If you want a game where you play a surly dude who runs around an open world kicking ass, go get Shadow of Mordor on Steam right now. It's on sale for like $17, and instead of a gay Batmobile, you get to hop on the backs of these giant beasts and behead orcs to your heart's content. And the first time you take out a warlord, you'll stand up, grab your balls and do your best Macho Man Randy Savage voice, yelling, "I did that thing. Oh yeah." With the money you'll save, you can buy a pizza and a case of beer.
Trust me. Don't let this Arkham Knight make you feel like you're some trick who was robbed before the panties dropped. Go play Shadow of Mordor, or if you're the sort that needs the self-affirmation of paying full price for a game, get Mad Max and you can blast around the Wasteland in a Jesus-built hotrod and kick ass.
And you won't need five fucking Cray supercomputers configured in a Beowulf cluster to play those other games. Take control of your PC gaming life for god's sake and quit sniveling.
I guess in America death could be considered eminent, since so many people seem to worship it.
Don't pick on him. Tonight I was watching Episode 4 of some dumb show on Netflix with Sean Bean called "Legends" (because my wife was grading papers and there was nothing else on) and I figured there's be some shooting and car chases to pass the time and they had a newscaster mis-using eminent the same way, as in an "attack is eminent". Some highly-paid scriptwriter should have their card revoked for that (and so should the surgeon who did Sean Bean's hair transplant. It looks like it was the same one who did Joe Biden).
Here's something else William F Buckley "famously" said:
The central question that emerges—and it is not a parliamentary question or a question that is answered by merely consulting a catalog of the rights of American citizens, born Equal—is whether the White community in the South is entitled to take such measures as are necessary to prevail, politically and culturally, in areas in which it does not predominate numerically? The sobering answer is Yes—the White community is so entitled because, for the time being, it is the advanced race. National Review believes that the South's premises are correct. If the majority wills what is socially atavistic, then to thwart the majority may be, though undemocratic, enlightened. It is more important for any community, anywhere in the world, to affirm and live by civilized standards, than to bow to the demands of the numerical majority. Sometimes it becomes impossible to assert the will of a minority, in which case it must give way; and the society will regress; sometimes the numerical minority cannot prevail except by violence: then it must determine whether the prevalence of its will is worth the terrible price of violence.
There are in fact some people that are not really Scotsman. Like people who have never been to Scotland, but consider themselves Scottish because they are white and liked Braveheart.
I've got a utili-kilt and I love Glenfiddich. Does that qualify me as a Scotsman?
But as in this case usually aren't. The list consisted of dozens of left leaning multi-cultural groups mixed with a few anti-rape groups. Not a single member had anything to do with "conservative" viewpoints
Damn right. You would never find a conservative anti-rape group.
Here's a better summary for you, after the chili I ate last night, there are now 80% less bacteria in my gut but those that remain are entirely new species never before seen.
If you ate the same chili I did, they won't be in your gut for long.

They're just saying it was a missile defense balloon to cover up the fact that it's SKYNET, and it's now sentient.
The 243-foot-long, helium-filled JLENS (Joint Land Attack Cruise Missile Defense Elevated Netted Sensor System) aerostat detached from its mooring at about 11:54 a.m. Wednesday. It was trailing approximately 6,700 feet of cable. "Anyone who sees the aerostat is advised to contact 911 immediately," spokeswoman Heather Roelker said. "People are warned to keep a safe distance from the airship and tether as contact with them may present significant danger."
It's from the Old English, chagflkningrbbr which means "one who eats smelly cheese". I believe the OED has it as one word, but what do those English pansies know, right?
"Cynics charge... that academics play an elitist game with their words: They want to exclude interlopers. Others say that academics have traditionally been forced to write in an opaque style to be taken seriously by the gatekeepers—academic journal editors, for example."
Next from Congress: The Fairness in Academic Writing Act (FAWA) which will require academics to only use words with three syllables or less so people in Red States can understand their high-falootin' publications.
When will people realize that no corporation ever pays taxes. Not one dime of a corporations real profits are ever taxed. Taxes are included as a business expense and figured into the price of the product. Who pays the "taxes?" the consumer of said product.
Probably most people assume that the corporate income tax is largely paid by consumers of its products or services. That is, they assume that although the tax is nominally levied on the corporation as a whole, in fact the burden of the tax is shifted onto customers in the form of higher prices.
All economists reject that idea. They point out that prices are set by market forces and the suppliers of goods and services aren’t only C-corporations, which pay taxes on the corporate tax schedule, but also sole proprietorships, partnerships and S-corporations that are taxed under the individual income tax. Other suppliers include foreign corporations and nonprofits.
Therefore, corporations cannot raise prices to compensate for the corporate income tax because they will be undercut by businesses to which the tax does not apply. It should also be noted that the states have substantially different corporate tax regimes, including some that do not tax corporations at all, and we do not observe that prices for goods and services vary from state to state depending on its taxation of corporations.
Why not just keep the car in the garage so that it doesn't get all the ice and snow on it?
Remember, the discussion is about cars in the city. Two-car garages are extremely rare in urban areas, especially the snow-belt cities. I remember reading an article some time ago that only about 5% of the cars in the city have garage space.
Further, most businesses in these cities cannot afford to build multi-story garages for their employees. Office space is expensive, and if you had a garage space for every employee, it would have to be considerably bigger than your office space. Who's going to pay for that?
There is a reason that so many big businesses reside in cities with excellent public transportation, and it's not just because they want to be "green".
You may not like cars but they were seen as the embodiment of freedom for your ancestors - go anywhere you want, quickly, and on your own schedule.
What's the matter, your feet don't work on your own schedule?
You know what else was the embodiment of freedom for your ancestors? Being able to crap wherever they want. They didn't even have to go indoors. They could just drop their loincloth and cop a squat whenever the spirit moved them. Now that's freedom, right there. Don't tread on me, motherfucker, because I need to launch a butt shuttle.

Dude, it's 2015. You can get one of those fancy SSD drives for like $50. If you have game that's spinning your platters, load it on the SSD.
Nothing in space is easy to harvest. I mean, it's in fucking space. If it were easy, we'd already be doing it.
But if they know what's good for them...

Leave my sex life out of this.
Fight guns with more guns. And fight cancer with cancer. Fight poverty with more poverty.
FIGHT STUPIDITY WITH MORE STUPIDITY.
Damn right. Why, when I was four, my parents gave me a knife and a box of matches and dropped me off at the forest preserve to survive or die.
This is why I'm the man I am today.

Well, there's that.

That's definitely true.
