It's pretty mind-blowing how these fucks make it through the legal system to become its leaders.

So how are these people supporting "limited government" when they want to ban abortion
Banning abortion doesn't create a new agency of government, it just makes the process illegal.

they also want to ban gay marriage?
That isn't in the Republican platform. Trump has stated that the Supreme Court decision is the law of the land and it is to be respected. And to further clarify, most Republicans wanted it done at a state level. Republicans tend to see sweeping changes by the Supreme Court as legislative, overstepping their bounds as the judicial branch. Most Conservative opposition to liberal social policies is because they stem from the federal government, rather than the state and local level, not because they actually disagree with it.

They're screening candidates. Why is this news?

One, no where did I mention the boos coming from the audience
It's the title of the video.

Second, I bring it up not for the speech, but for the reaction that it's had among pundits and Trump (Including calling the issue harassment) and in light of continuing protests across the country.
Not trying to be a dick, but if the point isn't the speech but the political reaction, why didn't you post that instead?

On that topic, I don't really care. It's just more of the rightfully butthurt left expressing themselves. Trump viewing it as harassment (despite being a fairly cordial sentiment they gave), well that's just a bit more evidence that he's a reactionary idiot.

tbh it sounds like the 1-2 people booing were doing so at the apparent setup for an insult against Pence. Pretty clickbait-y, and I'm not really sure why this is in Serious.

They're running on the same engine since Morrowind. Eventually it's going to reach a limit in terms of what you can do with it. You can only pile so much on a foundation before it can't take anymore. CoD had the same effect, using the same engine since CoD 2.

Creation was made for Skyrim. It wasn't used for Morrowind or Oblivion.

As videos, images, and audio files get more intricate, the need for bigger and bigger RAM will inevitable increase, and there are a good number of people who choose to do video editing on an Apple. Even if 16GB isn't needed now, when it ultimately is needed we go back to Apple's #1 issue: forcing obsolescence. In the situation of a PC, all you gotta do is turn off your computer, open it up, swap the RAM, and you're good to go. Apple unfortunately doesn't work that way, you are forced to buy a brand new (probably $500-$1500 price range) computer to get a hardware upgrade that maybe might cost $200 at most.

They have a point with the RAM though. Even most PC users -- including gamers -- don't ever need more than 8GB let alone 16GB (most do simply to future-proof and because RAM is dirt cheap). And nobody is gonna try to run AutoCAD on a fucking Apple notebook.

For video processing, GPU + CPU are far more important, and notebooks fail to deliver in general, not just from Apple. Someone that needs to work with video or 3D modeling has no business doing so on an Apple notebook nor a Windows Surface. Like I said, >16GB for typical users (to whom Apple is advertising) is completely unnecessary. Obviously a built PC is a better option for home computing, and I would never buy an Apple laptop for professional or personal use, but that argument can't be hinged on the lack of 32GB of RAM on .14" thick Macbook -- it's predicated on babbys first OS, absurd price, and lack of (other) specs.

Over the past year of the election I've all but begged liberals on this site to move on from the hyperbolic rhetoric and criticize any of Trump's numerous legitimate faults. Clinton could have sweeped the election if she had a platform that consisted of anything other than responses to Trump.

also, get yourself a titlebar, you're eligible now
Oh right, those exist.
apparently you can't even see them on mobile, right

okay, so, a zoomed-in piece of it

Yeah, I think it takes as much as it can starting from the right. On mine I can see about half of the lights, and they're right under my name.

Star Wars is science-fantasy, not fiction, so there's no real need for an explanation. It's literal space magic.

I mean, it's live action anime so it's going to be terrible, but blonde-haired hazel-eyed Alphonse Elric (pseudo German/European) is being played by a goofy Japanese dude.

One area I would distance myself from Turkey in is that he seems to think fiscal stimulus prolongs recessions; he said as much about the Obama stimulus.

I don't recall saying that. The New Deal was a failure largely because it lacked fiscal stimulus; it forced wages and prices to inflate during a depression -- something even an economic luddite would recognize as unwise.

Thinking about getting it tonight, hearing good things from reviewers although there are some performance issues on PC.

Seems like it's another broken port, so I might just go dark side and buy it on a console.

He'll just end up putting his assets in a blind trust for the duration of his presidency. It won't be a big deal.


I wouldn't exactly say his children running his companies is a "blind trust"
Because it isn't. They aren't eligible to do so because they're on his staff.

Yeah I'm pretty much done with this speculative shit.

 "An inside source", "a report"

This is exactly what you do in freshman English when you don't have a legitimate source for the bullshit you typed up the night before the due date.

Lawyer up son.

My insurance will litigate on my behalf if it comes to it. The worst that will happen is that I'd have to pay my deductible. Still pisses me off to be taken advantage of.

How the heck was she able to find you guilty?
Sounds like you need a better lawyer.

I didn't use a lawyer, because it's a minor traffic offense. In general, someone performing a left hand turn (as I was) is usually responsible for any accidents that occur. They also had a witness that corroborated their claim that they had a green light (even though I was looking at the light and am 100% certain they ran a red). Though, this was about ten minutes after the officer told me in the hall that he would get it dismissed if the other driver didn't show up.

1407
I just view it as a ploy to wring out some support from the left. It's not a genuine, heartfelt co-option of a suppressed minority group

When it comes to Trump, I'd much rather have insincere compromise than none at all.

How long after the accident did she go into labor?

She went to the hospital that evening and they induced labor. I don't know how it could be possible to prove that they did that because of the accident (which wasn't bad at all) or if it was just time for her to give birth.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tokenism

Is it tokenism if it's a statistical representation of the population? There are 15 cabinet members, and gay/bisexual people make up a little less than 5% of the US population. 1/15 is 6%, so it's actually a statistically higher representation.

And even then, tokenism is a hardly worthy of criticism if it opens the door to more.

tl;dr pregnant lady hits me while I'm turning left, she pulls out some BS in court and I get found guilty, and now she's claiming that she had labor induced because of the accident and that I should pay her hospital bills.

She was very far along in her pregnancy, and she vehemently denied needing to go to the emergency room at the scene. I think she went home and just figured she could get her bills taken care of. My insurance guy says he's never seen someone have to pay for a baby delivery because the accident didn't cause her pregnancy, but these guys seem pretty good at manipulating shit.

Am I fucked?
