Their opinions matter because people will listen to them regardless of their level of expertise.

To be fair, isn't it better to publicly admit to what he did instead of lying about it like most people seem to do? Doesn't excuse what he did though.

Wow who knew there were so many badasses on CE this late at night. I'm just a regular skinny dude but I would hope I could still beat someone who's elderly and not in the best shape.

I think everyone already knows Disney Star Wars is not actual canon.

This. "Canon" is a subjective term and doesn't actually mean anything.

This is the exact opposite of reality. Take your meds kids.

Whoops, I quoted the wrong post. My point is that people will try to delegitamize something they don't like by saying is isn't canon, when really that means nothing. It's all fiction, the new movies are just as real as the old ones.

Again so if i bought the rights,and made it so jar jar binks built the death star and was darth vader all along. You would be okay with that?

I wouldn't be ok with it, but I also wouldn't insist that it's not canon.

They actually brought it back on MTV with Ludacris as the host. But it's nowhere near as good and clearly has a much lower budget.

Democrats wouldn't admit any faults of Obama. And Trump is a much better president than Obama could have ever hoped to be.

Chicago is honestly The Wire. Corrupt cops,high crime rate and a very edgy populace. It's just and awful city to live in and only getting worse

Have you even lived there? It's an awesome place to live, as long you know which areas to avoid. Weather sucks though.

He can't, he just wants to rage against liberals somehow being the bad guys because science is bad and somehow science = liberals even though pure rationality is an extreme conservative point of view and the foundation of society these days, but nevermind any of that because derp liberals derp

A liberal with anger problems? Color me surprised

A conservative with logic problems? Color me surprised.

Yep

Let's see your sources.

Here's your typical liberal: always demanding an academic citation to back up anything and everything said. Of course the citation must also come from some hippy professor at a liberal arts and sciences college.

Yes, how dare liberals support claims with actual evidence.

People care more about a flag and their country's supposed image more than murder and abuse by the police or the mass corruption by our current government and all the non-rich people getting fucked over by said government.

Gullible idiots get roped into this nationalistic mindset and have an idealistic view of authority. The government uses this tactic to stifle criticism and change. How does it feel to be useful idiots (again) right wingers?

Yep. This guy gets it.

Does that mean Family Guy & such is going to be a kids show now?

Family Guy was always a kids show. Only kids ever found it funny.

If you think the first 3-4 seasons of Family Guy weren't funny, then I don't know what to tell you. The show's been awful for the last 10 or so seasons though, I'll give you that.

Tinder sucks now. I installed it again about a month ago and couldn't believe how shitty it was. Right off my phone it went.

The Tinder golden age was in 2013 and early 2014 -- when they still had unlimited likes, didn't have any ads yet, and were popular enough that the volume was great. I would just mindlessly swipe right for hours while watching football and end up hundreds of matches. It was amazing.

Agreed. Not to mention the "moments" feature and "last online" section. The moments were great for conversation starters, and you actually knew which users were active. I almost feel like they're TRYING to make it harder to get dates so that people spend more time on Tinder and keep paying for their s***.

Yeah, kik in the bio is definitely a red flag, along with all modeling pics, no bio, or an overly flirty/sexual bio.

I mean, does anyone even use kik besides horny guys and people looking to prey off horny guys?

Mystery solved guys. After doing some further Facebook stalking...turns out the guy died not that long ago :(

Its not on you to do a background check... but if she is willing to cheat for you, she will probably cheat on you.

Eh, I'm not really going for a long term relationship anyway because I'm moving across the country next year. So I'm not too worried about that.

do you even know exactly who the guy is in her photos? or do you just get off being paranoid?

No, I don't know him. But if you saw the photos you'd see why I think that. They're kinda "couply" pics.

For those of you who didn't see my topic last week, tl;dr a girl started messaging me on Tinder and asked to grab drinks. I did some detective work to find her Facebook, and she had a lot of recent pics with a guy (including her profile pic, and she was in his too). Dude lives in a different state according to his FB.

Anyway, I went out for drinks with her tonight. We talked for a few hours and seemed to connect pretty well, moreso than I expected. And she looked better in person than in her pics. I didn't mention anything about her Facebook pics or whether she has a boyfriend. So now I'm in a weird situation, would I be a s***ty person for trying to take this further knowing that she likely has a boyfriend?

bump

I also forgot to mention that the guy is even in one of her Tinder pics (not her main one). At first I just figured it was her brother or something and didn't think much of it. Just makes it even weirder if that's her boyfriend.

I started talking to this midly attractive (6/10) girl on Tinder. Just a few messages into our conversation, she asked if I wanted to grab drinks. That seemed a little weird to me since girls on Tinder are never THAT eager, especially ones that are decent looking. So I put my Facebook stalking skills to use and found her page. It didn't say anything about her relationship status, but the same guy was in her profile picture and several other pics. And she was in his profile pic too. Seems like the guy might live in another state (she's here for school) but I don't know for sure.

What do you guys make of this? Should I meet up with her?

Really delicious, but I'd say Giordano's is better for Chicago deep dish pizza.

As a Bears fan, I can't help but laugh. Like I'm not even remotely mad about it because I know we suck.

Fact.

Did we go back in time to two weeks ago?

I shouldn't have to make this topic this week, but unfortunately people continue to complain about the kneeling every Sunday.

There are so many worse things in the world to get mad about than some guys kneeling.

I can't be the only one who read the word "pens" as something else.

I didn't really start watching until 2008 or so. I started disliking it probably around 2014-2015 when I realized how formulaic and cringe-worthy it was.

Can we not turn this into a political argument please. -_-

The point is that this kinda disproves a lot of the theories about his motives since it obviously wasn't a spur of the moment thing.

Haven't seen any topics about this yet.

The mystery over mass shooter Stephen Paddock deepened Thursday with news he rented rooms at Chicago's Blackstone Hotel overlooking the Lollapalooza music festival in Grant Park in August, two months before he opened fire at a country music concert in Las Vegas.

Paddock reserved two rooms on the park side of the hotel with a clear view of the outdoor festival, but he never showed up, according to a law enforcement source, who asked for anonymity because he wasnt authorized to publicly disclose the details.

The disclosure fueled speculation that Paddock may have been considering other targets before settling on Las Vegas Sunday night, where he fatally shot 58 people and wounded nearly 500 others.

The Boston Globe, quoting anonymous sources, said Paddock may have scouted Fenway Park and other Boston venues. And Las Vegas police say Paddock rented hotel rooms near a concert featuring Chance the Rapper in Las Vegas about a week before the mass shooting, which occurred farther down the strip.

Investigators say Paddock's motive still eludes them as they piece together his movements and track down his purchases of dozens of weapons and thousands of rounds of ammunition.

Anything that would indicate this individuals trigger point and would cause him to do such harm, we havent understood it yet, Las Vegas Sheriff Joseph Lombardo told reporters. He said Paddock had been "living a secret life, much of which will never be fully understood."

The booking of the Blackstone rooms was first reported by TMZ and later confirmed to the Tribune by law enforcement sources. The Blackstone, in a statement, said a Stephen Paddock reserved rooms but no one by that name stayed there.

From those rooms, Paddock would have had a clear view of the entrance to Lollapalooza and a major exit across a bridge.

At least three stages would have been in front of him, one to the west of Columbus Drive and two to the east. Two more stages would have been to his right and two to his left, according to a layout of the festival grounds. The entrances and exit would have been clogged with festival-goers.

Lollapalooza has a daily draw of more than 100,000 people.

The festival arrived in Grant Park in 2005 when it was retooled as a destination festival by co-founders Perry Farrell and the William Morris Agency with new partners, Texasbased Capital Sports Entertainment (now C3 Presents).

It was staged for two days and drew more than 65,000 people. It expanded to three days in 2006 and four days in 2016. In recent years it has consistently sold out its 100,000-a-day capacity in advance.

In Boston, Paddock reportedly made online searches of Fenway Park and the Boston Center for the Arts, both of which host summer festivals. The Boston Globe said it was unclear if Paddock was ever in the city or when he conducted the searches.

A week before the mass shooting, Paddock rented several rooms through Airbnb at The Ogden hotel in downtown Las Vegas for Sept. 22-24, the dates for the Life is Beautiful music festival that featured Chance the Rapper.

The next Sunday, Paddock broke out two windows in a suite on the 32nd floor of the Mandalay Bay Resort and Casino and fired hundreds of rounds.

Was he doing pre-surveillance? Lombardo asked. "We dont know yet.
