We’d probably all just awkwardly stand around not saying much tbh
It`s a "Competence" problem, when people have no common topics to talk about, or they can`t add on existing topics. What`s your favorite color by the way?
You mean compatability?
No, I meant "competence" or "nothing to say" problem
That's really not what competence refers to. When a competence issue prevents you from communicating, it's more because you don't fully grasp the language or have mastery in the laws of its dialogue. Particularly having to do with the laws and particulars of dialogue.

A good word might be commonality though, if you're inferring that we have little to talk about.

No competence is the right word

Some people don't pick up on social cues, don't know where to lead conversation, or don't know what not to say
It leads to awkward conversation and eventually silence
I considered that, but it didn't seem like what he was trying to convey.

More like we just don't have much to say to each other than don't know how to say it.

Could be wrong though.

Yeah, you probably right, although I feel if I start to talk about programming patterns, programming languages, usage of bitcoin, future of human race here, etc, no one would understand me. Oh well.
You might be surprised.

Those have all me hallmarks of the Flood for as long as I can remember. We mainly don't discuss them anymore because we have so many times.

Right now now we're having the gun conversation for the billionth time. This is exhausting because we're never going to get any fresh opinions.

nice thesaurus
why would I need a thesaurus to find the word commonality

it's a third grade word
Your entire post reeks of trying too hard.

You especially never use words like that with someone who is struggling with the language, but you wouldn't know anything about that.
No, I wouldn't, because English is the end all and be all of life on earth, and if you want to speak with me, you better anglicize up nigga.

I never thought about myself as gregarious person, maybe it is just because I have no problem with most things in life or maybe I don`t care about life itself

That's how you come off. You're friendly and unassuming, if a bit weird. But you're a weeb on the internet, and that sort of comes with the territory.
Mmm... you probably thought that since I'm weeb I'm some kind of antisocial lonely type... hehe, but I know a lot of people who both watch anime and are social, actually I just had one in my room, we were talking about a lot of stuff, anime included.

If you don't call storming polling places violently forcing a stop to independence, I'm not sure what you would.
I would call that trying to stop an illegal vote with disproportionate force exerted by some police officers. To me, that's still a long way removed from sending in the military to "bring the hammer down" and stamp out the "rebels" looking for independence. And I'm still not convinced that the rest of your comment is substantiated. I disagree that violence is the way out or final conclusion. I think that firearms would only make this situation much, much worse and escalate it to a full blown civil war. One shot it all it takes. In our global society of international scrutiny, Spain can't and won't just massacre these people for dissenting. It would not only cause an international crisis for the country, but it would destroy it entirely. There is no possible outcome I see in which guns would improve anything.
To the Catalans the vote was perfect legal. Its called a declaration of independence, not a request of independence. To Spain the vote was an act of rebellion (which, by definition, it is), so they struck the first blow.

Spain wants to win this war without firing a shot. The more riot police solve this problem the less they have to acknowledge the will of Democracy. Passive resistance is just going to result in them forcing Spain to pull the trigger.

And International scrutiny is laughable as a reason not to go to war. Or are the Spanish inherently more civilized and bashful about being judged than the Russians?

Because it's foolish to put blind faith in the government and to think they only have our best interests in mind. It's not so much a fear of overnight tyranny, but widdling away at our rights little by little until it's too late for everyone.

There's a few things I'm unconvinced by. One, that we're going to see such a response from Spain. Two, that guns would be anything but a detriment in this situation. Three, that the US federal government would go to war with a secceding state and its civilians. Four, that guns would help.
The Spanish government has already responded violently, and so has the American government.

This age is no more civilized than the last.

You owe your fealty first to your neighbour, never forget that.
The Spanish police reacted overly violent against a vote its constitutional court deemed illegal. With the eyes of the world on them and (albeit limited) condemnations of the violence by the EU and UN, I'm not seeing a substantiation that they'll really "bring down the hammer" or violently force a stop to the Catalan search for independence.

And the rest doesn't really address my other comments. I'm not unsympathetic to the idea of an armed population resisting a tyrant, but I'm not convinced that it's a good argument in this case.
If you don't call storming polling places violently forcing a stop to independence, I'm not sure what you would.

If you wait for civil war to break out before you see the need to arm the civilians, you're too late. These days battles aren't fought on fields, they clamber through streets and erupt into homes.

But it's like I said, they're rebels. Why on earth would they respect the rulings of a court they no longer see as having power over them? The Spanish are afraid of the Catalan will, and Washington is afraid of the Americans.

I wish we lived in a world where there was no need to fight wars. Peaceful protest and civil disobedience accomplished a great deal in the 20th century. There's a realist in me too though, and he says that we still live in an era where the majority of conflicts relating to who governs who are solved with bullets.

It could happen to you too.

What makes a killer a terrorist?
political agenda
Yeah this. Political or religious agenda.
I think a better definition would be any person who (regardless of motive)

1) Has no other goal than to take lives, the more the better.
2) Does the killings very publicly, trying to get as much attention as possible - therefore causing most terror

Because, is an assassin of a political figure really a terrorist?
Here's the dictionary definition of a terrorist:
Quote
a person who uses unlawful violence and intimidation, especially against civilians, in the pursuit of political aims.
So an assassin couldn't really be called a terrorist by this definition and I don't think there's anything wrong with the definition.

The only reason so many people are so concerned with whether or not he's a "terrorist", is because of his race (of course).
Is Islam / The Quran political? Is religion political?
Abrahamic religions are intensely political.
Christianity, by design, is not, but somehow it has become insanely politicized by millenia of Popes with political agendas.

Judaism and Islam both have political agendas built into their doctrine, though one is of self preservation, while the other follows the Christian demand to spread their religion to all mankind.

While Jesus taught that this mission is nonviolent, Mohammed taught that should the 'Good News' fall on deaf ears, they should be converted at the tip of the sword. The refusal of this results in being labeled a heathen, and being executed.

Islam also advocates conquest by Muslim nations as a means to spread Islam.

Christianity has... Uh... Been known to do this. A lot.

There is the official Sony Pro controller - funny enough it has the Xbox stick layout. So even Sony knows the superior stick layout since they call it Pro.

YouTube

But Xbox controllers still need AA batteries in order to work when consoles 20+ years ago didn't need them
Really? Mine came with the battery pack. But I always buy floor models.

In 2010, I bought a 360 that still had a copy of ODST in it.

I know it's not really the point of this thread, but I just need to get this off my chest.

If any of you honestly believe that something like what is happening in Catalonia could never happen where you live, you're a fucking idiot.

When Catalonia declares their independence and Spain comes down like a hammer, they're going to either defend themselves or crumble.

The same thing could happen next year in your state. Every time there's an election we get closer to it happening, but you think that because it hasn't happened here in a hundred and fifty years, it won't happen any time soon.

If my local government did secede, I wouldn't want to be caught unprepared. I've seen what the US does to civilians when they go to war.

It isn't pretty.

The game itself is the progeny of Destiny hype. That's the point of this conversation.

No, it isn't. The game came out a year before Destiny's release and was in development before Destiny was even announced. The concepts that make the two ever more similar were introduced before Destiny's mold was known, so it's impossible DE would have known what to copy. It's a coincidence.
The point is that it came out before Destiny. That's the best time to cash in on hype. There's a reason no publisher would pick up Warframe, and it's not because it's a bad game. It's because the industry knew exactly what was coming with Destiny, and didn't want to back a doomed horse. DE even recognized this when the went to self-publish,  and realized the only way they could get the game established without competing against Bungie's juggernaut would be to structure it as F2P.

The fact that Warframe is still around is only a testament to how well they cashed in on that hype.

Oh I see.

You don't get that every cent they make is cashing in on the Destiny hype.

The game itself is the progeny of Destiny hype. That's the point of this conversation.

The part where people decide they like the game enough to spend money on it is the part where they cash in; the hype is what got them playing in the first place.

Oh, and, when you play Warframe without spending money, they're still making money off of you. Yes, you personally.

You'll figure out how eventually.

I have to move out of my Dad's house because he is getting married.
wanna come live with me
Thank you, but I have a place to go.
I have to move out of my Dad's house because he is getting married.
Is it all of a sudden or is did he tell you this ahead of time?
I was told a couple weeks ago that his fiancee was going to move in, and he asked me what I was going to do. I decided that I am moving out, as she and I don't get along very well. She was very passive aggressive and generally rude towards me over something outside of my control recently; in light of that incident I have decided that co-habitation with her wouldn't go well, especially considering she works from home.
What's her name?
Why?

Anywhere on the globe I could locate and eliminate you. You represent little more to me than another shit stained gourd splattering on a wall from a klick out. I've sat quietly while you espoused your religion of memes and picked on people like me and Deci. As we speak, I'm in constant collaboration with Iberian Husky to find you and make you into an example for all the rest of these shit lords.
