I was moved from my cubicle due to the mold. I'm in a co-worker's cubicle who is out until next week. - sycor Aug 11, 08:31
LIR: ML: There may have been impression of that early on, but it seems NMS as a lot of NPC life both fauna, animal, as well as NPCs you interact with - oblique Aug 11, 08:24 8
- it wasn't an impression, it was straight from the mouth of the creators--so they must have ditched that concept - ML Aug 11, 08:30 7
  - wait, that's not right -- nm* - decline Aug 11, 08:35
  - Perhaps I should clarify. From a "lifeform" standpoint, that seems true. Plants, animals, etc. do seem to be in those ratios from what I've seen BUT - oblique Aug 11, 08:32 5
    - (Though those are only from 4 races, so it's not like sentient life evolved on a lot of planets.) -- nm - Ender Aug 11, 08:37 1
      - No. It is "foreign" NPCs but they're everywhere -- nm - oblique Aug 11, 08:39
    - so 90% of the planets are completely devoid of life? - ML Aug 11, 08:34 2
      - Nah, I don't think I've come across a single planet that didn't have some form of animal life. -- nm - Ender Aug 11, 08:38
      - It does seem to me that fauna seems more prevalent but I won't actually get to play until tomorrow. -- nm - oblique Aug 11, 08:37
ty97, Trump says polls are "tightening up," and the Clinton campaign is "getting a little bit nervous." -- (link) - decline Aug 11, 08:18 6

    - There it is. Just stick it in my veins! -- nm* - Reagen Aug 11, 08:37

      - I mean if you want me to killfile you, you just have to ask. -- nm - iSpam Aug 11, 08:37

  - yeah, my answer too. I am fan - until the roles where he's obviously paying off tax liens - Epiphany Aug 11, 08:33
  - Correct. -- nm - Shaun Aug 11, 08:19
I'm not going to click this article link because they don't deserve the click. You shouldn't either. But this tweet about this article. UGH. -- (link) - ty97 Aug 11, 08:14 2

I had a significant communication breakdown in explaining the new Oreo flavour to my wife - Reagen Aug 11, 08:12 1

Who's tougher? Water polo players or hockey players? -- nm - Max Aug 11, 08:04 8
- If you've ever seen an underwater camera shot of what's going on under water, you'd say water polo. -- nm - jnine Aug 11, 08:11
- lol - just had this debate with my friend John ... but water polo vs wrestlers - who he think are the fittest of the athletes -- nm - JenBro Aug 11, 08:07 4
  - Fittest = male gymnasts imo. - Will Hunting Aug 11, 08:15 1
    - There's too many different definitons of "fit". Gymnasts have explosive power. Endurance is not a real factor. Water polo players are treading - pmb Aug 11, 08:43
  - After watching the male gymnasts on the rings they have to be in the running. Those guys are in sick shape as well as the swimmers. - Krusty Aug 11, 08:15
  - while probably not the fittest athletes, the skill set I wish I had would be that of a high level Modern Pentathlon athlete -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 08:10

- trying to control horses in water is tougher than most people realize -- nm - crash davis Aug 11, 08:06

  - It's on Spotify and their website. Although they may all be linked to fb. -- (link*) - jnine Aug 11, 08:18
Olympic golf spoiler. - Volnelk Aug 11, 08:01 1
- Do you get a special medal for that? -- nm - LMS Aug 11, 08:16
does Clark Kent become Superman, or does Superman become Clark Kent? -- (link) - gerald Aug 11, 07:57 5
- Just when you think he's as boring as possible... - Shaun Aug 11, 08:17
- He's Superman disguised as Clark Kent to fit in on an alien planet. Although, he'll never be Batman, so he's not important. -- nm - jnine Aug 11, 08:13
- In a phone booth, superman sheds his secret identity. - Beryllium Aug 11, 08:04
- Well, Kal El becomes Clark Kent who becomes Superman. So the former is more true than the latter. - TWuG Aug 11, 08:00
- Bill would definitely say the latter. -- nm - KuBaron and the Two STrings Aug 11, 07:58
Presidential candidates leading polls at this point in the campaign have almost always won - ty97 Aug 11, 07:56 13
- I really wish we could just get it over with and induct Hillary now. -- nm - JenBro Aug 11, 08:08 1
  - You misspelled "indict." :) -- nm - KuBaron and the Two STrings Aug 11, 08:09

  - Only because you can picture yourself making this exact post -- nm - ty97 Aug 11, 08:04 1
    - [deleted]
- I'm really wondering what the debates are going to look like -- nm - decline Aug 11, 07:57 7
  - I think they would be more helpful for him. I know it's not the cw, but he has great energy and is quick with a sarcastic reply. They don't talk long - jnine Aug 11, 08:17 2
    - I think they are too. The bar is set so unbelievably low for him, that if he doesn't take a dump on the stage people will be impressed with how he - pmb Aug 11, 08:46
    - i think it will be a totally different dynamic from the primaries. and the moderators are going to be extra primed to pin him down on answers -- nm - gerald Aug 11, 08:40
  - what debates - ML Aug 11, 07:59 2
    - He'll have to and it'll be either the most boring thing possible as they both ignore the other person - Will Hunting Aug 11, 08:17
    - I would probably put my money on this too if I had too - ty97 Aug 11, 08:03
  - I expect him to weasel out of them. Then I expect Hillary to call him a chicken from then through election day. -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 07:58
so, here it is. The Rob Ford crack smoking video. Released at last. -- (link) - Andie Aug 11, 07:53 3
- Who is talking trash about Justin Theroux?? bastards! I can see crack smoking but I can't play the new green day son? travesty - Epiphany Aug 11, 08:13 2
  - (Trudeau, not Theroux) -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 08:28
  - No Justice. -- nm - Diva Aug 11, 08:15
Well this is going well -- (link) - ty97 Aug 11, 07:52 3
- I like that one Trump staffer was like, "Oh, yeah. He did that to me, too." -- nm - Inigo Aug 11, 07:58
- by the end of the election season - Trump really is going to shoot someone in the street -- nm - Epiphany Aug 11, 07:54 1
  - And, like the joker, it will be meaningless to him. -- nm - Beryllium Aug 11, 08:45
All kidding aside, I'm really disappointed in Obama. - David Aug 11, 07:51 8
- With all his resources as President, he should have them controlling the entire middle east by now. #ISISFail -- nm - jnine Aug 11, 09:11
- I'm a little more sympathetic. I mean, did we really give him any other choice? -- nm - prayformojo Aug 11, 07:56
- i'm pretty surprised we are just learning about it now. #conspiracytheory #mediacontrol #BarackHUSSEIN -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 07:56
- "Do I hear a motion to accept the organization's credo?" "Oh god, Obama! Enough with the Robert's Rules! When do we blow stuff up?!" -- nm - Max Aug 11, 07:55 1
  - "You're out of order!" "No, you're out of order! And out of the group! Nobody's going to speak the name of 'Obama' in Syria ever again!" -- nm - Max Aug 11, 07:57

The saddest part of Suicide Squad being a shitty movie is that more than a few people have a tattoo to remind them of their involment -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 07:50 4
- there are plenty of people who do like the movie. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:51 2
  - There are plenty of people who like Trump. -- nm - TWuG Aug 11, 07:57 1
    - stop that! -- nm - Epiphany Aug 11, 08:15
- Except WIll Smith. Genius. -- nm - Will Hunting Aug 11, 07:51
Boy, it sure is nice to know that if you get raped in this country and actually have the guts to stand up, face your attacker and relive every single - Jim Aug 11, 07:50 13
- Everyone should have the strength of Ivanka to just say no and then get up and leave. -- nm - Max Aug 11, 08:03 1
  - WWID? -- nm - Andie Aug 11, 08:06
- but, he feels really really bad about doing it! -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 07:52
- Seriously. I don't like mandatory sentencing to suggest it but this just isn't right. -- nm* - Krusty Aug 11, 07:52 9
  - You can't have both--either mandatory sentencing, or judges get discretion at some level. - ML Aug 11, 07:56 8
    - you know, if the judges have the problem of what will happen to them in jail - maybe we need to build ONE jail - strictly for kid rapists - JenBro Aug 11, 08:04 6
      - yes, we called that Australia - ML Aug 11, 08:13 1
        
        good point ... maybe just relocate the current populations ... I don't know - I just want the judge to put them behind bars - JenBro Aug 11, 08:31
      - (and by "kid rapists" - I mean the offender being young - like these drunk college kids using "poor judgement") - JenBro Aug 11, 08:06 3
        
        put all the rapists in the same prison so they can all rape each other all the time. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 08:07 2
        
        not serial rapists ... although maybe there really isn't a difference -- nm - JenBro Aug 11, 08:09 1
        
        I tend to think if you rape once, you will rape again. -- nm - groiny Aug 11, 08:12
    - I know and that's what I wrestle with for some crimes. I do prefer judges have the discretion in sentencing but when we watch rapists walk out of - Krusty Aug 11, 08:02
There was something odd about that father/daughter McDonald's ad that I couldn't put my finger on. And then it hit me: - con_carne Aug 11, 07:49
I have to say I'd much rather it be that Malia was smoking a joint than a cigarette. -- nm - Krusty Aug 11, 07:49 2
- [deleted] 1
  - Right. If I had a kid the talk would be on the harm it does to the brain and body. I'd mention it being illegal but that's not going to stop them. - Krusty Aug 11, 07:57
Big fan of Team Canada's golf hats. -- nm - Volnelk Aug 11, 07:44
"The city's green measure has backfired, however, as citizens are using the tickets made from hemp to light up in front of the police." -- nm - Max Aug 11, 07:41 1

#BB18... Yeesh, Paulie went straight up sociopath overnight. -- nm - Ender Aug 11, 07:38 4
- ohhh what happened?? I know he has been running that house like its no ones business. -- nm - Jovian Aug 11, 07:49 3
  - *spoils* - Ender Aug 11, 07:59 2
    - He has all kinds of issues because he was dumped and I think cheated on right before he went into the house. He's also a control freak. -- nm - jnine Aug 11, 08:03
    - *spoils* - Ender Aug 11, 08:02
