    I know I don't post a lot but I do access the site from my phone quite a bit to see what is going on. I was wondering if there are any upgrades to the mobile version available. It would be nice to be able to use the shout box and give rep without having to switch to the full site. I would use and contribute a lot more if those were available.

    I guess about that knowing everything ever bologna. Also, Jamie lost all the few points he had with me after he did nothing once Olenna flat out told him she killed Joffrey. He couldn't let her go out easy after that. Stab her in the gut or something dude, gee whiz.

    Perhaps the reaction had something to do with the guilt he felt after letting Tyrion go and the subsequent loss of his father. He now has confirmation that it was a witch-hunt and Tyrion was innocent.

    I don't think anyone is saying it easy, honestly. Cause it's hard and it takes self control... BUT you can eat absolute junk and not eat so much of it and still lose weight. Calories in vs out. I don't care if all you eat is Cheetos and beer. If you keep it to 1500 calories as an adult male you will lose weight.

     

    You will likely have a bunch of other issues since you won't get any of the protein, healthy fats, etc, but you will lose weight. I realize there are a ton of causes to a persons obesity but inability to exercise or what ever a food desert is is not a valid excuse. Eat less calories = lose weight. It is exactly that simple. I don't think you SHOULD just eat crap, only less of it but you CAN is all I'm saying. It takes minimal effort to figure out a rough estimate of the amount of calories in your food as most food service places, including McDonald's put the calories right in the menu and it is readily available on line.

     

    Now depression links, societal issues as far as culture is concerned I get, I just don't see lack of money as a valid excuse.

     

    Btw, excercise as a means to lose weight is a sham. It will help a little, but it is for becoming more healthy not for losing weight.

    I don't think it is different. I think they're rebranding DLC because people love mods, and I'm sure there will be people who buy into it. Maybe they mean pay for the right to make mods.

    It sounds like a way to outsource the developing of what amounts to DLC. Bethesda is a fairly small studio so devoting a few programmers to making Add ons for a game that is not going to sell anymore is expensive. However if they can devote minimal resources to assisting several individuals that only get paid by commission on what they develope independently they can keep the games from their archives alive a lot longer without spending a bunch of money on development. I'm not really for or against this. I'm in wait and see mode.

    Thanks dude, just heard the heart beat for the first time and it's mad.

    One of the coolest things ever. Kind of hit me over the head with a "holy crap, this is happening" feeling. And not in a bad way if that makes sense.

    I think the idea is less people would die/have shitty lives. Always a good thing, right?

    Of course that's a good thing BUT I'm not sure that's how it goes. If we make it worse instead of better and MORE people die/have shitty lives because of the kind of thing that happened with the VA or some other bureaucratic bs not only did we screw over the country.l, but also took power away from the people to be in charge of their own lives in the process. Death by a thousand cuts and what not. Our federal government is so bloated and inefficient and corrupt and awful in so many ways. Everyone is in bed with the money and we will all get screwed no matter what your ideological stance is.

    Even a shitty universal system would still be affordable for people.

    I agree with your overall sentiment, Sarge but people start dying while on waiting lists when the system is shitty. How much different is that than dying because medicine is unaffordable? To the person dying, and their family the end result is the same.

    Looking to put a small lift and some bigger wheels on it as my tires are at about a 30000 mile mark and it's nearing time to replace them so if I'm gonna do it I'd rather it be now.

     

    Edit: took a minute but I found a pic of it. And me. Holding it.post-2969-0-81602100-1486001795_thumb.jpg

    You've given a real problem like 6 times in your posts but decided that patrolling was the issue. Quotas are by and large illegal and ineffective. They promote profiling and destroy police relations with the community. The very idea of arrest benchmarks or anything resembling a quota should be done away with.

     

    Edit: there are some really good points elsewhere in your posts but I don't think patrolling should be done away with. Police departments should not be seen as a profit gathering point for any municipality or county. Tickets and seizures should not be figured into budgets, in fact seizures should be completely illegal.

     

    Edit edit: also agree about unwarranted searches. nonviolent criminals make up a large part of our prison populations. We need to reform the war on drugs cause we suck at it. People have such a bias against addicts that we just throw them in jail. These people need help not jail.

     

    Hell if you've read my posts over the years you've probably heard me say we should legalize drugs (and gambling and prostitution). Yes, it will be a weird thing to get used to and it won't be all rainbows and sunshine... well maybe for a particularly happy lsd user it will be. This will discourage illegal searches for items that are not illegal any more.
