I’m not up in arms and I support the sentiment, no need to straw man. Forgive me if I don’t think this act will improve the situation.

Laws change in legislatures and court rooms; this act will have far more repercussions because of its symbolic value which, imo, will lead to further division and steepened resistance to changing laws regarding the confederate flag. I sincerely hope I’m wrong.

Whether riling someone up is a good or bad thing depends entirely on what you’re hoping to accomplish; I’ll leave that up to you.

Blacks should have waited patiently for whites to end slavery

Until someone climbs a flag pole and takes down a pride flag because in their mind it’s unjust or deplorable. If you want to beat your moral opponent you rise above their tactics.

I support the idea but it’s really the wrong way to go about it. This is just going cause a lot of backlash (see related articles about pro-flag rallies popping up) as the rally-round-the-wagons or us-vs-them crowd now has more fuel for their fire; symbolic acts go two ways. It would have been much more meaningful for…

Yeah the flight part was basically the game for me. In retrospect it was probably just the 8 year old me missing something obvious in the airduct level, because the person in the video seems to have no problem.

Could you ever get past the airduct level? As far as the 8 year old me could tell this game was broken as there was literally no way (at least in my version) to navigate your “dot” of a character through the maze. I tried for on and off for years, but clearly they could somehow do it in the video above.

True, but the religious do tend to stick together for certain causes, like confronting the common enemy of atheism. A more interesting question might be, where would the current Muslim sci-fi/fantasy authors fall on the whole sad puppies debate?

I admit to not really following this controversy that much; do you have a source or link for where he says this? (Not questioning you, just genuinely curious.) Most of my info comes from following some of the back and forth between G.R.R Martin and that Correia guy.

I thought one of the sad puppies main complaints was the over-secular/progressive nature of the current sci-fi/fantasy scene? Some of them might actually welcome more “traditional” voices, especially those that come from the same Abrahamic tradition.

Pluron?

If humans eventually colonize the solar system I think that the Saturn system will eventually become the hub of human enterprise and settlement. Obviously Earth, and an eventually colonized Mars, will be major players, but Jupiter with its radiation belts that engulf all 4 of the Galilean moons and its dearth of…

You could jump high certainly (Rhea has only 3% of Earth’s gravity) but you would not be able to jump into orbit unless you could jump with a speed of 63 meters/second. My guess is that you could jump 20-50 feet up before coming back down.

You think that’s going to change now because of a law?

Hey, I posted a pic in this thread of my audio editing setup using a G13, huge time saver for quantizing, slicing, and pretty much everything related to audio editing.

Rather than just a gaming keyboard consider using a separate gaming keypad for work software that involves a lot of source editing. I work with Nuendo and use a G13 gamepad to save a huge amount of time and effort while editing music. I really think Logitech is losing out by only pushing the game market (<- at least…

Canadian schools kind of gloss over the residential schools, for example.

You’ll note that Europe possessed some degree of its own wealth before invading Africa.

I’m speaking of the present and making no assumptions about the future, your problem seems to be with the study which posits a continuing net migration from Africa to Europe for the next few decades (pg 37). But back to my question: is it right for Europe to be taking the some of the brightest and most motivated…
