I’m kinda in favour of this. Could do like an impeachment watch/poker session at a private table. We may need to hire security to monitor potential conflict between some posters.

I saw this earlier and thought it extremely odd but I was not clearly seeing the angle being shot.
A Vegas meetup for one of the presidential debates would be elite. Take over a casino and trash talk. (assuming Trump is still the nom and we don’t get Biden)
At any rate, this is not merely a hot take, it is so hot it exceeds the theoretical Planck temperature limit of 1.416785(71)×10^32 kelvins. It’s not that DS9 is bad, in fact it’s very good, but TNG is king. You can see this just by going character by character. Picard > Sisko, not debatable. Riker > Kira Nerys, not debatable. Data > all other DS9 characters put together, not debatable. Like, one of the main characters of DS9 was Jadzia Dax? Really? Crusher > Bashir. Even Wesley Crusher is less annoying than Jake Sisko. Early TNG Worf > late TNG Worf > DS9 Worf. Only element DS9 has over TNG is Quark, I loved me some tutelage on the Rules of Acquistion.

ime meeting internet people is always exactly two beers’ worth of awkward conversation where all parties realize they don’t actually have much in common at all and would rather have stayed home and read a book.

I do actually think it’d be fun, although I’d selfishly rather do it either right before or right after the WSOP, when I’m out in the area anyway.
Actually, it would be pretty sick if we could do a meetup for one of the last debates and organize to do some door knocking the next day since Nevada is a swing state.
I’ve met a lot of cool people from 2p2. One became one of my closest friends, and several became good friends IRL through poker.

Trump casino? Bet rooms are cheap and you wouldn’t feel bad about shitting the bed.
I went along with JT because he was venting over his 28 dollar wifi, but he went too far. I also am pissed that what I said that started all this was beyond innocuous and he flipped out. I can go find the exact post that set him off to prove this.
As far as I could tell, he’s saying that the headline writers are to blame. The headlines are chosen by the aggregator to display (Apple News is among the worst aggregators as I have tried to say a bunch of times). If the headline were honest, it would not be on the aggregator…soo. If he wants to blame himself for consuming it, that’s fine. If he wants to blame Apple News for trending it, fine. If he’s worried about other people consuming Apple News, blame them, blame Apple News. Blaming the headline writers makes no sense because he wouldn’t ever see it in his Apple News feed if it weren’t written that exact way.
The whole thing that set this off was that I said I respected the click bait game as pretty much a joke.
Sometimes, but a lot of life is like that.
@anon38180840, sadistic that that thing is in July. I don’t think I’ll ever go to LV in the summer again.

But, the 2 beer people eventually wander off and the 6 beer people don’t need to have anything in common.

I will acknowledge that the only constant in all my awkward IRL meetups is me.

I almost suggested this but would only want to watch it there for the trolling opportunities. I think I would have a visceral revulsion to staying there.
Except beer.
I’d feel bad about paying him for the room though. Plus, we might run into awval…
I’m not sure, but I might be willing to camp out in front of the Trump Hotel until we get arrested.
I might be willing to try to get up to the roof and hang a huge sign like in the fake gifs. It’d either say, “Nunn is always wrong,” or “Impeach the fascist motherfucker,” depending on my mood that day.

Trump really does see our soldiers as mercenaries, huh?
What about a little understated humor, like " Trump is a bad president."?

Frankly, I don’t know enough about DOJ investigations to know if it’s odd, but the reporter seems to think so.
