  1. >also, it may be cynical o' us, but we suspect that right now western nations is making deals with brazil and other food producers to convince them to limit exports to russia. Undoubtedly. But Russia and Brazil are in an organization called BRICK. They're in it for a long term partnership, there's even a possibility of creating a new international financial/currency center (it may fall through, or not, we'll see), but in any case the West can't just swing in and change the whole long term Brazilian foreign policy with a bribe. Plus, the food sanctions are only for a year (it's official, not just my estimates). And frankly, have you seen the list? Like, ok... Russia won't buy frog legs from France. But they will from Vietnam now. Won't buy fruits from Greece? Will buy the same fruits from Turkey and Israel. Potato-potato. I could go on, but it's pretty obvious things there. Frankly, it's something so irrelevant in the big scheme of things to come, I don't feel like further discussing it.
  2. >All feminism means is the belief that the genders are equal Yeah, right. If genders are equal, then why do you call your doctrine FEMINism? Call it MANism, then I'll believe you. >As most of you know I consider myself a committed feminist. Nice one xD I had a short burst of uncontrollable laughter when I saw this xD Alright, one more time. Here's what feminism actually is. Feminist theory on sex consists of three distinct theories: 1. If you're not gay or lesbian, then you're mentally ill (See "Feminism and the connection to homosexuality"). 2. Any sex with a man is rape, and even married women who consent are just plain too stupid to know they've been raped, even if it was a pleasant experience. 3. That all forms of pornography and sex are fine, so long as it is not connected to any type of traditional values or morals, such as marriage and family. This piece outlines most of the material from section 2: "All sex, even consensual sex between a married couple, is an act of violence perpetrated against a woman." Catherine MacKinnon "All men are rapists and that's all they are" -- Marilyn French Author, "The Women's Room" (quoted again in People Magazine) "[Rape] is nothing more or less than a conscious process of intimidation by which ALL MEN KEEP ALL WOMEN IN A STATE OF FEAR" [emphasis added] -- Susan Brownmiller (Against Our Will p. 6) "Marriage as an institution developed from rape as a practice. Rape, originally defined as abduction, became marriage by capture. Marriage meant the taking was to extend in time, to be not only use of but possession of, or ownership." -- Andrea Dworkin. "Heterosexual intercourse is the pure, formalized expression of contempt for women's bodies." -- Andrea Dworkin "Romance is rape embellished with meaningful looks." Andrea Dworkin in the Philadelphia Inquirer, May 21, 1995.. "Under patriarchy, no woman is safe to live her life, or to love, or to mother children. Under patriarchy, every woman is a victim, past, present, and future. Under patriarchy, every woman's daughter is a victim, past, present, and future. Under patriarchy, every woman's son is her potential betrayer and also the inevitable rapist or exploiter of another woman," Andrea Dworkin, Liberty, p.58.. "One can know everything and still be unable to accept the fact that sex and murder are fused in the male consciousness, so that the one without the imminent possibly of the other is unthinkable and impossible."

"If sexuality is central to women's definition and forced sex is central to sexuality, rape is indigenous, not exceptional, to women's social condition." "Under law, rape is a sex crime that is not regarded as a crime when it looks like sex.

  4. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calvary (film) A second film directed by McDonagh with Gleeson. First one was a nice black comedy, The Guard. This one is not a tragicomedy as many expected it to be, it's a drama, so don't expect much humor (although there is some). The best movie of the year yet. The Irish cast is just great. Gleeson is a very charismatic actor obviously. O'Dowd from the IT crowd, but he really surprised everyone with his acting here. Really good. Kelly Reilly, the ginger girl who slept with Denzel Washington in the Flight. Beautiful girl. She has this face, that I can just watch and study for hours. Not a lot of chicks have this quality. Aidan Gillen, the 'Littlefinger'. Speaks with his native Irish accent here. Dylan Moran from the Black Books series and the Edgar Wright movies (Shaun of the Dead, etc). Plays drunkards to perfection, obviously. Gleeson's son Domhnall Gleeson had a minor appearance here. A good actor, saw him in an episode of Black Mirror and About Time. There is a little mystery going on during the film as you're trying to guess who is the murderer, which is entertaining in itself, but at the same time the movie is very serene, with long scenes of Irish green landscapes and the sea. And there is the drama of the main plot of course, which I don't want to reveal here. I'm not going to write posts like that for every movie I watch, obviously. I only feel strongly about movies maybe once or twice a year. Last year it was Stoker with Mia Wasikowska, in 2012 it was Cabin in the Woods, in 2011 it was Drive with Gosling. This year it's Calvary. Well the year isn't over, but I'm not exactly expecting a cinematographic miracle here. Calvary is not a 10 out of 10 movie, it's not like "In the Name of the Father" in a sense that it's not going to haunt you for a week after you've watched it. But it's a very pleasurable experience, which is extremely rare nowadays with movies being total **** most of the time.
  5. Yeah, probably. But it's supposed to be openworld, so... Nah, you're right.
  6. This is really good news, I hope the initial reviews are positive. >70 on metacritic >reviews are positive Pick one.
  7. Now now. They're about to start selling a game, the funds for the development of which came in form of a present. If they sell it well, they're going to have enough money to develop 10 games the size of PoE. And considering that they have their own engine now, that number is even further increased.
  8. We all know how americans went into villages, massacred everyone and then called them VC on their reports. Ok, it's known that the only way to fight a guerilla war with a regular army is to bleed the civilian population so much that it becomes incapable of supporting the irregulars living in the forests. But it doesn't mean you can seriously call them 'casualties'.
  9. To the contrary, a very informative post. An illustration of what happens when you marry a woman or at least don't sign a pre-nup. An eye opener for some. Maybe it's not too late for some people.
  10. You know when I cry? When I chop onions. Crybabies.
  11. In the context of world division of labor, most countries specialize in something. Finland exports wood and Nokia. Russia exports weapons and natural resources. you are correct that most countries have similar economies... which is why the gap 'tween the haves and have-nots is frequent seen as insurmountable. western european economies, canada, the US, japan and others is middle-class service economies, and/or manufactures who see most o' their export revenues derived from far more valuable and less volatile capital products. http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/deu/all/show/2012/ http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/nld/all/show/2012/ http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/gbr/all/show/2012/ http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/jpn/all/show/2012/ http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/fra/all/show/2012/ http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/usa/all/show/2012/ and even china http://atlas.cid.harvard.edu/explore/tree_map/export/chn/all/show/2012/ more than a few o' the nations above see significant revenue from natural resources, but their economies is diversified and healthy. HA! Good Fun! Next time check your country's trade deficiency http://www.tradingeconomics.com/united-states/balance-of-trade before giving lessons about export. Every month the US exports $40 billion less than it imports. Maybe try diversifying it more, write a letter to your congressman with your genius idea. >trying to link export diversification with export volumes Such facepalm....
  12. Ukraine crisis: the neo-Nazi brigade fighting pro-Russian separatists - Telegraph Kiev throws paramilitaries – some openly neo-Nazi - into the front of the battle with rebels [...] The Azov [battalion] men use the neo-Nazi Wolfsangel (Wolf’s Hook) symbol on their banner and members of the battalion are openly white supremacists, or anti-Semites. [...] Asked about his Nazi sympathies, he said: “After the First World World War, Germany was a total mess and Hitler rebuilt it: he built houses and roads, put in telephone lines, and created jobs. I respect that. Homosexuality is a mental illness and the scale of the Holocaust “is a big question”, he added. [...] Such characters under Kiev’s control play straight into the hands of Russian and separatist propaganda that portrays Ukraine’s government as a “fascist junta” manipulated by the West. I lol'd.
  13. >if you stare in the abyss... GOD DAMN IT. If I see this cheesy line one more time, I swear to God...!!!!!!!!!!!!
  14. I hope it is turn-based, is party-based, and is on PoE's engine. I'll be fine with RTwP, though. Pretty exciting news! It would make sense to use the PoE engine, rather than building a new system from scratch. But I have to wonder about how Pathfinder players would feel about that. The name brings with it certain expectations. Being built on Unity, PoE is extremely compartmentalized obviously. To go from PoE rules to Pathfinder would require very little effort, not rewriting the whole engine.
  15. It was long overdue for Pathfinder to kick D&D in the sack for their stupidity of the last years.
  16. What were the conditions to end sanctions against Russia after Georgia attacked South Ossetia? A quick reminder of that particularly shameful moment. - The mass media spun it like Russia attacked Georgia. - Europe imposed sanctions despite the EU report. The report confirmed that the conflict started by Georgians shelling Tskhinvali civilians and peace keepers for no reason. - The report was shoved under the carpet, Europe continued to babble and then quietly lifted all sanctions after a year. So by experience, we can assume that once the Ukrainian conflict ends, sanctions will go away after a year or so. The problem is that the conflict isn't exactly nearing its end and from the looks of it, it might end with Donetsk and Luhansk rebels in Kiev. What will the US (a very sore loser) do then? A second Vietnam in Ukraine? A second cold war?
  17. In the context of world division of labor, most countries specialize in something. Finland exports wood and Nokia. Russia exports weapons and natural resources.
  18. You say debt like it's a dangerous thing for them. Here's the thing though. You assume that once the American debt has reached a certain point, they won't be able to pay the interest fees and it will provoke a snowball effect? That is not correct, and here's why. Their interest rate is extremely low, something like 0.2 or 0.3%. With such interest rate, they can simply borrow money and buy obligations from other countries, which provide 3-5% interest rate. This way, by borrowing money, they make money. And if one day they decide they don't like their debt, they'll make negative interest rates. By having everyone depend on their currency, they can borrow as much as they like, and when they feel like it, then can emit money and not worry about inflation because they can export it to other countries. They're financial parasites.
  19. Ok, all jokes aside, Rostere, I'm a white European and I don't take kindly to my own representatives blindly following American orders and stabbing my economy in the foot, something my ancestors took centuries to build. I take it all quite seriously. I don't want to see self-congratulatory delusional jokes about how we're defeating the dumb Russians while it's the Americans who are defeating Europe.
  20. So I read your article and I got a weird feeling of unease. Like somebody was trying to trick me again...?! But why? Why would anyone want to fool me??? So just on a hunch I went ahead and googled up 3 random articles about Russia's food bans. And when I read them all, I gasped in disbelieve! Could it be... that I've been lied to??? Kitchenette (your article): Russia on Thursday declared that ALL food imports are banned from the US, the EU, Norway, Canada, and Australia. The Forbes: In another tit-for-tat exchange with Europe, Russia opted to ban imports of certain key food items following Europe’s ban on companies conducting business with some Russian banks, as well as Russian energy firms. Kitchenette: They've straight-up said "NO, YOU WERE MEAN TO US, SO WE'RE JUST GOING TO STARVE, WHAT DO YOU THINK ABOUT THAT" to three different continents. Wall Street Journal: While the list appeared tailored to avoid hitting ordinary Russian consumers too much, some economists said it could backfire by driving up domestic food prices, at least in the short term. Kitchenette: Economists are pretty salient about what a terrible idea this is for them at a time when Russia's economy can ill-afford it. Deutsche Welle: The economic climate in the eurozone is depressed and in the view of European Central Bank President Mario Draghi, the Ukraine conflict has only exacerbated the situation. According to the EU Commission, the European economy will lose 40 billion euros this year due to EU economic sanctions against Russia. A general economic downturn would come at a bad time for the ailing European economy. Europe is laboriously working its way out of years of crisis, not without setbacks: Italy, for example, the EU's fourth largest economy, has now surprisingly slipped back into recession. The weaker EU members, especially Italy, France, Greece and Spain, desperately need a boost. These sanctions will have the opposite effect.
  21. Liberal democracies? In what countries??
  22. Saw tons of films with him, but never liked him. He mostly did lame family movies (I'll explain why later). I don't know what people saw in him, but he never really impressed me with his acting either. It was ok, and that was it. Movies that mattered: - In Insomnia, it was like wtf is he even doing there, it was a complete miscast. He can portray a school teacher, but he can't convey any kind of threat whatsoever. And don't tell me it was intended this way, cause it wasn't. Pseudo-important movies: - Awakenings - Dead Poets Society - Good Will Hunting - basically the same role for those two movies. Most of the acting was: concerned face, patronizing irony face, then angry face when you "weren't supposed" to expect it. His character didn't do anything, everything was happening around him and he was like "oh..." and smiling dumbly for the most part of those movies. Now, notice, the "best" films he stared in, he was never the main lead in those. There's a good reason for it: he couldn't act. Movied that didn't matter and were sheit: Bicentennial Man, Jumanji, Mrs. Doubtfire, Hook, etc, I could go on. And I mean... google him up and you'll see "known for acting in: Night in the Museum". Yeah, that's some achievement. Most of his movies were sheit, cause he played in anything that was offered to him. Couldn't discern a good scenario from a piece of literary sheit. I don't see him as an actor at all. Maybe he was good as a comedian in his times, but that's it. Let's not pretend he could act, ok? Now that being said, I'm not happy or anything about his suicide. I mean, who the hell does he think he is - Heath Ledger? He's got no business committing suicide at his age. What nonsense is this?

  24. Bester you don't strike me as the type who would be bothered by ads in your game...or would you? Bruce you don't strike me as the type who wouldn't be bothered by garbage in your house...
  25. I'd say right now we're 10 years away from when we have to have to pay additional money in order not to see ads in games. And we're 50 years from when we have to pay money not to display ads on our walls in our own house. I'll probably live long enough to see this ****.
