Yeah, from what I saw of the game, it looks about as competently put together as Watch_Dogs was. And we all know how that turned out.

So when's the fan patch that unlocks the HD textures?
And when's the fanpatch that turns him white? I'm not racist, I'm just looking for "diversity"

Got this one on my feed too from a supposed conservative. Government spends $40 trillion (2.5x the annual GDP of the United States) for a coerced-spending program not unlike Obamacare? The original author could've saved a lot of time by just writing "I want someone to give me $1,000,000."

I mean on their part, connecting Frog Climbers to Trump. It's quite a stretch.

Unless you understand that, and are making a joke yourself, in which case, um...obviously the game is actually a metaphor for the evolution of multicellular life.

A friend of mine I hadn't seen in close to 20 years sent me a FB friend request a couple of months ago. I didn't notice (or wasn't shown?) a decent amount of right-wing and/or pseudo-science crap on her page until after I accepted.

We've had a few incidents over the past few weeks where I've tried to point out that what she's posting (on my page or hers) is crap, complete with me including links and fact-checks, etc., and trying to be nice and gentle about it, and it always just ended with "well, we have different opinions I guess" :downs:

She posted this tonight and I finally just decided to unfriend her: http://www.webdaily.com/2016/10/06/heres-the-damning-hillary-health-video-that-the-media-is-trying-to-hide/

Goddammit. She's a reasonably bright, nice person, and spent a good chunk of her life working with kids and doing good things, and now she's completely down the rabbit hole. I don't want to spend time with her (for real or online) if she's just going to roll around in poo poo, and it's obvious there's nothing I can do about it. :(

This is about the fifth old friend in the last few years that I've decided I just don't want to deal with anymore.

Also, I remember someone saying something about Detroit like 'Hmm, weird how they never pull out of the abandoned sector of the town and show the rest of it or something' Anyone know what I'm talking about? Or at least what's up with Detroit now? I know they've been bouncing back as best they can but I don't know any details.

A guy I briefly dated kinda just assumed that they misdiagnosed him because they couldn't believe how awesome and confident and social he was. :psyduck:

They compulsively readjust reality to place themselves on top, and anything that doesn't fit isn't real (other people are just seeing it the wrong way).

Detroit is rapidly gentrifying in certain areas but there are still a lot of houses like that one or worse. It's a hell of a lot better than it was 10 years ago.
