    - "I never liked that bitch." -- nm - Jovian Jun 11, 12:15
  - Well, that would make more sense. Not sure that it would be easier, though. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 12:10
- Hell of a promise. Does Elizabeth Warren have a plan for that? -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 12:08
- Campaign: won. -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 11, 12:08 2
  - I mean, if it was done with Apollo-level urgency and much more funding, it might happen. Or at least come close. - Beryllium Jun 11, 12:09 1
    - An interesting and tightly related take ... -- (link) - Beryllium Jun 11, 12:11
Microsoft has the Original Six Star Wars Films - Digital Collection for $59 -- (link) - budice Jun 11, 11:52 4
- is that what they pay you to have to watch all 6 again ? -- nm - decline Jun 11, 11:53 3
  - hush -- (edited) - I am shloot! Jun 11, 11:55 2
    - As bad as Ep.1 is, it still has one of the best moments. - Shaun Jun 11, 11:58 1
      - I edited, meant 4-6. But, agreed. And the opening sequence was tight. -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 11, 11:59
fire at Universal in 2008 resulted in the loss of over 500,000 original recordings and masters from Nirvana, Aretha and others -- (link) - Remlik Jun 11, 11:09 3
- :(. And these firms have facilities at Iron Mountain and other places. How the hell. -- nm - budice Jun 11, 11:45 2
  - yeah I don't get that either UNLESS they just didn't want to fork out the money to store it there. -- nm - Remlik Jun 11, 11:49
  - Mistakes were made. -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 11, 11:46
I've been really lax about playing anything on my Switch recently. I'm not sure the E3 announcements are helping. Too many possibilities isn't good - oblique Jun 11, 10:50
Borderlands 3 new trailer from E3 -- (link) - JaxSean Jun 11, 10:19 [youtube] 3
- Time for a new nick. -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 11, 11:11
- Speaking of which, I never finished playing Tales from the Borderlands. A major character actually dies in that. - David Jun 11, 10:25 1
  - I'm playing through TftB (partially into ep 3 now) each night, and started from Level 1 on BL2 last night. - JaxSean Jun 11, 10:55
This E3 has firmly cemented my place in the "I'll wait til it's $20" price point for games I don't feel I need on Day 1. - Shaun Jun 11, 10:07 4
- Game preordering is one concept that I never stopped reading negative experiences about, ever since I first heard about it - con_carne Jun 11, 10:11 3
  - Nintendo sometimes has distribution shortages for physical carts. But the embracing of digital has negated that for the most part. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 11:50
  - It's been fairly overblown, but there are still benefits. - Shaun Jun 11, 10:23 1
    - I pre-ordered the latest expansion pack for FF14. I agree it's not something I do very often. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 10:37
The trailers before Dark Phoenix were top notch. Finally seeing Star Wars on the big, it looked great. New to me were: Ad Astra (my bday movie) and - Spawn Jun 11, 09:41 5
- 21 Bridges (Boseman give a a Denzel vibe) and Stuber were my best -- nm - Amoxy Jun 11, 09:47
- Did you get the new Terminator? I think I had that one also -- nm - oblique Jun 11, 09:43 3
  - Yes. And Calvin & Hobbes. Seems like there were a couple more. -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 09:44 2
    - Wait. There's a Calvin and Hobbes movie? -- nm - JD Jun 11, 09:51 1
      - Heh. FF style -- nm* - oblique Jun 11, 09:53
First MINI service place I call: "We are scheduling for mid-July." Second: "We can get you in Thursday." - Spawn Jun 11, 09:35
Kim just lost her mind. "Nook Inc. presents..." -- nm - David Jun 11, 09:34 10
- Pretty sure that BotW2 will be something like Holiday 2020. They don’t have to build it from scratch. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 09:48 7
  - They kind of admitted that they chose it instead of more DLC. So, I think it probably started that way but expanded. -- nm - David Jun 11, 09:50 1
    - Then again Nintendo’s thing is to rebuild stuff from scratch so... -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 09:52
  - Witcher 3!! -- nm - Shaun Jun 11, 09:48 4
    - I really should play that. I own it. Why haven’t I played it? -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 09:57 3
      - Do you have 100+ hours to spare? -- nm - Shaun Jun 11, 09:57 2
        
        All at once? I wished. I could probably stand to take a break from the Wasteland. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 10:02 1
        
        I also haven't played W3 because I don't think I can handle bothering with a monster 100+ game. I already have Persona 5 that I don't play. -- nm - Shaun Jun 11, 10:03
- (March of 2020) -- nm - David Jun 11, 09:35 1
  - That’s a tough delay. But there was just no way they’d put out Animal Crossing anywhere near Pokemon. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 09:39
Someone challenged Bieber -- (link) - Amoxy Jun 11, 09:30 2
- He literally eats garbage. -- nm - Max Jun 11, 09:37
- Low center of gravity! -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 09:31
Democrats, are you *really* sure that this is the guy? -- (link) - Name Withheld By Request Jun 11, 09:29 54
- Its a transcript from 1973. -- nm - Volnelk Jun 11, 10:58 1
  - Yes, see below. I realized that after the fact and mea culpa'd. (The tweeter seems legit, but he was discussing an older piece.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 11, 12:45
- *terrified* -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 10:37
- No, that’s why we have primaries. Next question? -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jun 11, 09:33
- Biden calls on second female questioner: "She's better looking than you, judge. We'll go to her first." -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 09:32
- He would be Hank Aaron compared to the current POTUS, who makes Chris Davis look competent. - David Jun 11, 09:32 48
  - I just assume that there are other Democrats that would be capable as well. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 11, 09:41 43
    - (And PS, when I questioned Hillary as a no-doubt-about-it choice in 2016, that turned out to be an okay bit of concern.) -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 11, 09:43 32
      - She won the vote despite Russia interfering and Comey flipping the outcome. - David Jun 11, 09:49 3
        
        Oh, I'll be the first to acknowledge I got the Trump take wrong. He threw waaaaaay under my expectations, which weren't all that high to begin with. - Name Withheld By Request Jun 11, 10:54 1
        
        Serious question: who do you think of when you say good company? -- nm - David Jun 11, 12:15
        
        That’s alright about the shotgun stuff. Dick Chaney shot his friend in the face and made him apologize for it. -- nm - Qale Jun 11, 09:51
      - she got 3 million more votes than fakeprez and only "lost" because Putin fixed it. -- nm - mud Jun 11, 09:47 27
        
        Not to be flippant, but that’s not the metric for determining the winner. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 11, 09:56 26
        
        I'm not suggesting using the pop vote, but if one candidate cheats, lies, and colludes w/ foreign powers to win particular states in the electoral .. - mud Jun 11, 11:19 2
        
        The EC is supposed to be a defense against something like Trump. By doing nothing, it proved its own obsolescence. - Beryllium Jun 11, 11:36 1
        
        okay. I'm convinced. I only brought up the 3 million because Hilary was being dissed unfairly. -- nm - mud Jun 11, 11:45
        
        The next time a Democrat's in office, it will become the way. - David Jun 11, 10:00 22
        
        It's going to be fun to see the 1 time this breaks against the D's. Will they change their stance? -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 10:38 10
        
        I've been anti-EC since I was a kid and I was a Republican then -- nm - ty97 Jun 11, 11:13 4
        
        I applaud your consistency. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 11:47 3
        
        My first words were, "Bad EC!". -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 11, 11:49 2
        
        Yeah? Well I'm not even American and the first thing I ever did on purpose was stack two letter blocks together ("EC") and roll my eyes and spit up. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 11:57 1
        
        I am older than you, so mine happened first! -- nm - I am shloot! Jun 11, 11:58
        
        Projecting, much? -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jun 11, 11:00 1
        
        Yeah, I'm a huge flip flopper here. -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 11:47
        
        They shouldn't since true democracy is ideologically sound. The current system is unfairly unbalanced. Some votes count more than others. -- nm - David Jun 11, 10:44 2
        
        I would argue that it's purposefully unbalanced, it's just that the usefulness of the original purpose has passed. -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 11:08
        
        And given the odds of that happening are extremely low, iinm, I’ll take the risk. - Super Daddy Princess Jun 11, 10:56
        
        Are you talking about getting rid of the Electoral College? That would require a constitutional amendment or a constitutional convention. -- nm - Inigo Jun 11, 10:08 9
        
        I wasn't. -- nm - mud Jun 11, 11:13
        
        Google this. You'll find the story fascinating. -- nm - David Jun 11, 10:08 7
        
        I didn’t realize how close it is. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jun 11, 10:16 6
        
        Yeah, and it's picking up steam. I know some conservatives who are in freakout mode about it. - David Jun 11, 10:17 5
        
        I don’t see it happening anytime soon honestly. Having trouble seeing a path to 270 without the Dems making serious inroads in certain state legislatures -- nm* - Super Daddy Princess Jun 11, 10:36
        
        I've seen this before. It's clever, but I think it dies in lawsuit hell before it ever happens. -- nm - Inigo Jun 11, 10:20 3
        
        Since it's the law in several states now, that's unlikely. - David Jun 11, 10:24 2
        
        It's not the same as a constitutional amendment though because changing tides in states can change the laws. It's a clever but very imperfect - pmb Jun 11, 11:07 1
        
        Right, and they're going to have to convince a red/swing to put them over 270. -- (edited) - Inigo Jun 11, 11:11
        
        Just like the way Justin Trudeau promised! -- nm - Shaun Jun 11, 10:01
    - They're all capable in their own ways. The question is whether voters care about capabilities when there's not a disaster requiring smart leadership. -- nm - David Jun 11, 09:42 9
      - I’m hoping that the majority of voters are tired of having a President in every news cycle. That wasn’t the case previously. We’d go days without - Qale Jun 11, 09:54
      - I still think it's going to be a woman despite the early Biden polling advantage. -- nm - Name Withheld By Request Jun 11, 09:43 7
        
        The country's in the best shape possible if Warren wins. She'll get crushed for 4/8 years while affecting real change that improves society. -- nm - David Jun 11, 09:51 6
        
        I’d be okay with that. - Super Daddy Princess Jun 11, 09:53
        
        Ka-ma-la! Ka-ma-la! Ka-ma-la! -- nm - mud Jun 11, 09:52 4
        
        Kim-chee! Kim-chee! Kim-chee! -- nm - Strongbad Jun 11, 12:07
        
        One of my bottom three candidates. Her crime enforcement record is vile. -- nm - David Jun 11, 09:53 2
        
        I havent seen anything vile in her record. -- nm - mud Jun 11, 11:22 1
        
        Google around. She has all the signs of a corrupt politician. -- nm - David Jun 11, 12:14
  - Lets hold him to account for what he said in 1973! -- nm - Spawn Jun 11, 09:33 3
    - Oh shit. My honest-to-Pete apologies on that. I didn't realize the quote was from the 70's. After the thing on the weekend, I thought it was... - Name Withheld By Request Jun 11, 09:46 1
      - Lol -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jun 11, 09:48
    - "Oh no, our achilles heel - wanting our candidate to be perfect!" -- nm - Beryllium Jun 11, 09:44
"You're aware that the Earth is under inter-dimensional attack." - David Jun 11, 09:28
Denzel is 64, Arnold is 71, Stallone is 72. Not only is that dude from B2 bad at math, he's worse at googling. -- nm - Inigo Jun 11, 09:28
"Sources: Warriors believe KD has torn Achilles" - David Jun 11, 09:26 9
- He'll just take the Player Option of $30M next year from his Warriors contract and sit out with the injury -- nm - budice Jun 11, 10:23 1
  - $31.5m to be exact from what I've read. and yes I agree. -- nm - Beaker Jun 11, 11:35
- Durant agent must be pissed -- nm - Amoxy Jun 11, 09:32 1
  - Durant needs to leave social media. He cares too much what other people think, and it pushed him into this situation. -- nm - David Jun 11, 09:36
- that's terrible -- nm - decline Jun 11, 09:31
- ... he is questionable for Thursday. -- nm - Hoodie Jun 11, 09:29
- I saw a tweet last night that showed his calf in slow motion when it popped. The calf rippled very visibly. -- nm - Shaun Jun 11, 09:28 2
  - Yeah, I've seen that, too. It's gruesome. -- nm - David Jun 11, 09:29
  - Found one. -- (link*) - Shaun Jun 11, 09:29
fine, I will eat another mini whoopie pie. -- nm - amanda Jun 11, 09:24
I’m going to be so happy when I can get this splint off of my wrist tomorrow. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jun 11, 09:16 2

  - I’m good. -- nm - Super Daddy Princess Jun 11, 09:22
