Yep. I'm not above changing my behaviour. I do it all the time at work - just tell people what they want to hear so they will shut up and leave me alone.

Well, it is a contest - they are requiring a modification of your behaviour, so either you yield (rolling over, so to speak) or they do (and probably end the friendship if there was one, or just flounce *snort*). It is a calculation, in any case, but was not really seeing much of a benefit to it, especially when approaching this as a stranger taking offense and having sore feelings, which is more likely.

Irritated by Lenovo's behaviour, got my sister one of their laptops last year. So am going to check hers out to see if has the Superfish malware on it. Lenovo's response to this is golden by the way - "The relationship with Superfish is not financially significant," the statement says. "Our goal was to enhance the experience for users. We recognize that the software did not meet that goal and have acted quickly and decisively." Hm, surprised not hearing alarmist posts about Chinese intelligence being behind this all. Other than that a pretty ho-hum day.

What benefits are there to that ? Other than I guess the people liking you more from just rolling over for them, so to speak.

Good time to invest the security sector.

2016 is optimistic, think 2018. It'll be on a sale then.

I've no idea. Hopefully this one will be less boring, Chapter 1 was an intro so it's not that bad.

Fun game trying to figure out who broke it first, though.

Ah okay, I shall update Obsidian_stalking.txt.

Huh, I had thought Shady's wife was Russian proper rather than from Baltics. Odd segue, anyway.

Heh, figures. But don't really see him saying that, just that it was safer in smaller towns. Security is just one factor, right ?

Well, it would be the truest sign - in that there'd be little debate on it. But having never experienced that kind of state (back home is just crime ridden), I'll yield to you guys on that.

Well, thinking about that it's not that hard - you have to trust a lot of people any given day. I've had to trust the elevator guy to have done a good job, the girl at the coffee shop to not poison me. Hm, though I suppose the "not murder me" standard might be holding the bar too low - it's actually interesting to think on the many ways you can die from some nutjob - poisoning your food, push you in the road or on subway tracks, just stab you in a crowded sidewalk, etc.

I thought it was the armed guards everywhere.

Nice, last time I got it I got 3 legendaries I didn't need, but a lot of gold so not that all that bad. Enjoying my wizard in Season 2, using a lot of lightning skills. I never appreciated Arcane Torrent before, that skill hits like a truck and it goes over waller walls.

You did a lot more than that in the GG thread, heh, but whatever - that's Bruce for you.

Well, Fionavar's latest postings is what I was referring to, as it does seem like something new enough to warrant an announcement. Not that there's less freedom or what ever you'd wish to call it - I have a funny feeling on how long that time out is going to be and what the ultimate desire behind it was. But no matter really, moderators are a wall to speak to so to speak.

Well you flounced out of that thread several times after just stoking things up, so does seem like you were just trolling the thread with your silly act. Which is fine really, just don't pretend it was anything more than that - I highly doubt someone like you would ever be won over or something to make your purpose in there for something more lofty.

We didn't just have fights here, we used fight wars here. It has definitely cooled towards the boring side of the meter. But the truth is among the regulars everyone knows everyone's politics and we're all so stubborn it's impossible to change anyone's mind so why bother? Hey, there does not need a chance of victory for a fight to be fun

Seems people went there to discuss it perfectly fine or just pop in to snipe at others and then leave. Or are you continuing your joke that you went there to discuss it.

Nah, they are fun to argue with. Forum is dull unless you can have fights.

Hope so, not that it'll matter much with the new ideas on making this a 'safe space' or whatever the invented terminology is. Hey, this means oby might get banned - I guess Walshingam may climax if that comes to pass Hm, well in terms of offering a practical solution it's not a cure all - but this is just all text on a screen and there are mechanisms to hide content you are unable to handle without having some distress over. And "HTFU" is good advice 65% of the time in life.

Preparing for my exciting online course in Android development, is something to do at nights.
