Any predictions about Lada Gaga and the Superbowl?
Who wants to guess if she's going to go all Byonce and get political during the halftime show?

My guess: In the middle of her song, she'll start advocating for PPSC and announce an engagement to Krellin.

Heckling Feature Request
It's fun to observe games, but would be even more fun if there was a sideboard to heckle and commentate on games by people who aren't actually part of the game. This would be particularly interesting for those games among top players.

Iran announces it is abandoning the US dollar
http://theantimedia.org/iran-ditched-dollar-us-matters/

This could be the start of A) war with Iran (though they will come up with other excuses to sell it to the public) or B) a collapse in the value of the US dollar - which could result in many other countries abandoning it as a reserve currency (which is a threat to national security, hence A)

Was Jesus a Vampire?
I was curious, if Jesus was a vampire, like most scholars now assume; was he malkavian, ventrue, brujah, toreador, nosferatu or tremere?

Hey guys
I am redhouse, I used to play and debate here. I might play and debate again. But I have another question: Who knows a lot about C++? I may have some questions that seem trivial to those who know.

How does muting work?
I've never muted someone in a game before. Therefore, I am quite ignorant about how it works. Clearly if player A is muted by player B, B won't receive any messages from A while they're muted. What happens when B unmutes A? Do all the messages A sent to B while B had A muted suddenly appear, or are they lost forever?

New game Classic
Just went to a FTF tourney. Was fun. Want to play some more classic using the standard tourney rules (except of course 1 Day turns instead of 12 minutes).

Set it at 101d to filter for more reliable players. If that's too steep but you like the rest, chime in here, and I will make a new one with lower bet.

It's odd how every four years hundreds of thousands if not millions of dead people rise from the grave to vote for whoever the (D) on the ticket is. Trump will launch a full investigation of it. Finally we have someone who will stand up to these people and end the fraud and corruption.

I am excited to see what Trump does tomorrow!!

This isn't about Trump's psyche. He's banking on everybody who dislikes him thinking that it is, because it's much less sinister than the truth. If he can actually get away with doing his "investigation", he'll inevitably "find" that he's right, regardless of the truth, as that's what he does with everything. From there it will serve as a rallying point for his people and an excuse for him to start oppressing the votes of people he disagrees with, and from there we're at the point of a good, old-fashioned dictatorship.

Luckily, it very likely won't work. Congressional Republicans, flawed and willing to work with him as they are, should be able and willing to stop this in its tracks. It's important that the rest of us don't just sit around pretending he's just a buffoon in a big office though. He's gonna keep trying shit like this, and our complacency is the best shot it has at working.
ND (879 D)

ghug's post (above) is a classic example of a slippery slope argument.

Case in point. He says that his investigation will find he is right, be a rallying call for 'his' people (whatever that means), which will lead to him oppressing people, which will lead to a good-old fashion dictatorship.

So we go from an executive branch investigation to a "old-fashioned dictatorship." This is just ridiculous ghug.

I am confident that ghug's side of the political spectrum is petrified that Trump's investigation will prove that he is right (and by extension that I am right) that there is massive fraud in this country being perpetrated by the left.

The worst case scenario of voter suppression would entail people who LEGALLY registered to vote and had ID not being allowed to vote because they "weren't on the list." Kind of like in Oklahoma :)

What we need is a national voter ID law and a receipt system so that when you vote the election official receives a receipt of your vote with your ID number and you keep one as well.

I was exit polling on Election Day. It was actually quite disheartening seeing all those upset Americans who showed up to the precinct that was on their registration only to be turned away and given a card with a number to call that would send them to another precinct which would also turn them away.
ND (879 D)
26 Jan 17 UTC
That sounds odd TrPrado, but if people were registered to vote and had an ID then they should have been permitted to vote. Although I don't know the specifics of Oklahoma state law. Still, if there was fraud committed then it should be investigated. When President Trump initiates the investigation you should send in your testimony so it can be examined in more detail.
