Foreign Affairs / Re: US Presidential Election 2020 (Live Updates) by Yonce(f): 8:43pm On Nov 03, 2020
bolkay4:

Think about popular vote as what obtains here in Nigeria. In other words, the difference between the votes garnered is what determines the winner. That is not applicable in the USA. In the US, states have points allocated to them. For example, Florida has 29 points.

So, if Trump wins Florida, he has +29. Same for other states. As a mathematical rule, the first candidate to reach 270 points win. You can read up on the Electoral College system.


It's not points allocated per say.
The electoral college is made of 538 electors. These are people selected by each state to vote for the president on behalf of the people in that state.

Florida like you mentioned has 29 electors because it has 27 congressmen and 2 senators making a total of 29. California has 55 (53 congressmen and 2 senators) as it has more representatives in Congress because it's more populated than Florida.
But a state like Montana has 3 because it's sparsely populated and hence has less representatives.

To win presidency you must win more than half of the total 538 which is 270.
That's why Hillary lost. She got millions of votes more than trump but couldn't win half the electoral college.
Religion / Re: Virginity Vs Character by Yonce(f): 12:20pm On Nov 01, 2020
Interesting how the virginity vs character debate is always about girls.
It's almost like men are excluded from being virgins themselves but have strong opinions about marrying one. undecided

hype wetin,dat series was definitely worth,if dat isn't worth 8,I don't know what will worth 8

True.
Blood of Zeus was entertaining. But then again, adaptations of Greek mythology are always entertaining because the gods are the most dysfunctional toxic characters ever. undecided

Points to this adaptation cause it managed to flesh out Zeus, gave him the most character development and showed us a different side than the usual angry, womanizing asśhole we know him to be.

Deserved 8/10
I just hope there's a second season cause Netflix is sooo liberal when it comes to canceling shows.

Romance / Re: Guys! Before You Propose To Her In Public, Ask These Questions. by Yonce(f): 8:25pm On Oct 25, 2020
Public proposal is one of the most unnecessary trend of the 21st century.

Why ask such an intimate, life changing and personal question in the presence strangers. undecided

I have seen episode 1 of both Vagabond and Memorist. Healer was better than both in my opinion. Lol. Will look for the others. Thanks.

Healer is easily in my top 5 fav dramas.
Ji Chang wook's smooth transition from mumbling, frightened reporter to badass who rules the night kicking bad guys butts remains unmatched.

And the soundtrack!!! Eargasm after eargasm cheesy

Foreign Affairs / Re: President Trump Is Leaving the Hospital, Says "Don't Let Covid Rule Your Life" by Yonce(f): 12:33am On Oct 06, 2020
The hypocrisy of this man (and most leaders by extension) disgusts my soul.

As President you're offered the best kind of life while the people who pay for said life suffer from diseases and economic crises and are still taxed to date to fatten government coffers.

Just ew embarassed
Foreign Affairs / Re: Kayleigh McEnany Test Positive For COVID-19 by Yonce(f): 12:27am On Oct 06, 2020
Ovie56:
LOL I mean LOL after months of BLM riots which no one in the media bats an eye about social distancing?
Well she has 99.996 chance of survival according to science.
That said I think Kayleigh is the best Press Secretary ever that woman is amazing she put leftist in their place all the time, shes the 2nd most hated human being in America.

Most BLM protesters wear masks and protest outdoors.
Trump holds rallies indoors and very few of his supporters wear masks.

McEnany doesn't put anyone in "their places" all she does is lie, backpedal and repeat lines like a broken record.
Religion / Re: Should A Born Again Christian Involve In Active Politics? by Yonce(f): 9:34am On Sep 20, 2020
Why not?

For decades most political systems were intrinsically tied with Faith.
The Pope had a huge influence on French and British monarchy.

I'm religiously following the list of highest rated Kdramas according to Nielson.
Number 1 is World of The Married so I'm going to see it instead.

Have you seen it? Is it any good? And worth the number 1 spot?

SKY CASTLE

I went in wondering what kind of plot this drama had to have to been so highly rated with rave reviews, I was left completely hooked and floored which is surprising considering this drama had none of the conventional drama formulas or tropes I settle for.

It wasn't a romcom, had no compelling romantic storyline, didn't have an annoyingly possessive chaebol heir, a down-on-her-luck candy or a predictable plot but the drama hit close to home for me. The sheer illogical desperation and the lengths helicopter parents go to project their own values of success on their offspring.

I was conflicted to love and hate the characters and that’s what had me hooked. Their struggles felt real, I didn't agree with their methods of trampling anyone to get their children to the top but I couldn't condemn it either because they're merely trying to survive a damned system and give their kids a higher platform, more connections and networking options to get up farther on the ladder of success.

Easily the best Kdrama I've seen.

I AM LOSING MY MIND

Jesus Christ guys 'When I was the most beautiful' is the most vexing drama ever produced. WHAAAAT??Everybody is moving mad in this drama. I've watched a lot of dramas with SELFISH characters but MY GOODNESS. This family takes the prize. Wow. Wow. Wow. The three leads but especially Ha Seok Jin should be drawn and quartered for choosing this script. What in the madness.

So basically, SPOILER ALERT:

HSJ got married to ISH even though Jisoo was doing puppy love. After they got married he had an accident (He's a race care driver) and they never found him or his body. SEVEN YEARS LATER! They discover that he's alive but didn't come back or communicate with them at all because he's paralyzed. Yes. Oh my jingles I'm fuming!!!!

Then back to Jisoo's matter, he is so f*cking irritating in this drama. Oh my God. So irritating. Always playing the victim as if love is by force.

The writer needs to be dipped in meat stock and thrown into a den of wolves. The producer, director and basically anybody that wasn't forced at gunpoint to participate in the production of this nonsense pooduction deserve the same treatment.

Myself and the other viewers watching this stupid drama need to be flogged 2,000 with 22" long canes, soaked in Cameroon pepper.

Guess who has given up on this drama? Not me, because I obviously love wasting my time, watching rubbish. I sha want to know how it will end. grin

I was thinking of giving this drama a chance.
Thank you for this post.
I'll save my precious time and data

Since chocolate has ended, I'm curious to see if your answers have changed

But I don't have the time to type the questions so figure it out yourselves

King 2 Hearts is still my favourite of hers.

At least till I summon the willpower to sit through 51 episodes of Empress Ki (seriously 51 hours on one drama, if I wanted to waste time like that I'd watch a telenovela) cry


I just finished A Korean Odyssey and Lee Seung Gi reminded me why they say good boys go to heaven but bad boys bring heaven to you.
What a badàss

Seriously who's idea was it to drape him in ridiculously gorgeous suits and fur coats?!! Give that stylist a raise.
LSG can hit me with a rock and I'd still be a hoe for him (softly though)

The story was captivating, fashion: impeccable, CGI: laughable and ending: trash. lipsrsealed
