Nintendo Kid posted:The ESRB exists as the industry's chance to run their own, so that they don't have to deal with a government one. Same deal with movie ratings, music explicit stickers, and even TV ratings - although the TV ratings are decreed by law, in actuality it's all self-enforced by TV channels. Yeah, entertainment industries create ratings boards because of the threat of government enforcement of ratings. Absent that threat, we likely wouldn't have explicit content warnings on CDs or ratings on movies/video games, which are pretty important tools for parents who don't have the time to sit down and research every piece of media their child consumes.

Zelder posted:I think a lot of Bernie supporters get really weird about black people in this thread (see: the earlier discussion with EugeneJ about black people getting direct marching orders from the corrupt black churches), and as a black man, it makes me uncomfortable. Yeah, it's pretty silly. Anyone who thinks that Bernie's minority appeal is the biggest problem for his campaign, or even an issue at all, is just concern trolling.

https://twitter.com/ScottWalker/status/620372232745816064 And I guess I should mention that almost all of the silly images of candidates I post in this thread are from their official Twitter or Instagram accounts. So if you see a silly picture of Lindsey Graham at the town dump or Rand Paul pretending to light a wheelbarrow of paper on fire, those are pictures the candidate wanted you to see.

Is the takeaway supposed to be that Scott Walker turns every lunch while on the road into an ordeal? He apparently called ahead to that McDonald's far enough in advance for some poor bastard to get assigned to throw together a bunch of decorations. Unless they showed up with those decorations ready to go.

So Trump keeps saying that he's going to build a wall, and make the Mexican government pay for it, or that he's going to bill them for every illegal immigrant. Just how does anyone think that's going to work, precisely? Like he's going to whip up an invoice in Quickbook? If he's talking about doing something in trade, doesn't NAFTA get in the way of that? Or is everyone just glossing over that because it's such twaddle?

Or is everyone just glossing over that because it's such twaddle? This is what a Trump supporter sounds like: quote:She said she had been a fan of New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie until he took a helicopter ride with, and hugged, President Obama in the wake of Hurricane Sandy in 2012. Of the president, she said, “he wants to be a dictator. I don’t know if he’s ever going to leave. My friends all told me he has to because of the First Amendment.” Trump and his supporters are not people who bring substantial critical thought to foreign policy concerns.

This really isn't getting enough attention, and it was the most interesting part of his ridiculous speech IMO. If any other GOP candidate says this, they're doomed. I'm still wrapping my head around it, but it's clear that Donald is playing by different rules.
