I considered staying up for this but eh. Not too bothered either way. Bed time for me, so I guess I'll wake up to whoever is your new president.

These should've been replaced with Bernie by now.

He can still win
You really just have to believe. See what has happened is that the mainstream media decided to pretend that the super PACs are all going to support Clinton while really they can change like with Obama. So you just gotta vote for him because he can still make it.

My halls of residence are doing an election night at the main building with free food and xbox games and shit but I'm not sure if I'll be able to handle staying up until 5am especially considering I have a lecture at 10am tomorrow morning.
My faculty of law is doing the exact same thing aside from the xbox games and free food. It'll just be drinking top tier Belgian beers all night.

I find it interesting you explicitly mentioned that they're heated, but then refrained from saying they have voices to talk dirty, which I think is higher up there on the weirdness scale.

I fail to see why people who don't wanna vote for a candidate who is 101% guaranteed to be terrible should be "violently disposed of",
Because your assumption fails right there at its very core. The people you're talking of see Trump as the candidate who is 101% guaranteed to be the terrible choice. They think Clinton will be a worse Obama 2.0 at the worst and a good president at the best, while Trump's potential as a president ranges from abysmally terrible to extremely poor. And I'd say they're not very much off.

and I'm someone who has looked at both sides of the coin to try and understand why people like Hillary so much.
Thing is, people really don't like Hillary so much. They just really, really do not like Trump. They look at the man and see incompetence, stupidity and ignorance. They see a wholly unqualified and incapable clown without the slighest ounce of respect or common decency selling problems to which only he knows the answers. A loudmouth narcissistic demagogue selling thin air and empty promises. And to them that makes it worth it to vote for someone like Hillary. To which I can only say: rightfully so.

So when does this start happening and by what time will it approximately end? I'll keep an eye open but am not going to stay awake for this.

IIRC, polls begin closing at 7PM EST. Generally (very generally), the winner is announced around midnight.
Welp, guess I'll just find out Wednesday morning.

Serious / Regrexit reaches all time high - Brexit gone awry
« on: November 07, 2016, 06:42:19 AM »
http://uk.businessinsider.com/r-britains-biggest-potato-chips-maker-walkers-hikes-prices-after-brexit-2016-11?r=US&IR=T

Britain's most popular chips (or crisps, rather) are becoming 10% more expensive because of the Brexit vote. As a result of this, thousands of people took to the streets of London, wearing Guy Fawkes masks and protesting this new development in regret of the referendum.

Why do they have to trigger article 50? Why can't they just announce they are leaving the EU tomorrow.
They can. You just don't understand how this works. Article 50 is not some evil EU ploy and procedure filled with obstacles to keep countries from leaving. It literally just says that the only thing necessary to leave is the country (formally) notifying the Commission of the withdrawal. That's all article 50 is. The only obstacles and procedures in place are the ones the UK itself put up. From the EU, all that is required is the country simply telling the Commission they're officially leaving. Nothing more.

Sombra abilities overview.

So does her hack and EMP disable enemy weapons? It didn't seem to actually do anything in the video.
Do you mean the Animated Short? It definitely does stuff in the second video.

Nah, she hacks a Roadhog and nothing appears to happen to him. He doesn't seem to take any damage or be affected. Then she uses her EMP, and nobody dies or appears to be injured or affected, again. If all it does is disable abilities, that was kind of a shitty way of demonstrating it.

Actually, I guess it stops his ultimate, which is a pretty solid ability to have.
It's pretty obvious that her hacks stops Roadhog's ultimate. And when she uses her EMP everyone loses their Lcuio shields.

Dunno how else they could have shown this without live commentary honestly, and none of the other abilities videos had that.
Here's 40 minutes of Sombra gameplay and commentary. Her abilities are shown pretty clearly in the video.

So my gif is pretty accurate then. You're telling me they could actually STAY? Lol.

Thanks though, this is very insightful.
In theory, they can stay without this judgment either way. This just gives parliament a say in things. It's unlikely this will result in parliament stopping Brexit altogether, but it should make things more transparent and it's not unthinkable they'll intervene on some things.

> EU membership referendum
> promises made that the UK would trigger the withdrawal the day after the vote if the Leave side won
> Leave wins
> prime minister resigns instead of leaving the EU
> new cabinet, new prime minister, lots of political turmoil, parts of the UK are resisting
> nothing happens for quite some time
> EU tells the UK to get it over with
> UK doesn't do anything
> EU says there won't be any negotiations until the UK triggers the leaving process
> UK prime minister says they are thinking about leaving in March 2017

And that's where we're at now, more or less. The court case is the culmination of an issue that has been debated since the very start of the whole Brexit. Basically, the question is whether the British government and prime minister can leave the EU on their own accord. In American terms, it would be whether the president can do something himself or whether he needs approval of Congress. Because this has never happened before, there's no precedent here. What happened now is that a high UK court ruled that the government cannot leave the EU on its own but instead needs parliament to approve the Brexit and its terms. But the judgment can still be appealed and potentially reversed.

Definitely a good thing.

You hit all these points, and never explain why.
Because people get tired of explaining why due to stuff like this:

Yawn, nice bias. Dude is a trillion times smarter and more successful than you.

No matter how reasoned or sensical the response, you will brush it aside with irrelevant and often completely uninformed claims.

But to answer your questions:

- no, we fully condemn Hillary's transgressions. Thing is, Trump has just as many and is a worse candidate overall.

- Trump will not shake anything up and will do nothing to get rid of any corruption. To think that such a man with such a background is going to do anything but benefit himself and his peers when in office is baffling.

- no, Trump would be terrible at negotiating any deals. The man can't even keep his composure during short TV debates. To think a loudmouth clown who apparently thinks that waving a finger around and shouting 'WRONG' over his opponent despite there being irrefutable proof of the opposite would be good at negotiating and dealing with world leaders is, again, baffling.

Quick let me pull up scandal after scandal that come out EVERYDAY.

>there's actually people voting for this woman.
Contrary to you, I'm not saying any candidate is actually decent or worth voting for. Clinton is a poor presidential candidate. It's just that Trump is still way worse.

Reminds me of that South Park episode. How people can tolerate his stupidity, ignorance and despicable statements for months and months up until something like this somehow proves too much to bear. It's kind of laughable, but also pretty sad.
