... you might actually try reading what m wrote, rp.

If you don't include congress giving him a free pass, most of it would involve deep sixing regulation, so far as I'm aware. Basically doing what obama's been doing, in reverse. Getting a complete lunatic fringe SCOTUS member would be pretty high up there, too.

And note he's promised to straight up get rid of things like the EPA. Unless that was a lie, too (which is a caveat for everything the weasely shit says), he'd be in a position to more or less do just that.

And all m said, heh.

Wrong decade. They'd have to bring hair metal and Tiffany.
Naaah, disco was early 80s, too. But there's always room for both.

And nah, nenj. Unless something's changed, the source was tracked down to some kind of reaction to some sort of local art/movie project, that spread to nearby towns and then kept going.  Nothing to do with marketing, basically. Just your fairly standard viral memetic spread.

No. No, you take that and you get right the hell out. Kefka is a thousand times the man trump is, and to link the two even tangentially is an ethical abomination.

Actually, this is more like an 80s revival. Apparently this clown thing happened to some degree back then, too. Shame they're not bringing disco with them.

I'unno about official but it's definitely on fire to a fair extent. Possibly the most amazing thing to me is that these last few days may have been the most spineless I've ever seen the GOP -- trump's actually outright attacking them and they're rolling out lines claiming a great relationship. Individual republicans are telling trump to shove it but the party itself/its upper ranks appears to be just kinda' bending themselves over and parting cheeks.

This keeps up and they're going to have to change the party color to yellow >_>

Not these days, no. Security is mostly a thing that happened to people three or four generations ago, by and large.

... no, you're totally describing a death cult, with a side of murder. A fairly hypocritical one when it talks about freedom and then how it'll take said freedom from others because they choose to do something different with it, too.

Nothing about technological immortality that takes away the choice of dying, anyway. It actually gives you a choice, really, instead of forcing you to be a slave to fickle biology and have no options but what that capricious bastard gives you. Forfeiting your cells would be casting off the chains forced on you at birth. Others may take their place but there's no virtue in submission to a master just because it got their first.

Try again, in other words. Your construction is an unsightly mess.

Game wise, might consider one of the newer ones? Or age of wonders or somethin'. Something from the disciples series, mebbe. Always had a fit trying to play homm3, m'self -- almost every aspect of the design felt oddly unpleasant and simultaneously enticing. Really wanted to play it and enjoy it, and there was a lot about it that was attractive, but it just never quite clicked.

Ultimately was only ever to really get sunk in when I was cheating pretty gratuitously, heh. Rumbled through most of the campaigns doing that but could barely manage to get through one or two stages without it. Not even because of difficulty or anything, was just the design kinda' grinding away at me, for reasons I can't quite recall.

Eh, I mostly do that on the main computer, but for all I'm slowly getting more used to this touchscreen keyboard thing, autocorrect still makes typing notably faster. Plus I haven't bothered to figure out how to turn it off, so it's either teach the thing or have to constantly be fighting with autocorrupt, instead of just occasionally.

Is the problem killer robots or is the problem that we've reached a situation where a nation's currency can lose 10% of its value in two minutes?
Yes? Yes. I think the answer here is yes. Or rather the latter is a problem and the former is a solution.

Why can't they just make it regular PG? I can't imagine emoji s being particularly offensive.
No, no, some are definitely PG-13+ territory. People have been making emoticon dicks for longer than the internet has had pictures.

In other wtf news, this post marks the point I teach this device's dictionary the word "dicks". Sooner or later this bloody thing will properly autocorrect vulgarity, but it's been a long and annoying process and it ain't there yet.

... not really. Nonlegal and unlawful are different sorts of things. What m linked actually clarified that.
I'm tempted to OOC quote this because it's so patently absurd, sorry...  I have a lot of respect for you.

First result on Google:
http://www.quickanddirtytips.com/business-career/legal/unlawful-versus-illegal

I see that there's a very slight difference but... emphasis on slight.
Didn't compare unlawful and illegal, rol, and for a reason. Nonlegal is, again, something different. In the particular context being referenced it's more or less just stuff that's not litigation and whatnot. For an example, if you were doing legal research, you'd go to a law library. If you were doing nonlegal research, you'd be checking economic statistics or somethin'. Which, as noted. What m linked did, in fact, clarify.

You're free to oocq it, o'course, though. Never particularly object to that, ha.

Are people suprised a State Department employee talking about classified meetings would want to speak anonymously? I don't know that Wikileaks has a reputation for inventing things from whole cloth.
They've kinda' been trying to garner one for the past while, actually. Shit's been off with that lot since at least the start of this campaign cycle.

In other news, the trump/russia connection would appear to be getting more questionable.
