Oh, somebody already wrote that.

We don’t know it he’s a pedophile (strictly speaking that’s not a crime), but he surely is a child rapist which is the problem.

I absolutely hate malls in Russia. I’d prefer them all demolished and replaced with grass, but this seems a valid option too.

It’s generally not the usual police doing that stuff. Mostly RG.

“Only we can do that”.

It’s the other way around for me, wanted to play in Star Wars KotOR setting, one time one guy showed up (but only over voice call), another time my buddy agreed to play.

Then wrote something in one DM’s setting, only that DM showed up, said the quest was actually cool with good ideas yadda-yadda and mentioned it on another game, and later reused some of the moments in his own ones.

But me coming to other DMs’ games seems welcomed.

Was told I had to form my own group and write my own adventures.

I think they didn’t like you or your way of playing busted something in the quest their DM wrote, or something like that.

Just today was looking for a seamless tile of grass for desktop background (decided to just use solid color, because eyes get tired looking at separate grass blades, though), spent like 15 minutes. On that.

Considering that most of you guys began to say Armenian genocide only after it lost any usefulness whatsoever for Armenians to prevent its continuation, it’s kinda boring to see such arguments.

Governments should in general have no say on such matters.

People elect officials for particular posts and decision-making powers for their own country. In clearly defined roles!

But somehow outside their country they may raise their stink on every random issue, without any constraints. And their stink somehow is considered.

This is the same as Artsakh “being recognized as part of Azerbaijan” by hybrids of pigs and jackals who don’t have any right to talk on behalf of Artsakh.

You mean…I might finally be able to play that game?!? Hurray!

Once a couple weeks I go somewhere to play it or similar games. Can’t follow, feel awkward, get sensory overload and a headache, get terribly tired, come home depressed over a wasted day.

That is, once in 3-5 games I feel that maybe it wasn’t that bad.

Depends.

That instead of macros for code generation, templates and just using higher-level languages.

Again, plausible bullshit isn’t suitable.

It is suitable when you’re the one producing the bullshit and you only need it accepted.

Which is what people pushing for this are. Their jobs and occupations are tolerant to just imitating, so they think that for some reason it works with airplanes, railroads, computers.

It’s bloody amazing, here I am, having all my childhood read about 20/80, critical points, Guderian’s heavy points, Tao Te Ching, Sun Zu, all that stuff about key decisions made with human mind being of absolutely overriding importance over what tools can do.

These morons are sticking “AI”'s exactly where a human mind is superior over anything else at any realistic scale and, of course, could have (were it applied instead of human butt) identified the task at hand which has nothing to do with what “AI”'s can do.

I mean, half of humanity’s philosophy is about garbage thinking being of negative worth, and non-garbage thinking being precious. In any task. These people are desperately trying to produce garbage thinking with computers as if there weren’t enough of that already.

Not as hot as it was, but I’d prefer more wind.

It’s not a war, it’s a safari.

I mean, other than surveillance and control, this allows them to feel their power.

It’s not childish. This is just the appearance because people are not afraid of “stupid” politicians as much as they should be.

In fact all these changes are consistent and all in one direction.

Information is power, and all these actions create a system where you can’t avoid being identified and visible in everything you do. Then the people in power, if you somehow threaten that power, may assure that you won’t anymore without any open repression, without jailing you or murdering you or even censoring you. You just won’t get anywhere near visibility or power to affect the world, and it will all seem pretty natural and chaotic, so you won’t even see your path being corrected so that you wouldn’t affect politics.

You can’t hide forever and eventually you’ll be cornered and will have to fight back. It’s always better to have the initiative in choosing the field of battle. If you hide until you are cornered, it’s your enemy who has that initiative.

Humanity is smart, those making such laws 1) want the information collected by identifying people, not to forbid porn, 2) just hate autistic people. Because non-autistic teenagers will find something. But then, TBH, autistic ones too.

Hitting someone’s head with effort repeatedly is in general attempted manslaughter, no?

Humans are not battle droids. This action has a sufficiently big probability to result in death.

No, but they don’t see those unarmed (uniform counts as “arms” here too) as equal to them. It’s human psychology. Also you may read up on psychology of war crimes and what makes a combatant shoot up a civilian car.

If you’ve done fencing (be it with rapiers or with carolingian swords as LARPers do), you know the feeling, it’s a very basic instinct.

The hammer and nail saying also rings right, if you take a hammer and weigh it in your hand, you’ll feel differently. Or an axe. Or a dog’s lead with roulette, try to hold it half a meter from the roulette itself and weigh it, it too feels like a weapon.

It’s such a cool thought I’ve had this morning. Basic human instincts tell us that for a sane society all free people should bear arms. Not necessarily something fitting to shoot up a school. But means to fight for yourself and resist.
