FTR I do use a persona. Although sometimes I feel it feeds back into my actual life.

I see you also saw that thread on Pol.

Take some fucking drugs like the rest of us and stop moping, you Scottish wanker.

Dicks out, lads.

Why the fuck do your weapons look like they were painted by a 13-year-old boy and why the fuck are the weapon placements marked with a green icon.

They fucking ruined this franchise.

As in, do you deliberately inflate/exaggerate aspects to your personality, or just flat-out make them up?

Obviously we pretty much all do this to some degree; we're always filtering information about ourselves, but I mean do you make a sustained and conscious effort?

telling people what they can't (or "shouldn't," which is code for "can't") wear is just as oppressive as any mandate

. . .

Not when it comes to a police force.

It was pretty tough on insanity for me.

what's the difference between hardcore and insanity? like, a step or a huge lunge?

because hardcore wasn't all that difficult; the only time i downed the difficulty was fighting kai leng, because fuck him

I could've went with any other example, though. Today, video games are "worth" 60 USD. Why? Says who? By whose authority, and why should I trust their opinion? Why should I care about their opinion? Maybe I think they're only worth $50.

The price mechanism is simply the most efficient way of aggregating the extent to which people value a given thing in a certain unit.

Nobody claims it is universal, or flawless. Central planners are simply incapable of assigning "value" in an optimal way, regardless of what you think a video game is worth.

I mean, economics is an exceedingly easy field to reject without having any real understanding of it. Simply because it contacts with philosophy and politics.

The empirics of economics might run counter to strongly held convictions, but what gives the right to outright reject them? There are real, practical implications for human well-being that come from the conclusions of economic work, but what gives the right to reject them on some ideological basis?

Evidence doesn't care about your convictions.

do you want to die?

Orders for British manufacturing exports hit a two-year peak in August following a Brexit-induced fall in sterling, as the weaker pound also pushed up price expectations to their highest in over a year, a survey showed on Tuesday.

The Confederation of British Industry said its measure of overall factory orders dipped slightly in August to -5. But that beat a median forecast of -9 in a Reuters poll of economists, and export orders improved to -6 from -22, their highest since August 2014.

Manufacturers were more optimistic as output expectations for the next three months rose to +11 from +6 in July.

Supporters of Britain's departure from the European Union have argued that a post-referendum decline in sterling was likely to help the economy, while opponents say the outcome of the June 23 vote could tip the country into recession.

Economists cautioned against reading too much into the CBI survey.

Samuel Tombs, at Pantheon Macroeconomics, said export orders had jumped in August in the past two years only to fall back in September, and the overall reading from manufacturing was consistent with stagnation in output.

Allan Monks at JP Morgan said the survey suggested the economy was set for a sharp slowdown but not a recession.

Anna Leach, CBI Head of Economic Analysis and Surveys, said stronger-than-expected manufacturing output growth and some signs that the fall in sterling was helping to bolster export orders were positives.

"But the pound's weakness is a double-edged sword, as it benefits exporters but also pushes up costs and prices," she said.

The CBI said average prices that manufacturers expected to charge over the next three months rose to +8 in August from +5 in July, their highest since February 2015.

The survey reinforced recent data showing inflation gathering pace after Brexit, highlighting the challenge the Bank of England might face in trying to stimulate the economy while price pressures pick up.

Separate data on Tuesday added to signs that consumers have shrugged off the outcome of the referendum, at least for now.

Grocery sales in Britain saw their fastest rise since March, according to industry data, while British housebuilder Persimmon said it had seen a jump in reservations by buyers of new homes over the last two months.

Data published last week showed retail sales jumped in July.

However, Brexit is expected to hurt consumer spending over time as the economy slows, inflation picks up and uncertainty over Britain's relationship with the EU weighs on investment and hiring decisions.

It's a more polite way of telling someone their tattoo looks like shit.

fuck you man
