- was just about to post. yea she softened it bit. but I still take this as a doubling down. right? -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 11:22 4

      - That's great...but horrifying. -- nm - David Sep 10, 11:39 1

Vudu help. I added about 30 dvd's to the disc-to-digital page. Downloaded the vudu to go software, and they don't show up - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:23 15
- Let's be a bit more specific. - David Sep 10, 10:28 14
  - Maybe I'm doing an old workaround. - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:31 13
    - To the best of my knowledge, that no longer works. - David Sep 10, 10:33 12
      - blerg. I didn't want to pay $5 (or even $2.50) for each movie that I already own to convert to hdx. - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:36 11
        
        You could place an order here. -- (link) - David Sep 10, 10:40 8
        
        Sidenote: do you have any idea why I can't see J's library? - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:51 2
        
        I'm starting to think you have general library issues. You should contact UVVU support. -- nm - David Sep 10, 11:40 1
        
        (Don't mention his account is Canadian, though.) -- nm - David Sep 10, 11:40
        
        It says $2.50 when you do 10+ - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:50 4
        
        It's a dollar a disc for me. I'm not sure exactly what you're doing wrong, though. -- nm - David Sep 10, 11:29
        
        So after all this - it apparently still does work. I had just decided to put them all in as SD, but, because I added them as BluRay, are coming up HDX - JaxSean Sep 10, 11:28 2
        
        Okay, I see now. The $1 deal doesn't trigger until 10 items are in your cart. -- nm - David Sep 10, 11:29 1
        
        I'm also going through adding them all as SD. But they're showing up as HDX, since I chose bluray in the webpage to build my list. -- nm - JaxSean Sep 10, 11:35

I don't see how calling out racists for racisting is unpresidential. - ty97 Sep 10, 10:23 37
- Heh -- (link) - Beryllium Sep 10, 11:16 1
  - *ding* -- nm - znufrii, dad. Sep 10, 11:17
- She even gave them the and/or way out. You don't have to be racist to hate Muslims, gays or even women. In America, you are free to hate/fear -- (edited) - GregW Sep 10, 10:38
- She didn't call out racists. She called out half of the 40-45% of the voting public supporting him. - Will Hunting Sep 10, 10:35 22
  - So, she was off by about 50%? - the wrong element, bad guy Sep 10, 13:43
  - She did call out the racists, and she did it very cleverly by giving people who take exception to being lumped in with racists an out. -- (edited) - znufrii, dad. Sep 10, 10:54 2
    - I worry a little that the intended audience won't read that far. -- nm - Roger More Sep 10, 10:58 1
      - sure, but that's not the point Will is trying to make. -- (edited) - znufrii, dad. Sep 10, 11:01
  - I'm not a supporter of either (though I'll vote for Hillary), but I honestly can't fathom why anyone would actually *support* Trump. - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:42 4
    - Dude, stop demonizing Americans! -- nm - con_carne Sep 10, 11:03
    - every single person I know in my personal life that is voting for Trump, is racist. -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 10:52 2
      - The cunfuzzling one I know is my daughter's friend's dad. - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:57
      - *with a handful of exceptions -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 10:53
  - so she won't be getting votes she was never going to get. oh well -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 10:38 9
    - You just solidified them voting. Those are lost votes. - Will Hunting Sep 10, 10:41 8
      - She was never going to get these votes. -- nm - Diva Sep 10, 10:47 2
        
        She didn't need to get them. She just reinforced him getting them. - Will Hunting Sep 10, 10:49 1
        
        It's never a bad thing when people tell racists that they're racist because racism is bad. - Diva Sep 10, 10:54
      - I honestly think this is why she didn't do any press conferences for so long. - JaxSean Sep 10, 10:45 1
        
        Unless this was secretly recorded like Mitt's speech, she absolutely intended for this comment to go public -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 10:48
      - They were already lost no matter what she said -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 10:44 2
        
        But solidifying their odds of voting is a valid worry -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 10:47 1
        
        I've seen a black man elected twice. I'm cautious, but I'm not afraid of these people. - Diva Sep 10, 10:52
  - their Trump support was always guarenteed -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 10:37 2
    - If I call you a racist, are you more or less likely to want to beat me? - Will Hunting Sep 10, 10:44 1
      - I think those people are coming out to vote no matter what is said about them. They're already motivated. - Roger More Sep 10, 10:51
- jenbro's Tiny Asian Woman was in fact *asian*! -- nm - shaolin fantastic Sep 10, 10:35 1
  - Butt what about the rest of her comments? -- nm - Bacon Sep 10, 10:37
- Exactly. She would be remiss if she didn't say anything about the racisting. - Diva Sep 10, 10:32
- the problem now is, instead of doubling down on it. she's going to reel it in. -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 10:30 4
  - "Hillary Clinton's campaign is standing by politically incendiary comments she made" - David Sep 10, 10:31 3
    - but the news reports makes it sound like she's apologizing and backing down, when for once she should double down - zeitgeist Sep 10, 11:29 1
      - Then they suck. -- nm - Diva Sep 10, 11:33
    - good. she definitely shouldnt. -- nm - Jovian Sep 10, 10:36
- It's another instance where she gets treated grotesquely unfairly. - David Sep 10, 10:29 1
  - yep. she tells the truth and is held to another standard. -- nm* - Diva Sep 10, 10:44
- What I've been wondering lately is if neonazis should rebrand as "master racists" ... -- nm - Beryllium Sep 10, 10:28
I feel like these announcers want Liverpool to win. -- nm - Diva Sep 10, 10:13
