This is why you should only play Melee.

The gameplay actually looks pretty fun for a mobile game.

I personally know a few snipers, and tons of pilots that dropped bombs in OIF/OEF. Seems kinda rude to bring it up though.

Any particular reason?

I prefer actually owning cars. Leasing is good if you don't like caring about your vehicle and are okay with always having a car payment. Buying used has its risks but if it turns out good you won't regret it. Buying used is the best if you have the money and are looking to have a long-term commitment with the vehicle. Also buying  used and new gives you the ability to always sell later on.

I've pretty much eliminated leasing as an option, I was just considering it for a year until some of my loans are gone.

Buying a new car is the worst investment ever, the price of new cars depreciate very quickly.

I don't really see it as an investment for exactly that reason. It's a necessary expenditure for life, and with buying used my concern is that it will depreciate significantly faster because of multiple owners and all that. But the lower cost is appealing.

Having a hard time deciding what route to go. I have a job that pays decently but I also have some loans to pay off.

I know a lot of you are young, but you also know more about cars than I do. Just looking for some advice from personal experience.

Serious / Re: What are your thoughts on schools like this?
« on: January 10, 2015, 03:26:48 PM »
This is vaguely similar to some master's and doctorate programs, where you devise your own thesis and work independently or with a team under a mentor to accomplish it, but the Montessori method is pretty much objectively ineffective in primary education.

People thinking I'm joking lol.

My wife would agree with me. It's her duty as a wife to please me sexually.

I must have missed that in the vows.

The thing that bothers me is you see the American news media reporting abut this and showing some of the magazine covers and cartoons they did, but they're being censored. That defeats the whole point! If you're censoring these cartoons, you're letting the terrorists win!

I wonder if they're just censoring the gory parts. A lot of the cartoons were fairly violent (though I agree they should be published in full).

It wasn't the "tree of knowledge", it was the "tree of knowledge of good and evil". Adam already knew what was good (everything), and very well could have been the smartest person in history, having face to face conversations with an omniscient god, speaking from within the framework of the story.

Knowledge isn't good just because it's knowledge. It wasn't about enlightenment, it was about fucking people over for the hell of it.

Carter is, in my opinion, the least competent president in the past century.

For Destiny 2, I just want to see them fix what they promised to deliver in the first round. No sense in redoing the whole thing.

Do you consider philosophy an essential field of study for a generally well-rounded education, or a mostly defunct school of thought that has very little place in modern academia and industry?

Serious / Re: Try to convince me that morality isn't objective
« on: January 06, 2015, 11:31:24 PM »
It's hard to imagine how anyone could truly subscribe to a subjective morality these days, though I think there are lesser ethical dilemmas that may be handled subjectively, depending on the needs and wants of that society.

Is this the same guy that teleconferenced a speech criticizing the police during a funeral for an officer?

So then why'd you say that?

Well I don't have some grand showstopper of a post, I just thought this might be interesting to continue, in a more serious tone.

I get that a lot of you see all religion as fairy tales, but there's no reason not to have a good talk about what those tales mean, how they affect us, and whether there's any value in them.

As usual, I'm not here to convert anyone, but if you're going to criticize a religion, at least make sure you've got some of the basic premises down.

Maybe nobody will reply and this thread will be dead by tonight. If not, that's great. The Facebook joke above is a good starting point, since the tree the knowledge of good and evil is an interesting topic.

85% is a hell of a good chance, but this is the first world, where you can have access to miraculous healing technology able to cure some of the worst plagues on earth, and still choose to not use it. Because religions.

Is she refusing because she's a JW? I thought she just didn't want to go through the pain of the treatment.

Didn't like four autopsies, including one contracted by the Brown family, confirm Wilson's versions of the event?

Wasn't he speaking at an event that took place after the EURO conference? His name wasn't even on the list of guest speakers the EURO thing.

This just feels like mudslinging.

hm, i didnt know that lucifer was a roman god. this is pretty interesting. thanks for the info

Sorta. The translation of the literal Hebrew phrase "morning star" in the KJV is 'Lucifer'. It wasn't written as an analogue to the Roman god Venus (the planet referred to as the morning star), and the name 'Lucifer' is relatively modern.

The fall of Lucifer was a time in Christian mythology after the War in Heaven ended and Lucifer was cast into the deepest pit of Hell.

This isn't even Christian mythology, this is the pop culture interpretation of the Lucifer story.

Also, no, Paradise Lost isn't catholic canon. Not sure if that was meant to be a joke.

Septagon / Re: Report Sep7agon V2 Bugs or Issues here
« on: January 04, 2015, 10:02:58 PM »
Using the website on mobile via Android standard internet (Chrome).

-The background is too dark, in my opinion
-The profile avatar that should be at the top of the screen loads under the Septagon logo at first, then jumps to the correct position after a brief pause

My biggest issue that I think would be super easy to fix:

Move the 'updated topics' shortcut under the tab with the other forum names. It's always been inconvenient on mobile; on V1 I had to briefly tap and hold on username, then quickly select it from the dropdown menu before my profile page loaded.
