This is from Obama's speech when he announced his presidency: And even when talking about the ethics bill he sponsored and helped get passed: Now, I know that he also made clear that we're the change we were waiting for, that we must take responsibility to make change and not just the government. But he clearly was talking about sweeping changes and an audacity to overcome the cynics and naysayers to do what needs to be done.

Obama was attacked for having the most liberal voting record in the Senate. He was also to the left on flag burning and the legality of it. Obama's full quote isn't as dismissive as the snippet suggests. However, I don't think "Yes we can, but," is what he was thinking when he first recited that phrase.

I still remember this great little exchange I had with one of my best friends who was a huge Chrono Trigger fan and talked to me while I played it for the first time. I forget the name of some of the creatures in this game, but there was this shop where the shopkeeper thing charges you an obscene, unaffordable amount of money for everything. I messaged my friend, "Dude, wtf, this guy is charging, like, a million dollars for every item, what a ripoff! Why's he charging so much?" and he goes, "Then fix it." "Uh... sure, dude." He never elaborated what he meant by fix it. But I eventually fixed it. Then I learned that anything wrong in the world can be made right.

Let's try compromising from the left, eh? We already tried, "Voting for the Iraq War with a frowny face," as a compromise.

Yeah, I wish I had that experience. From what I understand, OKCupid was bought by Match, so maybe they just want to drive people to the stuff you have to pay for. Which would be SHOCKING!

Oh, you bet. The thing with sending messages whenever is that someone may have otherwise skipped past you, or never encountered you on their search, but could like your message and consider it better than some of the other weird shit they see. When I used it before meeting my current g/f, it didn't last long since I was no longer having conversations with anyone. For many people now, they'll get a notification that someone messaged them but they'll have to scroll through a list of people in hopes that they see the message, which is really just an added paragraph on their bio. Plus, the way it works now, the other person has to actively use the app. You could send a message to someone who wasn't swiping a ton and get noticed. It just removed what made it unique.

OKCupid used to be good, but they changed the messaging system and made it shitty. You can no longer directly message someone as there's no inbox, and if someone does send you a "message," you'll only see it if you come across them while swiping, which removed its uniqueness. I actually had success with Bumble if you're interested in using apps.

Half-Life, 3 days until the VR gameplay reveal

Mina Chang resigned Monday, 6 days after an NBC News report about her resume inflation and hours after NBC asked her about newly discovered false claims.

It literally serves as a touchpad and two separate buttons. In Bloodborne, you can access two different inventories using the left and right part of the touchpad. Aiming in something like Astro Bot is more fun with the touchpad. And it's in a more convenient position to do things like access maps than the old Select button.

Touchpad's great.

Weirdly, the Squad voted yes.

Iowa's an interesting state because it can fuck things up royally for leading candidates (Giuliani, Romney in 2008, Clinton in 2008, Dean and Gephardt in 2004).

Politico, DNC at odds over Democratic debate moderator

Just found it.

Great, now I have to reach the transcript of this speech to see wtf this is about.

Anyway, apparently this is a Chrono Cross thread I made.

Well, it's more that she's the only one left. But Bea Arthur was one hell of a talent!

I could be wrong But I feel Bojack Horseman's going to age very well. I've been watching it a lot, and it's pretty forward-looking to mental illness, how many people have it, and its description of it. And the bad shit.... is fucking bad.

So here's a story you may enjoy: In 8th grade, we were playing this game in band class where the band director would play some piece of music on the stereo system and two teams tried to be the first to guess what show or movie it was from. At that point in my life, I had watched Golden Girls with no pretense as to what demographics usually watched it. So he starts playing a song, and the minute I heard, "Thank you for being..." I went, "Ooo, ooo, Golden Girls!" There was silence in the room, everyone slowly turned to me, and then at least half the class started laughing at me. While this was happening, a girl in my section sincerely said, "It's okay! I watch it, too!" and I felt even weirder. Apparently, it was "gay" at the time to watch it as a boy. =\ She came up to me after class and we both agreed that when you watched it, it really wasn't that bad of a show. And considering how many dudes think Betty White is awesome, I consider that moment one of my finer ones.

It was an odd comparison. It wasn't that I disliked it; it's that much of the game felt really standard in its battle themes and music. When that thread existed, everyone talked up the soundtrack, but I felt it was nowhere near as memorable as other praised 90s RPGs like FF6 or 7 in the soundtrack department. On its own, it did its job. But the minute I hear the Arni theme for CC, I just knew I was in for something special. Besides, I don't mind being in the minority of people who thought CT was aight. You think Seinfeld is lame, and you're in the minority, but you're your own person and can like or dislike anything you want!
