UK Muslims targeted for speaking out about terror
ManifestedISO replied to Walsingham's topic in Way Off-Topic
No worries, we knew what you meant. It's the least-offensive euphemistic allusion in this thread, anyway. Although it rhymes much too much with Bag End, of Hobbiton. Extended Edition, next month! Hell yes! Wait, what thread is this ... fantasy and fiction, right. -
Allan plays Deus Ex: Human Revolution Director's Cut
ManifestedISO replied to alanschu's topic in Computer and Console
Oh, what ... the turret at the beginning of Part 4 ... it's not a boss challenge? ... all I had to do was move the box and go around?! Aww, I suck. But I loved every minute of the game up until that part, and now that I know how to, uh, defeat it, I'm excited to continue, thanks Allan. Edit: Ahaha! Some glib hockey humor, pretty entertaining ... "chief of network security ... chief of being an ass, too" -
Two paid days-off a year ... that's all I get, and both are happening on 15 and 18 November, Friday to Monday: four straight days to enjoy my first-ever day-one purchase of Playstation 4.

That is remarkable. I love that term, biogeochemical.

Not just people, tens of thousands of military people in San Diego County, alone. Naval Base San Diego, Camp Pendleton, Marine Corps Air Station Miramar, and several other large installations all employ many non-Irish, non-Germanic individuals ... even women. And thank god, too, otherwise the lock-and-load jingoists would have nothing to be "patriotic" about. Aside, that bit about the Swedish flag was quite interesting. -
Quality of life, Ireland. I never would have suspected. Happy to hear it, though. And Happiness and Homicide are a little too close together, Central America. I'd better go take the blade off the lawn mower.

Holy balls! I love it.

I envy you kitchen magicians. Right now I'm mixing the pesto chicken pasta my buddy's wife made, in with a can of broccoli, cheese, and potato soup on the stove. I'm sure it's probably a civil culinary crime, but ...

Nothing revisionist about my post. And one language is only appropriate to help prevent the Balkanization of the USA. Then again, you're from the People's Republic of Flake-i-fornia, so I suppose your attitude is to be expected as it's been spinning out of control for decades. You don't know where I am from, any more than your stewardship of personal ideals represent facts. -
Great to see Carl, no matter where, or when.

Oh, for the love of revisionist history, not the exalted Founders card. One official language would be the opposite of freedom and justice for all. -
Wow, Allison Janney, funny! And dirty! Normally her voice is the little fluffy cloud of Kaiser Permanente commercials on the radio, but I just saw her character on that new CBS show ...

That is so weird, I thought you were linking to this. A genetic variant causing people to see the world both more vividly, and negatively. They think half of most caucasian people have it, much less in others. No wonder I see every little bad driving infraction on the freeway and get upset about it. It feels like hyper-vigilant negativity radar.

Didn't horrible things happen to the Chinese in San Francisco in the 19th century? Insular culturalism was probably at its height in that age here. Every race present in North America ... Chinese, Japanese, Irish, Black, Native American, Mexican, et al ... had horrible things thrust upon them. The cold light of day on this subject was written by Ronald Takaki, called A Different Mirror. It is both remarkable and astounding, and disturbing, but not without hope. -

Hey, if you guys start moving goalposts again, do it over there out of the way ... trying to watch an epic regular season football game between real goalposts here. -
I swear to Fouts it should be illegal for two undefeated teams to be in one division this late in the year. I'm supposed to want the Colts to beat Denver, but I'd rather see Peyton destroy Indy.

And ... we fall off a cliff overlooking Dead Horse Point.

Cool! I love the official description for that game. I think I must have it, while it's on sale. Edit: and ... downloading now. Thanks for the tip.

Horoscopes are just someone's ambiguous opinion. Fortune cookies, on the other hand, are real, down to the last letter of each word. I had one tell me I would be surrounded by luxury and wealth--and sure enough, here I am, working laboriously in a coastal community surrounded by wealth and luxury. Stupid fortune never told me I would be part of it.

Legendary weapons
ManifestedISO replied to hollowcrown's topic in Pillars of Eternity: General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)
I saw the coolest show about a modern smith who makes his own Ulfbehrt swords in the same manner as the originals. I love the idea of legendary weapons, but questing for pieces, not so much. If it's legendary because it was crafted unique to other weapons, that might be more gratifying than a magic enchantment. -
Working on Saturdays is a goddamn sin. Nah, it's OK. I quite like a good bit of physical work. You get your objectives and *bam* you're off. You either get it right or you don't! Me too, today, but it's still a sin. Especially for free. But it was at my mate's house, whose wife is from Brasil, and can cook with all the passion and skill of a professional. I was already 'standing up straight' tired yesterday, so today was more of a warm-down. The pasta chicken pesto made the work seem less like work. Obrigado, Camila!

Oh, I know the truth of hearts in Utah, and it is not preventive heroism.

So the weirdest thing happened with Pacific Rim. I watched it first and didn't really love it. Like I mean, a waste of a script. Then I learned it's a genre movie ... designed purely for fun. So I changed my expectations of plot, dialogue, and character--the pesky grown-up things I thought were critical--and tried it again. All of a sudden, I had the best time. Like a kid again, watching Condorman.

Cool! Haha, thanks for a great laugh. Our Dazzling LightyBulbs will hopefully overcome the, er-- Silly P-kitties. Larders for the win!
