Antti posted:I'm not American but in 2008 out of sheer curiosity I signed up for some Obama for America newsletter thing. Holy mother of gently caress, I got mail until 2012 when I unsubscribed and redirected it all to spam. I donated $5 to Obama in 2008. I have been relentlessly unsubscribing since then and I still get mail from every democratic candidate under the sun. It's terrible.

This is one of the most important maps in understanding this election, and why Hillary is polling so well in surprising states, and not so well in others https://twitter.com/Nate_Cohn/status/763775336706404352

Filthy Hans posted:I read that essay. Gore wasn't saying that McVeigh was a good guy, he was saying that McVeigh was standing up for his (terrible) principles and the media refused to consider any narrative other than "McVeigh is insane, he had no motivation other than hating America." This was troubling to Vidal because it meant we as a nation are incapable of accepting the consequences of our policies, specifically that we create enemies out of people who aren't crazy in the first place and some aren't crazy when they commit acts of terrorism. Vidal tried to discuss this on media panels and he was treated like poo poo because people thought he was defending McVeigh and hating on America. It's almost as if there's a grey area and nuance.

Incredibly strong troll game from Cards Against Humanity: https://www.facebook.com/CardsAgainstHumanity/posts/10157220252780696 Comments are actually worth reading for the sheer number of butthurt people warning CAH that they won't be getting their business any longer!!

Pakled posted:I'm curious to see what the floor is for Trump. At this point, though, what within the realm of possibility could he possibly say that would turn off any of his remaining supporters? He could probably promise to immediately nuke Iran and use the n-word in the same sentence and his 35-40% of the vote would remain intact. My guess is that the thing that will really hurt Trump, taking him as low as it is possible for a major party candidate to go, is to continue losing so badly for a long enough time period that he's no longer a winner. Hillary being up close to or above double digits for an extended period of time will cause the base voters that make up pretty much all of his vote to drop out of the likely voter screens. Plus there's a decent possibility that a chunk of Hillary's vote is being under counted due to continuing issues with young and minority voters being fully represented in polls.

John Meroney posted:In September, director Roman Polanski was arrested in Switzerland for leaving the U.S. in 1978 before being sentenced to prison for raping a 13-year-old girl at Jack Nicholson’s house in Hollywood. During the time of the original incident, you were working in the industry, and you and Polanski had a common friend in theater critic and producer Kenneth Tynan. So what’s your take on Polanski, this many years later? Gore Vidal posted:I really don’t give a gently caress. Look, am I going to sit and weep every time a young hooker feels as though she’s been taken advantage of?

God, the Cards team is amazing. Those images. quote:Hillary Clinton is a graduate of Yale Law School who has served our country as Secretary of State, Senator from New York, and First Lady of the United States. In her decades of public service, she has tirelessly advocated for women’s rights, campaign finance reform, and access to healthcare. quote:Donald Trump will Make America Great Again! He is a powerful CEO who wears three suits at once. All across America, buildings scream his name, “TRUMP! TRUMP!” He always knows what time it is. Donald Trump is a huge man who lives in a golf course. quote:Why can’t I buy a pack for Gary Johnson or Jill Stein? If i ever make a game that has massive amounts of success and makes me rich please let me be able to do dumb poo poo like this for fun.

I don't really like CAH, but I don't think most people have put as much thought into it as you have and it's probably not fair to call them human garbage.

I think it's worthwhile to have a conversation about personal responsibility re: playing intentionally transgressive games, but holy poo poo the writers on that site seem like a bunch of killjoys. I agree that Apples to Apples is more fun, though, and my CAH set rarely gets touched anymore. I think we've all tired of it.

Apples to Apples was always great when you could make a CAH-style combination with the clean rear end stuff in Apples to Apples. Personal best was "Touchy Feely" with "Helen Keller." Helen Keller became a trump card in our games.

The only time I ever played CAH was when it was brought by a black guy, to a gay bachelor party, and a different black guy and his white wife to a hiking trip. It didn't seem as racist as advertised(I assume because with actual black people in the room people avoided racist answers)
