Woot! Tickets for San Diego Comic-Con acquired!

TIMING!

To be fair, I was fairly hedgy about whether Americans not funding the Mujahideen in the 80s would actually... You know, accomplish anything about 9/11. There's a lot of ifs, buts, and ands, and even assuming all the dominoes are *there* (Such as whether the American funding had any influence on bin Laden surviving and becoming a key player) there's always the question of a) whether the American funding actually was the key bit, and would otherwise stop bin Laden instead of merely postpone it or... Just, nothing. And b) whether something else would fill the void even if that were the case, it's not like America is the only source of funding in the world. Bin Laden was *rich,* just to start. And Saudi Arabian, which might have gone "Hey, let's support those guys! For reasons!"

Was Nixon president when the U.S. was funding the Mujahideen (and possibly bin Laden) in the Soviet invasion of Afghanistan?

If so; yes. By not funding them, assuming that Americans funding was critical to bin Laden surviving create al Qaeda and organize the hijacking.

But I think that was Reagan.

REAGAN CAUSED 9/11

isn't promotions 4chan slang for (child*) porn?

Just watched Ex Machina

That ending has all my wtf.

I know, right? It's so great. It throws the entire rest of the movie into question. I mean, I know who I was rooting for through most of the movie, riiiiight up until that point, and then I don't know *what* to think anymore.

The plot info on wikipedia explains it I guess? Though he wanted the android to escape, then decides to stop her for some reason, then she escapes anyway.

I didn't say I didn't understand it.

I said I like how it fucked with expectations and threw me for a loop in terms of who I was rooting for.

That's not me not understanding it and I don't need to read the wikipedia page about the plot to know what was going on. :/

@Reelya: Mate, overseer was makin' what's known as "a joke." What?

Discord is an IM service like Skype or Steam Chat with in-built chat-rooms as well.

Most people use it for the chat rooms than for the one-on-one friend chat.

Other popular functions include sub-rooms in the chatroom, easy sharing of images on your clipboard (i.e. no need to use a hoster) and optional (and multiple) voice rooms in the chatrooms with multiple participants.

Recent addition of video chat too, but I do not know the specifics of how it's used or where it can be used. I haven't seen it used.

My only gripe with it is that it has no microphone testing in the options. Otherwise it's fairly clean UI, and easy to use. It doesn't "feel weird" like other IM services (like IRC) have to me.

uh

that was like

a poster, dude

an ad

that wasn't "their work" in that meaning any more than riffing off a trailer for a movie as "the movie"

there's usually a bit more to it
