That infinite-sized crafting bag is likely what will get me to break down and subscribe; I'm a packrat and there's so much crafting junk.Is there a major differences between playing by subscription and without?You get an infinite-sized crafting bag and access to all DLC content while you pay. You can just buy the DLC though, and access it anytime.
Oh man, if and when they follow through on that I will be sold like a bottle of skooma. I'm a sucker for anything Morrowind-related.Spoiler: Foreshadowing for those who care (click to show/hide)
That will be my one consolation if this passes. As a devout Discordian, I am encouraged - nay, required - to fabricate deeply-held beliefs at the drop of a hat. If this actually passes, I have no doubt that I will suddenly have always been anti-hetero.Well, fuck.
Don't look at this as a bad thing, look at it as an opportunity. Start your own church that hates cis straight people, then use that as an excuse to fire people at will.
As someone who works in a service industry (meaning all of them), it could be considered unprofessional to single out one of your guests/customers; whatever your intentions. They might have had good intentions, but maybe he was just there for a relatively quiet show (in the figurative sense).Current theory - which I find pretty plausible, actually - is that someone in the transition team deliberately sent Pence to go see Hamilton in order to cause a culture-war spat and get the previous day's $25mil Trump University settlements out of the media cycle that much faster. True or not, that seems to have been the effect.
Nevertheless, that's still an interesting choice of words from Trump.
edit: Btw, your math is outdated Reelya, Clinton has a 1 million plus pop vote lead on Trump.Clinton's up 1,677,041 by the latest numbers I can find. That's still not complete; full counts generally take a while.
Yup; protected classes and all that. It's funny, 'cause the bakers could've just refused for non-specific reasons; if they'd just said "we can't do that, sorry" or muttered something about schedule conflicts there would've been no problem, but they wanted people to know it was specifically religious. Which, again, is discrimination against a protected class, and therefor illegal.to be fair, I think case 1 is legit (private shop owner should be able to refuse service for whatever reason)I disagree. Private shop owners should not be allowed to discriminate by refusing a paying LGBT customer just like they're not allowed to discriminate by refusing service to a black customer or jewish customer. Religious freedom should not include the right to discriminate.
criminals fleeing HERE ironicallyFrickin' hipster criminals, coming over here and deluging us with their artisanal small-batch meth and their thievery-as-performance-art. At least they're easy to spot; anyone who answers questioning with a roll of their eyes and a "pshyeah, sure I'm here legally" and then goes off to write bad poetry about the overlooked simplicity and purity of 16-hour days picking strawberries, well...
~~Yup, his racism is pretty easy to spot. I appreciate that not all of his supporters are racist, but the caveat is that either A: They truly don't think he's racist, which means they're disturbingly deaf and/or blind, or B: They took a look at Trump and decided that his racism wasn't a deal-breaker for them. And that second one is a mindset I still struggle to picture; how someone could think that he's so good and/or Clinton is so bad that even out-and-out racist xenophobic rhetoric doesn't tip the scales.
Honestly not sure. He's mostly known for being a hard-core theocrat, so maybe he'll ban all of our ungodly usury?Also, according to this, Mike Huckabee is now rumored as a choice for Secretary of Commerce.
That good or bad?
Frumple, I've been thinking on the points you made regarding my "forsaken manufacturing worker" theory as to the rise of right-wing nationalism, and I think you do have a point. It's not that those who ended up unemployed or underemployed immediately turned this direction; hell, many benefited from various Democrat policies. It's that social media such as Reddit and Twitter gave them opportunities to stumble upon the rather alluring alt-right, which gave them an explanation as to why they feel that they aren't as well-off as their parents. The nice thing about this addition to the theory is that it also justifies why this shift happened so suddenly. It also avoids discounting all of the effort put into helping those in need, particularly by Democrats.Few pages late, but you might be interested in this here think-piece on a former manufacturing town and its voting habits, particularly the bits about church-reinforced social mores. They had a good run-up to this long before modern social media.
Rather amusingly, it lets me blame Brexit on Thatcher.
