I'll vote in local elections and referendums when they come up.

Mothers inherently deserve the kid more than fathers, unless they've proven to be bad at parenting.
Most of them are.
Purely anecdotal but I can tell you that my mom was a huge fuckup of a parent and pretty much did nothing but harass my father and I for a good while over anything she could. I'm not sure if my personal experience is in anyway reflective of a trend though.

Many of the country's estimated 2.7 million Native Americans live in federally recognised tribal areas which are plagued with unemployment, alcoholism, high suicide rates, incest and other social problems.
This problem comes back to the tribe and people themselves. Natives just have a genetic problem with alcoholism, every one of my Native friends (and no this isn't an observation based off my own personal experiences, its a known fact) I grew up with has grown up to have a drinking problem and their parents had drinking problems. Its no ones responsibility to handle that. As far as the poverty, besides the alcoholism, that's more related to the hierarchy of the tribes themselves. The "chieftans" more like CEOs and other higher ups horde all the money the tribe makes from casinos and what not and doesn't distribute it to the other tribal members. I've had a few family members that have worked in the accounting departments of the Chickasaw and Seminole tribes.
So no I don't have any fucking sympathy for them when they do it to themselves.
How is the issue of corruption within their communities, genetic problems with alcoholism and social problems not something which should be helped? They're human beings like you and me.
Ah see but then you're doing exactly what Mr. Charlie here is bitching about. We'd be "forcing" our culture and laws upon them and "infringing" upon their independence if we came to the rescue to stop the tribal corruption. Their situation is a direct result of a lack of the so called "EBIL WHITE DEVIL'S LAWS AND CULTURE." But as far as their genetic alcoholism goes that's not our problem in the same sense its not our problem if a white, black, or Asian man in this country is an alcoholic.
When did Charlie say something like that? Also, how is a genetic problem among a portion of the population not a problem that we need to resolve?
How the fuck do you plan on fixing a genetic problem? Please do tell because obesity would like to speak to you. Doesn't matter because its simply not the federal government's problem
His whole spiel has been how we supposedly abuse the Natives in modern times when the only ones abusing them is themselves.
Medical treatment for alcoholism, what else? Also, me being a fat fuck has nothing to do with this. People don't choose to be in poverty they fall into it as a result of circumstances.
Circumstances imposed upon them by their own people. Once again its not the state's responsibility to provide treatment for alcoholics.
Why shouldn't the state provide social services to help those who need a hand? I don't see a problem with that.
Because that's simply not the role of the federal government in society but that's really getting offtopic from the OP and there are a plethora of threads in Serious where I've discussed this already.
Threads where you spew Ayn Rand quotes and Libertarian talking points won't prove anything.
Libertarianism is the only correct ideology in this world :^)
Depends on what branch of it you're referring to I guess. There probably are very valid points made by them.

]People did that. Not Islam. In fact, Islam had and has very little to do with science.
As for the poverty bullshit, explain to me why rich Saudis are the ones funding the terrorism?
Bad choice of words. What I meant was people of Islamic faith were the ones making advancements in science and medicine and the hub of it all what an Islamic city. It's just odd how it went entirely backwards.
Uncovering knowledge from looted Greek and Roman documents is not making advancements.
If you're going to seriously say that the Islamic Golden Age civilization did nothing beyond preserving Greco-Roman texts for the world then you need to pick up a history book
I didn't mean to say they preserved the texts so much as they mostly just took credit for what was in them :^)
And calling it an "Islamic" golden age is misleading as fuck. Islam had little to do with any actual discoveries made.
The Arab world during the European dark ages made massive strides in mathematics and medicine there is no denying this. I wasn't trying to say that Islam was responsible.

Both sites are shit in their own unique ways. 4chan is useful for anonymous conversations and is a much more raw environment but at the same time is ridden with cancerous shitposting and spam. Tumblr while it may have a lot of sick weirdos and political extremists allows you to filter out content you want to see and don't want to see.

That games does actually look interesting. Have you played it yet? Not the full game. I was skeptical at first, but the whole concept is actually pretty cool, I think, so I think I might have to purchase it sometime.
See?

Here, listen to the theme I've been obsessing over. I think it mixes 8bit and modern sounds so well together that it doesn't just come off as another generic 8bit song.

Yes, because the gaming industry needs more hipster pet project indie games. Like Steam isn't already flooded with those. No one's talking about hipster pet project indie games. The indie scene is rife with unoriginality and laziness--that's why so many of them are trying to cash in on the 8-bit retro-craze right now--because it's easy. It's not creative.
So, yeah, that's not relevant.
And besides, even with the 8-bit crap, there's still diamonds in the rough here and there.
This Undertale game is getting rave reviews.

I get your whole artistic vision thing, but it isn't really applicable because it isn't used that way.
Never been used =/= can't be used.
You people lack the imagination the industry needs.

60fps objectively provides a smoother image and a more fluid game, quicker response time, button input, and visual feedback.
These are things you can't deny.
Yeah. I can't, and I never have. However, I can still argue that none of these things are objectively "good".
If you enjoy any of those things, that's just your opinion. Your preference.
It's okay to have preferences--it's not okay to state your preferences as facts.
The fact that 60+ FPS is superior to 30 FPS isn't a personal preference.
1073
« on: October 10, 2015, 07:37:47 PM »
60 is better than 30
Because that's the meaning we gave the numbers Not if you have a reason to opt for 30 instead. I literally just came up with a reason.
The only reason 60 is considered "better" is because a lot of people like it. But that doesn't make it objectively better.
It creates what is objectively a smoother experience.
1074
« on: October 10, 2015, 07:31:17 PM »
i don't see how it can be used in an artistic sense but okay What artistic purpose would a developer have to make a game only run at 30 frames? Maybe a developer wants to make a game that will evoke irrational anger into the player, and one of the methods he uses is to implement 30fps, partially because he knows a lot of gamers prefer 60, and partially to prove the thematic point that people shouldn't get irrationally angry over such stupid shit.
For that purpose, 30fps is objectively better than 60fps.
I could think of any number of artistic purposes, but the point is, there ARE artistic purposes.
At the end of the day, frame rate is just a number. Numbers can be higher and lower than each other, but they cannot be "better" or "worse" than each other.
What would even be the point in something like that? It wouldn't invoke any irrational anger in anyone they'd just stop playing it if they didn't like how the game was capped at 30 frames.
1075
« on: October 10, 2015, 07:23:42 PM »
60fps is objectively best
Not if you have an artistic purpose to have 30fps.
Then it can't be objectively better.

It is objectively worse though. nope
i was just given a new reason to hate 60fps:
it makes in-game events easier to react to
LOL CASUAL
There is no hope for you is there?
1078
« on: October 10, 2015, 07:18:15 PM »
It's not a big fucking deal this is kinda my whole point at its roots
frame rate is not a big deal--the only people who treat it like it is are people like CIS Scum who think everything that isn't 60fps is objectively worse
it's not "odd" or "childish" to tell him that he's wrong
It is objectively worse though.

« on: October 10, 2015, 07:15:38 PM »
I just said it made some aspects of it harder. Verb please just be quiet about it. It's really getting annoying. i was agreeing with you though
No, you're not. I said some aspects of 60fps make the game harder from the original it was.
Your personal vendetta against it is just very odd and childish. I get you don't like it, but this constant shoving opinion of it down others throats just has to stop.
The same for all of you really. It's not a big fucking deal, this is as autistic as the console war crap.
But it's fun to sling shit at each other over our tastes in video games.
