      - *ringydingy* -- (link) - Reagen Aug 9, 10:51
  - It sounds like, from B2, that you are admonishing ST for not being pissed at the "Black Lives Matter" group or for calling out Sanders for - TWuG Aug 9, 10:14 7
    - And it's more that we've apparently in the past said that Republicans are jerks for not ceding the stage, though I can't for the life of me think when - Reagen Aug 9, 10:16 1

    - I'm sure Valve kicked in some as they're stupid rich, and it's also I believe funded by in game purchases. - Tim Aug 9, 10:40 1
