Philosophy, Religion & Society / Do you support expanding the Supreme Court?

« on: January 13, 2021, 05:43:09 AM »

I've heard Democratic talk of expanding the Supreme Court.

Now I know the Court has been expanded before, but I'm not really familiar with arguments favoring it. I'm pretty ambivalent towards the issue.

What are y'all's thoughts?

Philosophy, Religion & Society / Why Americans Got Corona Krane-Kicked

« on: January 04, 2021, 11:41:38 AM »

It isn't entirely strange that Americans have been hit the hardest by COVID.

Sure, we somehow managed to politicize and weaponize a public health crisis, but anyways.

I'm not exactly surprised that, in a nation of fat, lazy office workers with shit diets, we got hit the hardest.

Sure, sure -- Sweden got to stay open, but they don't have double bacon cheeseburgers with donuts for buns. (What they do have are more bike paths.)

Thoughts?

The Lounge / Facial hair?

« on: December 07, 2020, 04:22:54 PM »

I rocked a full beard for a few years, but then went clean shaven for quarantine (i.e. instead of growing my 'Rona Beard, I got 'Rona Smooth).

Now I rock a goatee 'cause masks are irritating and I feel that the mask works better without all the hair.

How about y'all?

The Lounge / Rabinoz Memorial

Pretty self-explanatory.

This is a memorial thread for Rabinoz, a long-time member and contributor to the FES forum who very recently and unexpectedly passed away.

Post your favorite quotes of his. Share your favorite memories of him. Do as you see fit and think fondly on him.

Arts & Entertainment / Star Wars: Knights of the Old Republic II: The Sith Lords

« on: July 03, 2020, 01:47:06 PM »

Any other KOTOR II fans?

It's such a great game. It's a single-player, RPG-style game -- think D&D with a SW skin -- that takes the classic SW mythos and deconstructs them in a really unique, dark sort of way.

It might be 15 years old, but I may or may not have spent a couple of hours today modding the crap out of it for yet another playthrough.

The Lounge / Getting Healthy

« on: March 17, 2020, 11:15:20 AM »

Anyone else been on a health kick the last few months?

Back in November, I was a 200 pound smoker who ate fast food nearly every day. Now, I'm a pretty tall guy, so the 200 pounds didn't look too bad on me, but it did look bad. The smoking and fast food was just bad.

Since then, I'm down 35 pounds, quit smoking, and only eat fast food once or twice a week now. I've been getting better sleep, really watching what I eat, drinking plenty of water, working out and exercising, the whole shebang.

I feel and look a lot better, which is probably good I've gotten a lot healthier given the global pandemic and whatnot. Anyone else gotten their shit together a bit semi-recently?

The Lounge / How Do You Take Your Coffee?

I haven't had my coffee.  Plus when does the devil need to have proper grammar.

I take mine black.
