  1. I have fond memories of Mortal Kombat. From playing it at a local pizzeria in SW Austin as a young kid to missing the school bus cause I wanted to play the next round on my Genesis to seeing the first movie and being blown away by the soundtrack. So glad they revisited this in a better way than other spin offs. So excited.

    That was a weird typo on my part.  I guess what I was trying to say is that I'm still using the titles conservative and liberal for people with some intelligence.  I know there are at least couple of intelligent conservatives out there because I know them personally. I was trying to get across that if you are "guided" by Fox or Rachel Maddow, you're not going to come across as very intelligent. 

    It's not really a both sides argument.  It's simply an idea that if your purged al the Fox morons you probably would be left with a few actual conservatives, maybe even one with a conscience.

    Can anyone even describe the conservative ideology anymore?

    No, I don't. In fact I said up thread that there was no equivalent to QAnon. As far as contrasting the two items you mention, one was the disinformation work product of a former foreign intelligence operative working under contract to a political national committee, disseminated in a very calculated way through components of the government, investigative agencies, and ultimately the public. The other a totally insane conspiracy theory started on 4chan with adherents consisting of a bunch of lunatics with broken brains.

    Yet you consistently bring the dossier up during your performance art. At this point you may be the only user on this forum who mentions it once it became vetted and everyone understood more about it.

    Today's shooting resides here in Texas

    https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/08/us/bryan-texas-shooting/index.html

    Police in Bryan, Texas, are searching for a suspect after six people were injured during a shooting at an industrial park on Thursday afternoon, according to Lt. Jason James of the Bryan Police Department.

     

    The victims were taken to a local hospital, but James could not speak to the extent of their injuries in a brief interview with CNN Thursday afternoon. He could not say whether all the victims had suffered gunshot wounds.

     

  5. They really do have the worst update rollouts I've seen since PUBG. On XBOX and it kicks me out of starts of games every 4th game, along with all the other things mentioned above.

    But what of the 3rd one, Lobo?

    Easy. You can want/need a police system while still holding them accountable for their actions and ensuring they are providing the service that they were created for in a non-discriminatory way (you know, the whole "defund the police" thing). At the same time, understanding that some of their militarization and paranoia of the populace is due to the fear of being shot by that highly armed populace. A populace where just about anyone can buy a gun designed for military uses.

    So, as a left leaning lib, I would like to see the police be held accountable for their actions, scope down what they are called out for, increase funds for other resources to assist in situations that police are typically called out for and shouldn't be, and also increase regulation so that those who are not responsible enough to own a gun, can't (registrations, forced gun safety courses, etc).
