Oxyclean posted:You're not wrong about it's history and how it was viewed, but IMO it gets you gamer cred from people who matter. When I was at Activision I pushed them to publish Cyan's first game (The Manhole) and led the CD-ROM project and ports to other platforms (DOS, FM Towns). The Manhole (basically an interactive children's book) was the first title that had an entirely contextual interface (no navigation buttons etc.). I knew they were going to do great stuff.

Trump also ran by promising everything to everyone and that it would be so common-sense and easy to do. Now that he's had to actually take positions and many of his initiatives have failed, that won't work as well.

Getting old (even vaguely 'old') sucks, I can imagine it gets worse and worse. You know it is possible to be old and reasonably fit. Not eating like a teenager can help. Of course, if you were dealt a bad hand genetically, that sucks. I'm old as hell (62) and still bike to work etc.

OK, I get what folks say in reaction to other folks making GBS threads on WaPo for their editorials. Those are opinion pieces after all. But just read this, this is their "news" now, doing Trump's work for him. https://twitter.com/washingtonpost/status/1110944092836499458 OK, "surge?" "Breaking point?" Well...a quote from the same article a few paragraphs in: quote:Though Border Patrol apprehensions remain below their annual peak of 1.6 million in 2000, the nature of the increasing migration flows has shifted dramatically, and that shift is driving the alarm. So this is a "surge" and a "breaking point" that still remains below recent historical peaks. OK then. Carry on.

Narcissist/borderlines can not distinguish between facts and feelings. He isn't operating under the same definition of true/false as everyone else, that's what makes those people so dangerous in personal relationships and everywhere else.

That I get but people telling folks concerned about the hard right turn of these editorial boards kept saying it was only the opinion side. This sure seems like now it IS coming out on the news side too, which validates the concerns people had over the editorials. We're in a really concerning fascist drift now, and this is another brick in the proverbial wall.

VideoGameVet posted:You know it is possible to be old and reasonably fit. Not eating like a teenager can help. My wife claims to be in chronic pain. What she describes sounds a lot like the inflammation I've heard about from eating a diet primarily of simple carbs and dairy. Which is all she eats like she was 13 years old and not nearly 40. On the other hand, I'm in my mid-40s and don't have any of that. I'd say 4/5 of my daily intake is a combination of fruit, vegetables, and whole grains. Little meat. When I get stupid every couple of months and indulge on a huge multi-serving bag of chips or candy or fast food, I feel like absolute poo poo for about a day. If you haven't started eating healthier, you should start now. Have a little candy and chips, now and then but save most of it for the CHUDS to own the libs.

Pakled posted:This raises the question, what IS a winning issue for Republicans? It's not taxes, they managed to make a tax cut unpopular for the first time in American history. Is it "the economy?" There's not much they can do about that legislatively since their whole message is "things are fine the way they are." Is it immigration? Everyone in DC except Trump knows that what he wants can't possibly pass through Congress. Apparently they are going all in on spite

kumba posted:does anyone know why the house voted this week to subsidize european and eurasian energy diversification? AFAIK this is probably a good thing. The EU and others in the region are super reliant on natural gas, the majority of which flows from Russian oil fields through Gazprom-owned pipes. Obviously this is a major national security risk for NATO, as any restriction of the flow of gas can have disastrous economic/humanitarian effects that give Russia huge leverage without any military involvement. Russia's gas disputes with Ukraine were a good test of this capability. Diversifying types of energy production and means of moving natural gas means less reliance on Russia's infrastructure (and more competition in the energy market, which is a side benefit for these regions). This serves American economic interests as well since the U.S. now exports natural gas in the form of LNG, which is stable enough to be shipped to Europe. Western countries are also investing in their own pipeline infrastructure. BP for instance is building a pipe routed through the Caucasus to give the European market access to Azerbaijani gas.

Cheesus posted:loving this (also not judging the OP). You're not stupid every couple months. You're stupid constantly. If your wife "claims" to be in chronic pain, which is a major stressor and can eventually end tragically without support, you should help her find out why instead of throwing out theories. Or if she is lying (shes probably not) dig into why she would do such a thing. If you're not willing to do either you should leave and let her find someone that actually supports her you rotten gently caress.
