It doesn't seem all that complicated to me? I just call people by the pronouns they want. If I call them by the wrong one when we first meet and they want to get pissy about it that's their problem. I'm not psychic.

In my head though I still tend to identify people by their biological sex.

I guess I don't really care enough for it to be a big deal. People are people. Unless you want me to call you a two spirit otherkin we're probably cool.

Now if only they made an rpg.

Difficult to say. Not being alive at the time. World war. Death toll being what it was. Targeting of civilians is rarely justified. If ever. It did ultimately end the war though. Not as if we weren't fire bombing cities, and running internment camps for American citizens at the time. So morals were a bit different back then.

I don't think I'd have done it if it were me tbh. Feel like we probably had better options available. Japan is very dependent on imports hence the reason for their war in the first place. Sinking their navy and a blockade would have left them in a very tight spot. At the very least drop a couple warning nukes of their coast.

? Except transhumanism isn't arguing for "nothing to complain about / ever lasting peace status". Just the advance,end of the species evolution via technology.  ???
the reason many people are transhumanists is because they want to remove all suffering from the human condition

except you can't do that
I wouldn't say that's the reason many are transhumanist at all. That's not been my understanding of it at least. To achieve it you'd have to remove free will which would be hypothetically possible down the line, but the ethics of it would be arguable at the very least. Not to mention it'd require an amount of force.

Naive outlook for those that think that way anyways.

What happens when people are relatively content and secure? What happens when they've nothing too horrid to find some disliking of?

They go loopy. Complain about the small shit. People like to complain.

As a species we're actually quite terrible at finding any sort of lasting peace.
thats called the Hedonic Treadmill, and its the best argument against transhumanism

Eh pretty common. Tumblr's been bitching about that one for years. There's a lot of pathetic snowflakes out there who would moan no matter what options you gave them. Be content with the knowledge that the japs dgaf.

Huh another gta v style narrated trailer.

Game looks quite good and interesting. One of those that if I had more time I'd definitely pick up. Hearing some Aussie accent in there. Can't remember if it was this or the movie that was suppose to be set in 'Murica™. t(-_-t)

Liked it well enough when I played it. Up there for one of the better ones in the series. Eventually got bored of the boat, and land missions were the same stuff in the other games, but at least they let you vote so I could give the follow missions crap ratings.

Enjoyed the story and Edward's character. Selfish bad guy MC just made me want to play as a Templar. Can't be bothered to go back and try rogue tho.

The Flood / Re: Sleep schedule
« on: April 24, 2015, 10:57:42 AM »
When I was young my parents woke up around 4am to get ready for work and would drop me and my sister off at our grandparents house. My grandpa would let me stay up rather than go back to sleep since I never wanted to.

After high school I got a job (some of the weebs will remember the details) that required crazy hours. Everything from 15 hr work days to random surprise night shifts and constantly being on call.

Been fucked ever since. Occasionally I'll get it sorted for a month where I wake up at 5am and go to bed at 9-10pm, but it usually doesn't last long. Probably a bit genetic as well since neither my old man or his dad sleep/slept well.

Largest entertainment industry in the world and still booming. It's only going to get worse the bigger it gets. Money to be made. Which is fine by me really.
Hole up with my backlog of niche weeb games, have a pint, and wait for this to all blow over.
You're much too young to have a pint.

Serious / Re: Korean "comfort woman" demands apology from japan
« on: April 24, 2015, 06:47:13 AM »
Japan hasn't really been repentant over what they did in the interwar and world war two years, to the point of straight up revisionist history books. At the same time expecting individual apologies for every minor* war crime when japan is quite happy to piss into the wind over major ones, it's a bit of a long shot.

*Minor as in forced prostitution =/= the sacking of nanking, occupation of manchuria, Ayylmaonanasanichibutaitime (731部隊), and the whole death railway farce they had going on.

Should they apologise? Yup. Will they? Unlikely.
Except they already have. One of their prime ministers personally/officially apologized and they paid war reparations years ago. Crazy jap politicians are actually looking at reviewing that apology as a political stunt.

There are definitely revisionists out there on the jap side, but on the Korean side as well. None of this is really news. Japan and Korea hate each other with a passion. Hilarious to watch them literally call each other gooks tho.
Oh right >.>

Well I stand corrected then <.<
Which PM was it?

Once again tb is the voice of reason in a sea of spurg. Suggest watching the entire vid. He covers both angles quite well while giving the positives and negatives.

YouTube


Personally I just can't see myself paying for a mod for largely the same reasons I would never buy into early access. Hell these days I can barely trust professional devs much less some kid on his laptop. Valve taking a 75% cut for doing nothing, and people stealing and monetizing mods others created is moronic tho.

Around 5, but mostly active for the last two. On and off for the rest. Played the games since the CE and Xbox launch.
Could we please stop referring to ourselves as "the bungie community" since we've kinda disowned them.
