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.

Not fringes, they just have to work with smaller parties and compromise in order to win the support of those parties and serve the interests of the people who support them. Minority governments work pretty well given that the Executive and Legislative are the same damn thing in majority governments. Proportional representation does make constituency a bit awkward, but I think a mixed system works around that

Sure, no gameplay but...40k ships!

Insufficient cleavage to continue.

Seems like random cranks. Expecting to see that kind of stuff here during our next election. Either done by people believing that crap or people wanting others to think they did, heh.

Sort of a pot and kettle thing with Moosa complaining about shaming people online for opinions.

Hahaha.

A bit rude to immigrate to a place and then castigate the locals for living in a way that disagrees with the way you want it

The lady TIE Bomber pilot in this vid (at 4:10) did make me feel kinda funny in my chair: I couldn't take that seriously with the TIE Bomber being so agile and with that Macross Missile Massacre (but yes, he was aiming to make an anime intro). Still impressive work by that guy to make that by hand. That blaster rifle seems a bit too short for her grip on it.
