Does anyone else find it odd that Andrew can't be bothered to read the thread, but singles out a female poster who made very few contributions for individual criticism? Hmm, misrepresentation AND hiding behind being female. Congrats, two bad arguments in one go. "Very few" is a laughable ...

Were we playing the same game? One of those was spending 80% of the game throwing a wrench in the Big Bad's plan because she could and then she died because she told you to kill her. Well, mostly she told you to break the machine that the Big Bad's plan depended on. Some Damsel in Distress. The sec...

As for your "unable to find the study," (which is ironic, because I've linked to it on this forum before), it's right here . Yes, thank you. As I said, my ability to find things has never been good. Doesn't help that the link Jogurt posted cited the study as "Facts about Sexual Assua...

Or, to be blunt, do not stick your dick into drunk woman who have not made their intentions clear before. Solid advice, that should be more widely adhered. Sadly, barring the complete and absolute removal of Alcohol from existence it will continue to happen. Another option, would be for sex to ceas...

See, that amuses me. By saying intoxicated women can't consent, they're enshrining as law that women are too mentally infirm to be allowed to make poor choices. That they cannot take into account the fact that if they imbibe alcohol they might make choices they'll regret later. And then, they state ...

My google-fu has been failing for years, so I have not been able to find this AMA report. The actual AMA website has nothing on their page's internal search either. This is interesting, because the wording in those percentages is vague to the point of: "Women who don't consider themselves rape ...

Not quite what I expected to return to, but yes. Purple phrased it quite well. Infact, it's all been put much more eloquently than I would have. FYI, rape claims are always pretty plausible. The rate of false reporting falls between .5 and 5% depending on the study and circumstances (the broader stu...

Any advocate for women's rights/equality no matter how batshit nuts they are. What opinions would qualiy as batshit nuts? Rebecca Watson, aka Skepchick, for the unaware was the motivating force behind "Elevatorgate." An incident in which she was asked by a male convention attendee to join...

Ah, this topic never ceases to be hilarious. Not just this thread. Recall back to that copy-pasta story about the man who had a vasectomy throwing it in the face of a woman who slept around on him as she attempted to saddle him with child support. Was he a douche bag, real or ficitonal? Oh yes. Does...

Decent time waster. Would probably be better on a portable, but eh. a game 'year' is somewhere under 5 minutes. Feels like 1-2 iirc. One thing you didn't touch on is that once you've claimed a territory, you can sleep at the nest if you don't have a mate. This rerolls the surroundings, and can chang...

The school system is set up for the slowest among us. The problem is, you can be bright enough to learn and retain enough to realize that they just taught you the exact same things last year. Yet not smart enough to realize that by tuning them out, they'll think you're the problem. And certianly not...

"The Effect of Sexist Humor and Type of Rape on Men's Self-Reported Rape Proclivity and Victim Blame", Current Research in Social Psychology (Vol. 13, No. 10), 2007 "The Enjoyment of Sexist Humor, Rape Attitudes, and Relationship Aggression in College Students", Sex Roles (Vol. ...

In the new game, being limited to only six (eight?) squad members on a mission means that we can expect each squaddie to be significantly more powerful than in the older game. 4. One of the articles they confirm that it is currently start at 4, "tech up" to 6. Sounds like more can sit at ...

That part took my friend and I way too many tries... Eventually, we got close enough (And you do have to kill him, he's weakest to KE if I'm remembering right.) I made it by dodging and my friend acting as a target two or three times... I'd forgotten/never realized it existed at the time, but one of...

Take it however you want. Know your rights, use them, assume he'll respect them. I do myself, but ultimately, you're interacting with a person with at least temporary power over you. Perhaps the third statement distorted it, but my second was meant to show that, "Hey, above it all, they're the ...

How afraid of law enforcement officials are citizens of a nominally free country supposed to be? Fear is weakness, it leads to mistakes and poor choices. Respect the fact that if the mood takes them, they can fuck up your life without reproach, and potentially end it with a moments notice. But, als...

Or the LAPD being taped beating Rodney King for no reason. He stepped over the line into apologetics stating that there's no "scope" of police corruption... But seriously? Rodney King? He earned that beating. High-speed drunken chase, and then resisting arrest. [Which isn't to say that I ...

There's a few comparison shots that make a good case for Rebuild being a psuedo-sequel... But, I didn't like the original, so eh.

Still, more excited for GitS than most of the rest combined.

It's an interesting idea, even for a prank. Some sort of solar-panel lined blimp could have effectively indefinite flight time, and if they could maintain themselves over international water, they'd be extra jurisdictional pirates. Of course, they'd have to somehow makes all the money the RIAA, MPAA...

RPS: Oh, I must ask about the bases. You’ve only got one base in the new one, right? Jake Solomon: Yes. [World-weary expression]. Yes. Are you looking for ammunition, Alec? [laughs] Yeah, you only have the one base, and then as you saw there in the hanger, you can expand your Interceptors and Satel...

... I feel somewhat dirty. Running a medium mech with dual gattling guns. (the 2500 ammo ones) Am I missing something or are all the other Miniguns vastly worse, with less ammo? But these things are cheese hoses against anything with medium-low KE defense. Spent this evening mostly Co-Oping with a f...

It looks like there's telegraph stations too, but I'm yet to capture or build one to see its relevance. The Telegraph stations are the basic building rail-stations are build up from. Rails are a province special resource. And it seems like you can only move instantly from one to another... imagine ...

I know my relations buy antibacterial hand soap.

A large number of cleaners advertise as killing 99.9% of germs on surfaces...

How much of a cross-over the chemicals used in these products has with medicinal antibiotics, I have no idea, but they most likely aren't helping matters.

It would be a pretty funny thing... were it not for the sequence of events surrounding it. Primarily, the creator of the IP leaving Capcom, followed by the cancellation of Megaman Legends 3 a month before the paid demo that was proposed to gauge interest in the game itself, citing lack of fan intere...

They're imagining if Mass Effect played like Star Control, rather than just ripping the story.
