The Flood / Black people vs white people
« on: October 20, 2014, 07:46:10 PM »
If black people are called African Americans, shouldn't white people be called European Americans?

The Flood / A girlfriend technicality
« on: October 20, 2014, 07:17:13 PM »
So, it came to my attention that I never actually broke up with one of my girlfriends from junior year of high school. We dated for 2 years [junior and senior year] and then "took a break." We went off to college and just stopped talking.

So...technically we never broke up.

The Flood / Should I get this phone? [edit: I got this phone]

Looking for a newer, bigger phone than my Moto G LTE, and I was displeased with the new Nexus 6 price. For $299 this seems like a pretty awesome phone, but it's pretty big with a 6.1" screen.

Should I get it from Amazon and send it back if I don't like it?

The Flood / Thank you :)

So, I know I harbored some ill feelings about this place after the previous incarnations had been shut down, but now I'm almost entirely converted to a full time user. I poke my head into b.net every couple days, but everything is so...empty. Not like there's nothing there; not that kind of "empty." There's just no feeling of community there. No depth. No substance.

Even though we flimflam each other's jimjams occasionally, I still much prefer to spend my time here.

So, thanks for not making this place a total shithole.

*hugs*

The Flood / World Series thread

Game 1 of the 2014 World Series starts tomorrow. Who do you want to win? Giants? Royals?

Do you even care about baseball now that hockey and football season has started?

Serious / Same-sex marriage. Who will be last to legalize it?
« on: October 20, 2014, 01:36:48 PM »


Seems that every few days, another state has legalized marriage equality. There's a few states awaiting decisions, and a handful more that have yet to move on it.

Who will be last?

Serious / Something about the GOP/Guns/Reagan bothers me.
« on: October 17, 2014, 03:30:33 PM »
Republicans tout Reagan as one of the greatest Presidents in recent US history. Republicans also demonize anyone who suggests/supports gun control legislation.

Reagan supported the 1986 assault weapons ban. He also supported the 7-day waiting period for handguns.

I had some bills to pay a while back, so I had to sell a lot of my guitar gear. Now I'm down to my amp, speaker cab, power supply, and an effect pedal.

Small, but mighty.

The Flood / Are you a cordcutter?
« on: October 16, 2014, 11:31:29 AM »
With the announcement of HBO allowing subscriptions without cable, I'm seriously considering finally ditching cable entirely. CBS is also coming out with an all-access service without cable. I imagine we're seeing the end of cable subscriptions and more people going for streaming + antenna for OTA channels.

Is anyone else considering going [or already] without cable?

Serious / Is being selfish a bad thing?
« on: October 16, 2014, 10:30:24 AM »
I often see this when people find out that I don't want kids; they call me selfish.

I don't really see that as a bad thing in this case. Having a kid is a life-long investment, both financially and emotionally, and one that I'm not interested in making.

Serious / Obama is abusing his power [AGAIN!]

By making too many national monuments and parks...
Quote
The president has named 13 national monuments so far using the century-old Antiquities Act, putting tight restrictions on more than 1 million acres of public land.

The most recent designation came last week, when the president designated more than 350,000 acres of the San Gabriel Mountains in California as a monument near Los Angeles.

While Obama and his allies see the land protections as furthering the cause of conservation, Republicans say they are evidence of an “imperial presidency.”
“The Antiquities Act is a political arrow in the president’s quiver,” said Melissa Subbotin, spokeswoman for Rep. Rob Bishop (R-Utah). “It’s abused for political purposes.”
[...]
In June, he expanded to nearly 500,000 square miles a sanctuary near remote Pacific islands, putting the area off-limits to fishing and energy exploration.

He’s also protected historic sites like an area in eastern Maryland that was important to the early life of abolitionist Harriet Tubman, and the home and gravesite of labor movement leader Cesar Chavez in California’s Tehachapi Mountains.

Drunk drivers hurt/killed in an accident they caused.

Saw this today:
Quote
UPPER SANDUSKY, Ohio — An Ohio man was killed on his wedding day when a pickup truck carrying him, his new wife and friends crashed.

Friends and family were mourning the deaths Andrew Bloomfield, 27, of Galion, and his 26-year-old friend Elizabeth Shelton, who were killed Sunday in northern Ohio's Wyandot County when the truck's driver lost control, authorities said.
[...]
Wyandot County Sheriff Michael R. Hetzel said Tuesday that alcohol likely was a factor in the crash, based on statements of people who were at the wedding reception, but that hasn't been determined for sure.

Hetzel said the four had gone to Tebbe's house and were returning to the wedding reception at a private barn. The truck drove off the left side of the road and struck an embankment and a utility pole before rolling several times and coming to rest in a cornfield, the sheriff's office said. Investigators don't believe anyone was wearing a seat belt.

People are stupid.
