I finally figured out what this whole Draftkings / Fanduel thing reminds me of. Girls Gone Wild. - Qale Nov 16, 08:30 1
- Yeah, but no discount codes for the Girls. -- nm - budice Nov 16, 08:34
"The other thing I have to do, is some cardio." -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 08:30
Awesome. The GF thinks she might have picked up bedbugs from the cabin her family was staying in this past weekend. -- nm - sycor Nov 16, 08:28 6
- ugh. bedbugs are the worst -- nm - znufrii Nov 16, 08:38
- Ugh. I hate dealing with them. We had an executive move out of a place after residing there three years. - Spawn Nov 16, 08:31 2
  - Yeah I'm really hoping she is over reacting and maybe got bit by something else. I really don't want to have to deal with it. - sycor Nov 16, 08:36
  - ugh. -- nm - Pippy Nov 16, 08:33
- are the bites in groups of threes? can she see the actual bugs? she can heat treat her luggage and articles of clothing - Pippy Nov 16, 08:30 1
  - She didn't notice the bites until this morning. I dunno what they look like. Of course she brought all of the luggage and clothing inside when she - sycor Nov 16, 08:31
ST poll based on the russina airlines bomb and the paris attacks are you more worried about another attack on the U.S now or the same this also - eag Nov 16, 08:17 48
- slightly more concerned about an attack. - Mel Profit Nov 16, 08:43
- Slightly more. The DC earthquake spooked me at that moment, but then we have weird still like this morning's barricade - Max Nov 16, 08:38
- about the same which is almost nil -- nm - CQ Nov 16, 08:33
- No. In fact, I think it reinforces that terrorists are struggling to get a foothold in North America. - David Nov 16, 08:27 8
  - you had to throw that in the IM, didn't you? -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:28 7
    - It's 100% true. -- nm - David Nov 16, 08:31 5
      - I am a gun owner, am I a terrorist? - groiny Nov 16, 08:34 2
        
        I don't know. Have you shot up a movie theater? - David Nov 16, 08:43 1
        
        We get it. You want all guns banned. period. I respect your right to your opinion -- nm - Pippy Nov 16, 09:07
      - I feel slighted some how when its " gun owners" - like all of us? all of us are terrorists? seems like a catch all -- nm - Pippy Nov 16, 08:32 1
        
        No, just like some that are not legal gun owners use guns to kill. - Spawn Nov 16, 08:33
    - [deleted]
- [deleted] 8
  - Maybe I'm naive, but I don't find myself more worried. I assume terrorists are always trying to attack us. - ty97 Nov 16, 08:29 7
    - This is exactly how I feel about it. And I don't want us to overreact in response to it. -- nm - pmb Nov 16, 08:30 6
      - [deleted] 5
        
        That's where my concerns lays as well. Our overreactions to date have helped to drive some folks to groups like ISIS. - ty97 Nov 16, 08:33
        
        the potential spiral and vigilante reactions to refugees and Muslims scares me far more. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:32 3

        I'm sure you heard, but someone firebombed a mosque in Peterborough - Reagen Nov 16, 08:33 1
        
        oh, i heard. Peterborough is pretty close really. In a bit more positive news, donations have poured in to rebuild. - Andie Nov 16, 08:34
- Same. -- nm - JaxSean Nov 16, 08:24
- The same. Not worried much at all. - TWuG Nov 16, 08:21 6
  - well, yeah, but more spread out over the whole country. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:25 5
    - Violent death in groups is less acceptable? -- nm - TWuG Nov 16, 08:29 2
      - that is what you are really saying in your post, is it not? -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:32 1
        
        Americans react like it is. We could save as many lives every two days as were lost in Paris if we took gun violence as seriously as we take our - TWuG Nov 16, 08:44
    - If the goal is to protect Americans, that shouldn't matter. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:26 1
      - Diluted death! -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 08:27
- no -- nm - decline Nov 16, 08:21
- I am far more worried about yet another overreaction to (horrible but) isolated events. - ty97 Nov 16, 08:21 1
  - Plus -- nm - Article 5 Nov 16, 08:22
- yes - but I'm naturally paranoid. Someone the office said ISIS did say US was next - Pippy Nov 16, 08:20 2
  - yes, ISIS posted something about attacking DC next. -- nm - decline Nov 16, 08:22
  - I am sure they did. - Spawn Nov 16, 08:21
- the same -- nm - amoxy Nov 16, 08:20
- I don't worry about attacks, but I think the likelihood of one has increased. -- nm - pmb Nov 16, 08:20
- no -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 08:19
- Same - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:19
- The same. Maybe less. We already had an attack in Canada, and we were kind of "meh" about it. -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 08:19 5
  - we didn't have large scale loss of life, that would make a huge difference, but - Andie Nov 16, 08:20 4
    - True, but the attack was basically on Canada's congress ... America would've lost their shit (no offended intended) -- nm - Beryllium Nov 16, 08:22 3
      - Yeah, even a year later, I can't decide if I find that blasé nature towards it stoic or lacking seriousness. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Nov 16, 08:32 2
        
        It's to do with the attack not really being organized/coordinated. - Roger More Nov 16, 08:41
        
        is it any different than the asshole wandering around Moncton killing cops? -- nm - Reagen Nov 16, 08:35
- no. - znufrii Nov 16, 08:19 1
  - Good point -- nm - eag Nov 16, 08:20
- the same. -- nm - Andie Nov 16, 08:18
I wasn't planning on watching, but Into the Badlands wasn't bad. Bish -- nm - prayformojo Nov 16, 08:04 2
- I tried to give it a go. Effin stoooopid -- nm - CQ Nov 16, 08:05
- *noted* DVRing to see what people think first. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 08:05
I really like Obama. - David Nov 16, 08:03 8
- I often wonder what the perception of him as a president would be if he were white. nm -- nm - groiny Nov 16, 08:23 5
  - I think some perceptions of him - aloof, too philosophical, too wishy-washy would remain... - Roger More Nov 16, 08:29 2
    - The "he's coming to take our guns" line would still exist. He's a Democrat. -- nm - Will Hunting Nov 16, 08:29 1
      - It would be limited though. Obama and white, male, working/middle class, rural/Southern voters have never really connected - Roger More Nov 16, 08:34
  - Clayton Bigsby (Chappelle Show) -- (link*) - budice Nov 16, 08:28 [youtube]
  - His approval rating would be close to 60%, most likely. - Inigo Nov 16, 08:25
- I watched a presser recently...went on for 2 hours. He chatted with all. -- nm - budice Nov 16, 08:08
- President Obama said "ISIL continues to shrink" in an interview just hours before the horrible attack in Paris. He is just so bad! CHANGE. -- nm - The Donald Nov 16, 08:05
Update: My air filters throughout the house have been replaced with new ones. Carry on with your local programming. -- nm - CQ Nov 16, 07:56 2

  - The classroom used by graphic design and character animation students at the California Institute of the Arts. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 07:58

  - I did not encounter one year one weapon in 3 days. and I had some red bar opponents, but overall not awful. - groiny Nov 16, 07:58
- imo, it makes it playable even for people who struggle at PvP. In the absolute worst case, you'd get 1 300+ piece of gear just by playing. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:49 10
  - For going the distance with one character I got 305 gauntlets and 310 Truth. Plus a bunch of Leg Marks, of course. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 07:54 6
    - I got all 3 up to the gold tier package. Best score was a 310 Hawkmoon, but also got 7 or so other 300+ items. -- nm - Shaun Nov 16, 07:58 5
      - Nice. I had a meeting Saturday morning so I only got the one to the top. A second one I only got up to the marks level. -- nm - Spawn Nov 16, 08:03 4

    - The pure fact that Donald effing Trump might be the GOP POTUS candidate is such a effing joke. - Shaun Nov 16, 07:46 12

        good point -- nm - Pippy Nov 16, 07:55
        
        fair point - but at least that was just a stupid city, not a country. and it was friggin' unbelievable. -- nm* - Andie Nov 16, 07:53 3
