If I can live by myself in one island with all my needs cared for, then my own.

I remain unsure how "people talking on channels that are easy for you to avoid - without any negative impact on your life whatsoever - about how the behavior you exhibit is undesirable to them" constitutes as them somehow "trying to force you on the right path" or "dehumanizing you". I remain unsure how the continuous sanitizing of web spaces to be better aligned with one particular set of morals isn't just that. Or how about one views keeps getting traction on the mainstream while the other has been obscured? Or how about they literally talk about forcing their views on other people as the way to make the world a better place? At least **** never tried to convert anyone.

See, if the argument was "good is subjective, and there are many equally valid systems of ethics, therefore it's undesirable to enforce a singular, rigid view of 'good' as the ultimate arbiter on human behavior", that I can agree with. "Expecting people to not behave like a bag of **** to each other is fascist" is a fair bit less nuanced viewpoint than that, though. You can expect it all you want but my concern if you started expecting it to be enforced, whatevered happen to humans being fallible and therefore sometimes misguided. Can't one be wrong without having someone try to force you to the right path or completely dehumanizing you as they move society towards their values? How is that not fascist? It seems that since the state is removing any possibility of aggressive disagreements people have now expected for the state to solve it for them; sometime in between those drone strikes.

Lucky for society no one is. It's up to them whether they want to do their job, but if they don't they wouldn't be entitled to their employment as they object to it on a religious basis. Always strange to see religious people be upset that an irreligious institution like the government act irreligious. Always strange when people make a public scandal when a company denies an application based on religion; so they bend over backwards to accommodate them rather than face a suit. Which is why i'm not too keen on Muslim underwear models.

If you work in customer service dealing with angry customers comes with the job, its not just helping people but putting up with their ****. If you're a journalist, reviewer on the internet then you have to deal with people making angry comments. It comes with the job, what I don't get is this fascist liberal notion that people should be good. Yet despite that they believe in freedom of choice, just not every choice apparently. There is a very ivory tower disconnect with every that demands that people; other people, change rather than learning oneself to deal with bad people.

Nah, I'm sure I've said more disingenuous things in the past...I must have ? Please don't get mad with me, you are the one who has to live in this new Internet where people get bullied into silence by people more belligerent and vociferous than them That's politics and the world in general and that's how we got to this point already, by letting noisy crusaders make others believe that they were a chorus. When both sides are mirroring each other it feels kind of pointless to just say that one is the guilty party.

So basically they are saying that they can refuse to do their job as public servants, on religious grounds. ...can they actually do that? And if they can, could I exercise my discretion to pay taxes on moral grounds? Heh. I foresee lawsuits... lots of lawsuits. Freedom of Religion protects a lot crazy things; still I don't see how forcing anyone to things against their will is a good thing. I thought the whole thing about gay marriage was so they had the same rights not to force homophobes to marry them.

Actually read the subtext, its obviously a conversation about P's. I think its very apropos.

To me the perfect portion of the game was the White Orchard, there a was a major event that happened there that we learn through every quest by seeing how it affected every NPC. It helps to give a sense of a real world while developing characters, I wish the rest of the game had that feel, Velen and Novingard have a bit of it but I feel Skellige was rushed. So I agree with you that they attempted to it but ultimately they had to focus on finishing the game rather than developing it, I sincerely hope that what you say comes true and they manage to develop these areas further through patches and new content. BTW, kudos to CDP for releasing new content for free rather than selling it as DLC. They get brownie point from me for that.

Ok, I don't know the point of your post but I just want to clarify a few things. Pixels and Vectors are two completely different rending methods, Vectors have the advantage of maintaining quality at any resolution and pixels can store more diverse color information. 2.5D uses 3D assets in a 2d manner, if they changed the perspective then it would full 3D. It's developed the same as 3D just with less detail as the camera is fixed on just one perspective (e.g: you don't make the back of a building because it will never be seen as it is an isometric game) Although the mode 7 is interesting (I didn't knew about it) It is not what is currently used.

Maybe is one of things like they officially are separated but still collaborate, just like Chris was with InExile.

Can't you guys just remove the image? I agree with keeping the forums clean but it seems like a punitive measure rather than a preventive one.

I got to say I subscribed to postmodern Jukebox and I'm loving it. It really lends an air of quality to otherwise dreary music, if only because it removes all the flash and embraces the melody.

Yeah...that's good in theory...but not so much in practice when getting along with others is pretty much required for your time to be constructive. Yeah, I'd go one step further and say that it's not even that good in theory, let me explain (pedantic **** mode ON). If you don't give a **** what others say, there is no point in posting or saying anything, ever — just thinking or writing in a journal would accomplish the same result and is more convenient. And if you only care about what others say if they agree with you, that is also pointless, as they already agree with you and reinforcing the same point accomplishes nothing, much like yelling inside an empty cave. It makes no sense to care only about what others say if they agree with you after you convince them, because you can *not* know before listening to their reaction if they agree. So this leaves only two possibilities: either you don't care what people think and only speak because you love the sound of your own voice, or you speak in order to elicit a reaction, whatever that may be, so you do in fact care about what others say. If only because, barring physical demonstrations, you need to listen to their reaction to know that your message has been received at all, and is intelligible. Speaking up and not giving a **** about what other people say is about as sensible as a deaf person that cannot read lips and doesn't know sign language trying to have a conversation. (no, I don't really have anything useful to add to the legal debate) This is an interesting post and raises the question " why do we engage in debates on the Internet " ? I participate in debates to give people a different perspective and to sometimes correct a spurious view someone may have. I also like to learn new things about topics and that also happens sometimes when people give there views For me it always has been about self improvement, it's hard to find the people and the time to debate and test one's ideals but the internet has the benefits of connecting the whole world and keeping records for posterity. Doesn't mean that every argument is worth it but that's one of the reason I like these forums, the people here are worth it.

I have Woodrow Wilson

So Trump is playing the spoiler candidate yet again against the Republicans. My conspiracy sense tells me that the big five families are behind this.

Shame about the 20 dollar bill though, Andrew Jackson is one of my favorite presidents for the same reason that he probably is being pushed out of the bill: He kicked out the Jews that run the Federal Reserve from the US.

Weeeeeelllll, with Troll Decoction you have it already, but I get what you mean. Except that when you mix troll decotion with those effects you get immortal Geralt

I never did either in my previous games but this time it seems like the strongest is the alchemy tree. I just wish someone would mod it so that decotions count towards your toxicity so that you can have infinite potions for an hour. Yes; that's how broken the alchemy tree is, that with just one small modification you can have a immediate regen for an hour.

Next step, boycott churches that don't want to marry gays

Reading the leaked developer documents after having played the Witcher is quite revealing of how things change when they went into game. I

History is written by the victors but it doesn't make it a fact.

I seem to remember people pointing out the double standard of Gawker coming out against the massive leak of private celebrities pictures(AKA the fappening AKA that one with Jennifer Lawrence) their treatment of the Hulk Hogan situation. Liberals seem to have very convenient blind spots when it comes to their biases, I quite frankly feel that it is genuine psychopathy
