Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

Re: Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

Why wouldnt it be true? It is no different than the Jon Oliver extension that changes "Trump" to "Drumpf". (which I havent turned off cause it makes me laugh) Some people choose to see things differently and in the case of the "alt-right" they would prefer not to see that BS new name for it. (not me)

Google had nothing to do with that. It was an app on their browser that you have to download and install.

Differently?
Shouldn't that be "consistently" or "narrowly", through a single paradigm?


And do you turn it off when you go to those pinochle and bridge sites you frequent? Or are clubs drumpf and the bid is 3 no drumpf? :D

I suppose I can see, as a gag, the John Oliver bit. But honestly I don't get the "alt-right/white supremacy" thing, unless it's some masochistic mechanism for making sure a person continues to work up enough bile whenever they read about the alt-right.

Even my dad doesnt play those games and he is OLD! I can honestly say I have never played either! (used to play Hearts though back in the day and Euchre)

But if I read this correctly, if you download this extension onto your computer, every time something on Google or twitter or facebook or the like would read "alt-right", this program would change it so that you, or anyone using your computer, would see the phrase "white supremacy" instead? Meanwhile, for everyone else who hasn't loaded this onto their computer, it still reads "alt-right?"

That can't be correct, is it? If so, that has to be the stupidest thing I've ever heard. Who would do that to their own computer? What, you don't trust yourself to remember that alt-right groups are in many instances white supremacist groups?

Is there some sort of perverse sexual pleasure people get from having their computers make this change for them?

You have obviously never used the Mister T-enator.

Didn't most of you use it to change Trump to Rex Imperator? :)

You have to learn pinochle growing up in ND. And whist. Forced into bridge by my lunch crowd while living out east.

Never got into Hearts. Never learned Euchre; learned the modified (corrupted?) version called 500.
 
Re: Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

Sheepshead. When I was 19, I won $1100 in a 20-hour Thanksgiving Day Sheepshead game with a bunch of old guys at a friend's hunting* camp. The stakes were $1, $2, $3, Double-on-the-bump, crack, re-crack and re-re-crack. It was a proud moment. Also, does anyone know what I'm talking about?


*As far as I could tell, no one actually ever went hunting, or shot a deer in the history of this camp, so I use the term rather loosely.
 
Re: Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

I learned some bastardized form of Euchre (I think it was crossed with Sheepshead, but it worked). Spent HOURS with friends playing that game, poolside at a buddy's apt complex.

Hearts is a great game, too.

The only other old person game I ever learned was Mah Jong. It was pretty much a requirement in our family, as we have some ivory tile sets floating around as heirlooms to the first born of each branch of family.

Spades for me. Learned it in the break room at work on long weekend nights. And not white man's Spades either, the real ****.
 
Re: Days Since Last Mass Shooting: 0 - II

I have to set this up because it's part of the romanticism of the story.

We were in Paris for a trip back in high school, we stayed up one night shooting **** and playing cards and a few of the guys were smoking cigars (smoking was allowed in this area). This public room was filled with smoke and it was about 2 or 3 AM. The last game of the night was spades.

I was watching and the one team was down by so much they were forced to go blind 13. Ended up hitting it and winning the game on that hand. Never seen a 13 before or since, and definitely not a blind. It was amazing. We decided to call it a night after that hand because nothing was going to top that.
