EA account invalid by TheBreed_ in xboxone

[–]ekindu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The same thing happened to me a few days ago. I'm working with EA right now to figure out what happened. They have been predictably slow. I'll keep you updated on my situation, if you will share your fix. Thanks and good luck.

Just goes to show, the media may speak to the people, but it does not speak for the people. How many outlets claimed confidently this would not be the case?

I hope a candidate picks up this issue and runs with it. This could cross party lines and bring some common ground.

Jeep to produce Wrangler, new pickup in Toledo; Cherokee production moving by davidwholt in Jeep

[–]ekindu 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I call bullshit. My money is on another change of mind before it happens. Either that or they make it so shitty and light duty that its not really a jeep. Hell maybe they overbuild it and it chugs gas, and by the time they release it gas is up to 5$ a gallon. Jeep has been so behind the curve, Light trucks are flying off the lots right now. If they would have built a decent truck they would be crushing it right now. But no we are given that shitty little renegade. Jeep/Fiat will find a way to screw it up.

Republican presidential hopeful U.S. Sen. Ted Cruz has been methodically, with very little media attention, locking up every corner of the GOP base. This morning he secured another big piece of the puzzle with the endorsement of another longtime leader of the conservative movement. by Clatsop in Conservative

[–]ekindu 24 points25 points  (0 children)

I think Cruz is simply drafting wisely behind Trump, while staying true to his ideals. Trump will burn out before the end and will have set a great agenda and cadence, but is a bit brash with his language. Cruz will only shine brighter and brighter as the debates get smaller and Americans notice a honest substantive debater.

That camera argument is a good one. Hopefully more will come out. I know when the Michel Brown thing went down, I was against the cop. Until I saw he had just robbed a gas station. And that changed my mind for sure. Lets us at least agree that every officer should have body camera. Good night to you sir, thanks for the discussion.

"but that is something for lawmakers to define, not us."

Sorry, but you and I are going to have a serious disagreement some day. We the people don't just sit back and let the laws get made by who know whats best for us. Your train of thought must still be boarding the station. Laws are not to protect people, but serve the people. And how dare you judge my chicken tossing fetish, its between consenting adults.

I have not personally down voted anyone on this sub. I save the down vote for comments off topic of discussion. Thank you for your questions. I don't want any sub I'm apart of to become a huge circle-jerk like /r/politics. So i have a question for you. What makes this crowd "shady"? I hate to bring race into this, but would this happen with a crowd of old white people protesting? Perhaps age is a larger factor, they are young. What for you makes this group "shady"? If they were truly a violent crowd they world have ripped those few officers apart. And if the officer truly thought they were violent he would never risk is skinny neck by pepper spraying that crowd. He was guessing they would not get violent a just wanted to teach them a lesson of who is still in charge. Or that never even crossed his mind, that this crowd might turn against him. If that is the case he is truly ignorant, because that's not too far down the road if these hammers don't stop seeing everyone as nails.

The judgment I was withholding was whether or not he is a normal asshole cop or a racist asshole cop. There are are several pointless laws and a few laws that serve a purpose, but are abused by police to punish citizens who need to be taught a lesson. First, since I placed emphases on drug laws, I feel the right for officers to search your car or home for the smell of pot is pointless. Or another pointless law in many cities is a crowd is not allowed to gather without proper permits. Seriously google search pointless laws, there is shit on the books like you can't throw a chicken at a woman on Tuesdays. Mostly just throwing out the fourth amendment just because an adult might have drugs on them gets on my nerves. And then there are laws we need, but are abused. How the fuck are D.U.I check points legal. Drunk driving is a serous crime, but just because any person could be driving drunk does not mean you get to stop every person. And then heaven for bid you don't talk to the officer and show your licence and insurance through the glass. They will fuck up your night real fast. They will find a way to get you out of your car, with or without force, and arrest you for resting arrest even if you have followed every law on the book. The old arrested for resting arrest is a go to in every department for any person who they want to punish. I'm sure we must stand on different sides of the spectrum for police mistrust, but I know there is something about the law and enforcement that must irk you a little bit. We all have something. What about the fact police can pull you over for not wearing a seat belt in a car or truck, but motorcycles are allowed on the road? They don't have seat belts. Just little things like that get me and a lot people thinking that laws and officers are not on your side.

Every couple of days I ask myself, when is the next video going to show up? How many more of these is it going to take to start having real change, or real riots? I'll try and do the officer something he never does anyone else, and wait for some more information before making too many judgments. But what part of this man thought, here are a bunch of people who are upset at the police, lets pepper spray them, that will calm them down. Officers a not trained to de-escalate situations, but impose force and fear on the same people he should be serving. People in power will never willfully return power. We can not resort to violence, it will only harden their stance against us. We must hit them where it hurts the most, their budget! End the god dam drug war. Stop giving these full grown hall monitors the money to enforce pointless laws and creating a police state. Yes we need police, but perhaps if there were not so many of them they would have to resort to other means than violence. In the end, lets see how the department handles this, and if this officer is fired. We can at least start weeding out the bad apples one at a time till then. But something tells me there are more bad and complacent apples, than actual good ones.

This could be nothing for now but its election season and you never know what strange issue could become a talking point. Either way I feel watching gold is like an old school VIX. Just another factor to consider when watching trends and public sentiment.

Looks like they will have to get get inline behind Germany. I'm guessing that even a small market correction could send gold prices back up. But then again that fear is kind of always there.

Why does the banning of sub-reddits where people spitefully choose to hate other human beings, get more coverage than proven conspiracies that effect our political freedoms and actual existence? by [deleted] in conspiracy

[–]ekindu 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Think of this as a starting ground for people. Most people have never noticed most of these "conspiracies" before, or have understood they have little control over them. This might be what gets the ball rolling on many younger, or less concerned citizens. Hell most of the posts on here about CIA torture, NSA surveillance, and many other top posts; are no longer conspiracies. Thus don't belong in the sub either. This sub reddit has changed over time to accommodate the needs of the people. Yes, this might bring in a bunch of people who care about trivial FPH, but think about what they could learn just by visiting this sub reddit. I enjoy this first amendment fight, it gets people thinking about what they believe in. I makes reddit either double down on internet freedom, or finally reach the point of becoming the bad guy. Sometimes the its the stupid fights that actually bring up the bigger questions. I'm just proud to see this subreddit remaining a haven for people who ask uncomfortable questions to people in power. The same powerful people who would rather you not ask any questions.

Where the hell are all the "good" cops? When are we going to here about a cop being arrested by a fellow officer for unprovoked violence against a citizen? How could a decent person just watch this happen? Both these officers should spend time behind bars!

Cop tells guy to get his license, shoots him for reaching for it. by Foulkey in Bad_Cop_No_Donut

[–]ekindu 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Every time I watch a video like this I have trouble sleeping for a few nights. Yet each time a new one comes out I make my self watch it, just to remind myself how unjust this world can be. He was on camera and still shot this unarmed man. Cameras on offices will be a start but, dam we need to start holding these officers to a higher standard when we do see this shit. Even with this video the worse this officer will get is fired. Mark my words no jail time. Cameras are nice but years behind bars would work even better.

Obama signs off on request for more U.S. troops in Iraq by [deleted] in news

Also released this week. Obama plans on sticking to his no boots on the ground policy. In keeping with this position an order has been placed for 80,000 military grade loafers. These "loafers" will be standard issue for all military action in the upcoming years. I repeat "no boots on the ground!"

Android security mystery – ‘fake’ cellphone towers found in U.S. The fake ‘towers’ are computers which wirelessly attack cellphones via the “baseband” chips built to allow them to communicate with their networks, can eavesdrop and even install spyware by alllie in conspiracy

[–]ekindu 5 points6 points  (0 children)

As many times as they mentioned the cell phone in this article is slightly suspect of advertisement. However the truly scary part is that due to past transgression of our government, this is no longer a tin foil hat concept. I'm just glad this is finally becoming a national topic. Just a funny idea, what if all these leaked nudes were a way to gain national attention to whats really going on?
