Excerpt from Gary Gygax's FBI file:

Gygax was a huge mensch. Sadly he was surround by degens who blew all the money.

Women should not be police.

Women should not be field police on beats in predictably tough hoods or expected to subdue male perps (or even aggressive female perps).

However, their observational, undercover, and dogged investigation talents are necessary for police work otherwise. Face it, men just don't notice a lot of shit.

Until we step in it.

Disagree here. The sheer number of single moms and their disregard for a dozen people from family to coworkers telling them to avoid people is a great argument against "Female Intuition" and "Emotional Intelligence".

Why women ARE needed as Office Cops are because: They're less willing to just believe other women, and people feel more comfortable around women, especially children.

Yes, that's a good map site. Looks to me like California could run two high-speed rail lines that at least break even. One from SF through San Jose down to LA toward the coast, and the other from Oakland through the Central Valley towns to LA.

What if we solved the air travel security problems/hassles so that you get to the airport 1/2 hour before your flight instead of wasting 2 hours. You might find that the cost of air travel on some of these standard routs is cheaper than that of a train with the huge up-front infrastructure costs and also some running costs.

TSA Pre. I only get there two hours before for a drink(s). 30 minutes tops if I wanted to cut it close to boarding or sleep in a little longer for a morning flight. Traffic is a bigger concern than security when I travel.

Not really. The cost isn't just the ticket but also time. And since this train will be making many stops along the way..

Why marriage is a shitty deal today:

One of the thing that would help fix marriage would be making it just as painful for the woman. Alimony and child support should be based on a fixed amount based on average mans income in the US. Women should know that getting married is going to financially suck if they get a divorce. If a man or woman wants to pay more out of kindness that's on them not the courts.

It is if she is the higher earner. My wife's cousin is an actress that was a regular on a daytime soap, a guest star on "CSI" and did some movie roles. She had a short marriage to a lower income guy who took her to the cleaners in the divorce.

Bingo. Why HSR will never work in the states. Maybe the northeast. Everyone will want a stop. We can make trains go fast, probably faster than other countries, we can't stop politicians that want stops in their district/town. We got to 120mph, shit we gotta stop in 3 minutes.

It would have to be end to end with no stops. Sharing tracks with freight doesn't work either. It really is a non-starter in the US. There are and will be regional lines, but 250mph trains ain't coming any time soon.

See my last sentence, "If a man or woman wants to pay more out of kindness that's on them not the courts."
Divorce is driven, profited, and taken advantage of mostly by women.

Agree.

Meth or crack? The left photo isn't attractive either. No serious athletic person I know wears makeup running or doing whatever. Was covering it up early. Hot chicks don't wear makeup except at events.

WookieMan says

Meth

Meth. Loss of front teeth are a dead giveaway.

Yes, not paying the dealers gets one punched.

Goddamn, fuck.

I think Trump needs to take all the convicted criminal rapefugess, load them into locked steel containers, and set them adrift out to sea, where they can roast and cannibalize each other until they die. The remainder who haven't committed crimes can just join in the mass deportation.
