On a more serious note, Democracy is a popularity contest after all, it's working exactly as intended.

So, do you think you guys would like this format, or nah? I might try post-commentary next time.
You do have a nice voice for this kind of thing. Seeing you in action makes me really excited for how you'll be playing by end game, there's lots of little optimizations you can make to your playstyle that speedup combat. real spoilers hype for beavis and butthead given his reaction to multiple enemies.

It's better to just reduce your exposure over time; going cold turkey feels like shit but drifting towards softcore and ultimately wiping your porn folders works just fine.

So, does Barack Obama know what he's doing?
Yes. That's why he's doing the things that he's doing.

No big deal either way, and no one would flip out if the genders were reversed. This is a non-story.
Here's the same site criticizing men who have bought escorts, broadly denouncing them as "not real men".
Here's The Atlantic, a bastion of progressive liberalism, arguing that escort services are worse than simple prostitution.
Here's another article from The Atlantic detailing a similar story to the OP, basically a romanticized retelling of a journalists night out with a male escort.
I like how SecondClass completely ignores this.
You'd be hard pressed to find him following up on his trash tier opinions when anyone challenges him with facts. This isn't anything new with him.
Doesn't that defeat the point of posting in serious?

Is it really that hard to wear a cute dress or a non-slutty skirt?

I wouldn't mind having some occasionally, but damn would it be boring only eating that.

I rolled solider in 1 but found sentinel to be far more fun than soldier in 2. So many combat options.

If you were spanked as a child, do you honestly believe it made you into a better person? If so, why?
Asking nobody in particular, in case someone isn't comfortable with answering.
My dad used a decent sized wooden spoon; I can't remember what I did that made him use it but I remember being terrified of it, which certainly made me more disciplined and cautious. I don't blame him at all though, he's been working different shitty manual labor jobs for decades straight and always gets fucked over by incompetent managers and corruption (highlights from his latest job involve management ignoring his warnings about a lack of securely storing money; eventually some guys broke into the site, found the safe containing the day's profits, and simply ripped the safe off the wall and strolled out; there's no cameras or anything because upper management likes to drop by and collect a "tax free bonus" every now and then). He's lived his whole life putting up with people ignoring everything he says and realized that the best thing to do is just take action and let that speak for itself - he's never once said how hard he has to work for us but we all know it because we'd be in the poor house without him.

[quote author=Cadenza link=topic=55969.msg1131718#msg1131718 date=1454523884I just find it laughable that when given the chance of deciding who could be the next president, people can leave it to a coin toss.
It's not. One caucus =/= the entire thing, and there are only 15 states out of the 50 that use caucus's. The rest are just walk in and pull.
And Iowa has always had this one off decision for a lot of people, especially republicans.
I'm not saying it is; I'm saying I find it funny that an important decision is being left to chance. The fact that it's only a small part of the primaries which are themselves a small part of the election doesn't change that. There were six tie breakers between Sanders and Clinton, and they were all decided with a coin toss. It was either that though or the people there being disenfranchised. No one said democracy was perfect.
From what I've gathered, at a caucus people can convince others to chance their vote right? all they had to do was have a discussion, but instead they do something silly. I don't expect perfection or anything close to it from democracy, but decision by coin toss does defeat the point of voting.

Everybody is starting to workout out of nowhere and I'm just here like "been there done that" haha
On the bright side my dad's finally taken the hint and started working out, hopefully my brother will as well soon.

lol Iowa
That is all.
Clearly you don't know the meaning of a caucus and an undecided
I understand it's odd, but caucus's are literally different than anything else in our election process. We're talking about a place you go and bundle into groups as democrats and people come over to you going "ayy lmao, so wanna cum over here and support this one?"
It's not "lol democracy" because it's about as democratic as you get in this country.
But what people also need to understand, is that every form of government has its flaws. This is obviously democracies.

Even when put that way, it's still a bit wrong. Ethics also includes honesty, that you're not falsifying or skewing your data and that you're not stealing it from someone else. It's a continuous process that, out of necessity, must encompass each step of the process if it's to be followed. That make sense; it completely slipped my mind that not being a fraud is a question of ethics.
I figure it's not as prominent in different fields, so there's probably a bunch of folks who don't need to consciously think about it, because it's just second nature.
I'm heading into the maths/physics/comp sci fields, so a lot of my time is spent coming up with proofs and going over other people's proofs, so for me the assumption is "If I've gone over your proof and it checks out, then I'll trust you"
There's a right way and a wrong way to go about explaining that. Uh... you chose the wrong way >.>
Yep, full responsibility for that screw up. Alright, points taken. I apologize.
I deserve some of that blame too. I wasn't very... constructive. Thank you.
Welp, that's what happens when I try to post at 1am. Here's something a little more in-depth.
That looks quite exciting to read. I'm not even sure how this relates to the original discussion. Obviously we all understand the scientific method and the arguments of the past two pages have largely been pointless. Meta originally stated that more information leads to better decision making, as if that justifies unethical science. I responded that gathering information isn't the ultimate goal of science, and it spiraled into irrelevance.
There has yet to be a meaningful discussion about Meta's original thesis. Yeah, I am sorry for derailing the thread; it's an interesting topic but I don't have much to say beyond bague agreement with meta.
Cadenza: "Think axiomatically, the simplest kind of science is just the maths behind science, that's your foundation, then once you have your foundation you build it up and add new details, ethics being added when you start considering living things. But that was my point, you add the ethics afterwards, it's a correction not an axiom."
Math isn't a science, at least by typical academic standards. The idea that science has to be removed of bias and is therefore devoid of ethics is nonsense -- our justice system also strives to be impartial but is, itself, literally a system of ethics. The scientific method itself is an example of ethics applied to science.
Maths is my biggest area of expertise so it really biases my thinking; As kupo pointed out, only accepting data that hasn't been faked is an axiom itself, but it slipped my mind entirely since I effectively never come across things like. So there's probably a few other similar assumptions I'm making without realizing it.

Because he's not running anymore.Republican Senator Rand Paul has dropped out of the race for US president after a disappointing fifth place finish in the Iowa caucuses.
Mr Paul often clashed with his Republican rivals over their hawkish views on foreign policy and their support of government surveillance.
He ended his bid in part to focus on his re-election to the US Senate.
He is seen as representing the Libertarian wing of the party, which promotes individual rights and privacy.
"Across the country thousands upon thousands of people flocked to our message of limited government, privacy, criminal justice reform and a reasonable foreign policy," he said.
"Although, today I will suspend my campaign for president, the fight is far from over."
Mr Paul, an ophthalmologist, represents Kentucky in the US Senate and is the son of former Congressman Ron Paul, who ran for president several times.
He has said in the past he is the right candidate to "stand up to both the right and the left".
Last year, a Time magazine cover labelled him "the most interesting man in politics".
There are now 10 Republicans left in the White House race, down from the original 17.
The 52-year-old hoped to gain the attention of young people hoping for change but was ultimately overshadowed by billionaire businessman Donald Trump.
Mr Paul is known for holding up the Senate floor for nearly 13 hours to delay the nomination of John Brennan as CIA director because of his opposition to the Obama administration's use of drone strikes against terrorists.
He also was criticised last year when he said vaccines could give children "profound mental disorders". He later said his children are immunised.
Mr Paul was passionate about criminal justice reform, saying the US needs to "break the cycle of incarceration for non-violent ex-offenders".
He was praised for level-headed debate performances, but ultimately was hurt by his non-interventionist polices after terrorist attacks in San Bernardino, California and Paris.
Mr Paul had trouble raising money for his campaign, as well, not attracting wealthy donors flocking to candidates like Marco Rubio, Jeb Bush and Ted Cruz.
With such a large field of candidates, underperforming Republican candidates are under increasing pressure to drop out of the race.
Former Governor of Arkansas Mike Huckabee dropped out on Tuesday as votes were being cast in Iowa.
