Sorry if this has been debunked (or less likely, verified) already but I didn't see anything in the last few pages. All my fygm facebook buddies are going apeshit about Gloria Allred paying 500k to one of the Trump accusers to come forward. Is there anything to this? Googling just turns up the same crap regurgitated on breitbartish sites.

Fojar38 posted:Remember when a presidential candidate bragged about being a rapist on tape and everyone forgot about it a month later They didn't forget, they just realized they don't care. I read someone yesterday that was saying the worst thing for the Republicans here is a narrow loss. If Trump wins, fine they get to usher in their reign of terror backed by neo-Jim Crow laws and a stasi FBI. If he gets crushed then they can say Trump was a bad candidate which is why Hillary won. However if he just gets beat then not only did he do the same as Romney, but it puts on display that Republicans as a party are absolutely ok with all of the horrible things they've claimed have unfairly been characterized on them by the left. You can read the articles of Republican women who had to defend the GOP because of course they aren't sexist and all the OP-EDs about how such and such a policy that hurts minorities is just a totally unrelated side effect. If Republicans come out for Trump like he was another empty suit Republican it says that everything they've been accused of is absolutely true and they are owning it. Of course that requires people to actually put their feet to the fire and no one likes actually doing that to right wingers but it will be a hell of a lot harder to look Serious and talk about how this charter school project isn't just an attempt to re-implement segregation paid for by taxpayers when that person voted for the guy that went all in on white supremacy.

There's also nothing that would hurt Trump at this point since the people still voting for him are conditioned to disbelieve anything negative said about him or just don't give a poo poo and I'm sure that Clinton's team is well aware of that. The only thing to do is beat them at the polls.

Hillary really had them pegged and I'm glad a politician finally had the guts to call out the shittiness of a giant percentage of Americans. The media immediately trying to act like she had unfairly slandered good, honest people that then decided to make fools of them by going all in on hate was both disgusting and hilarious.

I've mostly played northern europeans, but I've also played India a lot, and in some mod, Turkey a bit. What's the situation in Civ 6? I remember a lot of alt-right people being upset because there's a black leader in a game called Civilization and you can't actually play Hitler or something.

So we're past the point where anything significant can alter the election results, the polls are beginning to tighten, and we don't have a good handle on who will win. Looks like all that's left to do is get some beer and popcorn, and wait for Tuesday.

Voted today, in my reddish California county. Heard an old Latino guy tell a woman to vote Trump. I thought he was kidding, but she said she would, and he said, "you're doing the right thing." I keep alternating between arzying about the election results (yes yes I know but what if) and worrying about polling place violence on the 8th or riots on the 9th. What are the odds that we get a peaceful transition without anyone getting beaten up in the street?

We should know how good things are going pretty early. The media uses two things when the state closes: Too close to call and too early to call. If North Carolina or Florida close and the networks say "Too early to call" Clinton is walking away with the victory easily.

I think I just skipped him because skimming over the Unique, you see "Combat Bonus". Very solid game. Has a few balance issues but nothing egregious. Obnoxiously eurocentric lineup though. Only one black leader, Norway and Brazil are in but not Inca, Ottomans, Persia, Mali etc etc. You get the idea. Everyone in there though is at least interesting and unique.

I remember in civ 1 it started out with a bunch of leaders whom you'd all know from your standard history books, so you'd have a barren Africa. Then they had colonization, which my dad actually was super upset about. I didn't understand why - at that time, I didn't know about slavery in the US, so I didn't get what he saw when I was putting up cotton plantations all over the south. There was some massive shift in my personality between then and now, because back in colonization, I'd just burn down every native civilization for gold loot. And playing the remake now, decades later, I could never attack the natives. Still playing a game literally called Colonization though.
