    In retrospect, I took Don S. Davis' role for granted; his character of George Hammond was the glue that held the base together. Oh...and when he knocks a scene out of the park, you fully believe he is a General.

    If it had kept up with inflation, the minimum wage would be significantly above fifteen dollars per hour.

    As I literally said a day or two ago, people are forgetting that Trump had four years to open any kind of commission or investigation he wanted to in our election process.  He refused to do so.  He didn't care to do so.
     
    His entire administration he's been making up outrageous claims, from Ted Cruz's father being the assassin of JFK, to Fox News treating him unfairly in very basic interviews.  It's not as though there might not be election shenanigans, it's whether those shenanigans are significant.  The point, as we've said for over a month, isn't to try and demonstrate or improve anything, just to tear down what exists if it's in his way, personally.
     
    (edited to make this less personal.  I admit my own ire)
     
    My point, I guess, is that we don't improve a democratic process by tearing down the fundamental institutions that are in the way of a specific politician.  That's how we lose those things.  (edit)  The way people share this is what's frustrating me personally so much.  Like there's literally no context and he hasn't been saying and talking like this for months, trying to shut down even vote counting past midnight despite how insane that is.

    THAC0 isn't nearly as complicated as I had once imagined; most factors that influence it (Strength/Dexterity, Weapon Specialization, the enchantment bonus of any given weapon, et cetera) are calculated and recorded in advance. One point in its favor: it keeps the player guessing more than D&D 3.0+'s BAB versus AC.

    Walter Peck's move was the wrong one, but his assessment - that the Ghostbusters shouldn't be operating equipment that could destroy the city (without any oversight) - was absolutely correct. The Ghostbusters could have handled the situation more diplomatically; provoking an authority figure is not the wisest of moves. The older I get, the more I side with Peck and the more I see the pro-Reagan attitude this film exudes.

    Good.  Calls to violence should get him arrested.

    And Americans would rather fight to the death over idiotic nonissues and not focus at all on issues that might actually...you know...help people...like universal health care and education...or better job opportunities. I'm really fed up. The culture of anti intellectualism has made progress almost impossible.

    IMO they must have some tactical reason in mind. Republicans have been subtly distancing themselves from Trump for several weeks, probably out of concern that aligning so closely with him as in the past could hurt their own political chances.
