  1. But the name tags? And if it's like MPD here..the Badge number is on the helmet so you can find your effing gear when it all gets tossed together.
  2. Aren't you paying attention? that shit is happening everywhere. This isn't some isolated case... Republicans win because their base stays hyperfocused on winning. I mean..I'm not voting for Joe...the top of my ballot is gonna be blank...but even though moderate republicans out there don't approve of Trump as a person...they aren't gonna not vote for him.
  3. Naw..we discussed the failures of the war and bad economic policies that led to the housing crisis and other stuff all the time with no issues. It was really when all these conspiracy theories about Hilary started being pushed over and repeated ad nauseum that things devolved. Trump isn't stupid...he knows that a lie repeated enough can become the truth.
  4. Admittedly not...the vast majority ..around 30 or so were centrist Republicans before Trump. But from what I'm seeing...this seems to be the norm across the country as they are choosing to double down.
  5. Based on what I've seen my relatives devolve into over the last 4 years...I disagree. They went in for Trump timidly and are now digging in harder and harder as the mistakes and idiocy blows up. Even during the Bush Jr years they weren't actively pushing conspiracy theories every chance they got.....social media and these right wing pocasts and media has really pushed them hard into trumpism. We used to talk and debate all the time..and now...well you can't debate conspiracy theories and as soon as i start putting facts in discussions they attack my and not my argument.
  6. I'm down for that...all i can say is that I'm down for some big tongue in cheek scene chewing fun.
  7. 1. I said that looking at this game reminded me I still needed to get the Subnautica expansion.....not that the two were comparable in gameplay or content 2. I also said I like game set underwater.....and this is set underwater because thats the natural environment for your shark character Your're not a shark thats running around land....it's not your natural setting for the game...hence limited movement and ability once you leave the water. Its open world with the exception that your severely limited outside your natural environment..which makes sense. Just because Ecco could jump out of the water and perform actions doesn't mean Ecco's setting wasn't under water either. Also...you should have been fine with my original post with getting pedantic about it in the first place.
  8. Hyped for this game...for some reason I love games set underwater. Reminds me I still need to get the Subnautica expansion.
  9. Bernie has 1 foot in the grave....if he somehow got to be President....him dying in office would not be an unexpected thing so VP in his case is as good as President....and sabermetrically I'd go with Sanders/Klobuchar to make that play to swing voters in the midwest states Trump won or moderate Democrats in general...but my heart wants Sanders/Warren. Of course I understand the VP nominee will likely come form none of these...but it will play a major factor this time around I feel.
  10. We literally live in a society where drug users go to public libraries to get off because they have naloxone on hand to bring em back from the dead. The idea of removing that variable to save on healthcare costs is plenty plausible. Hell...we are already trying to do that https://www.nbcnews.com/storyline/americas-heroin-epidemic/ohio-sheriff-says-his-overdosing-ohioans-my-guys-have-no-n780666 You let someone make it an official government policy preventing healthcare based on a variable....bad stuff is gonna follow. But I will concede that your view on humanity may be more positve and optimistic than mine.
  11. If it's their choice to move to pallative care..then I'm good with that. But we can't remove them from the decision making process. If they want treatment..it should be accessible. As Jweel pointed out..Bloombergs take also does nothing to fix the cost structures of our medical system. It..like our college system is broken and in need of direct change.
  12. Damn..and I thought I was on the Spectrum.... Again...because I've read on form that point Bloomberg was using that take as a cost argument.....which is in itself a slippery slope. And yeah..once you start quantifying who gets acess to healthcare based on cost variables like age...then it's easy to slip more variables in the equation. That's what humanity does.
  13. Oh for fucks sake...the disingenuous slippery slope started when the Bloomberg cancer meme was posted. I'm responding to it. Jweel had the right of it That's a morality and cultural issue and we agree, the issue with Bloomberg is he's turning it into a cost issue. That's the sick part, the fact that he's blaming 95 year olds with cancer for increased healthcare costs and that denying care is the best solution. He's prioritizing keeping the current price structure over lives.
