and to address the inevitable 'why is this still here?'
As crass as midget's OP is, he's still bringing up a point of discussion (Cultural relativity) so whilst he could probably do with dropping a few of the 'niggers and apes' references, there is still something to discuss under the list of topics suited for serious.
His argument falls apart because not everyone from those cultures fails to assimilate. Most western countries are melting pots where everyone adds the better parts of their background and discard the rest.
Example: do you like Doritos? A Mexican brought flavored corn chips to General Foods. To hear him talk, he sounds as American as anyone. There was pushback to the Irish at the turn of the century. Like Rock or Country music? It can be traced back to Irish folk music. Drawing a line at any point steals from our children.
And he is a goosestepping cunt, and I do hope he takes a walk off a tall building
I'm not saying his argument is any good, I'm saying it brings up a point for discussion.
This is a discussion of it, which is a good thing because people getting caught in their own echo chambers doesn't exactly lead to anything positive.
The thing is, in serious you are meant to do so without calling someone a cunt, regardless of your opinion of them.
So I hate to do it, but considering you were given the verbal/edit for the first strike rather than an immediate timeout from serious - and you then did it again...
Guess what I have to do now?
You can return to the thread tomorrow and continue the argument with midget/das etc if you wish, but try to refrain from calling someone a cunt in serious again. It's fine in the flood, not in here.
YOU'RE A CUNT HARRY

I do love the logic in people's minds that tells them that the way to nurture a small fragile little creature is to violently shake it until it has brain damage.

Reverse natural selection
It's like reverse psychology except it kills your baby
Well that would be normal natural selection though, by killing off your own offspring you end your genetic line.
Except the dumber creature is the one who lives
Natural selection isn't really concerned with one idiot living a long life, it's to do with whether or not said idiot leaves progeny.

These work best if you start with a subtly incorrect scale and then work your way up to a reasonably believable one.
'Jurassic park came out 22 years ago' for example

Yeah, I got it for PC during the Black Friday sale and I'm loving the shit out of it.
What I do to speed the start up is to go to New Vegas (surprisingly easy if you know the path) right off the bat with 10 Luck to steal all the money from the casinos.
But
Boone
Unless I'm missing something, you can pick up Boone along the way because the safe path to New Vegas involves traveling through Novac.
And here I thought you were referring to the way to run through Cazador hell.
I wouldn't recommend it for new players of course but if you know how to climb in bethesda games you can make it through most of that initial section without them even touching you. Then when you get to the raider farm, you are on the home stretch because you can lure aggro'd deathclaw/cazadors into other enemies there instead of them all just ganking you.
Takes about 5-10 minutes depending on your SPECIAL/traits/perks etc
Aren't you skipping like half of the game? What's the rush to go to New Vegas?
Well yes and no
You skip the main story up to the point where you (spoilers) and then you (spoilers), but I never really found the traipse through the desert looking for the guy who shot you to be all that interesting.
The rush to get to new vegas is all the casinos, you can make a silly amount of money there quite easily. Before they patched it, you could basically just spam and reload 200 caps on the blackjack tables and churn out a few thousand caps in an hour or less.
It's quite fun playing the slot machines and the like too
However the design of walking around the I95 was really quite nice when I played through it properly (second go, because I accidentally skipped all of it when I ran through the cazadors to Vegas right off the bat from goodsprings)
I'm rambling a bit but yeah, it's a great game.
I just wish my laptop could still run it, I never really got to enjoy all of what I wanted to do because it would suffer too much.
Ok I'll buy it for you for Christmas
Heh, I still have it I just can't play it <.<
I've gotta build a PC in the new year, but yeah I got a fair few hundred hours out of the game before my laptop stopped running anything remotely intensive >.>
Don't you own a console
Yeah, all of them >_>
I guess it's me just being fussy, there is a mod that I have for FNV on the PC version that is my 10/10 never need anything else again sort of thing. Trying to play vanilla FNV feels like half the game is missing <.<
If you make me a mod I'll buy you a computer
<_< >_> I'm listening.

I was quite upset when I found out that the game cartridges for the original pokemon games (Gold) had an internal battery.
Tried to get it to work years later and the save was corrupted. those batteries are replaceable, but they're rather pricey
good news is that now that they're putting red, blue, and yellow on virtual console in february
so later down the line, they could put gen 2 up
Yeah, I did look into it and it would have been doable but having already lost the save file I didn't really care to. I'm at peace with it though, HG is oddly where the strongest nostalgia I have for pokemon comes from and provided that DS games remain compatible with a device I own I'll be content. 2010 was a nice year for me Pity the ones that followed weren't so great but what can you do >_>

Ah well, Heartgold managed to redo the nostalgia and then create a whole bunch of fond memories ontop of it. Twice now actually, I started a new game on the day that my nephew was born too (Coincidental) so now I've got a bunch of pokemon that are precisely as old as he is >_>

Were they wearing a turban/hijab?
It was an old dude, he wore the turban and some of the usual robe things. I didn't understand him since he didn't speak English, but he understood what i asked
So... a sikh?

High fantasy is a waste of time.
I agree wholeheartedly, but I'd say ASOIF isn't exactly high fantasy. You can easily forget that it's set in a world with magic and the like, because it very rarely actually appears. A lot of the series is around the politics and 'real world' aspects to the world, with the odd bit of magic/dragons/Others placed in. I'm not saying go out and read it mind you, the books are very long and you'd probably have an embolism from half of the goings on (or going at it to be precise) but yeah, it's not high fantasy really.

If you haven't already read them, I'd strongly recommend the Dune series.
Or maybe the Sharpe books, should it turn out that you like this series a lot I'd suggest Gaunt's Ghosts which can be described as Sharpe in Space without it implying it's a shitty scifi ripoff >_>

I had mistaken his post for a goofy goober type post, and I responded in kind not knowing that you guys actually enforce serious discussion.

even so, you can still get away with a lot in here.
Yes, I mean we are pretty lenient as a rule of thumb. Serious is the only place where we actively try to keep some standard of discussion going, but provided you aren't just shrieking insults at someone then chances are you'll be fine.

I suggest reading the sticky at the top of the serious board <.<
'Serious is getting more serious'
Quote so you have a read, first time offending and all that so it'll be left at an edit but have a read of the serious rules as they differ slightly to the regular forum ones.
