XP was released in 2001 actually. Yeah. It's old.

Yeah, why is it that I see a ton more people with cracked screens on their iPhones?

You realize they could sell to a stock photo company, and said company could then sell your likeness to whomever would buy?

That would be a pretty cool way to die.

What gerrylum is saying is that absence of evidence isn't evidence of absence. Can you prove that Unicorns don't exist?

you don't have to agree with Heinlein's general philosophy to understand responsibility or to respect legitimate authority.

A fantastic lampooning of Heinlein's terrible politics. Easily one of my favorites, so entertaining and funny.

It's a spectrum. I'm high functioning, have a career, and I like how I think. and I agree I don't need a cure. Severe autism is not good times though.

First off, I agree with a lot of what you said. I apologize for assuming you were pro-war. I misjudged you. I expressed anti-war sentiment and all you wrote was "said the man who's never been to Afghanistan." and "fuck off" without any further context. I hope you can understand that I might interpret that as a pro-war…

I so badly want Microsoft to do well, I love this hardware, but I just don't understand the decisions behind the pricing - much less the complete oversight of not including the type cover. Their hardware and software people have their shit mostly together - but who in the everloving fuck is doing their sales and…

I know anecdotes are shit and there's no reason to believe them over the internet, but I personally know a marine who served in Afghanistan, saw combat, and is against the war. But is that really so hard to believe? For someone who believes in climate change and understands the economy is run by idiots, it's stunning…

So thinking the occupation of Afghanistan is terrible - that's an invalid opinion? There are anti-war veterans that think the same thing. There are plenty of people who study the issue who have a similar view. I just don't see how "never having been to Afghanistan" somehow disqualifies a person from having a view on…

I like the idea that if you didn't go to Iraq or Afghanistan you can't have a view on foreign policy. Tell me, if you're not a climate scientist, is it OK to have an opinion on environmental policy? Or if you don't have a doctorate in Economics, can you have an opinion on tax policy? How do you feel about democracy in…

The longest American occupation of a foreign country in history is what cost lives. The entire operation became a farce and every empire before us has paid the same price attempting to do the same thing. That's not the fault of Wikileaks, sorry.

How much information would they need to collect about people for this to work well?

Exactly this.

These screenshots just make me want to play an updated Morrowind. Same storyline. Nothing will beat the Nerevarine prophecy. "They have taken you from the imperial city, first by carriage, then by boat..."

you know, it's OK to analyze something beyond the surface level. this is called abstraction, it involves critical thought. for years people have complained that gaming journalism is vapid shit, samey, and mostly written by hacks - read only by mental children. even if you're not personally super impressed by the…

Yup. The fault, dear Brutus, etc etc
