The Flood / Re: Beyond the Sea
« on: November 28, 2014, 03:22:58 AM »
Out of all of all the themes anarchy chose, why did it have to be this one?

You could interpret it as an analogy. Rapture, advertised as where the free can live freely without restriction or moderation. A paradise.

But then you enter Rapture, and... well, you already know what it's like.

Perfect theme choice.

I'm surprised you guys didn't go with Columbia.

Never played that one so I don't know what the theme is about exactly for that one. Same sorta premise I assume?

Similar. Except for the way it ends....

I'm not gonna spoil it. Just play it.
PM me it, or spoiler-tag it here. I have a feeling I won't be playing any console games for a looong time.

The Flood / Re: Would you ever riot?
« on: November 27, 2014, 05:44:18 PM »
It would have to be a damn worthy cause or something the government did seriously bad to piss me off.

And by rioting, I don't mean stealing Tesco-value basmati rice. I'd probably join the rest of the saner rioters and bum-rush the Welsh Assembly or London if it's a more national thing.

The good news for Google is that the vote is pretty much unenforceable and that things will continue exactly as they are.

Aaah, Europe in action at it's finest.

A bit off-topic, Have they enforced the change to ban roaming charges across the EU yet?

If we are really going to get back on topic. I want to know if there is a way that I can donate if I don't have a credit card. I have PayPal and that's about it.

FYI, superior debit cards work too.

THQ going bust.

Pandemic NOT making the last Destroy All Humans game (and then it turned out shit).

Any bullshit regarding promises about BF3 and then BF4.

No mortal that signed up here is going to heaven when they die.

Plot twist: There wasn't one to go to in the first place.

*Becomes the Black Knight*

And no, Dustin you really didn't have to explain these rumours. I didn't know, I didn't care.

And as always...now everyone's involved in this bullshit. Why can't anyone keep their disputes to themselves, Jesus.

I'm going to try and sort something out for tomorrow, I'm not sure what the conversion rate for pounds to USD on there will be but I should be able to get some donated soon.

I've somewhat exhausted the people I can share it with though...
It also helped me realise just how many of the people I talk to nowadays are through here >.>

But I'll keep racking my brain for who else I can send it to <.<
And keep up the good work guys!

According to Google, $10 is £6.36. (So $5 is ~£3.18)

And it's made me realise that Dollars have surprisingly low buying power. $5 would barely get you a cheap student meal or a takeaway here.

So the real thing that I wonder, is how do you break through their walls?

Well, there's your problem...

Breaking through their walls got them mad, and now they fight. They could have started fighting for a cause, and now so wrapped up (and warped-up) in the wider scale of it, that there is no escape.

It's a side-effect of killing, the psychological trauma. While we've been killing each other for thousands of years, it generally goes against the grain of our... morals? human nature? psyche? That sort of thing, anyway... and frankly I think that while for the person it's terrible (even to get that far to kill, and now suffering trauma), it's a good thing we have that "flaw".

If we didn't, killing would mean nothing to us, we would be cold in that regard, and that would mean a much worse scenario on a global scale in general.

Sorry, went mildly off-topic there. While I'm thinking about the OP; "Wow, these people suffer from such things too", I'm now also repulsed that that thought was the first to my mind. It's good that the BBC are at least somewhat impartial in their journalism, otherwise I'd still be thinking that out of sheer ignorance.

Aaaaaaand I've gone mildly off-topic again.

I have a feeling they'll still be getting ridiculously low discounts on that Friday anyway.

Care for a bit of riot looting, anyone? Maybe something reminiscent of the London Riots:

Bloody Britain. I've only seen 3 flavours here and two of them are pretty nasty-tasting. Cheese one is good tho.

Gaming / Re: when kids use the " its only 20% done" arguement
« on: November 26, 2014, 11:25:55 AM »
every time I tell a friend that plays destiny that the game is shit. They use this as an argument. Shit like this wants to make me scream.

Best way to counter it is simply point out if it's only 20% done, why the fuck is it on sale when obviously games are supposed to be 100% to actually fucking work.

Anywho, Densicles do the same BS arguments as any other fanboy on a sinking ship, by defending it with complete illogical nonsense. The same comes from the BF3/4 crowd whenever anything is criticized.

"They'll fix it soon" -retard defending a massive flaw in his broken-ass game.

Serious / Re: A very nice political/social attitudes test
« on: November 26, 2014, 11:13:26 AM »
I'm a... a something!
Quote
Progressivism   82.5
Socialism   56.25
Tenderness   46.875

Your test scores indicate that you are an open-minded ultra-progressive; this is the political profile one might associate with a journalist. It appears that you are skeptical towards religion, and have a balanced attitude towards humanity in general.

Your attitudes towards economics appear neither committedly capitalist nor socialist, and combined with your social attitudes this creates the picture of someone who would generally be described as a liberal.

To round out the picture you appear to be, political preference aside, a considerate realistic centrist with several strong convictions.

It seems like a pretty accurate description imo.

« on: November 26, 2014, 07:05:49 AM »
Not sure what Black Friday entirely is in America, some sort of shopper horde?

But where I live, Black Friday is the last Friday before Christmas, so all the pubs and clubs stay up a bit later than normal and everyone comes out to party. And it just so happens to be on my birthday, so I'm going to get smashed.

What's your goal in life?

To do the best I can in it. It might not mean travelling the world, skydiving whilst simultaneously curing aids and volunteering to build a well in some African village, nor will I go to space and solve world hunger whilst having a threesome.

But if I end up sweeping the streets, I'll sure as hell give myself a reason to smile about it.

All systems can be exploitative, it's just we've had a good run with Capitalism to sustainably exploit it.
(Except for the odd economic meltdown, but it's not on par with the collapse of countries).

Hell, if it keeps Nuka contributing here I consider it a good investment rather than a donation  :D

Besides, my education will cover my student loan in the future anyways...

Kinda busy atm though with lectures, so someone quote this at 5pm so I remember (I've have a horrifically bad, sleep derived memory today so I'll need a memo).

Why universities?

At that age you should be old enough to hold whatever opinions you want (plus you aren't exactly a half-wit to get there, not to imply anything else). Too much moderation will just drive the radicalists underground, making any that are potentially dangerous to anybody harder to monitor and prevent if such a situation arose.

Plus the definition of what is radical and what is A-OK is worrying. If I joined a far left society, am I liable to be arrested for radicalism? It may not be the case now, but with such laws in place it doesn't stop those in power in the future from pushing their thumb on parties to be judged "radical".
The entire POINT of these laws is to suppress dissent, man. First you set the precedent with something universally hated, like Nazism and racism. Then you push and push and propagandize until all the naysayers are locked away.

This is why we cannot afford to give a single inch of ground in the realm of free speech and expression. If you give the statists an inch, they will never stop until they have consumed you.

Well if it was heroic....

Do you want every other title bar to be filled with anime and/or hentai?

Precisely. It was a mere joke.

I really don't care what you put as a bar, but really the incentive to get to legendary and be a constructive member of this community is to earn the custom bar...at least, in theory...
