A very long time ago, I searched for the lyrics of "Sexual" by Goddess. Guess what all the results were...

A song about being a Hollywood / Music Industry Paedophile?

Hey little boy, what you gonna do tonight
Hey little boy, gonna make you feel right
Hey little boy, you got the key to my lock
Hey little boy, let the cradle rock

Like Barbara Walters?

We need more robots in space, and less clowns. NASA needs to focus on real shit.

It's not mutually exclusive.

Xonotic vs ChaosEsque:Anthology, Which to chose. A debate on OpenSource FPS's

>Xonotic over ChaosEsqueAnthology: ..
Ayyo. Before you make a big mistake in choosing a project or sum shit you gotta be feeling the ways of the both the people. You feel me?

M'fcking Xonotic and dis bullshit is diffrens.

Xonotic devs deeply respect women and their rights and privileges.

Dis Bullshit devs hate women's rights and have been harranging FLOSS femininists fo like a decade. (Citation: http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/... )

Xonotic Developers contribute to society by working real jobs.

Dis Bullshit is a pack of fucking NEETs who say dey ain't workin fo no enemy.

Xonotic Programmers are attracted to real Women.

Dis BULLSHIT faggots want to take little girls as brides.

Xonotic Men respect and uphold modern ethical understandings and beliefs.

DIS BULLSHIT NEET FUCKS worship the war god of the jews and cite "deuteronomy" as reason why raping young female children into marraige is "awwwite" (Example: "Deuteronomy 22, 28-29,hebrew, see na'ar, tahpas bla bla bla bla" -- These words are all spam-filtered on soylentnews.org for a reason)

Xonotic Paragons have a correct work:life:hobby balance and deeply love real women.

Dis_Bullshit neet faggots do not work, do not life, they just program the videogame and make maps for it. They hate women and like little girls (and we all know that little girls are basically boys).

Choose wisely for you will be judged by the company you keep.

If you want to get fired from your job: fine: shack up with mikeeeusa and the faggot neets of Dis Bullshit and their mountain of shit. You know: if you like pedophiles and guns so much. Also the neet assholes added disgusting things like working torture chambers into the game. Do you honestly want to be associated with that? ..

>CEA over Xonotic: ..

Some things to consider:

Chaos-Esque Anthology has little things coded in over the years like:
Bullet Deceleration in Water (along with trails) (thus you can use water for cover like in real life)
Blood splatter on walls when bullets pass through players (noticed Unreal 97 had this, and Xonotic didn't, so it was coded in).
and various other little niggling details that were noticed as absent and programmed in over the years.

It also has big things like the tons of added weapons, and all the rest that has allready been mentioned.

Xonotic itself could be prone to puritanism: one of the devs wanted to strip out all the player models and replace them with only robots so it is "less violent" (don't think they did it, but it was discussed).
Chaos-Esque doesn't entertain such thoughts.

Xonotic has code churn from time to time when a dev decides to refactor everything in the "right way". Samual did this once, and later some new guys refactored the whole thing again.
Chaos-Esque does not do this. It refines the codebase it has. The machine doesn't care how asthetic ones quakec dialect appears to humans.
(Rewriting codebases for no reason can reintroduce long banished bugs).

You can think of Xonotic as american-christianity: subject to bouts of shakerism and other fads,
while Chaos-Esque Anthology is more listening to the voices of antiquity.

Chaos-Esque Anthology believes in slow, steady, methodical advancement. Like a large gear biting into whatever it is biting into.
Xonotic is more of a ... talk about things... some bouts of revolutionary change... some iconoclasm... and churn in developers.

Chaos-Esque Anthology has one developer. Who listens to no one, who no one talks to.

One of these projects makes more progress than the other.

Now, on the otherhand: Xonotic has a ... (close eyes, savor the moment, breathe in, breathe out)...
Xonotic has a Community.

You can go to Xonotic. You can approach it.

Actually, they *are* human. Note in the side panel "oxygen breathing".

Luke also had a lot of experience flying T-16 (manufactured by the same company that make X-Wings) airspeeders, which would translate directly to flying an X-Wing. He even states that in the film ("I used to bullseye womp rats in my T-16 back home").

If you think about what he's proposing, it's going to be much closer to the Bynars.

Can't wait for Bird to send letters to the South Park creators for all the E-Scooter episodes in Season 22, like The Scoots ...

29. The enemy of my enemy is my enemy's enemy. No more. No less.
-- The Seventy Maxims of Maximally Effective Mercenaries [Schlock Mercenary]

"My compliments to you. And to your dressmaker." - Spock to Miranda, upon realizing that she is blind,

Fun fact: When Jessica Walter, the original actress proposed for the role of Miranda Jones became unavailable and a search for a replacement was fruitless, director Ralph Senensky recommended Diana Muldaur for the role, since they'd worked together the previous season in "Return to Tomorrow" and also in an episode of I, Spy. According to Senensky there was a policy against the reuse of guest stars in different roles (a claim refuted by the large number of actors who did, in fact, return to the series in multiple roles). This problem was solved by having Muldaur wear a black wig, creating a different appearance for the actress. After viewing the rushes, co-producer Robert H. Justman walked out of the screening room saying, "I wonder how she looks in a red wig", jokingly referring to another possible appearance by Muldaur in a potential fourth season.

It's Baine the Mono!

Indeed. Second on the list but actually the third rule. My mistake.

or the episode where they run around inside the TARDIS and it turns out that it's powered by a freaking SUN. That was amazing, I wish I could remember which episode it was.

Series 7 episode 10: Journey to the Centre of the TARDIS. It's called the Eye of Harmony.

They should make a Star Trek episode with a plot something like that! Oh, wait . . . .

Are you thinking of The Skorr? They were still around in the original (animated) series.

What exactly do you think is dumb about a sentient avian species?

Which inexorably leads to this...

http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/...

That's great. Now I want them to be able operate a http://avp.wikia.com/wiki/P-5000_Powered_Work_Loader, so they can move around and send those aliens back where they came from.

Mars is actually way more dangerous than you think...

Faros Chariot line consumed biomass for fuel, outcome was less than favorable.
http://horizonzerodawn.wikia.c... :

"Apparently a fisherman in the Banda Sea captured video of a Hartz-Timor Horus unit refueling via biomatter conversion along the shoreline of Pulau Wetar. On a pod of endangered dolphins, no less, quite possibly the last of their kind. Not to get graphic, but it looks like what happens inside a blender, as if the robot was whipping up a big pink swirling milkshake of dolphin chum."

A technical meritocracy on Mars?

But what will happen when the earth unites under a government and they show up with their new leader?

"Quantum Radar"? China, you can't just add sci-fi word to another word and hope it means something!

... Huh, looks like something's wrong with the Microverse Battery

Let's try it again....

Laser Hookah

It all makes sense now. Figures it would be Rick and Morty fans that created a real-life version of a method to smoke pot that is impractical, unsafe, and extremely overpriced. Real stoners would never bother with something this daft.

Great. Now we just need some perspective-enhancing alien pheromones to smoke through this Laser Hookah in a Star Wars themed cantina and perhaps there can finally be a permanent Israeli / Palestinian ceasefire.

I'm guessing he's going to build windtraps.

Whatever you say, Bizarro.

Klaang from Star Trek: http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/...

> Don't forget that DS9 used an Amiga on steroids for their special effects and that was a step up from TNG....

DS9 didn't use any CGI until season 3, and that was for the Bajoran Lightship - rendered by ILM (who did NOT use Amigas).

The implication is still that the population didn't need/have glasses.

Doesn't Kirk have glasses in The Voyage Home?

I hope they dock at Deep Space 9 once in a while and for the love of The Founders please get Armin Shimerman again to voice Quark and Max Grodénchik to voice Rom. If you want to see how good Star Trek comedy can be, watch The Magnificent Ferengi.

Yes. They had those "wholesome" stories that wanted to make us think about where our society is headed and crime and punishment and live and death... just like Next Generation. ( http://memory-alpha.wikia.com/... being the worst of them!) ST:TNG often has been ridiculed for those type of plots and it was amazing that within a few episodes, The Orville picked up exactly those aspects of Star Trek. And dropped all those penis jokes instead.

... to sue Ben Affleck . I think my rights might still not be fully realized.

Don't worry too much. Unlike your old photos, the internet's got a copy of the trophies that you can check anytime.

One would think that at least one of those shows' writers would've had read Illuminatus! at some point, but I guess not.

That Purple Haze - its all in your brain. It’s just that lately things don’t seem the same.

Purple Haze is also the S1, E10 episode of Eureka

I hope they got free tickets on the B ark.

Can we also have laws requiring firefighters to be 50% female? And construction workers, truck drivers and lumberjacks?...

First the requirement is one person, not 50%. As long as the board has more than 2 people, it is not 50%.

Second, a publicly traded corporation is an artificial construct supported by various laws created by, guess what people. As such the continued existence of the corporation should be at least nominally in the public's interest. Last I checked a little over half of the people in the country were women, so I don't think it is unreasonable to have one representative of the fairer sex on a company's board.

It is suggested further down that the presidency take turns. I don't really have a problem with that, provided you know on day 1 of the current president that the next is to be the opposite. It would require that a president who wants two terms serve them non consecutively, but that is doable. It would be affirmative action I suppose, but perhaps we still need that.

Hell I'd favor it for the simple reason that Donald Trump could not run again without at least a 4 year break. Then again, I'd favor being taken over by the Humankind empire Abh link, sounds better than another term of Trump.

Remind me of South Park episode Coon and Friend Trilogy where BP CEO has to apologize for the result of his horrendous decision.

Has anyone tried ionization?

Sorry, I don't see Orbital Capture Vehicle in the Sharper Image catalog ...

[ Thinking of Michael from The Good Place ]

Michael: Okay, I know what you're thinking. Birth is a curse, and existence is a prison. But don't think about that. Don't be sad, you guys. Focus on something great like Drakkar Noir which I am wearing a lot of tonight. Or the Sharper Image Catalog. What can't those guys ionize?

Andoria should be nearby to Vulcan. Time to order a case of Andorian ale.

Using welcoming and inclusive language

They're dictating what LANGUAGE we can use. Think about it like you're a subversive agent. How could you abuse this rule? That's right, any negative comment is now "exclusionary" and grounds for banning. Boom, project disrupted, subversion achieved. You have to look at governing rules like network security. You can't trust people not to be assholes. Oh, whoops, I said "asshole" = BANNED.

The use of sexualized language or imagery and unwelcome sexual attention or advances

Fuck that noise.

Publishing others’ private information, such as a physical or electronic address, without explicit permission

Note that physical and electronic addresses are public information, not private. "No doxing" works well enough.

This Code of Conduct applies both within project spaces and in public spaces when an individual is representing the project or its community.

People have been very vocal about getting people banned for actions they've taken elsewhere in public as "You inheirently represent the project".

That's bullshit. I like their examples, but they throw in the kicker "Representation of a project may be further defined and clarified by project maintainers." because those bullshit types demand it.

The person behind it, coraline ada ehmke, often describes themself as a "Notorious Social Justice Warrior" and believes in guilt by association. So I have little qualm about all their baggage being brought into this discussion.

The first fucking paragraph on https://www.contributor-covena...:

But free, libre, and open source projects suffer from a startling lack of diversity, with dramatically low representation by women, people of color, and other marginalized populations.

The D word. If the code of conduct bars political

I can't make this shit up. They're literally arguing against merit:

the unintended consequences of dogmatic insistence on meritocratic principles of governance. Studies have shown that organizational cultures that value meritocracy often result in greater inequality. People with “merit” are often excused for their bad behavior in public spaces based on the value of their technical contributions. Meritocracy also naively assumes a level playing field, ... For more critical analysis of meritocracy, see http://geekfeminism.wikia.com/...

And yes, they want the code of conduct to apply outside of the project/conference. They link to a "codes-of-conduct-101-faq"

WHY SHOULD A CODE OF CONDUCT COVER NON-OFFICIALLY AFFILIATED EVENTS?

Your code of conduct should apply to any event where your attendees may congregate. Since so much of the conference experience these days is at the after-parties, in hallways, and other non-official events, we have to expect that incidents can happen in those spaces that will affect people at the event.

Fuckin' A! this FAQ is scary as shit:

WHAT ABOUT FALSE ACCUSATIONS?
False accusations are not only incredibly rare, but are less common than people choosing not to report at all. The risk a person takes for reporting an incident (not being believed, being ostracized, facing further harassment/abuse from the original person or their friends/supporters, losing financial/professional opportunities, etc) is so great that it would not be worth it for a person to falsely accuse.

That's their official stance? It doesn't happen? There is no such thing as a false accusation? Duuuuuuuude. Thanks but no thanks. I'm all for people being nice to each other, but this is way WAY too far overboard for me.

I believe we may have a Vogon in our midst.
