I can only hope -- that hope admittedly dimming with every second -- he's pissed off with the criticisms levied against him (however right they are). I really really don't want him ousted -- his administration is doing or planning on doing so much that's ultimately laudatory.

We've already seen the effects of the war on drugs in the rest of the world. This is more a genocide. I mean he's practically allowing vigilantism. It's a mess

Although I am not sure what to expect from a guy who literally emptied two Uzi magazines in a guy

Erdogen isn't doing that, which is why your comparison is incorrect. Say what you will about him Erdogen has never mentioned hitler in a positive light.

That's why I'm saying he's outdoing hin. Erdogan is doing a lot of horrible things, but at least he doesn't want to kill a huge amount of people

And destroy all those DEA careers? There's a vast global network of people who have the neverending war on drugs to thank for their affluence, on both sides of the conflict. All those lives lost? Those mean nothing. It is all about enrichment of the primary players, be it thanks to generous wages funded by the obedient tax payers or more illicit means.

Unfortunately there is quite a bit of truth in what you say, some of the biggest pushback against the legalizing marajuana movement is from th companies that produce drug testing supplies.

Haven't heard the term ROM in a while, though I am sure I've got some old PC games on disc packed away in the attic of my house back home or something. Relics from a time forgotten before I joined Steam.

It can be fun sometimes to reinstall an old game, straight from the CD-ROM.

I remember it being faster to install games rather than download. Probably because the lack of need of shitty WiFi for the former.

PC's are still the better way to play video games, but gaming on laptops certainly has become a more pleasant experience over the years.
