  1. http://www.examiner.com/article/russian-spetsnaz-arrested-ukraine Might be BS, though.
  2. There's some things if I could do them over, I might do them differently. And yet, there's some truth to the idea that if you changed those things, your life now would be different because of the ripples. And I like my life as it is now. So yeah...for me personally, I probably wouldn't at this point. Like Max says "There are no choices. Nothing but a straight line. The illusion comes afterwards, when you ask 'Why me?' and 'What if?' when you look back, see the branches, like a pruned bonsai tree, or a forked lightning. If you had done something differently, it wouldn't be you, it would be someone else looking back, asking a different set of questions."
  3. Not shocking, you can do anything with that qualification.
  4. Going to start on Rubicon - The Last Years of the Roman Republic after I've gone through the latest bunch of Horus Heresy novels (in which I must say, I wasn't too happy with. Granted it was interesting to note the Lion was the eldest one and Guilliman looks up to him, but was pretty rushed along and Curze is apparently some Death God, unstoppable by anything).
  5. Probably a lot more bluster. And maybe fund anti-Russian Crimeans using weapons sold to NK or something.
  6. Amusing elevator ride today, coworker looking sad but the office manager asked him what's up. So the guy responds "Well...found ou my ceiling beams can't support my body weight". Manager's face was priceless
  7. Ah ok, I always thought you were a Serb, sorry.
  8. I never did that kind of planning, still stuck in my ways thinking that I can only build a structure when I can afford it (materials and people).
  9. Played a fair amount of Hearthstone, was pretty fun although most of my games were against the AI.
  10. Noticed that tattoo first, meh. Isn't sorophx in Serbia, though ?
  11. I don't either, everyone gets their panties in a bunch over the stuff he posts, though.
  12. 4000+ population - http://imgur.com/gallery/bg6F9/ Not me, but impressive.
  13. Hm, from the little blurb on the video I guess it's like a zombie survival game, avoid getting killed during the day (luckily snipers don't have NV scopes I guess), run out at night.
  14. Then someone not wearing a badge should argue with him if they feel so inclined.
  15. Haven't really read much on what he does domestically except have people opposing him roughed up physically rather than just slandered by media, but doesn't seem like a real "Democracy" type of person. Foreign wise, seems to mainly be opposed to the US (but that is to be expected) but acts about the same.
  16. I guess some people don't like the principle of government doing stuff with 'it's good for you, really' as a motivation. Think of your reaction if the government "dragged people to the table" for an issue you weren't for, for example.
  17. Hm, doesn't really seem like new behaviour for him.
  18. Caesar 4 pissed me off with the equites' need for security, pansy bastards. So having to make walled enclaves for them was the only way to get the max homes for them, but was a hassle.
  19. Went on an inspired 8.5 minutes rant about how f**king stupid our clients are at work. Successfully scared the lady visiting too.
  20. Since when was being a scientist ever about taking pride in ignorance? I mean... really? Is this your argument? "I have a degree in an unspecified science, therefore I am permitted to be as ignorant about every other facets of the body of the collective human knowledge as it is possible, and also be proud of it"? On the internet, nobody knows you're a dog, etc. Also, you have no way to verify whether the person in question has any actual credentials, which is kinda important, I think. And I never mentioned "Malcador is an evil, evil person and my words were exclusively about him, and him alone" I guess, the joke about gender studies is lost on you - granted it was an in joke at my school, humanities being useless (For we are Engineers, above pathetic humans!). That and gender studies is pretty low down on the list of interesting humanities for me - the myriad of history courses for once is superior in that regard. That and it having a certain...aura of being an echo chamber, at least in my school. True that the person can pretend to be a feminist, but I can't see why - is there some sort of far reaching conspiracy of pretend feminists that post bizarre stuff to discredit the movement ? People come up with nutty stuff on their own as reality shows every day, right ? Based on perusing the sites, I've no real reason to suspect the populace of the feminist sites I browse now and then are all fake ones, heh. Though I find they label people too readily and dismiss any counterargument as 'mansplaining' or some other passive aggressive term to just shut it down. As for your last comment, pardon ? Some feminists actually do spout the crap that Orugon posted. Usually they end up as the typical neophyte zealot (so some 16 year old girl, all in for The Cause), but not always. Saying that isn't slugging off the entirety.
  21. Good thing about sciences, no need for silly humanities courses like gender studies . And why does speaking to them in person matter whereas reading commentary by them online does not ? Also, I wasn't denouncing the entire 'intellectual movement' based on that, as you can read above I've mainly highlighted that as a section of that 'movement'. Well, I guess we've got insults out of the way, I guess we await receipt of a sermon. No worries Orugon, some apparently thought that little jab was OUTRAGEOUS, and so on.
  22. Theoretical definitions is one thing, actual practice tends to vary. Reading a reddit 'feminist' posting about her hate of stay at home mom's and at the same time saying her ideal husband is a stay at home who'll do all the cleaning. Good comedy
  23. Go go Black Templars.
  24. Have to optimize a SQL procedure because the whiney client thinks an 1130% increase in runtime is a bad thing. Pft, idiots.
