edit: You know, in short my point was that your personal experience was not a standard to which you could hold other people.. I wanted to add an addendum saying that I was sure you had been in plenty of serious situations, as have I, but that this was ultimately a sort of "Achilles heel" of empathy. 'cause it really is easy to start thinking.. if it's so easy for me, it must be for everyone - and people find it hard, they must be weak... Judging from this, we agree... So why, with this taken into account, is panic inexcusable?

Hollyboob is serious business. Wikileaks and the whole "Anonymous" buisness has a put a real scare into government and corporate law. Some guy doing it for the lulz is a pretty chaotic factor in security, so obviously they are striking hard as a detergent.

Thread closed due to length and general derailment.

I'd say you're feelings on this matter indicates that you haven't been in a lot of dangerous situations with people. edit: life threatening situations are beyond logic, training and exposure helps a great deal as you get desensitized to that rush of emotion - but you're average Joe isn't trained, so judging him as being purely 'illogical' and saying it's inexcusable for him to panic strikes me as a fairly inexperienced conclusion.

I feel people need to understand that you can be an idiot and still be a victim - and being an idiot doesn't mean you bear the entire blame.. but you're still an idiot. Getting randomly beaten up because you forgot to lock the window, is however so far out on the scale of "likely to happen", that you're obviously not to blame for it... if someone nacks your laptop because you placed it near an open window on the first floor in a troubling neighborhood... well, obviously the thief's to blame, but that's an idiotic thing to do. You're not "asking for it", but you're placing yourself in a situation where a crime is more likely to happen. Which I feel is ok to point out. The Internet is a "troubled neighborhood" when it comes to privacy, so leaving nude pics behind shoddy security is stupid. Again, obviously the thief is to blame.. but you're still an idiot for doing it.

When defending family, self-preservation (and - to a person sitting in a comfortable chair in no immediate danger - logic as well) goes out the window.

It's annoying, but generally it's a great idea (famous or not), to make sure that the only thing you keep and store - and especially in digital form - is something you could live with becoming public. Also, any link to the pictures will result in a warning and very likely moderated review for a long time.. So watch your step in this thread.

Robot Apocalypse is a little different than I expected...
Rosbjerg replied to Oerwinde's topic in Way Off-Topic
We'll hopefully transition into a Eudaimonian society / Star Trek'ish economy.. We're slowly moving away from a resource based economy, which by it's nature a finite economy, with money/time used to regulate the availability of resources. Robot labour, virtual reality, 3D printing etc etc - is pretty much incompatible with current economic models, or at least incompatible with models that will keep the majority in middle class. Robot labour could make goods so cheap that they would essentially not be worth much more than the basic resources used to make them and even further - once you can simply print anything yourself, using open source designs - it's gonna be hard making money of other people. -
So Copenhagen got hit by a tropic storm or something in the night.. 120mm (47 inches) fell during 2-3 hours.. It was like a wall of water, never seen anything like it. I was out with purple hair and a friend and the club we was in was completly flooded. Water was running in - this was about 15min in and an hour later in was up to our ankles, great fun (if a bit unhygenic)

I wondered what the hell (pardon the pun) they were gonna do next. Awesome

Do republicans really believe that anything would really change under republican rule? A sad portion of western democracies have turned into de facto oligarchies. Here a right wing led government was destroying right and then we elected a left wing government - guess who's destroying rights now? Personally I think this all started the moment we privatized the money flow back in the beginning of the 20th century... and to get rid of this, we need to regulate or reform the flow. Under a fractional reserve system, we'll simply never be able to properly curtail the banks and the huge multinational investment firms - who are the one's playing Russian Roulette with your economy, except they are loading the bullets.

Serious nerdgasm

I think the W. ending is probably gonna be canon, yeah. Unfortunately as all endings were pretty interesting on their own merits.

Took a long bike ride around Copenhagen today, the weather changed and got nice again and I felt this was one the last chances to really just ride for as long as I wanted.. Ended up all the way out in the outer rings of the city - also close to a friend, so I decided to dropped by for a cup of coffe.. Incidentally he needed to talk, funny how life sends you in the right directions once in a while.

Well that was a ****ed up ending I got.. Overall a good sequel, but the first game was definitely the stronger of the two. Season 2 had it's moments though, some of the choices were really really ugly, which I felt lacked in the first game - you never really got the option to make some serious mistakes that stuck with you - you certainly did in 2.

For those who've played Walking Dead Season 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tZaa-_0j7KU For everyone else - Simpson does ALS

Nope just for the e-bragging right.

The Longest War - I need to try that, it certainly seems to make up for the (admittedly few) issues I had with Xcom.

Everything wrong with the series in one picture..

My favorite will always be Medieval Total War 2, the modding scene is phenomenal and it's such a shame they deviated from that from Empire and onwards. Still Playing Xenonauts, close to winning - it's cool to see the evolution of your troops, from 80s rifles to futuristic rifles and hovertanks. But the best is that you still need to zerg the enemy to win - something they really got right here. It takes at least 2 humans to take down the standard alien troop. I liked that about Xcom, how awesome your troops where, but it did seem a little strange that the aliens (who arrived in limited numbers) would throw quantity at you instead of quality. And the Chryssalid (called Reaver here) is terrifying, on terror mission is turns into a horror game instead..

Oh yeah, it was called Renegade Black Rum sold as "Sct. Lucia Pot Still, 10 year" in the shops here.

translated from Danish... Did I want to come, she asked ... "Come on! I'm freezing!" she said. - 'On the Nuclear War's Significance for Vilhelm Funks' Youth' by Jan Sonnergaard So I'm getting picked up by random women. Eh, not bad..

Rome 2 is just toooo slow - my friends are playing it a lot and I've tried it on their coms and waiting for up to 4 min before it's my turn again is simply too much of a wait, espeically if you are upgrading or something and have to do 10 quick turns. Then you wait 4min for combat to load, it's over in 3 and then you wait 5 for the campaign to load.. and before you know it an hour has passed and you've done 1 battle and about 6 turns.
