wut? Bank Cards? Zing!

Do we give cards today then?

Well, you can 'get' a nation without having them fall - keeping them neatly contained and no longer a threat to you in areas, etc. Certainly can't fault someone outside the West thinking our leaders are full of crap when it comes to goodwill and deciding where to dispatch their air forces next, heh.

"Aggressive" display of cleavage. Having an amusing time thinking of what that could be.

http://arstechnica.com/information-technology/2015/03/tech-support-scammer-threatened-to-kill-man-when-scam-call-backfired/ Hate these people. Surprised the guy said they chop up Anglos though, was expecting rape, heh

Of course you would think it was like that. Fun dealing with you people, heh, but not all discussion on it was like that before policing. Hence why it was odd. But I suppose the nature of the target may be it, industry "concern" of our times and all

Still strange, that shutdown of conversation about it on some sites, where things about the same significance don't. Amusing to think "human decency" is relevant to that kind of action, heh.

Do they do a good job of repelling invaders, though ? That is the true test of any fence

Can't see how that is unclear - one reason to avoid metaphors like spitting acid. But nonetheless, Fighter's point was about being hounded directly or indirectly one's preference in games, or in other words you pushing your annoyance onto others. It was the main charge by defenders of stuff like Gone Home that they shouldn't be, but that cuts one way only as I said it seems to. Also, Meshugger's right, you know some one is the exact opposite of something when they say they are that thing - it's a weird thing that's fairly common in NA at least, sort of a backhanded way to be aggressive yet have that aegis to duck under.

Earthen ramparts are the hip way to do fences. Today, remembered why I dislike Eclipse after being compelled to use it. Though Android Studio's not that much better.

Maybe you need to brush up on your ESL classes, before you (yet again) throw a strop. Where did I say those two were the same - read the last sentence as well.

Maybe not, one thing you notice on Twitter is how passive aggressive everyone is.

Well, depends on the sources, some have a reputation for being mouthpieces. Don't tell me you wouldn't take a Daily Mail article as BS on the first pass, for example.

Well, unless this particular scenario involves me harrassing them on social media with my detailed screeds expressing this annoyance, I'm really not seeing how posting an analysis on how sexist/racist/whatever Game X is on Gaming Journalist Website Y would constitute as "foisting [my] annoyance on them" and "not leaving them to enjoy what they do". Well that is what I meant - the whole hand wringing over Hatred for example was that with people getting worked up over a boring slaughter game, I suppose writing articles on why your game is bad (but they don't want to censor its content at all, mind you, just identifying it as having really bad things in it) does count as that as well. Writing articles may sound toothless, but it's how the Outrage Machine gets going these days, though you won't see it as such.

Heh, ok, if being untrustworthy of western media is being conspiracy theorist.

Hm wouldn't say suspecting a narrative in the media is a conspiracy. Certainly have noticed a lot of "Russia is bad" in the news here, before no one cared but with Canada's..ahem, saber rattling of late...

It is impressive how some people are ok with things as long as the sights aren't aimed at them. Moviebob's "there are no bad tactics" for example, heh, though that sounds like something you'd hear from some fringe South American revolutionary.

I can see how that can be annoying to somebody who scare-quotes "injustice" in this context, I just fail to see how people's annoyance at the acid-spitters is somehow more valid than the acid-spitters' annoyance at the games at which they're spitting acid. ...I'm really not seeing the similarity between the two. Who was scare-quoting anything ? Wasn't aware that was a thing. Did that as it is less typing than "what they perceive to be injustice". Of late, that word means different things to different people, and outrage is called for for reasons that don't really bear much consistency to me. As for your point on validity, ideally people should answer the call to jihad less these days, things would be better, heh. So you are okay with being annoying to people who are enjoying something you find annoying, as your annoyance is perfectly valid as you foist it on them ? That's what the 'don't play wihat you don't like' is about, really, you just leave people to enjoy what they do.

The people spitting acid are the ones that get their shorts in a knot over "injustice" in games, most of the time, hence the annoyance. Telling them to do less of that isn't a bad thing - akin to advising people to not play games they don't like. Though that sword only cuts away from "socially aware" games with people identifying as pixies or what have you. Was rather amused at how easily some people are suckered, loving Blizzard and now wanting Overwatch just because they added a female character that fell into the right bucket.

Heh, not liking humanities is anti-intellectual, that was a good one

Would prefer games journalists just stuck to being the variant of whores they are now, in a way, don't think it will be all that harmful.

Eventually they may learn character assassination via media is much better, really. All States are about that I guess

Kluwe's trolling is rather bland, shame it will be so effective. I forget why most of these people are significant.

Not sure why they would bother bumping him off, at least with respect to Ukraine, Russia's enemies are already convinced that Russia is involved enough so this proof in his report is rather redundant at this point, no ?
