Same as it was on reddit, but slightly more self-righteous about it.

No, I stopped playing Blizzard games.

That's odd, considering the immigration was before the crisis by about a month and a half.

Tell that to all the super users.

So the immigration event was a precurser to the Cuban missile crisis?

Yes, but if they're requiring that you use it, they should be providing the hardware to use it on.

People who drink moderate amounts of wine regularly tend to have higher income, and thus better health in general. At least that's the last generally accepting hypothesis I last saw.

Corrupt governments like capitalistic shitbags.

Yes, but those state and local elections have an effect both on how your state and local area does... as well as how those national elections are held. They are far more important than you give them credit for.

Don't downplay them just because they don't get national coverage, especially when they're going to have significantly more impact on your daily life.

The president sure gets the credit for a lot of things (the president signed this into law, the president enacted this policy) but in reality Congress makes most of that a reality.

There is also accountability... but only if the congress acts on it. Which is where that whole "vote more than once every four years" thing comes in. Congress has power... we just have not elected people who use that power responsibly.

If you think you only get a choice once every four years, that's part of the problem. There's elections every single year, many of which you have more choice and more power over.

Maybe if people showed up to vote more than once every four years we'd actually see some effective change.

Finally my years of learning to play Tongo pay off!
