Penny Arcade was popular enough that Tyco from the comic got a cameo as a character in one of the Poker Night at the Inventory games, the first one. I never really liked him and found everything he says cringe-inducing.

A good AI is when you use it as a tool, which by all accounts, is what it is at the end of the day.

A bad AI is when it is used to violate copyrights and be treated as a solve-all solution to problems where AI wouldn't be needed in at all.

Wrestlemania XIX

It was a near-perfect Wrestlemania that had a variety of matches. The only things I felt that this event could've gone without was the Miller Girls cat fight and maybe Undertaker vs Big Show/A-Train (could've given Undertaker a better opponent). The Brock Lesnar botch of course is what a lot of people tie this WM to which is something I wish didn't happen.

Otherwise, you had Stone Cold vs Rock III (where nobody knew at the time that it would be Stone Cold's retirement), Vince vs Hulk Hogan (at the time it was a good build), Lesnar vs Angle and HBK vs Y2J are some of the highlights of the event.

Yes, you'd be right and I don't like anyone who boasts, gloats and brags about their pirating activities. We're all pirating for a varied assortment of reasons, personal or spite or logical, but it comes down to the fact that we're getting stuff for free and saves us tons of money. So, we all should universally be in glee about that alone. However, being louder about it, increases risks and chances of our sources being taken from us before we know it.

A lot of great sources of pirating has been taken from us over the past 5 years, sources we'd never thought would be taken down (before anyone says The Pirate Bay, that site has long lost its purpose, its symbolism now.) Sometimes it isn't because people were loud, it is just because of the network of government bodies being in bed with entertainment industries and law enforcement that are really throwing everything at the wall to take down piracy in general.

But sometimes, they wouldn't have targeted anything if the loud-mouths would shut up.

Maybe you shouldn't have welcomed Draft Kings with open arms?

Sports has suffered because of gambling droolers for too long.

“We’ve spent the past year listening closely to consumers, and they’ve told us they’re feeling the strain,” said Rachel Ferdinando, CEO of PepsiCo Foods U.S. “Lowering the suggested retail price reflects our commitment to help reduce the pressure where we can. Because people shouldn’t have to choose between great taste and staying within their budget.”

Um, you forced them to do that, you tone-deaf son of a bitch.

It has to be in phases, most importantly, it has to be consistent.

First President-Elect after Shitstain, would have to spend their entire first year, rolling back what they're capable. They'd have to figure a way to permanently codify long-debated issues to settle the score 'once and for all' so that nobody, not even Congress or the Supreme Court or themselves, can ever roll it back. It would have to be a series of votes and passes to make it this way. Once it's done, it's done, no take-backs.

Second year in, they would spend that time prosecuting, chasing and holding accountable, all and any traitors to the country from government to other branches. America should be about weeding out the traitors.

Third year in, they can spend that year, trying to remedy fractured allies that Shitstain ruined. America should still be America first, after all, there's a lot of work to be done to fix itself, but it should also be lenient to the globe as well.

Fourth year in, campaign time and see and hope that they remain.

Regardless of any scenario, it's still down to the people to even get someone who is like this and to keep up supporting and voting people like this. We are always one general election cycle away from all of the effort being undone because people are intentionally ill-informed and that gullible to buy into manufactured lies.
