Choke me daddy. Oh wait, this isnt the NSFW thread. I'm sorry, but I am at work, and laughed at this way harder than I should have.

Halloween
Pretty much the same. Only addition would probably be the beer or fireball/apple cider that my wife makes that will be in my hands while doing so. Halloween is my birthday, and the one day of the year I will drink however much I feel like and not care.

Presidential Debates
Hillary don't do that, tRump did. Tell me something, do you actually like Donald, or is your support for him based on your hatred of Clinton? If you do like Donald, what appeals to you about him? Its ironic that I have actually seen the exact opposite in my state. Almost all of New York state has Trump signs wherever you go. I literally can count on one hand the number of Hillary signs I have seen out of people's front lawns in the past 6 months. But none of Upstate matters because whichever way NYC votes decides Presidential and State Governor elections. I have really come to hate that NYC chooses how life is run for the entire rest of New York. Pitaki was governor, but he lost NYC. Indeed, he won 3 times. Now look at these maps, which technically don't matter because the Governor Race is by popular vote, but it does give an indication for what the regions of the state want. 1994: Pataki won pretty much everything but NYC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_gubernatorial_election,_1994#/media/File:NewYorkGubernatorial1994.svg 1998: Pataki won everything but NYC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_gubernatorial_election,_1998#/media/File:NewYorkGubernatorial1998.svg 2002: Once again won everything but NYC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_York_gubernatorial_election,_2002#/media/File:NewYorkGubernatorial2002.svg Now look at this map of the 2014 Governor Election. Seems like almost all of NY wanted a Republican Governor, but yet we ended up with Cuomo. Out of 62 counties, only 16 voted for Cuomo but yet he still won. Hardly seems representative of all New Yorkers considering NYC is practically a different state. Different taxes, different laws, entirely different culture and politics. https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/4/4d/New_York_Governor_Election_Results_by_County%2C_2014.svg You think it was Gerrymandered? No, gerrymandering can only exist in a Electoral System. Governor races are almost always done by Popular Vote. The point I am trying to make is that NYC metropolitan comprises about 64% of the state's population while 40% reside within in New York City. Yet they represent such a small fraction of New York State's land mass/sphere of influence. That incredibly tiny landmass largely decides politics effecting the entire rest of the state. Something that many Upstate New York residences are not happy about. Taken from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Demographics_of_New_York The same thing happens in my home state of California. Such a large state, and it's totally ruled by Los Angeles and San Francisco. There are ongoing efforts to break California up into 6 states, because most of California is largely unrepresented in state legislature. California turned so fucking blue with regulation, liberal stupidity, and sanctuary cities, I had to move out almost 20 years ago to keep my family safe. Now the blue disease is creeping too much into Las Vegas, because the ever increasing cost of living in California drives them here... but they bring their stupid politics with them. Pretty sure I'll end up in Utah soon, hanging on to the Constitution with the Mormons. Things are truly going to hell. This actually happens across the US. I saw a map recently of the US, where it showed how the individual counties of the states leaned. By the land mass, it was heavily red for Republican. The blue areas for the Democrats were typically the cities. The point the author of the article was trying to make was that the more urban areas, which are much more densely populated, tend to lean Democrat, while the more rural areas tend to lean Republican. Author made a statement to the effect of, if you looked at the map, and didn't think of population density, you'd think the Democrat party was a tiny party. This wasn't the article, but it has similar images: https://www.quora.com/U-S-Political-Parties-Should-the-United-States-be-split-into-two-countries-one-for-Democrats-and-one-for-Republicans

Presidential Debates
If I remember correctly, this general topic was discussed in relation to her email server. I don't remember specifics, but I think it was in relation to drone attacks (a specific one, maybe?). Hilary had someone tell her what she did was a violation of her clearance in that specific instance, and her defense was essentially, it was published in the papers, so we thought it wasn't classified anymore since everyone was talking about it. Now I'm going to have to go do some internet searching to find that, and refresh my memory.

I just saw these allegations about voter fraud this morning (other than what Trump has said with no proof). This isn't the article I saw this morning (can't find it now), but did a quick Google news search to get this one: http://www.indystar.com/story/news/2016/10/18/state-alleges-more-voter-fraud-names-and-birth-dates-changed-on-forms/92365268/ Essentially, the TLDR is, the Indiana Secretary of State is getting calls from voters that voted in the primaries, saying their first name or date of birth has been changed, and it supposedly wasn't them. She sent it to state police, who are investigating, and somehow (didn't see how they were tied in), a super pac called Patriot Majority USA was tied in with this in the article. No charges at this time, as state police are investigating, but there was a comment from the state police to the effect of numerous documents for the changes appear to be signed by the same person. The issue didn't make sense to me, because the article I read this morning said the people would still be able to vote. I don't know if the reporter got his quote wrong, or if Indiana will really let people vote if their info is wrong. Based on the article I linked here, sounds like the secretary of state is walking back her initial claims of fraud, but Patriot Majority is somehow still involved.

I have no idea what you just said. I read it as, each one is saying things that certain groups of people in the US think privately, but don't speak out loud, and even more rarely, actually act on.

Scott Adams has an interesting take today on his blog. Essentially, he says that because we have access to so much more information on candidates, we'll get to know our candidates better and be more likely to hate them. Came across a website by the Americans for Tax Reform (they state that they are anti tax hike for anyone). Website is http://www.hightaxhillary.com/. I haven't had a chance to look through the site, to see if the info is factual, but thought I would put it out there. From the little I've seen, the website is pro-Trump, but I haven't seen if it's because of his policies (ie, being objective in their limited scope) or if they're just pro-Trump/anti-Hilary (ie, putting information out support one or damage the other based on personal beliefs). I haven't had a chance to look and see if there is similar criticism of Trump.

Tattoos
These were the only two pieces of advice I would have given from my one tat. Also, to expand a little on King H's coments about pain, it depends on where it is exactly on your body. Some areas will hurt more than other places. I found this one out when I got mine on the back of my shoulder. Any place there was some level of fat, not a big problem. Not much fat, directly on top of bone, that starts to hurt. Listen to your body while getting the tat. I found out what adrenaline does to your system while getting mine. I essentially went into a fight or flight mode (first tat, didn't know what I was getting into), artist is going along, and the room got really hot (I mean, I was sweating, it was so hot). Made a comment about turning the heat down, the artist goes something like "I wondered when you were going to say something." Looked at my then girlfriend, now wife, said "his blood sugar is dropping from all of the adrenaline he's got in his system, if you go get him a coke, he'll be fine and we can keep going." She grabbed a pop for me, artist stopped long enough for me to drink it, and everything was fine. Finished up with no more problems.
