Game of Thrones episode leak
Generally, I'm not the kind of a player who post on the forum, let alone start a new thread. (Although I do read almost all). This time I can't contain my excitement . 4 episodes of Game of Thrones season 5 has been leaked online and I am in a dilemma. I would want to watch those ASAP, but legally. At the same time it would be impossible to avoid spoilers for a month. Any insights on this?
Also +1 this if you got the news from here first :p

Most Ridiculous BS That TV Audiences Believed
What are some hilariously ridiculous things that television (and newspaper) fans actually believed? Here are some good ones off the top of my head that fit into this summary:
1. CNN says Isis lures western girls with nutella, emojis and kittens
2. Gadafi was giving viagra to his troops for his raping campaign
3. The Iraqi army while at war decided to make stopovers at hospitals to throw babies out of incubators and let them die on the the floor

How about Assad saving up his chemical weapons, then using them on the exact day that the UN chemical weapons inspectors arrived, against his own supporters killing a handful of people right after the propaganda and build up was saying that chemical weapons being used would start a war.

An Oklahoma meteorologists told the people of Oklahoma City to evacuate and drive away as they were in the relative path of the strongest tornado in US history. In doing so, he created a mass panic as this was in wake of another ridiculously devastating tornado, causing people to flock for the highways in rush hour. The tornado surprisingly dissipated, but had it crossed the highway, at least 500 people, likely mlre, would have been killed and countless more injured. The tornado was two miles wide and spun at over 500 kph at its core.

As far as I know, that meteorologist was not fired or sanctioned at all for telling people to do the one thing you don't do in trying to outrun a tornado.

Bo: With the tornado thing, I feel like you're hitting on a separate issue. Yes, it is better to hide than to run. The average Oklahoma 12 year old should know that, as it's instilled into us (as Oklahomans, not 12 year olds, as I'm not 12) consistently and very early on. And a "ridiculously devastating tornado" is going to cause serious panic anyway. There are a couple of real issues here. Many people, especially in major cities, have very limited places to actually hide. Very few homes in Oklahoma have basements (I have seen literally only one house here that does have a basement), and there are very few places with storm shelters. This is partially because storm shelters are really expensive (10s of 1000s of dollars that many people don't have, and those that do have to spend it elsewhere or else are on the more wealthy side), and the only one I've seen has been inside the home of a somewhat wealthy family. For the rest of us living in bigger cities without storm shelters or basements (which would be the ideal protections from a tornado), we (an insanely large portion of people living in cities in Oklahoma) have to find places in our homes that we feel would provide the best protection, but some homes just don't have adequate protection whatsoever. So it's just as safe for them to run and try to get out of the tornado's path. I can't really speak for rural parts of Oklahoma because I don't know whether or not the average farm has a way to handle this. It's a very complicated issue that needs to be handled better.

Unless you have an armored F250, I guarantee you the walls of any room in your house are far safer. Bathroom or closet would be great. If you have to head somewhere else, that's perfectly fine, but don't leave the city. When my family lived in our smaller place, we didn't have a basement, so a couple of times we went to my uncle's grocery store and clambered into the freezer with whatever employees and patrons were already there. It was just up the road. If that is safer than your house, then do that, but telling people to head for the highway was the dumbest thing he could have possibly said, and as bad as rush hour around OKC was when I was there a week or so before, I don't even want to imagine what it was like when people were literally fleeing southbound in the northbound lanes.

I don't know where you're at, Tr, but even a trailer is safer than a car, and trailers are *not* safe. Your car might be able to outrun the storm itself, but it won't outrun RFD or an inflow unless it's designed to, and no commercial car has those features.
TrPrado (461 D)
11 Apr 15 UTC
I didn't say you were wrong. I said there was a different issue touching base with it. But yeah, bathrooms and closets work great. If there isn't glass right above the bathtub (like both of the bathrooms in my grandparents' home). And the closet is big enough to fit a whole person. And the tornado isn't big enough to drop the roof on your head. All I'm saying is that Tulsa and Oklahoma City don't have enough safe places.
bo_sox48 (5202 DMod(G))
11 Apr 15 UTC
Glass above the bathtub? That's a new one. Do they want people to spy on them that badly?

Yeah, I get what you're saying too. I'm just saying the guy's a moron and deserves mention here.

"4. Democrats are the champions of the poor. "

Democrats most certainly ARE the champions of the poor. They champion poverty, and set in place policies that have created a poverty class, and promise the impoverished just enough government largess to keep them minimally housed and fed, with the eternal promise for more.

Yes indeed, Democrats are the *absolute* champions of poverty. And to the tune or trillions of dollars, they have successfully used welfare to GROW the poverty class as a captured voting block.

Well, I do believe that to be the antithesis of "champions of the poor," krellin. Meaning that the Democrats care far more about votes and money than they care about actually helping the poor out of poverty (one of the reasons I don't classify myself as a Democrat). I'm not really saying you're wrong, rather that you have cleverly changed the tune of the word around.
