He's appealing to the base that he needs for the nomination.

The guy doesn't believe in evolution. . .

I don't think he's using religion as a political tactic.

The whispering just kinda makes me uncomfortable.

I find it rather annoying. Most people seem to get it from mundane things; I don't. Whispering, ambient sounds, et cetera don't really induce any kind of tingling response in me.

Autonomous sensory meridian response (ASMR) is a neologism for a perceptual phenomenon characterized as a distinct, pleasurable tingling sensation in the head, scalp, back, or peripheral regions of the body in response to visual, auditory, tactile, olfactory, or cognitive stimuli.

It's kind of like a euphoric, tingling sensation that spreads across (parts of) your body. Apparently the science on it is undecided, but there's strong anecdotal evidence for the phenomenon's existence. It can only really be described as a kind of non-sexual orgasm that happens in response to some kind of stimulus (as above); I never knew it was controversial, I've had them really quite regularly for as long as I can remember.

I also have Napoleon and Shogun II, by the way. So if anybody has those.

Some sources are saying that the pilot survived, and was pulled from the wreckage.

Any updates on that? Seems unlikely.

Also, better video:

Caitlyn Jenner could face manslaughter charges following a February car crash that killed one and injured seven.

Sheriff’s investigators plan to recommend prosecutors file a vehicular manslaughter charge against Jenner for the fatal crash on the Pacific Coast Highway in Malibu.

Los Angeles County sheriff’s department spokeswoman Nicole Nishida said on Thursday that investigators found that Jenner was driving “unsafe for the prevailing road conditions” because her SUV rear-ended a Lexus, pushing into oncoming traffic.

The crash occurred on 7 February. Jenner was driving a black Cadillac Escalade when she rear-ended a Lexus sedan that slammed into a Toyota Prius that had slowed down or stopped on the highway, sheriff’s sergeant Philip Brooks said in February.

The Lexus veered into oncoming traffic and collided head-on with a black Hummer, killing the Lexus driver, 69-year-old Kim Howe. Jenner was pictured after the accident in sunglasses and a baseball cap, apparently uninjured.

Following the accident, Jenner faced lawsuits from Howe’s stepchildren and talent agent Jessica Steindorff, who was injured in the crash, seeking unspecified damages related to the crash.

Nishida says the case will be presented for final review next week. The district attorney will determine what charges Jenner ultimately faces.

If convicted of such a charge, Jenner would face up to one year in county jail.

Jenner, a former Olympic athlete known as Bruce, is currently transitioning to live as woman. The former patriarch of the Kardashian family debuted I Am Cait, a reality show about Jenner’s transition, in late July.

and total war warhammer

Would you say the same if this was still the 1920's and white men didn't want black men serving with them in the military?

No. . . Because white men don't have, quite literally, the biological imperative inherent in them to go beserk in the protection of black men.

Despite what the uber-progressive left would tell you, men != women, and it isn't completely a social construct.

EDIT: Jesus fucking Christ. Why did you just assume this was about the male soldiers disliking the presence of women? No, it's about exactly what I said: unit cohesion, and the fact that putting men and women in combat side-by-side is going to fuck with discipline.

I remember that.

KND was the shit.

And everyone considering that killing to be totally fine and reasonable.

The point isn't that it's fine, per se. If you take it in a vacuum, it's obviously a horrendous act. For me, at least, it's made worthwhile by the net benefit to human well-being that comes from said horrendous act.
