Politics Thread: Silicon Valley Edition
Those examples, and thousands of others, are covered by our respective countries laws and are required to maintain an orderly social contract. But, imo, if any religion's followers feel that they have to impose their gods will upon other people or cant execute the duties of their jobs, then they need to gtfo. Its always fascinating to me how these religious mantra's do not exist in their own lives but they sure as hell will draw a line in the sand over issuing marriage certificates to other people. That good sir, is a bigot. And they get to use this moronic excuse to discriminate against others. Really? You really thing "god" cares about this and its "your job" to make a stand? Give me a break. And maybe I should clarify "bible thumpers". That's a term from back in the day to denote highly religious folk that take the bible as a literal translation. Not your average Sunday morning Christian whos just going through the motions. *"You" is not you the reader.

Politics Thread: Silicon Valley Edition
Good news, everyone! I passed a burning bush on my way home from work that told me god is totally cool with letting people live and let live and that you can stop projecting your problems and insecurities and discrimination into "religion" to use against other people. True story.

A popup blocker couldn't be the cause, could it? EDIT: This was meant for the GoG thread.

Refunded my Deadfire pledge, here's why...
I quit games all the time over bugs. Iirc, the most recent being FO:NV where the dude in the dinosaur head was supposed to snipe somebody that I led into his killing field. It didn't work, I quit the game, and never pressed the "Start" button again. I cant imagine getting 100H deep into a game and something fails!

Hmm, I just looked again and for me its literally the top banner on the page. In my case it has switched to "Thanks! The game will appear in your account soon".

You did WHAT Today
Never heard of an annual MRI. I'm getting closer to the dreaded prostate exam but thank god they keep pushing the recommended age further out. I'm hoping science will come up with a better method than sticking a finger up my butt before I get to that age.

threat mechanics
Gfted1 replied to dixon_sider's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)Is it better to wear for example Hide armor (and eat the additional 10% penalty)? Does the additional protection and removal from some "threat determiner" outweigh 10% additional time on a 6 second spell?

Do you have a cold? My wife had one and was experiencing situational vertigo when she would blow her nose.

Politics Thread: Silicon Valley Edition
Bwahahaha, what a wide ridiculous net you throw. People "who don't want to kill babies" or are incapable of executing the duties of their positions need to be run out of that position. Go do something else that your "moral or religious compass" will allow. Easy peasy. Yes, I support abortion. But like all things there are limits, such as the current developmental stage of the fetus. I do not support "late term abortion" unless the life of the mother is at risk. Also, imo, most bible thumpers are a-holes. If that much of a persons mentality is determined by religion then your nothing more than a weak minded automaton. Again, imo.

Politics Thread: Silicon Valley Edition
The issue with allowing people to not perform for example certain medical procedures on religious view is where do we draw the line? Would we allow a doctor to not treat a person of another religious faith purely because that person could honestly believe that person is a heretic and going to burn in the fires of hell....so why treat them in a medicinal way ?

^Huh, every once in a while we come up with a good idea. Now how will we crap it up? EDIT: Whoops, it appears that I have read that backwards. I thought it was designed to help patients, not a-holes "religious objectors".

Yeah, that was pretty much the same conclusion around here regarding D3. I mean, I don't get how doing absolutely nothing is a nuisance, but I can respect different opinions.

Aw man, I didn't know he died. The "fine specimen" comment was a joke just in case I have to say that.

Gfted1 replied to dixon_sider's topic in Pillars of Eternity II: Deadfire General Discussion (NO SPOILERS)What class do mooks focus on when there isn't a caster in the party? Is any spell, big or small, damage or healing, an instantaneous trigger to rush the back line with total disregard for AoO?
