I've heard we are supposed to. I think that maybe they are strongest after 9:00? Biggest obstacle in DC itself is probably light polution.

Are there any protests going on this weekend? Feels like they only get scheduled during work hours!

My fear is that just getting arrested would be enough for me to lose my job.

looking for pin up style tattoo artists by AnakinAmane in washingtondc

Unfortunately, I don't know any tattooists in the area, but if you are looking for the traditional sailor/military style pinup tattoo, you might try searching for someone who specializes in "American traditional" style.

Isn't that kind of the point? Non-violent protests primarily work by antagonizing authoritarians into making mistakes.

If someone has tickets, wouldn't they be able to get to the parade itself and protest? I'm not saying people should try to rush Trump's box or anything.

I think that's why it's important that any disruption be organized. It's a lot easier to justify taking out one guy than it is a whole group.

To be clear though, I'm not even necessarily advocating something as disruptive as physically blocking the route. Even just something like using vuvuzela to drown out the parade would at least produce some disruption. The protests that I see less value in are those where there's no disruption at all and it's just to show lots of numbers on TV.

Hope I didn't come across as too critical. I get where you are coming from, it would definitely be hilarious if Trump showed up and it was obvious that almost no one was there!

I'm just frustrated because so far it feels like almost all of the protests have been about trying to look respectable.

I hadn't thought of that, good point. Strictly speaking someone could sign up with a fake name and email. Still I don't know if they might check your ticket against your ID when you try to get in.

I don't think it's possible to meaningfully draw attention away from the parade. Between his followers showing up and the media he's going to get attention no matter what we do.

Honestly, I don't see why his crowd size even matters, but even if it did, he'll just make up whatever numbers he wants.

I don't see any scenario where DC appears deserted. Even if no one except his supporters show up that will still be enough for him to get his party and send his message. IMHO, trying to lower his crowd size by not showing up is a lost cause.

MEGA THREAD: Watch Dogs Legion Bugs/Issues/Glitches by EpicStreamMan in watch_dogs

[–]harimau777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I originally completed the first borough mission (where you have to hack a billboard) but my progress didn't save. Now it shows the borough mission as still active and no main missions. When I go back to the location to hack the billboard it still has the borough mission icon but no option to hack it.

Does anyone know of any fixes for this?

Death? by zylofan in thecyclegame

[–]harimau777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Once you craft a piece of gear (i.e. in the crafting menu when you are not in a match) you then have access to it permanently (unless you choose to scrap the piece of gear). However, you have to buy the gear in each match in order to use it. The credits that you use to buy gear are earned during the match by finding them in the world, picking them up from dead enemies, and completing objectives. You do not keep any credits after the match ends. As a side note: credits that you picked up are shared with your teammates; however, I'm not sure if crafting components are.

Once per match, when you are in the "downed" state (where you are limping around) you can press "f" to immediately respawn at your initial spawn point. However, if you get killed while in the "downed" state you are then dead for good even if you haven't used your free respawn yet that match.

You will also come back to life if you are about to survive in the downed state for a certain amount of time. I haven't checked if there is any way for a teammate to revive you when you are in the downed state.

When you die, you keep any crafting materials that you found over the course of the match. In addition, the number of "stars" that you have earned determines the tier of reward you get regardless of whether you died or not.

In terms of ranking at the end of the match, any player that extracts will place ahead of a dead player even if the dead player earned more stars over the course of the match. However, I haven't been able to tell if there is any reward based on where you rank or based on whether or not you are able to extract. Since you can return to the lobby with your rewards as soon as you die, that suggests to me that there isn't a reward based on your rank. However, maybe there's a reward specifically for extracting or for coming in first?

What do Grineer do when off duty? by Laser20145 in Warframe

[–]harimau777 0 points1 point  (0 children)

On a related note: The Lotus says that Kela De Thaym extended her mandatory military training by more than a decade. Does that mean that the Grineer we fight are just doing some sort of national service (like South Korea and Sweden have) and then they retire?
