How come ambassador Austria or Czech Rebublic is cheaper than godforsaken South Africa??

I'm gonna guess it's because it's easier for an ambassador to enrich him or herself in South Africa than Austria.

Love the leaks about hacking the Gibson with the Wiccans and tarot cards, that stuff actually works and if you just socialize the trade timing regulations at exchanges and market makers more transparently and regulated then every1 can scam each other using memes and poo poo instead of robots wow

I genuinely think that if the unironic Trump bros of GBS and the die-hard Clintonites of D&D/C-SPAM devoted significant time to arguing with each other instead of just sniping at each other from the safety of their respective subforums they'd both come out of it as more well-balanced individuals and learn about a lot life, philosophy, ethics, and what it truly means to debate and discuss something

so what I'm saying is take it to D&D, OP

I'm serious though :colbert:

Talking about politics in either place when your opinion is in the minority is loving intolerable and if they got used to the idea of talking to people who actually disagree with them on fundamental ideas, I could get away with disagreeing with them on tiny superficial points without getting dogpiled into the ground by zealots furiously fending off a strawman

Conversing with those that are ignorant toward any view but their own and view differing opinions as a character flaw is not enjoyable or constructive.

That's why they were afraid of releasing their medical records at the same time, it would be plain to see: Same height, same weight, same T-levels. They're the same.

that's what I'm saying

Talking to people who actually disagree with them on fundamental questions would teach them some perspective

If you only ever talk to people who fundamentally agree with you, your only disagreements will be over who is *~purer~* and you'll polarize and end up a parody of yourself. You see it on Tumblr and you see it on Freep. Gotta mix it up if you want to stay grounded.

An escaped Hillary clone becomes self aware and tries to usurp the original. The original Hillary's body is rapidly degrading while waiting for another clone to finish maturing.

The weirdest thing about this election is that I understand the opposing side better than my own. Sure, I think they're wrong and/or insane but I get the Trump enthusiasm. I will never understand how anyone could be enthusiastic about Hillary Clinton in anything but I just want the world to not explode sort of sense.

My question is how do we trade in this reality for Marty McFly's version with flying cars and jaws holograms?

It's funny because Trump is basically Biff Tannen

and from what I can tell, the way they manage it is by (a) being really old and thus not on the Internet or (b) getting really defensive and circling the wagons at every whisper of dissent

No one seems to really be talking about it, because maybe it's unlikely both on the Clinton side and Trump side or maybe because Bill and Donald Eiffel towered a 13 year old. The world may never know.
