With love you use a knife. Hate demands fire.

Other than the cat puzzle, what other ones? Every game has one awkward one for me (I still hate a few from The Dig), but for the most part they are all pretty easy. Granted there are just bad adventure games, where the puzzles are just bad - see AlternativA.

For #2 if it meant they would get a day off, they should say yes Appreciate that post Indira.

Searching for that is just giving me Breitbart, will have to look further I guess. Probably just generic bad areas rather than something dramatic as conquest.

Volo you don't know what a Tory is ? Term for the Conservative party here

It's increasingly common to not bring up all sorts of people that matter. ie: It's safe to safe that some or even all of the names you mention will remain largely unknown to a great many students out there as the curriculum they are taught does not include them. The average modern public school system, and university system fails it's students in quite large ways. This is sadly, and somewhat scarily, increasingly true, as many on the front lines (parents, teachers/professors, and even occasionally students themselves) will attest to. Insofar as Dante's importance to western literature, of those you've mentioned a great many would say he's only second to Shakespeare (if even second at all) in regards to influence he's had on it. Dante, Chaucer, Shakespeare, and Goethe are names one should know. They arguably more than anyone else have influenced western literature in the last ~1000 years or so, and consequently the culture at large. Going back further: Homer, Sophocles, Euripides, and Virgil are names in literature one should know. The bolded of arguable extra-special import. Then you have philosophers people should be familiar with if not at least aware of, but sadly a great many aren't: Socrates, Plato, Aristotle, Descartes, Confucius, Aquinas, and Locke are all names one should know well. There are certainly other names that could be mentioned, and there's also of course works that people should be familiar with that have no known author, ie: Beowulf. I highly recommend reading all of the above. Not at least being familiar with all of the above indicates a sizable hole in one's knowledge of western civilization, and the world at large. Fill it if you have to. I know of them, never really interested in them that much though - guess that is why I chose Engineering . But just went over the material we were taught. Only can do so much in English classes I guess, and we did a fair amount. Even subjected me to Joyce. Ick.

Armchairs abound here.

If only everyone else's raise as well, I guess. Would be interesting to see how prices would shift. Something galling about the numbnuts at my local Subway earning 15 an hour though.

Is that common? Mine never did, did Shakespeare, Fitzgerald, Conrad, Steinbeck, etc. but never brought up Dante. Of course the Bible was already covered due to Catholic school.

Well not sure how many accents but Maritimers, Quebecois and Ontarians speak differently. I imagine Albertans too, but maybe they are putting it on to sound Texan or something Not as diverse within a small area as England though, but diverse enough.

No such thing as an American accent, though.

I dunno...you sound like the average Tory

According to Elerond and Bruce, no major problems at all. Nothing to see here folks. Move along. Er ok. Well you brought it up but no detail at all.

All good stuff. Trying too hard with their code names therem

Sensitive people here.

Six figures isn't a that great with kids here in TO and I suspect SF is worse. While I suppose you can raise 2 kids in a condo, not sure living space is just luxury. Townhouses here are maybe 3bd and run 800k or so. Detached are 1 mill plus, I think

Reminds me I still have to beat that scenario in RT3. Also that it glosses over colonial atrocities!.

"I can't be racist, I don't hate black people! In fact, I have many black friends!" *cough* white fragility *cough* Did he say that in the post earlier? Given China's engagement in Africa recently I just took it as that in his post on trusting them. Or not sure what the heck that is to mean to me, other than I posted the same earlier today, heh. As for Gftd's advice, amusing but he is still correct.

I would. But I hate you for so many other reasons.

So did we ever find out what the problems in Sweden were?

Presumably it was the entirety of the Chinese people, acting in complete unison, who did this. No it was every single Chinese person...all 1 billion of them But on a serious note you cant separate how they do business in Africa They have a certain trade approach but its harmful and they lied to us My point is that this doesn't magically make racism "okay". I mean, jesus Malc, use context. Hah, racism. Pretty clear to me he's not speaking of hating the yellow devils but, alright, heh.

Didn't we go over this once before, referring to the state not people. Hm...eventually we may be able to have arguments by number or make Bash scripts to do this for us.

Shocking, isn't it It is amusing when people claim they are a literal example, mind you.

Ah yes, the "I have lots of black friends" angle.
