Well, no shit. Older people have all the money, and we can't fathom the idea that any of you possibly could've earned it, because class mobility legitimately isn't possible the way it was in your time. Whether you believe it's because of malicious fiscal policy instituted for and by Boomers, or just an unavoidable reality of our society's failure to adapt to certain technologies in a timely fashion, it's a truth that many of your generation refuse to see and simply blame us for. Meanwhile, whether us kids actually feel any umbrage towards you or not, we're all basically waiting for you to die, simply because we're flatassed broke and inheriting whatever scraps you don't dump into having a fun retirement seems like our only hope.
Let's all pretend that for the past five years, Google hasn't been acting more like "don't be evil" was a patronizing directive to their less desirable users, basically equivalent to "do as I say, not as I do."
"If you don't want Google Chrome to save a record of what you visit and download, you can browse the web in incognito mode. We will inform the NSA of your preference."
They've been trying to kill the A-10 because there are things that would do better at its current job for lower maintenance costs, due to the need to constantly keep those old pieces of shit from falling apart.
That's why the questions are syllogisms instead of "explain this analogy." It's trivial to invalidate any analogy, because analogies only make sense if you agree on a context that gives them a particular relationship. A well-crafted syllogism, on the other hand, has an unambiguous context, because it's talking about the relationship between the two sets, not the objects themselves.
tl;dr: nobody really cares if you suck at syllogisms, but you look ridiculous when you try to claim that it's because you're just too darned creative for our feeble human language.
No, those are just the actual Trump supporters. He has far more ironic supporters. People my age are thoroughly addicted to sarcasm. Hell, before I heard about McAfee running, I was thinking about voting for Trump. He'd be such a terrible president that he might actually destabilize the federal government, which is a huge net gain despite whatever ridiculous bullshit he'd do to get us there.
If my vote would be mostly a joke anyway, I'd like it to be a joke that's actually funny, and one that I can pretend might actually solve problems I care about. McAfee is my candidate.
Make sure you have a big presence on chan boards. Get memes made about you, and generally continue being your awesome-ridiculous self. Don't act professional for the sake of your campaign. That isn't what millenials want, and they are the ones you can get to vote for you if you do your marketing right. Think about that. Millenials might actually vote. All you have to do is entertain them. Get yourself made fun of on John Oliver repeatedly. Be a bigger cartoon character than Donald Trump. You can do this. I believe in you. You're the closest we could ever get to President Zaphod Beeblebrox. Please make it happen.
I really like how you ignored the problem's constraints and just recommended your favorite stuff most people in developed nations reject as educational tools.
NB: If a core gameplay element of your game is maze navigation or something similar to it, then this isn't so bad. Though I think it could still be improved.
A Complicated Algorithm to Build a Crappy Looking Dungeon
Any "hallways" in any area but the periphery are going to be wonky and stupid agglomerations of whatever rooms happened to be shoved in there. Attempting to control for that factor would just make all the rooms too similarly square. And frankly, randomized connectivity is just silly to begin with. Other map generators tend to focus on sticking modules together, in part because the connectivity always makes sense that way. It makes for samey architecture, but that isn't actually boring if you're properly doing your job of filling those rooms with interesting stuff.
Mass Effect had very noticeably lazy level design for its exploration/filler material. Hey, it's that one grey box again, sitting next to its grey box friend. Oh boy, I'm going down this hole for the tenth time, I wonder if the door will open left or right. I did it all anyway, because I found the contents of these little adventure capsules at least somewhat engaging, and I was interested in the mechanical rewards from them which I could apply to the prettier parts of the game.
I feel incredibly sorry for you. I'm so glad I'm being crushed by poverty and debt that i accrued trying futilely to raise myself out of it, instead of having to deal with people talking to me.
The first thing I need to do is hire an accountant so I know how much I actually have. If I do anything else first, I have a feeling a significant portion of the fortune would be gone before I have any kind of understanding of what my tax burden is, and I'd fuck myself right back to poverty.
Next thing I do (after buying a house, of course) is start studying accountancy, because if I've learned anything from reading the news the past several years, it's that NOBODY can be trusted with that many zeroes.
After that, I've got friends who need help, and who deserve it much more than I do. I want to see them happy. Then I can start worrying about businesses and philanthropy and shit like that.
That's a bit different, as standardized testing in its current form is one of the major issues. Have you seen what they're doing with them these days? It's horseshit. A public school education is literally worse than nothing at this point.
Different genres work differently. They use time in different ways. Sometimes, especially with MMOs, they heavily encourage focus on one of them, without giving you very much that can be cross-applied to others. If this is happening with FPS, for example, it's only because of the recent trend of wedging in progression mechanics whether they belong or not. There are still plenty of FPS where the core gameplay, out of the box, is similar enough that being good in one of them will mean you're good in another, which means the sunk cost fallacy doesn't happen.
Another genre that completely trashes this argument is RPGs, whichever letter you put in front of them. People play those to see story, characters, and setting. It wouldn't even make sense to play only one. That'd be like saying there's no such thing as a sci-fi fan; only people who like the Foundation series or Hitchhiker's Guide.
Thank you. People arguing against this seem to have completely missed my point. The reason I say that "Google has no basis to refuse payment" is that there is no way in which they stand to profit from discouraging people from this behavior, which is what refusing to pay people who do it does.
They are the ones who instituted the convention that, if your video is popular, you get money. The natural consequence is that people do lazy things to attempt to become a popular channel. If it works, so long as it's legal, it's bullshit for Google to renege on that deal, because they're ultimately making money off videos you post whether or not they give you a cut.

You have no idea what humor is.

I can't decide which of you guys to give "+1 Insightful." I went to a tech school to study insurance coding, and you're both completely right.
"If you don't want Google Chrome to save a record of what you visit and download, you can browse the web in incognito mode. We will inform the NSA of your preference."
You've got it backwards. If you're trying to promote safety, you need to push anyone trying to take a selfie into a pool full of sharks.

It doesn't beg any of those questions. That's not what begging the question is.
I usually see it used to make you jump down to a particular heading in, e.g., a wiki article. I think it also activates stuff in scripts sometimes?
Gandhi was sort of the opposite of a freedom fighter, not sure you knew that.

Trademark isn't copyright. Restriction on use is much narrower. This isn't going to pose a problem to anyone except maybe other watchmakers.

Admitting that any identity political issue is more complicated than cishet white men ruining everything is heresy.
