Apparently Witcher 3 is up for pre-load now on GOG

Brothels are a key part of the next-gen RPG experience. Any game designer not putting whores in is one I don't need to bother with.

No. Nothing. Ridiculous presentations.

You haven't started hating your customers yet? You will! I had a teacher at a school I designed and installed a Wi-Fi-wiMAX system for two years ago approach me and ask why they could not connect their phone to the school network. She handed me the phone and it was a Nokia 6630. I told her that phone is twelve years old. 802.11 wi-fi was a very new thing then and most phones didn't have it. Her reply, delivered in a huff I might add, was that why could all of her colleagues connect their phones then? Thank God she was a music teacher, had she been a math, science, or economics teacher I'd have been worried. Oh of course I did. I said I did because eventually their idiocy exhausted my capacity to hate, so now it's just going through the motions of parrying their sometimes idiotic requests and trying to stay driven when no one around me seems to care.

I wonder why people say Dune is boring, old coworker once said that it was that way due to lots of dialogue. I first read that at 14 and it was fun (yay for SMAC mentioning it in the manual )

Dying is fine, but I wouldn't include killing in a child's story, but then again, I'm no author. Well given the age range, why not? Child is everything up to 12, no? Depends on how the killing is done, how it fits in the story. Heh the Animal Farm film was ok, up to the ending which was needless.

I always considered Animal Farm a book for children, I find it interesting, that most people don't (?) What kinda book for children has people being killed by a horse (boxer kills a person in the book IIRC)? A good one. Kids need to be exposed to death, after all. Heh, these days I am sure most of them at reading age have already seen it on film or games.

Harrison Bergeron by Vonnegut. SJW dream world Don't think I was read to more than my folks giving me books. Barely remember any of that though, guess old age is catching up to me

Have to feed your arms industry, after all. Same sort of thing with the F35.

Huh expected that to be in the CiF section of the Guardian.

What I gathered from the article was that some philosophers are trying to understand what in a family and how exactly it affects a child's opportunities and what that means for equality. If there is "X" that is creating an advantage, it follows that someone without access to "X" is at a disadvantage. The bedtime stories thing is just chosen as an example of something that is (according to Swift) helping create this advantage while at the same time being non-renounceable in a family context, unlike schooling in private elite institutions. Controversial indeed. Oh it makes sense, I guess I took that statement as if the people are actively doing a negative act to others.

Watched LA Takedown after Heat, rather noticeable what difference the actors made. Well and everything being less 80s.

Still playing Diablo 3. Paragon level 140 now, woot

Hah, well be sure to raise hell and bug reports over that. Is a beta after all.

The vibe I'm getting ITT is that some people have skimmed the article or settled for the partial quotations posted here rather than, you know, read it. It's a constant throughout history that those asking questions and trying to gain a rigorous understanding of things beyond "common knowledge" and "conventional wisdom" will be faced with, at the very least, a vitriolic knee-jerk reaction. "The philosophies of one age have become the absurdities of the next, and the foolishness of yesterday has become the wisdom of tomorrow" — William Osler I don't know, he does want people to consider how they are disadvantaging others (seems like a BS word, never really came across it as a verb). Don't think that was unfair to stab at him for that. Will have to reread it but the article does seem like looking at a problem that is not really so.

Whoops, damn quote pyramids suck on mobile. Even so, how is that question complex in any way, hence the deception.

New PC failed to post so need to spend time debugging that. Hope it is just connection problems and no need to RMA stuff. Bah. Also exploring the IRC server we are using as a backup and wow, lots of BDSM freaks or other creepy channels.

Ah yeah I remember those, but was wondering if she got death threats or anything along those lines. Probably so. Still a good example of just doing it. And also why all the victims are nobodies in the industry or people who aren't even in it (scared off a field, pft).

Amazing how you act like a **** all the time, yet act offended when others do. Anyway Obama is not that great peace wise, just heeding Gfted1's policy of drones and more drones, heh. But at least no major invasions.

Wonder if it was bad as Wu or Quinn get. Good job soldiering on through it - of course when you're getting paid AAA rates, one can easily say "like I give a ****.." to that noise

Nah, the cool thing is to just not point out how people suck at things rather tham encouraging people to be bad at them. Well at least SJW people, not sure what regular folk want. Cheat shaming in gaming is a thing.

Wondering that if clients don't care about their issues then I can safely do the same. Ah well, symptom of clients end-of-lifing (silly term but it is what is used here) the product my company makes.

Philosophy was chucked under the Arts (and Science) faculty at my school. Don't know why they tied the Sciences with that stuff. Bastards were subsidized by other professional faculties too, so their tuition was lower Does seem like a waste as there's not much consideration to the practical.

So the stuff from the arts faculty, then ? Bashing SJWs is something everyone should enjoy.

"‘I don’t think parents reading their children bedtime stories should constantly have in their minds the way that they are unfairly disadvantaging other people’s children, but I think they should have that thought occasionally,’ quips Swift." Weird way to view things, they're not "disadvantaging" others - just trying to do what parents are to do, improve their kids.
