For clarification I did not say that I thought Democrats have done nothing but that they aren't doing enough from 2016 to present. I admit I'm highly critical of my own party, but it comes from a place of desire to reach a better place for this country.
I agree the message and the means of...
The current obsession with fighting over racial, gender and social issues is becoming a fault for the Democratic party yes. They make heated talking points, and they have merit in their arguments with regards to equality and the lack of it in America. The conversation of difficult things is...
No the problem is that you don't understand that legally and socially Tobacco is increasingly viewed as a negative on society as a whole. It's a disgusting habit that does nothing but inflict harm at 0 benefit to anyone and everyone, and in my lifetime I've seen it go from a social norm to a...
I actually just sat here and laughed to myself for like 20 seconds out of sheer disbelief because this administration is hell bent on transparently f*cking every one of us with a big smile. You really can't make this shit up, they should be getting fined and prosecuted for criminal negligence...
This. Like 100 times this. At the very least they could be air dropping drinking water, emergency rations, and gas for cooking and generators. Of course that's no longer your run of the mill FEMA operation and probably needs military coordination to achieve. The CIC seems to have no will to...
In my personal experience they very rarely get investigated as hate crimes, much less acts of domestic terror. I'm not sure if local PD are reluctant to do this because it immediately goes to the FBI or Homeland in the case of terror. When my friends were beaten by Neo Nazi's the police...
Hot damn, this pleases me so much that the FBI is actually taking this seriously. In one of the other threads I chronicled my experiences with Neo-Nazi's from my youth and suggested that the level of violence perpetrated by White Nationalist groups would easily exceed that of any supposed ISIS...
Depending on what part of the country you're in, some POC would disagree with the police state thing. I'm lucky enough to not have to deal with that where I am. Despite the level of fame and income these men have achieved, it's important to remember a lot of them come from these areas I...
Would you tell your children to get over it? Do you not support the actions being taken by those on the wrong end of this harassment to create a dialogue and address this issue so your children don't have to encounter the same hardship you did?
That's what this is about, creating a dialogue and...
Was about to say this myself, thank you for saving me the trouble.
@OP You don't understand American Patriotism because American's don't understand it either.
We have an obsession with symbols like songs, pieces of cloth, and standing or saluting. The ideals of patriotism often get singled out...
Yeah I followed the link from the other thread about the random Nazi that got punched and forgot which one I was posting in. Everything but the first paragraph still applies though.
Yes, the question is, why isn't the Aryan Brotherhood considered a known terrorist organization, they perform...
@realibrad would you be okay with a local ISIS chapter gathering in public to spread the good word of their movement? They aren't criminals until they actually commit an act of terrorism so it should be okay right? We should protect their freedom of speech and right to assembly despite their...
Question for you guys, how many of you have actually had a run in with a group of Neo Nazi's in your life? The guy in the OP is obviously a single little bitch of a man who went out for no other reason than to draw attention to his cause, and he's getting it. What he said to whoever finally...
Couple that with an intrinsic belief that you support the party of god loving Christians everywhere and you can convince them to vote against their own religious principles as long as you scorn homosexuality, abortion, and breaking the laws of man.
My dad voted for Trump, he was an illegal...
The generation of boot straps and responsibility doesn't want to take responsibility for it's own voting habits, what a surprise. I always thought it was us millennials that didn't want to take responsibility for our actions.
It definitely wasn't fiscal irresponsibility and the generations slow...
I wish Russian was still around, he had some excellent numbers on this exact topic. It works out to be roughly the same, as was mentioned before, the % gain over previous generations is almost guaranteed these days since NVidia is an execution monster. Ideally the most money can be recovered if...
@glenn1 @fskimospy Glad we're all in agreement here that the current system of drawing districts is inherently bad. I was kind of hoping taj would actually give me a reply, but I'm clearly an optimist.
I agree with both of you that removing the system as it is today is the best way to move...
That doesn't play when you're grabbing high variance mixed income and ethnic areas. Looking at that and knowing the entire area in question because I've lived here my entire life I share 0 of the same interests in policy with Southeast Travis County, New Branufels I'm willing to give the benefit...
To be clear you're talking about California and not Texas right? Because I'm pretty sure the GOP just got caught red handed gerrymandering our great state.
Good news, but it's probably not going to matter for mid terms in 2018. The GOP effectively got 3 elections worth of seats out of this farce of a map (if you haven't taken a look at it you guys really should, you couldn't be anymore obvious if you tried).
I'm still disappointed because there's...
Here's the thing that Homer and myself are pointing out that no one seems to really grasp. If you wish to be a part of a more socially advanced and post racist society, there should literally be only one response to his question about the speech. The answer that is your first response should be...
Not in 100% agreement, but I do believe states should do away with winner takes all when it comes to electoral votes. Proportional electoral college gives those voting for third party candidates an actual chance of their candidate ever being anything more than a vote of protest.
Taken down, no. I'm okay with caveats and notations in history books or monuments, acknowledgement and condemnation is what we're looking for. For confederate statues, hell yes, rip them all down. Conservatives love to talk about the snowflake generation that gets trophies for losing, aren't...
Nope. No. Not at all.
As a POC I can tell you with 100% certainty that civil rights are not enshrined into our culture. Wake up from your dream where passing legislation is the only measure we need to take as a society to heal the wounds caused by hundreds of years of systematic oppression. I...
They didn't ask for the statue to be torn down though? They asked for a plaque next to it that would state while Jefferson's accomplishments as a founding father were worthy of note, that they would acknowledge that he was incorrect in his assertion that the negro was an inferior race and it's...
The mentality down here is very much that regulation is almost as evil as illegal immigrants and the gays. The increase in cost associated with any sort of regulatory compliance is viewed as a scam by construction, mortgage and insurance companies.
It would require some serious federal strong...
Looks like there's a lot less stuttering going on with HBCC turned on. I always believed it was a feature intended for getting more stable frame rates vs one that is to help achieve higher framerates, and it looks to be doing it's job at high resolution.
It's 50-50, half of it is that they are brown, and the other half is that people have this almost religious tenacity when it comes to "following the law". I'd wager it's been conditioned into people to keep them from questioning the bigger picture behind their laws. The American legal system is...
I actually don't have a problem with reading their nonsense I just don't give them the pleasure of a response. It's more that it immediately kills the discussion as soon as one pops up, it either kills the thread entirely, or it turns it into a shit fest of people eating the troll bait.
Have you tried frame capping at 120 fps and lowering the power limit? I had the same thing happen to me with Overwatch, I was getting temps over 80C when it never used to happen before with the in game frame limiter on. I took the power limit down to ~85% and now I'm still pulling the same...
Tuition assistance* is strictly income based, and it is federal aide money. If they received it, it means a citizen of the same income bracket also qualified, if you did not, it means you didn't qualify.
Edit for clarity
For the record, DACA does not allow public assistance to those that are here under its protection. They do not qualify for medicaid, welfare, or other government programs (I think with the exception of the school lunch program which I'm okay with, the children aren't old enough to pay taxes)...
I'd take that a step further, even the people who are pleased that it's not being extended need to contact their congress members to tell them to put immigration reform as a top priority. It needs to be a bipartisan effort that has clearly defined steps and a process that isn't excessively...
It's going to be a very hard thing to do, a lot of that mentality has been indoctrinated for generations. My father is a baby boomer and I remember the day I told him that I enjoyed some recreational pot use every now and then and it was like I stabbed him right in the heart. He wouldn't speak...
