But I don't rightly know, since horse-riding is cruel, and it's a stupid "sport" open only to folk with too much money, so there's that.
POE'S LAW, POE'S LAW, POE'S LAW.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

It's not even open only to folk with too much money, I mean, right, keeping a horse does cost money, but I know people who earn jackshit and still have them. Sure, you aren't getting to top with horse that has not been bred for performance and without training since childhood, but what's the difference between that and the rest of Olympics?

The rest of the Olympics doesn't involve forcing an animal to perform for peoples' amusement.

The worst Trump could do is fill the Supreme Court seat with some idiot. Congress and the Supreme Court are going to guck over Trump on every occasion they get (I'm certain his promises are against the Constitution in some way) and then that's the end of things. As to ISIS, they're being beaten pretty hard as expected, and soon their atrocities will stop.

And you fight for what you want to make the world better. So none of this will ever happen again. And don't let anyone dissuade you from doing so.

While I appreciate the sentiment, the worse Trump could do is start the nuclear apocalypse. The American system is designed for quick action by El Presidente, not deliberation by sensible people.



As for Cinder, I feel you. Part of my bluntness in this thread is 'cause of all the sads, and the necessity of not feeling it myself so I "ignore" it and say what I think needs to be said.

This isn't a thread I enjoy having on my list of topics, but I always feel the need to pop into it sometimes. It is silly.

Wait, so you didn't hate the ending? everything after the first game? the stupid concepts in the third game, which shat on the players who had the entire series with the online nonsense and was generally not very good anyway?
HERETIC

Sound like she just wants to screw with his career out of sheer pettiness. Well, assuming that a rider and a horse need a long time working together to perform at top level.

I'm reasonably sure that some of the equestrian competitions (dressage) require the rider to ride a horse provided by the competition.

But I don't rightly know, since horse-riding is cruel, and it's a stupid "sport" open only to folk with too much money, so there's that.

Day 2 End

vishdafish demands that origamiscienceguy be the one that gets lynched this day, but origamiscienceguy yawns, completely ignoring him, and retires for the evening. You all follow his lead, and go to bed, perhaps hoping the assassin feels the same level of inaction will be acceptable overnight.

No lynch!

I don't think climate change is very high on the list of things that adversely affect black people.

Depends on the standard.

As a pragmatist, so long as something works as intended, it's a good standard. Goldeneye on the N64, for example. Ugly game, controls are awful, but the game is super great fun with super great music.

As for my happy, the lighthouse scene in Battle Royale, since I'm a morbid bastard, too.
