This is kind of where I'm coming from. I'm not a regular listener of his so my views may be outdated. I just think a lot of malice is dumped on him that I don't think is necessarily fair. That being said, he is a public figure so being dumb only gets you so far as an excuse.

I also like long form stuff, and I like to talk to people who know things, so at least in an ideal sense I'm positive on his format. B

πŸ˜‚ for the timeshare conference

I'd have to look at those claims to know if that's actually true. It may be, but media/internet hyperbole is so overplayed I'd wager it isn't actually true. Like I said though. I don't know about that specific instance.

The thing is, if the FBI hadn't framed so many Muslims in the US, during the war on terror or fascilitated the Whitmer kidnapping, maybe claims like that wouldn't gain traction as easily.

Seems to me a lot of people here pretty hostile to Joe. I can only say he has been more than open and interacted with good faith with guests that I listen to than anyone in "media". His talk with Bernie Sanders and his agreement with certain aspects of Sanders agenda should dismiss the claim that he's a libertarian shill. I try to approach him as a topic in good faith as well.

He's being called a neandertal because he seems to agree with a lot of fringe opinions. I try to think of how I would react if talking to a person who I have no idea about their area of expertise and how I would deal with claims that they make. Sure he gives a voice to cranks, but he also gives voice to people across the spectrum, some that I actually want other people to hear from. That's kind of what free speech is about right there.

Came in to go to bed and I saw this article. I saw 3 separate shooting stars tonight and had no idea there was something happening. So cool, and so lucky I was outside tonight.

Strangely LD seems to me to be THE MOST CATCHY Star Trek theme. Every time I hear it it's playing in my head for the next 24 hours. Not saying it's the best, it's great, but goddamn does it burrow its way into my brain

Really great stuff OP. I love stuff that's repetitive, but builds in intensity as it goes. Really great. Thanks for sharing

Wait, is Jimmy Dore not a Lefty? I'm not up on my youtube politics scene beyond breaking points. What's the deal with Jimmy Dore?

The links don't seem to be functional.

 

It's decided. The title's mine, forever and always. Let the LI wars begin😁

I would think that, even despite the remaster, whatever computers you have that are reasonably powerful would be fine. ME3 came out in 2012, which is the most recent of the trilogy. Give it a go on your laptop, if that doesn't work out get an older video card for one of your better desktops and see if that works out. Without the authority of a PC gamer, I'd be surprised if you had any issues.

edit it's interesting that it was compared to Babylon 5. Never would have thought of it myself, but I'm really not mad at the comparison.

Hey, thanks for making this community. I always loved the conversations to be had on reddit. Hopefully we can have our own here!

Thanks for posting this. My wife and I would have waited until Thursday to watch it if I hadn't seen this here.
