It is a rerun. I found the fight on youtube.

That was actually very entertaining.

For the most part, I agree with TC. But Jim Jefferies and Bill Birr are rare exceptions to this tule. Theyre vulgar as hell, but also extremely clever.

Shit dude. I thought the topic said you were going to start Morrowind. That explains my long post for advice that you didnt ask for.

marc55 posted...

so this zero tolerance policy is new and TC is claiming its been in place for 20 years ?

No, I am claiming that the law which states children be separated from their parents when their parents are deported has been around for 20 years. Read post #19. Turns out 16 years is more accurate, but for the love of God, how many times must I repeat this?

For those who have pointed out that legislation and enforcement are not the same, you are correct, but when massive people are being deported, you have to start going by the books. That isnt Trumps law, and hopefully it will be fixed. But the reason this is happening is because our government is finally cracking down on illegal immigration. Had we been more strict on illegal immigration in the past, perhaps this wouldnt be happening right now.

thats why the immigration laws need changing ASAP.

Yup. Won't find me disagreeing with that statement, either.

two illegal parents shouldnt be able to border hop and make an anchor baby.

don't want to separate families? great, send them all back together. people border hoping aren't americas fucking problem to deal with beyond saying "go home, go to prison, or get shot for resisting arrest".

camps holding people are a waste of money, as we should be shipping them back ASAP, not holding them for ages.

I agree with everything you said. But there is a law that has been in place for 16 years which prevents that.

I don't see why not.

^Don't bother. I have tried throughout this entire topic to get this guy to see a logical point of view, and he won't have any of it.

I just hope it's released on PC some day so I can use a mod to play with the original music.

How is it unforeseen if the law has been on the books for 20 years?

Because nobody has a computer for a brain that has every law memorized that was passed in the last 20 years.

Also, 16 years is more accurate. My bad.

Your cult leader's administration changed the policy so they started separating families like that. You know it. Stop.

Nope.

Except in the case of exceptional circumstances, any department or agency of the Federal Government that has an unaccompanied alien child in custody shall transfer the custody of such child to the Secretary of Health and Human Services not later than 72 hours after determining that such child is an unaccompanied alien child.

If you go to either of those pages, the very latest date you will find is 2013. If I'm not mistaken, our cult leader was not inaugurated until 2017.

is this not a policy of this administration to serve as a deterrent? Didn't sessions confirm this?

Sessions is a dumbass. Read post #19. Those laws have been in effect long before Trump was in office.

shockthemonkey posted...

Ok so what policies do you think changed in order to cause our current situation?

And I have acknowledged that. Being tougher on illegal immigration is what happened. But being tough on illegal immigration is a good thing. The children being separated is an unfortunate and unforeseen consequence. Now we're right back where we started, and I trust you're going to make me repeat something else for the 3rd time in this topic by continuing to bring up things I've already addressed.

Other presidents didnt have to build new internment camps specifically to house children who have been separated from their parents. If youre going to make the claim that other presidents have been separating children to the same extent Trump has then fucking prove it.

I have acknowledged this. And I stated that we wouldnt have the problem to this degree if previous presidents had been tougher on illegal immigration. Hopefully, some new policies will be implemented to fix this problem, but dont tell me that we should be more lax on illegal immigration itself.

So you lied your ass off and now youre trying to pretend youre being reasonable.

Other presidents didnt do this on a massive scale. It wasnt policy to break up every single family regardless of whether theyre asylum seekers. No one else has put so many children into interment camps. The president is leading the charge on their mistreatment.

You dont get to be intellectually dishonest and then play the lets blame someone other than the responsible party card.

I didnt lie my ass off. I never said it was happening to the same number of people 20 years ago as it is today, just that it had been happening. I provided sources with context on post #19. Yes, it is happening more now as an unforeseen consequence of Trumps tougher immigration policies. Not because Trump is some evil demon who maliciously separates families. and that is the point that I have been trying to make.

Unforeseen consequence?!? Its his fucking policy. What the fuck are you talking about?

Oh my fucking God, no it isnt. Read post #19. Those laws, which I provided links and context for, have been in effect since 2002.

better late than never tbh

Exactly. I don't know why people are using this as a "gotcha!" Separating children from their parents is pretty awful* regardless of which presidents have done it. Better for people to be angry now than not angry at all.

*Something of which apparently even Trump agrees on: https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/1007671131841671169
The Democrats are forcing the breakup of families at the Border with their horrible and cruel legislative agenda. Any Immigration Bill MUST HAVE full funding for the Wall, end Catch & Release, Visa Lottery and Chain, and go to Merit Based Immigration. Go for it! WIN!

It is awe full, and I hope something will be done about it. But the point Im trying to make is liberals shouldt be blaming Trump for this. The only thing Trump has done wrong here isnt be tough on illegal immigration. This separation stuff is just an unfortunate consequence due to laws that were made in the past.

Im not even a Trump supporter. Im just tired of liberal media blaming him for EVERYTHING whether its his fault or not.

All the time in the world to shitpost but you gotta take your time to verify your own bullshit. SAD!

Will my true statements still be shitposting after I provide the proof? Look, its easy for me to type words on my phone between customers, but finding proof that a specific law and proving it was implemented on a certain date is going to have to wait until Im free.

And it was wrong then, too. That people are protesting now is still relevant to the wrongness of it, just like racism was wrong before tumblr was around.

But theyre blaming Trump like its his fault. The law which states children be separated from their parents at the border had been in place for 20 years. Its only happening in mass now because Trump has been tougher on illegal immigration than any president in the past. If past presidents had been tougher on illegal immigration, perhaps the problem wouldnt be as big now. But separating the kids wasnt Trumps idea. Its just an unfortunate consequence of his illegal immigration policy.

Great choice. I just finished the main quest a couple days ago. Its one of the best experiences youll ever have in a game if you stick with it, although most people will get bored with it before they get that far.

As someone who finished the main quest on what was pretty much a blind playthrough, here are some things I will definitely do differently whenever I play in the future.

Have restoration as a major skill and find a fortify attribute spell so you can craft a spell to enhance your speed later on.

Maybe have mysticism and alteration at least as minor skills so you can cast levitate spells and mark/recall spells (mark/recall allows you to return to any place you mark. Very useful for eliminating backtracking since fast travel is limited in This game.

Do not use alchemy. Some will disagree, because alchemy can be overpowered, and you can get most of the benefits I mentioned above without having to level those skills up. However, gathering ingredients and crafting potions can be extremely tedious and dull, and its probably added at least 10 hours to my playthrough. No character I use in the future will use alchemy.

If you are going to be using magic, dont get the sign that increases your magic by 1.5x (or maybe its 2.0x, I cant remember). Get the one that increases it by 0.5x. The one that increases 1.5x (or 2.0x) doesnt replenish your magic meter by resting, and you have to use potions.

Turn off save on rest and create a new save each time you save your game. Every time you overwrite a save file, you are increasing your chance to encounter game-breaking bugs big time. I just numbered my save files when it asked me what I wanted to name them (1, 2, 3, etc.).

And liberals didnt care until Trump was in office and they needed something else to blame on him.

I understand but I don't agree. And there's a time and a place for everything, wouldn't do that on Facebook

Ok, but the first time I tried this after YEARS of not trying because of the stigma, the girl actually responded and was very receptive to my flirtiness. Admittedly, I was drunk when I messaged her, otherwise I never would have done it. But when she responded, thats when I came to my epiphany: Im not hopeless. I just havent been trying.

EdgeMaster posted...

Not sure wtf I just read....

I'm not talking about sending dick pics to girls or whipping it out at parties hoping to impress.

Like for example, if I see a pretty girl on facebook that I haven't met in real life, I'll send her a message, knowing that she probably won't respond, but what do I have to lose? Whereas before, I never would have even sent the message because it's "creepy" to message someone you don't know on facebook.

Sorry about the terrible grammer. Had to make the title fit.

Now that I've addressed that, let me rephrase the statement. If you've been single for a while, and you haven't RISKED the possibility of creeping a girl out, you haven't been trying.

I feel like this whole stigma about being "creepy" has been worse than it's ever been for the past few years, to the point that a lot of dudes don't try for fear of being thought of as a "creep." I write this as a guy who has recently stopped giving a fuck and been more aggressive in my pursuit of women, with the philosophy that if I don't creep any of them out, it means I'm not trying. Then again, maybe I really am creepy, and my more aggressive pursuit here lately is a result of desperation more than an actual productive epiphany.

Now that I think about it, most of the games that come to mind actually have really weak stories but are elevated by great characters and dialogue.

I think this is the case for a lot of games that people say have great stories. When in reality, very few video games have a well-written story. But the atmosphere, setting, and interactivity grasp the player in such a way, that they dont realize the story theyve been playing through hardly resembles anything close to a good plot. Anyway, what games were you thinking of when you posted this?

some weeb shit

So far, there are 3 titles that have been mentioned 3 times, and all three were originally Japanese. Although idk if I would call MGS weeb shit. Quite the opposite, really. Its a take on Japanese peoples fascination with American culture.

But all cops stand by and allow other cops to be bullies and try to help them cover up bullshit they did to protect their friends job or whatever. Some officers who use excessive force and abuse their power wouldnt have done it if the blue line of protection didnt basically make them feel so invincible. This part of police culture needs to change.

Once she gets 50 I just hold my breath and pound it out 10 times a day until she is dead

This has to be consensual, though. She especially may not be willing to do it that often, considering she may want to live life in such a manner that she doesnt have to worry about breaking her hip every time she bends over, for as long as she can.

Planescape: Torment

How did it take so long for someone to mention that one?

Even if you only have sex with her twice a week, thats 104 times a year. So she ages probably at least 8 years every year depending how much you have sex with her.

So lets say when the two of you start, you are both in your prime at 23. After two years, her body is 40, assuming sex twice a week. Assuming you lose some attraction for her and only have sex with her once per week now, it takes her four years to age the same amount. So after 6 years, you are 29, she is 57. Now she is starting to look like an old lady, but youve made this relationship work for 6 years. Surely you can manage to make her happy once every two weeks. At that rate, it takes 8 more years to age the same amount of years. After a 14 year relationship, you are with a woman who has the body of a 75-year-old. She is completely unfuckable to 37-year-old you. You manage to get drunk enough to have relations with her once or twice a year, which at that point it makes little difference as far as accelerating her age.

You dont have to use my above model for how often you have sex. It can be more or less depending on your preference.

I don't really want you to name any characters, as I want to recruit the ones I like along the way. But a good outline for what KIND of characters my other party members should be would be helpful. Brief or elaborate explanations as to why each should be in my party would be appreciated.

My main character is a Dwarf Fighter/Cleric

Strength: 18/00
Dexterity: 17

Wisdom: 18
