I'm surprised you typed out words instead of posting a video to do your work for you.

if i listed all the arguments made in that 70 minutes video illustrating how shapiro is a hack and a grifter, who has large parts of the right fooled into thinking he's an 'intellectual' by talking fast and spewing random factoids out of context to create demonstrably false narratives, you'd do exactly the same: call me a name and ignore the substance.

so it's easier to just post the video, on the off chance there are right wingers who are intelligent, curious, and open-minded enough to consider arguments and information from outside their bubble - you know, the very thing shapiro and his fellow pied pipers cry about all the time.

you made your position clear, and that's perfectly fine of course, all i'm saying is that it's a bit cringy to now act like anything could change your mind.

👏👏👏👍

Orange cone bad

shapiro generally is ok. he provides relevant legal precedent, etc.

but the past few days he's overfocussed on the dem race to ignore several issues with Trump. he mentions them but u can feel how he's not going into depth as fan service. he does this a lot.

but he also fits into the category, much like Jon Stewart, Limbaugh, Hannity, etc. of people who are opinion show hosts that get taken by some fans as legitimate news. there's nothing wrong with watching these guys for entertainment, Shapiro is pretty funny.

I’ve thought about making a PaRD general discussion for like 3 years now but never have. A place to talk sports, D2 etc without having to go to the gutter that is GC

I’d still like to do a PaRD walk through on D2

Do people still do walkthroughs of new d2 patches?

Oh yeah, there’s even a sub-forum here for it. The total number of WT’s has tapered off over the years, but people still get really into it.

People do all types of unique WT’s to make it difficult. Weapon shield sin, fire arrow zon, only using rares/magic items, etc. I remember 1 guy did a WT on hardcore earlier this year, with the parameters that ...I think he had to get a unique from every single “super unique” monster in the game before he could progress past them, starting with the zombie dude in the den of evil. Dude did thousands of runs, it was crazy.

+ from someone who spent years only doing pvp with the same godly gear...actually playing through the game & only using what you find was actually really refreshing & enjoyable.

I did a Sorc 1 last year but it was on an old laptop that rip’d so I never finished it

the small pvm community on jsp is actually really cool. its kind of insulated like PARD.

I installed Plugy and have a holy grail sorceress going. Found quite a few rare drops but once you have less than 100 drops left the grind is just sooo long.

Currently not gaming much anymore, other than starting up Civ 5 every couple of weeks.
