💯 This is why I finally got fed up with the green party. Where they ran local candidates they actually won and made real impact (I lived in Richmond, California where Gayle Mclaughlin was on city council and then a 2 term mayor!) But the focus on national elections that they could never win given fptp, and the subservience of the California GP to the national party annoyed me enough to switch to no party preference.

My wife and I also met on there. Like 99% match (which in hindsight is funny, our personality types and such are very different but quite complementary, however our core beliefs and interests are very similar). I had 2 kids from a previous girlfriend, she had 1 (which makes dating really hard in the SF bay area esp in your 20s, people here often dont have kids until their 40s). 11 years later we've been married for 5 and probably happier than ever.

I was recently at the airport in Amsterdam, going from San Francisco to Berlin. The EU passports line (like always) was non existent while the non EU line was nearly an hour long. I almost missed my flight (and my checked bag did) but it was totally worth it to see all the pissed off Brits complaining about having to wait.

1985 here, I'd place it with Clinton neoliberalism personally (the left sold out, and the right totally lost their minds as Rush Limbaugh's proteges started showing up on cable news)

I swore off after ultima online, summer 99 and thankfully never picked up WoW. Then only very very casual console gaming into the millennium and nothing else until 5 or so years back when I started playing multi-player Civ V with group of friends. Now I probably have played more hours of Civ V than any game since Diablo 1 but I'm also 40 and have 3 kids lol. Time is a circle apparently.

And if Trump loses ol Joe says we should move on to heal the country and gives Trump a reach-around just to show he means it, no malarkey.

I can't tell if this is a serious comment or if you are just trolling the lyrics to Country Roads

Those bumper stickers are bullshit. Musk was a nut job who profited from apartheid and then bought his way into the public mind as some kind of low rent Tony Stark from the get. San Francisco 2012 people thought I was nuts for claiming he was a huge charlatan and now those same people rock those bumper stickers.

This regulation (and similar being proposed in California) would not be applied retroactively.

Right this seems like an always encourage type of scenario
