favors, no doubt. But the truth is Hillary has just sat back and let the MSM do all the hard work. If the roles had been reversed and the MSM went hard on her for the emails, Clinton Foundation, Bill's sexual deviant past, etc. the race wouldn't even be...

    Poll Do you think Trump will actually win the presidency in November?

    Majority of polls indicate he'll lose. However, looking at external evidence we see: Massive rallies in comparison to Hillary's practically non-existent attendance. In my area (central VA) I see way, way more Trump signs than Hillary/Kaine. Breitbart callers who are truck drivers WHO DRIVE...

    Trump or Hillary - FOH Poll

    Not that it matters, but the dude isn't bald. Both sons have a full head of hair. Personally, I think Trump will make a great president. IDK how Hillary voters would even think for a second she'll be worth a shit. She has accomplished nothing.

    Westworld

    Hmm..wonder if the writers are juxtaposing the roles of the hosts and guests from the original movie? Self-aware androids being hunted by a villainous human.

    Westworld

    Watched this last night and absolutely loved it. And, man, the scenery. I need to take a vacation out west one day. Anyway, not sure if this was speculated earlier in the thread, but I'm predicting that The Man in Black (Ed Harris) is a rogue host.

    Lucifer

    Not sure if this was discussed previously but, Christian lore-wise, who is Satan's "mom"? First thought was Lilith but she is Adam's first wife so that doesn't really make much sense.

    Because it's a waste of time and energy. The idea that we can beam a signal at a star with the expectation that a recipient is activity listening in our direction at that moment in time is ludicrous.

    Facebook Theories (Why everyone I know likes it but me)

    I have a Facebook account but I rarely log into it. I might share a link that I find particularly interesting but I never go back to count the likes or replies. I think Facebook, Instagram, etc. interest all boils down to what type of person you are. Personally, I'm highly introverted and...

    It really doesn't make sense we're alone in the universe. I remember reading that,if a civilization spread out in a paltry .5 the speed of light they could colonize the entire galaxy in a few million years. There has been plenty of time for that. I guess the best we can do is point some...

    They do if they detected our radio transmissions. WE don't know they're there. Marvel at my proper use of 'there', 'their', and 'they're'.

    Maybe, if they have incredibly, massively sensitive antennae. Earth's first radio waves would be reaching them now. It's highly unlikely they would detect them unless they were specifically looking in our direction.

    What? That's not far at all. That means it took 95 years for that signal to reach Earth. If "they" are there, then they're still there.

    Can you touch your toes?

    Rickshawed? Why? This is an important god damn question.

    Can you touch your toes?

    SHOULD everyone be able to touch their toes or is it impossible for some (sans people with deformities or missing limbs)? I exercise 3-4 times a week and do pre-workout stretches. Been doing this for years and I have never gotten any closer to touching my toes.

    Can you touch your toes?

    I've never been able to touch my toes, not even as a child. I'm in excellent physical shape too. I guess I'm just not flexible.

    Need some advice... As we all know, interest rates for a bank savings account is so stupid low it makes zero sense to keep your money there. So, alternatively, I've been placing any extra cash into a Vanguard ETF - specifically the VTI Total Stock market ETF. I sold all my shares earlier this...

    Honestly, enough time has passed that they could do this. Take the original game, re-do all the art assets, keep all the original game play elements and release it.

    We the People.

    I can envision some future state run not by humans but by an A.I. (yeah, plenty of science fiction literate on this one). But, honestly, this probably has the best chance at a utopia providing said A.I. doesn't decide to exterminate everyone. A dictator that functions off of pure logic...
