The anti-vaccine Trump voter I talked with on Facebook a little while ago has just quit her job due to overwhelming despair
She is upset because she is also a Muslim Republican who didn't think Trump would ever really target the Muslim community
it turns out politicians try to do the things they said they would
It is kind of funny seeing peoples reactions to this. Say what you like about Trump and his use of "alternative facts" but he didn't lie about this. He was 100% up front about what his intentions were and a number of the American public large enough to win an election cheered and voted for it. He's simply following up on a campaign pledge people voted for.
An appalling, counter productive, will in all likelihood be judged by history to be a huge mistake, campaign pledge.
it's been...disheartening seeing the response from some of my conservative family
I mean, I married a conservative and republican but it turns out not everyone has the same convictions about what transcends political allegiances I guess
There are some pretty huge differences between conservatives, yeah. Sorry to hear your family's got their head in the sand.
This era, in America and everywhere else, is going to be a case study in how easily perception of reality can now be manipulated
gooey you could exert a little self-control and not look up what the consequences are for your actions ahead of time
what if the consequences are really bad and unpredictable though
what if it becomes effectively impossible to get the best weapon in the game if you've opened any of three unmarked treasure chests, all in plain sight and scattered throughout the world
i think my favorite approach to making choices in game was the way telltale did it in twd
just like a qte, snap decision thing
otherwise i am going to go find a game guide and mull over a decision for 15 minutes and what kind of ending i want to have
just make me decide
live in the now
It helps that nothing is really gated by choosing 'wrong'. You still get to finish the game, and all the achievements are just for playing all the way through.
What else could "an exercise in self-control" mean?

Clemens August von Bogen - Hochmeister of the Teutonic Order
Konrad [III] von Calw - Landmeister of the Livonian Order
18, November 1473
Negotiations between the two Baltic Orders has fallen through over the ownership of the Province of Mitau. Landmeister Konrad the Third (of the von Calw family) has refused the offer of Hochmeister Clemens August (of the von Bogen family) of allowing the Province of Mitau a greater amount of autonomy and joint control over the territory with the Teutonic Knights. A further offer of granting the Livonian Order the privilege of collecting the taxes of the peoples of the province was also rejected. War again looks certain between the two Baltic Holy Orders with the Livonian Order demanding the return of the Province of Goldingen multiple times during the negotiations. Goldingen and it's constituent townships was forcefully taken by the Teutonic Order in the Teutonic-Livonian War of 1465-67 after reports emerged of corruption among the local officials of the Livonian Order based in Goldingen which resulted in a significant amount of the population turning away from the Catholic faith.
This reporter wonders if the Polish-Lithuanian Commonwealth will attempt to influence the outcome of this seemingly unavoidable conflict.

Yea, I wonder if he had done this is a way that wasn't incredibly inept if he would be getting as much backlash. Clearly announce ahead of time to avoid the issue with those in transit, maybe actually brief the agencies that were going to enforce this shit, ya know, demonstrated some competence.

On the one hand I try to force myself to make decisions that way anyway
On the other, you never know when a video game decision involves arbitrary or bizarre ideas from the developer that might produce totally unexpected results

I've only seen reactions re: the muslim ban along typical party lines.
I'd -love- to see horrified republicans.
Not to see them in pain, but to see that they exist.
Well, quite frankly I'd love to see horrified white republicans.
Horrified minority republicans aren't the base and are always the first into the bonfire
Your region is less likely to have these people in large numbers, I'd imagine, but given the sheer volume of people protesting I'm sure many have been Republican voters in the past
Hell I'd have loved to see Mr Constitution Scalia reacting to this shit
Elki would it be cool if I linked to your Instagram post or just copy pasted it or something
This is not at all a way to stalk you through social media and slowly stroke your handsome face on the screen and think about how we would dance together, don't worry
I am actually dancing in the profile picture of my hardly used account. Fancy that.

1. depends on example. historically gamers seem to get upset when things they thought would give them happy endings don't, but i think that's fine
2. obviously dumb and also not what i was talking about
Shameful pursuits and utterly stupid opinions

the silver lining of the muslim ban is that maybe things did need to get this bad to stoke up enough outrage that a man who got nearly two million less votes than his opponent gets to pull this shit because the political will to enact electoral reform to a representative system doesn't exist
western liberals have been far too complacent for the last decade
i think we need a guy like Trump to show us what happens when we assume we've won all the battles

Hrm, that can't be right, everyone says politicians lie and don't do what they say.
Oh wait that's not how anything works, right.
Far far too subtle.
