A hundred billion years.

Sounds stupid as fuck, and good thing it's not canon. The series is constantly being butchered.

It is canon. Unless you're one of the bungie purists that doesn't accept anything made by Ensemble, 343i or anyone that isn't bungie as canon. In which case, I feel sorry for you.

I don't, because it's turning Halo's lore into fantasy bullshit of stupid proportions.

Break the law - pay the price. Sucks, but it is what it is.


I'd agree if the court had said it was for punitive damages, which are intended as a punishment. The damages were strictly emotional, meaning the two women supposedly suffered $135,000 in emotional pain, yet the bakery owners lost their business and reputation.
I really don't know how one determines cost of intangible damages. If that's what the judge found to be fair, I guess that's what is fair. Burning down a house or totaling a car? Yeah, we can measure that. No idea how emotional distress and such works.

But apparently the owners thought fighting for their "right" to discriminate against customers was worth the risk, so I hardly feel bad for their loss.

Except no laws were broken and they have a right to refuse customers. You're terrible human being for wishing them ill.

A 2007 Oregon law protects the rights of LGBT people in employment, housing and public accommodations. It provides an exemption for religious organisations, but the agency ruled that exemption does not allow private businesses to discriminate against potential customers.

You're probably not feeling anything because you're in shock. It might take a few hours, or days to sink in. Differs for people.

I'm sorry to hear that.
The worst part of dealing with death is that you eventually get used to it.
Yep. My step brother hanged himself when I was younger. I've never seen a body so pale before.

Didn't touch him at the funeral. I was afraid how it'd feel. I was crying like an idiot though, so eh. No touchy would have helped.

When you see a body in real life, it's much different and more surreal/blunt than they always make it in movies or shows and what not.

Halo, no offense but Mass Effect is one of the hilarious and weakest sci fi games out there. If it was Halo vs Warhammer then its a completely different story since Warhammer is (VERY SUPER OP) compared to Halo.

Unless it's Precursors and Forerunners (Lol even Forerunners) vs Warhammer. Then it'd be far less than a curbstomp. Hell the Forerunners by themselves would wreck a hell of a lot of shit before something in the upper echelon of Warhammer fights back.

lol, the necrons would like to disagree with you, they are basically very hard to kill and can still kick ass even if they're down, the Forerunners would be stomped by them, and since they're non organic, they can't be affected by the Halo Rings, which means that the forerunners would be dead anyways. Now going against the Precursors would be very interesting.
The Halo rings can actually be dialed down to kill planets, as seen in one of the books. (Cryptum I believe?)

You're right, I almost forgot about that. But that would mean it's only the chaos gods and their armies to deal with (since they live in a another dimension) and they can wipe out the forerunners with no problem.
Forerunners kick ass in the conventional warfare aspect. But they'll have to cry to their parents the Precursors when shit gets hairy with the non-conventionals.

I thought the Forerunners kick the Precursors ass?
From my understanding, the Precursors let them. Of course, some went to hiding then came back as Floodcursors.

I mean seriously, these are older-than-our-universe beings who's idea of fun is creating galaxies worth of life and things and degrading themselves so they can experience the ride.

They're essentially bored almost omniscient beings. I highly doubt that the Precursors playing with the Milky Way galaxy were the only ones out there.

There is literally zero evidence to even remotely suggest that the Precursors are older than our universe. Like, zero evidence. The most concrete shit on them is that they're millions of years old, but nothing even close to multiple billions.
Books and wikis would like a talk with you.

I think there was a mistake here, the Precursors are probably older than our galaxy, I find it difficult to believe they were around before the universe popped into existence, no matter what they could do.
-Halopedia
Quote
They were an incredibly advanced race of beings who explored many galaxies and seeded them with life over the course of many billions of years. As transsentient beings, they existed on an abstract level beyond that of conventionally sapient biological organisms. They were not tied to any particular physical form, assuming any shape as they saw fit; they would allow themselves to die away and be evolved anew over and over again, taking on numerous incarnations both physical and immaterial. They lived through different stages of technological and cultural development countless times, being at times hyper-advanced and spacefaring and at others living primitively and remaining confined to their worlds.[7] The Precursors based their existence around the philosophical concepts of the Mantle, Living Time, and a meta-technological mechanism known as neural physics, which enabled them to manipulate the fabric of the universe. According to the philosophical aspect of neural physics, the universe itself is a living entity, though vastly different in nature and scale from organic beings.[8] The Precursors' stewardship for all life involved the belief that all experience of biological organisms enriched the greater, universal whole,[9] something they experienced firsthand through the constantly changing nature of their own existence. To contain their vast knowledge and experience the Precursors created the Domain, a transcendent quantum reservoir of information later accessed by the Forerunners.[10]

The Precursors were responsible for seeding the Milky Way with life, creating the galaxy's diverse composition of species. Over time, they would also judge whether a species was worthy of the Mantle, their assumed role of guardianship of all life. The humanoid species native to the world of Ghibalb, who would come to be known as the Forerunners, were next chosen for this task. This species was eventually judged to be unworthy of taking on the Mantle and the Precursors instead decided that the responsibility would fall on the shoulders of another of their creations; a collection of species referred to as humanity, hailing from the planet known as Erde-Tyrene. When the Precursors announced their decision to the Forerunners around 10,000,000 BCE, the latter furiously retaliated against their creators and drove them to near-extinction, first in the Milky Way and eventually in the satellite galaxy of Path Kethona; only a small number managed to escape the Forerunners' campaign of extermination. According to the Precursors themselves the Forerunners struck against their creators unprovoked,[11] while certain Forerunners who learned the truth later on insisted that the Precursors had planned to wipe out the Forerunners first.

Except Halopedia does NOT back up this claim with any lore anywhere, it's just pulled out of their ass. And many billions =/= older than the universe. Whoever wrote this on the Precursors did a piss poor job, considering they are at most mentioned to be millions of years old, and never billions. The most I've ever seen with actual, substantial lore is millions, spoken by a Precursor himself, and not just a wild guess thrown into a wikipedia article.

Or Halo vs Culture. Warhammer. Or the Culture especially because there isn't a game on them.

Again:
Here's the thing. You can change the body to suit the mind, but you can't change the mind to suit the body. You can cure dysphoria and have a perfectly normal, happy and functioning individual.

If you're thinking of "cures," the cure is allowing the person to transition if they want to. It's not something that should be forced, but it shouldn't be a massive obstacle either.

Yes, this.
So if you're for allowing people to transition, then why do you seem so hostile towards everything? You give off the impression that you're against it all even if you're not.

Or maybe I'm just too used to people being against it all and I'm reading in the wrong tone. I don't even know anymore.

Dunno, maybe you're just used to people being against it.

Yeah, if you're not an ignorant asshole.

Nah, if you're an ignorant asshole you just let them suffer with dysphoria instead of being honest about it and trying to solve it. Yes, cuddle their feelings so they can suffer a little less than finding an outright cure.

Yeah. Having your biological wiring fucked up is not normal, and you're lying to yourself if you think it is. If it would be normal for nature to make males who want to be females and vice versa, we wouldn't be having this conversation. But that's not the case, is it?
Please define your use of "normal"

do you mean "occurring in a majority of people" or do you mean "occurring naturally"?

Both.
Then you're fucking wrong.

That's why transgender people struggle with depression, right? That's why it's completely normal and "natural", right?

You're fucking stupid AND wrong.
Who said something natural was always happiness and rainbows and sunshine?

Hm, I guess terrible diseases are okay and normal, too. Ya know, like Harlequin-type ichthyosis. Yeah, we shouldn't look for a cure or solution for that at ALL
