I thought you still never had one? Guess I was mistaken.

Are you still writing a book?
i worked at a local record store from january to about last week

then i quit because my dad decided to start up his own, so naturally i'm working with him now, and things are so much better

yeah i'm still writing my book

21

- I got my first kiss at about the right time. A girl kissed me when I was 15-16, but I've never personally kissed anybody.
- I got my first job two years late, and I hated it more than I've hated anything else in my life.
- Never passed my driving test and I'm one year overdue on that. I cannot believe that the average age for this is 20.
- I've never been on vacation with my friends that did not include my family, so one year overdue I guess.

Some of these aren't even milestones in any way.

Would you call the majority of the country at that time evil? He was their hero and still was long after his death.
the ability to look at a dark-skinned man and say "that is an object," or "that is a savage," or "that is my property"--is absolutely unconscionable to me

at no point in my life have i ever thought of somebody as lesser than me because of their culture or skin color

so while "evil" might not be the most fair word to use, it is imperceptible to me how anybody could possibly rationalize slavery or genocide in any way whatsoever

i don't see what the time period has to do with it

it's a loaded question

there are many forms of evil, i don't like throwing around the word in a general sense
Would you say it's a difficult word to pin on an individual that has done significant good for their country?
not in jackson's case

Didn't you call him the best president last night?
i said he was perhaps the best first president we could've asked for

i still rank him pretty high, but the best president was probably abe, maybe kennedy

I edited it out because it had no bearing on the argument but it still holds true. People whining about someone like Jackson being "downright evil" are the same people that decry Washington just for even owning slaves. They honestly don't give a shit and if they did it would require them to denounce any of the positive aspects of the country we have over such events.
but i have, and i do

i would trade everything good our country has to prevent us from ever holocausting the native americans

Details for first DLC. I like that Phantom armor.

http://zelda.com/breath-of-the-wild/news/expansion-pass-dlc-pack-1-detailed/

Also. Starting today, players will be able to experience the game in one of nine audio languages [Japanese, English, French (France), French (Canada), German, Spanish (Spain), Spanish (Latin America), Italian and Russian], with a different language used for on-screen text by downloading a free software update. To enable this feature in the Wii U version of the game, players will need to download a Voice Pack from Nintendo eShop
I'm super glad that there's more to this DLC pack than they initially advertised.

A lot of people weren't impressed with the VAing, so having access to all these alternate voice files is pretty fucking great.

Is it bad to leave your laptop plugged in a lot?
It shortens the battery life. I only plugged in my laptop when it was absolutely low on power and I manged to keep the battery for another year past its life. Now it's completely shot and needs the charger at all times, and keeping it plugged in when it's charged will expedite that problem.
pepsi says that modern laptops will secretly decrease to 90% when plugged in with a full charge to prevent this from happening

or something like that

Do you drink soylent, or are you referring to the movie?

i don't know how nutritious it actually is

Compare that with a 1980s Publix where much hasn't changed in the 30 years up to now. Also, it doesn't matter if I NEED only one brand. I don't want to be stuck with the same bowl of government-provided oatmeal for the rest of my life. I want Captain Crunch one week and Cheerios the next, and even in poor conditions I have the freedom to make that choice.
i can't watch videos right now, you'll have to use your words

there's virtually no actual reason why you couldn't have several choices of products under a socialist system, and the argument from "it has failed several times in the past" doesn't hold up because i can easily just say "it has never been done right"

which i will do right now: it has never been done right

of course, that doesn't mean it can't ever be done right--so the argument you have to be prepared to make is that it could never be done right, which would be pretty bold of you to say

Why should I take you seriously when you literally just said we should live in a police state/dictatorship while opposing trump?
because that would be fucking awesome?
How? A lot of people oppose drumpf because they see him as a dictatorial figure so that doesn't really follow.

I like going to the grocery store and having the choice of choosing between numerous different brands of cereal, all within a nice price range of $2-$5. You don't get that when the government takes control of everything, you get one option and you can't guarantee it'll even be on the shelf when you arrive.
all you need is one brand anyway

but who's to say there couldn't be more

If your idea of a Utopia is a miserable poor Hellhole, than Marxism is just for you, but I don't like being poor nor do I like my friends being poor so I wont support it.

Hopefully this'll mean 2020 isn't bombarded with shitty contenders. I know the phrase is a meme by now, but honestly even at his failing old age, Bernie might actually have a chance. Still hoping for a McCain uprising though.
McCain is gonna be 8-fucking-4, dude. Bernie will be 79. If they don't kick the bucket by then, they'll almost certainly die in office. We need someone young.

And no, there is absolutely no reason to believe that 2020 won't be bombarded with shitty contenders.

Because it will be.

Kanye West is gonna end up winning because you're all fucking idiots and giggling schoolgirls who think this is all a joke.
