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)

Hey guys

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.

Another thing about the 7 countries Trump has chosen for his immigration ban.

Isn't it interesting that Saudi Arabia isn't on that list of 7...?

15 of the September 11th attackers were Saudis. The leaked emails from Hillary Clinton show that the US knew that Saudi Arabia has funded and armed ISIS, and more than 2,000 Saudi fighters are known to be in ISIS.

But Saudi Arabia gets a free pass on Donald Trump's Muslim immigration ban.

Could it be because Trump has extensive business interests in Saudi Arabia? Yes, yes it could.

The Saudis are US allies, they do oil deals with you.

The US knew and allowed the Saudis support the creation of ISIS, the plan was to overthrow the (pro-Iranian/Russian) Assad regime - and call it another 'Arab Spring' event.

The new Sunni/pro-Saudi/pro-US government would allow A pipeline to be built through Syria (to Turkey, a NATO member) and oppose the alternative Iranian pipeline (through Iraq and Syria to the mediterranian).

The fact that ISIS turned out to be rabbidly anti-American lead to a problem. A public preception problem, which orevented the UK parliment from bombing Assad (and Obama quickly followed the British on this) and when it was clear that Assad could hang on, and Russia could move in without fear of US involvement, the Russians moved to end the Opposition. Strengthening ties to anti-American Syria and Iran in the process.

All told a total failure of US policy. The Saudis also got a little bit too much when ISIS turned out to be too difficult to keep on the leash... And their funding may have dried up...

Can you imagine having indefinite legal permission to live in the USA, and making careful arrangements to leave the USA to visit your family in the country of your birth and then *legally* return to the USA.... and then to be locked out of the USA on your return because the law has changed in the week you were away, because people like ND think you are a criminal?

Fucked.
Up.

That's what that is... and it's what is currently happening to people. Trumpist xenophobia is ruining the lives of individuals who have done nothing wrong - except to make the mistake of believing that America was a land of justice and fairness.

INA: ACT 202 (a)(1)(A)

"Except as specifically provided in paragraph (2) and in sections 101(a)(27) , 201(b)(2)(A)(i) , and 203, no person shall receive any preference or priority or be discriminated against in the issuance of an immigrant visa because of the person's race, sex, nationality, place of birth, or place of residence."

Lethologica (203 D)
28 Jan 17 UTC
For the record:
-paragraph (2) pertains to the maximum number of visas that can be allotted to any single state or dependent area;
-section 101(a)(27) grants 'special immigrant' status to certain kinds of immigrants, who receive priority;
-section 201(b)(2)(A)(i) pertains to immediate relatives of US citizens
-section 203 pertains to prioritizing immigrants by employment/job creation

So none of the exceptions have anything to do with allowing discrimination against certain nationalities in the issuance of an immigrant visa.
