Well, in that case, could I become the governor of a colony once you get the special characters?

We'd need to give him bionic legs, though. 'MURRICA would never accept a disabled leader these days.
Rather cynical of you. We have gay, lesbian, and trans leaders. We have leaders of every color and creed. Our president is black and a female president isn't likely to be far behind. I'm sure we have disabled leaders, and their lot in life nowadays is much easier than in Roosevelt's time.

31% of democrats would not vote for a gay or lesbian president. If the democrats tried for a gay president then they could potentially lose 15% of the vote just on Democrats they'd turn away.

I don't even want to know what the statistics are on the groups that weren't included, mainly trans and disabled. Admittedly these numbers are on the rise, but they're still not good yet.
Consider that there has never been an openly atheist or gay Presidential candidate. Consider that there has been a black one, and that number is sitting at the top of the list. It is easy to say you'll never let those godless bastards into office when none of them are running. You aren't quite as obviously a bigot until your bigoted opinion has an effect.
Whoa! Where'd your cynicism go? You should be like this more often :)

PTW and seconding the image size reduction.

If you don't want to resize them yourself before uploading (or can't, if these are off X-Fire or Steam or something), you can insert the width tag into your BBCode, like so:
Code: [Select]
[img width=800]*image URL here*[/img]
Not sure what sort of "characters" this game has, can someone elaborate?

Why does everyone think my avatar isn't smiling? IT'S A SMIIIIILE D:<

That face reads to me like "Not sure what I'm looking at, but am mildly perturbed."
That's the impression I get O_o;



Unrelated WTF: My phone says that I'm running out of hard drive space. Except that I can clearly see that internal storage is only about a quarter full while the SD card isn't even at a tenth.

I have to say though, that Mecha!Roosevelt (Teddy or Franklin) would be pretty kickass.

29377
Nah, we'd have to bring FDR back for Emperor. He's had the most terms of any President, and did quite a few things while in office.

29378
Nooo! We must stick with Imperial measurements. It sounds cooler and it's part of our national quirkiness!

Well, most of my previous dreams have gone to the "WTF" thread, but considering how frequently I've been getting them lately I better start posting here :P

Last night, I had a dream that a bunch of anime, cartoon, otherwise-fictional, and even historic figures were forced to live in a house together, Big Brother-style. They included Malcom Reynolds, Hinata, Pongo, Asuka, and even freaking George Washington. There may have been crime fighting involved, but I don't remember enough to be sure.

I lose the key of Blade & Soul, this made me sad. I am looking forward to this game for a long time.
Damn, last I heard about that was three or more years ago. Can't believe it's still being worked on.

wat. Just... wat.
I'm still unsure as to whether or not I'd like to be called 'Dovahkiin'
I'm sure they began to regret their decision as soon as they got home and the kid started shouting :P

I'm a few pages into the first chapter.

Except he did paint, until WWI came along and he (mostly) stopped doing it. His stuff doesn't seem very impressive anyway.

Kinda is, yeah :P

It seems like different companies and governments own different translations. In the U.S., the rights are owned by Houghton Mifflin, but in other countries the respective governments own the rights.

It just took like, 10 minutes to torrent totally legally download Mein Kampf. Which was 1.7ish Mb's of PDF.
Hm.
Y'know, I have no objections to torrenting legally downloading from Hitler :P
