This is what annoys me. You are fine with congress holding the good credit of the US, despite agreeing previously to spend this money. They have already spent this money, who in their right mind would argue a downgrade in credit and government slowdown as things to even consider.

Title: Federal Govt is shut down... Will GTA Online suffer the same fate??
Post by: 240 is Back on October 01, 2013, 04:47:54 AM
Online video game launches tend to be precarious things. Publishers can buy in vast networks of servers and hire the best software engineers to ensure gamers aren't left out in the cold. But when many thousands hit the infrastructure at once, the results can be wildly unpredictable. We only have to look at the chaotic arrival of EA's Sim City or Blizzard's Diablo III for evidence of this. Both games pretty much collapsed at launch, with fans unable to sign in for many hours and instead jamming the forums with questions and complaints.

So this is going to be an edgy day for Rockstar. Released last month to huge critical acclaim, Grand Theft Auto V has sold in the region of 15m copies, making it the year's biggest entertainment release. And today at noon the publisher is unlocking the ambitious multiplayer mode: Grand Theft Auto Online. Providing fans with a persistent version of the game's world, Los Santos, owners of GTA V can access the new mode for free, join gangs, and get involved in heists, races, death matches and other nefarious activities, all the time earning Reputation Points which unlock new goodies such as weapons and cars.

It's essentially a massively multiplayer game, like World of Warcraft, but set in a modern city rather than a fantasy kingdom. Each time you play, you enter a server that is currently restricted to 16 players, but the entire universe is interconnected – there's even a persistent economy and a stock market that changes dynamically based on what players all over the world spend their in-game cash on.   http://www.theguardian.com/technology/2013/oct/01/gta-online-launches-server-issues

it goes live TODAY.
Bodybuilding related:  I think the % of people that are obese in this game is NOT congruent with actual American obesity statistics.  Everyone looks like they lift.

Sentiment trading is used to position yourself in the stock market against emotional humans such as your self. If fear is high you go long, if greed is high you go short.

The chart is not a graph, it's historical results from the SP500 during gov't shutdowns. Basically you will shit your pants over this nonsense and the stock market will hit all time highs within the next few weeks.

It's hard to believe anything the left puts up. Considering it's impossible for them to tell the truth. What was warned about Obama going into his first term not only has been dead on but has been worse 10 fold. There's no disputing that. Yet these wingnuts still continue to destroy this country by supporting him. I still say they have NO IDEA why they "voted' for him and I still stand by what I along time ago about they had no idea of the consequences of their actions. I do believe they are that dumb!

No, but you're a dumbshit that supports nonsensical positions which you cannot logically support and who believes that Obama was born in Kenya... I'm not sure which one of you is better.

You really ought to not use words whose meaning you don't know: extortion involves obtaining property from someone under the threat of force. Forcing someone to purchase something or face a fine doesn't qualify as extortion.


If you have 60+% of the American people saying they don't want it and small businesses and large corporations cutting workers hours because of this and he's STILL pushing for it, what sense does that make? You're literally talking about someone who knows NOTHING about business.

I agree conceptually that Obamacare is a bad idea. However, what the public wants is irrelevant. We do not live in a direct democracy and opinion polls mean jackshit. We elect people who go to Washington to vote on things using their best judgement (now that's a joke... best judgement in Washington). If we don't like what they do in Washington, we don't vote for them again and bring in others to clean up the mess.

October 01, 201312:19 PM
When a government shutdown loomed in 2011, the Twitterverse had some fun with #govtshutdownpickuplines.

They're back!

Here are some of the better, slightly naughty ones we're seeing (we also also checked #shutdownpicklines):

The fun has begun.Enlarge image
The fun has begun.

Twitter
— "You're all the stimulus I need."

— "I'm on furlough from the TSA. Want me to wand you?"

— "Do you work for the government? Because you shut. it. down."

— "Where have you been sequestered all my life?"

— "Do you not carry health insurance? Because you've got 'fine' written all over you."

— "My resolution continues ALL NIGHT."

— "The IRS is suspending all audit activities. But I'll still check you out."

— "The only thing nonessential about you are those pants."

There's also some tweeting about about #ifgovernmentshutsdown. Here's one of those:

— "#ifgovernmentshutsdown then who's going to read my emails before me?"

Feel free to add some lines of your own in the comments thread. (Just don't go all "adult" on us, please!)

No, but you're a dumbshit that supports nonsensical positions which you cannot logically support and who believes that Obama was born in Kenya... I'm not sure which one of you is better.
 

You really ought to not use words whose meaning you don't know: extortion involves obtaining property from someone under the threat of force. Forcing someone to purchase something or face a fine doesn't qualify as extortion.

Extortion

The obtaining of property from another induced by wrongful use of actual or threatened force, violence, or fear, or under color of official right.

Under the Common Law, extortion is a misdemeanor consisting of an unlawful taking of money by a government officer. It is an oppressive misuse of the power with which the law clothes a public officer.Most jurisdictions have statutes governing extortion that broaden the common-law definition. Under such statutes, any person who takes money or property from another by means of illegal compulsion may be guilty of the offense. When used in this sense, extortion is synonymous with blackmail, which is extortion by a private person. In addition, under some statutes a corporation may be liable for extortion.



I agree conceptually that Obamacare is a bad idea. However, what the public wants is irrelevant. We do not live in a direct democracy and opinion polls mean jackshit. We elect people who go to Washington to vote on things using their best judgement (now that's a joke... best judgement in Washington). If we don't like what they do in Washington, we don't vote for them again and bring in others to clean up the mess.

I guess Obama doesn't know the definition either...right?

Right. No property is being taken and there is no unlawful taking of money by a government officer, since the "buy insurance or get a fine provision" was upheld as legal. So can you point out what action qualifies as extortion?

Again, this has nothing to do with whether you agree with Obamacare conceptually or not.

Fuck your research. History proves otherwise. This administration couldn't tell the truth if their lives depended on it. Case in point, "president" Oloser's speech this morning.

The only thing that "history" has proven is that you are a sad sack little midget who can't handle truth and facts and thus have to live in a constant state of denial and delusions.

Not all that unusual for conservative nutbags.

If you have 60+% of the American people saying they don't want it and small businesses and large corporations cutting workers hours because of this and he's STILL pushing for it, what sense does that make? You're literally talking about someone who knows NOTHING about business.

Retard, Obama won the election so how the fuck does 60% not want it?  He ran his campaign with it.  Shut the fuck up.

HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAHA

800,000 people are out of a job, millions more will be effected, this is by far the worst case of treason by the right I have ever seen.

Tourism will be raped, no national parks nor attractions remain operational
counselling to vets with PTSD will cease
........................ .......

and on and on. When did the notion that talking care of others in their time of need end?

stupid people

Coach hates blacks and so on and so forth.

He doesn't care about those with PTSD, he thinks it's a personal training certificate.

Seriously, this is just a retarded scenario that did not have to occur, the fact that the economy isn't recovered and real unemployment is like 14-15% it's a big risk to take to stop a bill, sorry law, that has defeated repeal 41 times is the epitome of stupid.

So Obamacare is ruled legal and lawful and repeal failed 41 times combined with voter support for a substantial period, 1 year plus, this shutdown seems like a witch hunt allergic to reason.

1. Don't get all butt hurt because I probably make 5x as much you and probably a freeloader anyways.

2. "Obamadisaster" was passed during a closed door vote on recess with no republican vote. The left are cowards.

3. The real UE is closer to about 17%. But since you believe, no matter how many times the left have been proven wrong, you're gullible (stupid) enough to believe anything they tell you.

82 % of Government is not subject to a shutdown and is exempt. Yet that 18% that is will be devastating. We need Hillary to get her 8 years and a completely Democratic congress to get spending contained. Remember all the great things Obama did when he had both sides of the house for two years? No, I didn't thing so.  Yes, this is sarcasm. God help this left leaning country before it's completely destroyed.

1. I am doctor,  I make $120 a hour roughly.

2. sure it was.  Obama ran on it twice now and won, no one gives a fuck about the stupid people.

3.maybe it is, I could buy that, it's been quoted at various percents. 17% is fine if that's what you want to go with.

Your problem is you see everything the left does as bad. It's because you aren't bright. You could probably argue that every ideology as merits, socialism, conservatism, nihilism, pantheism, twurkism.

Let's get this straight.... the Repubs cry about the government when it is working "oh we don't want big government in our lives" (despite their unending attempts to regulate marriage and women's vagina through the government itself).    So the government shuts down and the first thing the Repubs do is cry about the "government isn't working".

Ok, gotcha.  They are basically crybabies that are going to whine and cry no matter what and no matter how many "delusions" they attempt to pass off as facts.

Hopefully Obamacare will provide free meds for these mental micronauts.
