  1. That would make an awesome mod.......
  2. 128 GB thumb drives will be on the market in the next couple weeks....... That's bigger than two out of three of my harddrives.....
  3. We are not in control of anything..you are getting sleepy..very sleepy... :whistling: Ya know.... bed IS sounding pretty good about now.......... :D
  4. He never really did contribute anything of value. Ever. Why can't we bring back the time honored tradition of tarring and feathering people who abuse their public position to spout lies, sentiments of treason (unfounded claims about the President), or create a climate of chaos, ignorance, and fear? Then we could remove those people who make a living from this crap on both sides and just try to get on with our lives. Mainly because we would be tarring and feathering most of the population of DC. Oil companies would like it..... initially at least. :D I'm not sure what the problem is... Maybe environmental? Drawing and quartering instead perhaps? You'll only need to televise one or two before the rest decide to make amends. I was thinking flaying alive.... or maybe, pulled apart by four elephants? Tossed into a tank of piranha? Gators? Rabid Red Wings fans???
  5. Something IS happening behind our backs. It's also right out in front of us for everyone to see, but, no one will believe it, because the media tells us it isn't true. The rich and powerful are (have) taking (taken) over the world, to make very sure that they STAY in control
  6. You're dating yourself ya know....... :D

  8. I don't see things like twitter, or facebook.... as "advances" really....... :)
  9. There hasn't been a major scientific achievement for quite some time. The government is only doing research on weapons, and exploration has fallen by the wayside. (space exploration is responsible for quite a few tech breakthrus....) If automotive technology had advanced as quickly as computers, we would be driving 200 MPH, and getting 100MPG while doing so...... Greed has taken over, and the mentality of "what will make me the most money RIGHT NOW." Long term planning is gone. Long term consequences are ignored. It's all about getting rich now, and staying that way......
  10. Ok, if they show up, they are in the right spot, and they should work as advertised. :D
  11. Game installed to the default folder? (somewhere in program files)
  12. Script error, running any mods?
  13. Do they show up in your mod list in wrye, or OBMM?
  14. Boots, berets, and sub-machine guns? Ok, I'd be down for that........ :D

    Bullying

    I think we're talking about the same thing here, just not quite in the "same dimension," if you will. People should indeed stand up to bullies, since god-knows the school system won't do it. Parents will try to help, but of course, they need to go through the school system first (that or the media, but that usually just brings more trouble than it's worth). Self defense and sticking up for someone is how humanity should work; unfortunately people tend to care about themselves first, and others last. What I'm getting at here, is that one should not actively seek out vengeance. When your head gets clouded with emotions such as anger and the revenge (I know, I know; it sounds like I'm quoting Star Wars), you make irrational decisions. When you make irrational decisions, those around you can very easily get hurt. The "Jedism" talk aside, if you want to stand up for an ideal, stand up for it; don't lunge for it. Reason for edit: The "P" in "parents" wasn't capitalized, and it was bugging the crap out of me. Yeah, I think you and I are on the same page. :D

    Bullying

    That's all about personality. I had always thought that part of the martial arts training was self-discipline..... seems that part didn't stick with your friend. I know folks that have stood up to bullys, even though they were not the ones being bullied..... they did not 'turn to the dark side' as it were..... vigilantism certainly isn't the best option, but, sometimes, that is all your are left with. In my experience, the bullies have more rights to get away with what they are doing, than school authorities do to stop/prevent it. There are also those in the schools that simply choose to ignore it, as THEY are not the ones with the problem.... and it is 'too much trouble' to actually DO something. Not to mention its getting legally dangerous to do so. (and has been for the last decade or so.....)
  17. I think the whole "the party of No" moniker is pretty common knowledge. Not to mention the the many rumors of republican obstructionism, simply to prevent ANYTHING from happening, that Obama could potentially use as campaign material. He has zero foreign policy 'victories', in fact, he fell flat on his face there as well. Bowing to various heads of state, apologizing for some perceived wrong to others... etc. Quite frankly, as a 'head of state', he really doesn't make much of an attempt to portray himself as the leader of the worlds most powerful nation..... (well, militarily at least....) Of course, the dems really aren't any better. They sure aren't going to let the republicans pass anything either. Giving them any campaign material would be 'bad' from their perspective as well. So, whatta we get? A do-nothing government. The only things that actually pass are those things that are absolutely required to keep the government going, without pissing off EVERYONE in BOTH constituencies. Not to mention the stuff that goes thru with very little fanfare, as everyone in washington is well aware that the american people would be unhappy if they knew what was really going on. (Free trade agreements with Columbia, Panama, and S. Korea, for example......) At this point in time, the american people are so divided, and KEPT THAT WAY by the folks in washington, that I am amazed anything at all happens. We cannot continue in this manner for long, before the pressure is going to burst the dam. At that point, it is going to be too late for 'appeasement', or 'cooperation', and life is going to become really interesting, really quickly. Both sides are entrenched in their positions, seem to be fully convinced that their course is the ONLY course, and the other guys are loony tunes for believing anything else. No one will cooperate, no one will compromise. There are no solutions, only more problems.

    Bullying

    So, in a way, you were actively (and knowingly) participating in a form of bullying. Not that they didn't get what they deserved, it just seems that "an eye for an eye" is not the right thing to to in a situation like that. As for being bullied... I've taken martial arts since I was 8 years old, which helped me practice self-discipline. If someone was making fun of me (or "verbal bullying"), I would sit there for a minute, analyze what they said, and either respond as if it were a normal conversation, or just looked at them until they went away. In high school, a prominent bully from middle school came up to me one day, and I was expecting a long drawn-out stare-down, but he actually walked up to me and apologized for being a jerk all those years ago. I always find it really odd to see someone you know visibly mature over the years. It's nice, but odd, nonetheless. Good grief... I feel old. :ohdear: Reason for edit: Grammatical error fixed Why not? Seems perfectly reasonable to me. If the bully is well aware that there is indeed someone out there watching out for his/her potential victims, and has demonstrated that bullying is not acceptable, and can bring on unpleasant consequences, to the point it deters the behavior, where is the problem? Kinda like training your dog NOT to do something..... the whole "If I do X, then "something bad" happens."... If you want to avoid the something bad, don't do X behavior. Simple. Call it deterrence.... or aversion therapy. And, I wouldn't go an eye for an eye, I think it would be more like an eye, an arm, and a leg, for an eye.
  19. That's definitely an option, and in most cases, a good idea.... for the dlc though, shouldn't be an issue. They don't overwrite anything. :D Hi!! Been doing halfway decent at least, hope life is treatin' ya good as well. :teehee:
  20. The secret cabal is made up of the folks with the naked power and money. :D
  21. "His continuing attempt to a be a Uniter"..dear god so that is what you all someone who pits one sector of the population against the other? This campaign bears no resemblance to a unification theme, largely due to the fact that his ACTUAL record is something that he can't run on. Vice President Biden "They don't get us", no we don't get you Joe...you having been living off the taxpayer dime your entire life as career politician and who by the way has a million dollar home in my state..not his. This country of roughly 350 Million has over 3 million people whose net worth exceeds a million, out of that roughly 44% inherited it the other 56% EARNED it. These filthy capitalists pay 40% of the taxes whereas almost 49% of the great unwashed pay NOTHING. The level of BS in this campaign requires even higher hip waders than usual. President Barack Obama and first lady Michelle Obama hold assets worth between nearly $2.6 million and nearly $8.3 million, according to financial disclosure reports released by the White House. Us versus them? To quote Pogo "We have met the enemy and they are us", to say that the administration's campaign is disingenuous is an understatement. (Tax stats from Forbes) Sounds just like any other political campaign to me...... :D Yep, I have millions, but, I understand the "little guy" line is getting truly old. Romney was born to wealth, made a pile of cash as a corporate raider, (and yes, I will grant, he DID do some good things as well....) and has absolutely no idea what most americans are having to struggle with just to make ends meet. Of course, that story is EXACTLY the same for ANY presidential candidate....... No wonder the middle class is disappearing so quickly.
  22. Better not be a hoody, neighborhood watch will get you.

    Bullying

    I had a run in with a bully at one point.... but, I was not who he thought I was, and got a rather rude surprise.
  24. Oh great..the Prezinator...now I am looking more benignly at Sky Net. :wallbash: If you are carving notches into your monitor, or any other suitable place, for the number of times you have caused me to have to clean my screen.... Time to carve another one. :D
  25. Have you tried switching bloom for HDR, or vice versa?
