  1. So, let's recap. #1 kill fatties #2 nuke Ukraine #3 lock up trannies Wow, you just have a lot of love to spread around, don't you?
  2. Didn't they get that covered already? Also, this is big, but not so big that we need two threads, right? Merge pls.
  3. I know you are joking, but considering that we can trace a direct line between the current government and the one that allowed human ownership based on deeply held beliefs that some phenotypes made certain human beings "clearly" inferior and possibly even barely human... I'm not sure you want to go there. Besides, directly owning other people and killing them yourself? Why would you even want to do that? Much more cost-effective and hassle-free to have them take care of themselves while keeping them in a sort of perpetual servitude facilitated by controlling wages. And if they need killing at some point, please leave it to professionals. As for morose people dictating norms, I agree. But I also don't want you dictating them, or anyone else for that matter. Nothing personal. In this context, I wonder what the practical utility of "norms" even is. And if you want to ask trannies about their pregnancies, I have a feeling the answer is going to be along the lines of [Picture removed due to circumventing language filter. Picture was Jesse Pinkman from Breaking Bad going "Yeah, Science ****!"] ...because they didn't cover that in "the talk". I know my folks didn't.
  4. What you believe is ultimately your business, provided you don't try to "fix" other people to conform to your beliefs. Because we do not yet fully understand the underlying mechanisms that give rise to identification with a given gender, (or any other given personality trait, for that matter) we simply cannot be certain that they need repairs simply because they show a behavior different from the majority of the sample. But that's exactly what we're doing — we tell these people, openly or tacitly, that they are wrong. The dragon simile is pretty cool, so I'm totally going to steal it. Imagine that you are exactly as you are now, but every male around you identifies as a dragon. They go around flapping their arms and yelling all the time like imbeciles. And you either pretend that you are a dragon too (and mimic their idiotic antics) or are looked down on as a deviant, un-dragonly, a freak of nature, or a plain old attention-whore. But deep down, you identify as something else, only you don't know exactly what it is because everyone around you with whom you share a phenotypic differentiation identifies as a silly fictional giant flying lizard... fun, huh?
  5. By what definition? How do you know that "treatment", in a medical sense, is required? What I'm trying to say is, how do you know the problem lies with the person? Dysmorphia is a problem, no doubt, but it can only exist as a result of juxtaposition to social constructs (man/woman). Biological sex is determined by the chromosomes one is born with. So far, we cannot change that. Gender, not so much.
  6. Well, I'm not among them, and I've never heard of this. You really can't imagine yourself not being attracted to a physically attractive woman because of her personality or something else like that? :U Personality? Ain't nobody got time fo' dat. Two words. Bad. Breath.
  7. It's a no-no because "fixing it" assumes there's something that is broken — that may or may not be the case. Let's first complete the research into how it works, then move on to research how it's supposed to work, and once we have adequate answers to those questions, we'll be in a position to judge if it needs repairing.
  8. Yeah, probably handing out keys for free every other tuesday has something to do with it too. On the bright side, we may see a "Great Mod Giveaway" thread popping up here soon... LOL. Can't resist the urge to direct a bit of snark at the people you are ripping off, huh Gabe? Good show.
  9. Good for him, he looks like a good boy-toy or man-whore, but what does he do besides that? Even if he is as good at maintaining relationships as picking one night stands, he is broke, without no job(education?). He will settle with who ever will take him.. Yeah is unsustainable, for sure. I'm sure Pfizer would disagree.
  10. Yeah... no. The writing has been on the wall since, well, forever. If there is a lesson to be learned from all this, is that, ironically, we never learn. But who cares, because, convenience. I'm waiting for Valve to announce that they've "listened to concerns" and are graciously reducing their cut from 75% to 50%. It'll be hilarious to see the Stockholm syndrome kick into overdrive and the masses of Valve lemmings run back to into the fold. I've also had a revelation. How about we develop a framework so Youtube has a per-account paywall. Because, "why shouldn't youtubers be rewarded for their hard 'work'?". And while we're at it, a paywall for forum posts, too, because "why shouldn't I be rewarded for my hard 'work'?". Some fool's out there waiting to be parted from his money, so DO IT OBSIDZ.
  11. So 3 bases is the optimal number then? I had 4 by the time I quit, 1 in construction, 3 operational as interceptor bases but only one from which to launch ground teams. I've noticed that radar installations are obviously artificially overpriced, at a whopping $250k apiece, I guess to prevent you from just setting up a network of listening posts and force you to scout with interceptors. Unchecked terror sprees really do a number on funding, which is great. However, successfully shooting down UFOs and recovering stuff rarely makes up for that. Numbers may change down the road though, as my biggest catches so far are just corvettes. I take it that carriers and battleships are sufficiently profitable to make me less sensitive to council tantrums?
  12. Xenonauts. Yep, this is the game I wanted. Basically XCOM with a facelift. I'm surprised they copied the original so literally. My only gripe with the game so far is with the difficulty. I started on Veteran because I played the hell out of the old UFO and TFTD, so I thought I could take it. The difficulty level is what I expected, unforgiving to the point of being unfair sometimes, but I was managing. But then, no matter what I do, council nations hate me and keep slashing my budget. In the old games, the opposite happened; without savescumming tactical combat was a nightmare, but I rarely struggled at the strategic level. So I decided to restart on Normal. Now the strategic difficulty is reasonable (I keep getting budget cuts but nothing excessive) but tactical combat is stupid easy, noob squaddies can take on aliens 1v1 me irl babby, enemies are much, much less aggressive, and taking risks rarely results in deaths. I think I'll be restarting again...
  13. Now turn this around, and make the subject a woman instead. Check your privilege, intensify your triggering, etc.
  14. I'm not too fond of hate speech laws. Something about the state stopping random yahoos from broadcasting vile lies doesn't sit well with me. I'll admit that this is pushing it, though. What bothers me is what this fomented hatred will crystallize into: more support for fascists to continue abusing laws and outright abrogating rights, and consolidation of a police state under the guise of "security and protection" from "terrorists".
  15. I wonder if this "great" idea is Varoufakis'?
  16. The point of the post is, as I explained, "don't bother with Bruce (& co.)". I provided the link not because I'm so cool it hurts, but so you could see why you shouldn't bother pointing out facts which will be immediately hand-waved away as "hyperbole", "deflections" or outright "Russian propaganda". Reminiscences of my (and others') past posts are very much related to the discussed topic because, um, it's exactly the same topic. Feel free to disregard, though. No skin off my back. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
  17. Age verification, methinks. Actually, I think embedding videos circumvents age verification...
  18. And, as usual, pirates will get the best possible version, get to try mods to see if they work as advertised and don't break stuff, before deciding if the product is worth the asking price, not to mention the time spent trying them and making them work. Thanks to the new and improved Steam Workshop, it's not just companies abusing microtransactions — now consumers can nickle and dime the **** out of each other! That's progress, folks. Anyway, Zor is 100% spot on the money, and it's important not to miss the forest for the trees. This is just an attempt by Valve to gain control of and centralize a parcel of gaming that nobody has control over, destroying those who don't want to bend over, and monetizing the rest in the process. Sure does. However, that said adjustments lead to better products, more competition or, more generally, anything remotely good for those involved, is an article of faith.
  19. So, does being this obtuse come naturally to you or are you making a special effort here? You are referring to the act "outlawing Nazism and Communism" passed two weeks ago which also hails UPA as heroes. I got it the first time even though you didn't give links or specifics. Do you think this is some sort of insider knowledge that makes you super informed on the situation on Ukraine or something? Am I supposed to be as excited as you seem to be by this revelation? Welcome to 2014 bro. This is simply the latest example of the Ukrainian government's ties to and stance regarding Ukrainian neo-nazis. You are a year late to the party because precisely how UPA is an organization formed under the auspices of Nazi Germany is something I discussed specifically in the 2014 post I linked to. If you had taken just five minutes to read the post and the thread in general you would have realized how pointless it is to argue with the usual suspects I was also making a reference to, which is the overall point I was making. But for (not-so) Sharp_one, reading is hard.
  20. Oh not much. They just made animals that slaughtered thousands of Polish (including some of my family) and Jewish people their national heroes. You are about a year late to the party, I'm afraid. In addition, from what I've seen, you are in the minority in that opinion, as a Pole. Good luck trying to discuss facts with the usual suspects here, though. You'll need it. Year late? Ukrainian parliament act I'm talking ago was passed on 09.04.2015. I'm also not a minority about being against ukrainian nazis. You seem to know as much on the subject as the FBI director when he accused Poland and Hungary on participation in Holocaust last week. I was referring to the year-old debate about the Ukrainian government being neo-Nazi sympathizers. This went right over your head, it seems, though I'm not really surprised. What's truly flabbergasting is that not even with a link to an old thread where those things are discussed at length, you managed to gather as much. Hey, maybe next year.

  22. Clearly more than they're worth.
  23. ^ Haha, another reason to wait 4 years for them to settle on a final version that, while caving in to the whiners, doesn't violate their "artistic integrity".
  24. I loved that game to bits. What's the point of doing a piece on a game from '97 though? And most importantly, WHY IS IT NOT AVAILABLE ON GOG? As an aside, I did only recently read about their soundtrack licensing problems. Klepacki is once more proven to be DA MAN.
  25. I thought that was you. Hi! I'm simply thinking that, by the time ME4 is released, DAI will have dropped in price enough for me to get around to trying it. Last AAA game I paid full price for was ME3, and I would probably have gone join the Taliban if it wasn't because the silly horde mode multiplayer was surprisingly fun. Hey, who knows. The industry does manage to produce some gems from time to time. Maybe in 6-8 years I'll be celebrating how great ME4 turned out. The excitement I feel at something which may or may not happen more than half a decade down the road is killing me, I'm sure you understand. Yeah, you mean the EMS idiocy, right? Didn't they patch that **** out eventually? That would be a good indication that they learned their lesson, wouldn't it?
