Honest question here...what is your end goal?

Ever been to Liberia? I went there for work, though the job got canceled once I got there due to the political insecurity. Conceptually, that’s how I imagine most of the post apocalyptic societies would be like in population centers that survive. There is chaos, there is violence, but there is also humanity in the…

Yeah that is all I am saying. Compared to the usual writing, though I could go on a LONG rant how the start of FO3 could have easily been rewritten so that the dad is not the dumbest person in the wasteland, the Legion arc is just jarring in how...vanilla it is. No ambiguity.

Here is the thing though...you never see that superior organization in the game. Its never established really that they are taking, holding, and improving their territory. A massive camp in the desert? In a month they would all be dead from dysentery. Two developments by the Romans led to their empire and it wasn’t…

Except no. There are logical reasons why some people join ISIS. There are effectively three wings of ISIS. You have the former Sunni power brokers who used to have authority under Saddam who are using ISIS as a way to settle scores and force the Maliki government to recognize their local authority. They could give a…

I still maintain that the dad in FO3 has to be the dumbest fucking character in modern gaming. So he just leaves, not expecting the Overseer, who is so paranoid he has to be present for his daughter’s medical exams, is not going to flip his shit.

Here’s the thing that ripped me right out of NV....they made Caesars Legion too over the top evil. It made no sense to me how they could hold onto any territory or make any headway with being so extremely evil.

I recognize that culling the population would be functionally impossible to achieve perfection. I don’t understand the point of releasing feral cats back into the wild to continue to destroy the bio-diversity of Australia.

If this were say a rat population outbreak, I highly doubt anyone would be arguing to catch,…

Neutering the cats and then releasing them does not prevent those cats from continuing to wipe out wildlife.

How the hell do two people get lost with both a map and a modern phone?!?

I used to tend bar. One time, I was taking out trash, two guys were wailing on each other. I got between them to break it up. A third person, the cops later learned it was the girlfriend of one of these idiots, took a brick to the back of my head.

If you include the endorsement deals, the USWNST does really well compared to other nations. Unlike say the Japanese team (which when they won, most of the women were from the Fukishima plant team), all have to have regular jobs and travel coach.

There are a lot of goofy things about Japan. I cannot stand the whole business card mini-ceremony I have to participate in whenever I am interacting with my Japanese coworkers.

They still extensively use fax machines. Its utterly bizarre. Hell, they only recently stopped making VHS and BetaMax machines....

I’ve never really run into it as an issue as an engineer, though I know my sister has as a professor in music (she has her PhD).

She has 3 PhD’s the last time I checked...

Our dean, who is still the same woman the last time I check, pretty much was hardcore on the high school programs.

I want to say five or six years ago. I am afraid I had to leave the US for work for a while.

Its insanity because as an engineer, I can argue for hours how its affecting the industry in negative ways.

What the...fucking...fuck...where is this Stepford Wives town freaking located?!?
