There was a time where rehabilitation is the primary focus. Recidivism was lower, people get skills to function in society. It s was cheaper and safer for everyone.
But the privatization of prison gave incentive to companies to spend money to get longer sentences, more crimes, and cut rehabilitation. 3 strike is harmful to society as a whole, but through a massive advertising and political backing form private companies and prison guard unions everyone now has this stupid, ignorant and mean attitude of 'just throw the in prison and they get what the deserve' is harming society.
The universe is infinite, thus every unusual thing that can happen is also infinite, just a smaller infinite.
If we assume particles have a finite ways to be arrange(as it seems) that means there are a small infinite places just like earth, with another you reading the exact same post by another me.
behind other phones n the market. Like it always has.
at 349, I might have bought one, depending on how it feels. But I am not also going to buy an iPhone. This reminds me of when the tried to sell macs by making iTunes mac only.
It just seems hypocritical to let you kids watch the 'Simpson's' with 'Itchy and Scratchy', then claim FPS are too violent.
Also, his post mention Duke Nukem, but he doesn't seem to know you can turn off the gore.
In short: It sounds like he is making it up. In fact, I hope he is because otherwise he is sending very mixed messages to his kids, as well setting them up to rebel in a violent manner. you know, based on his 1 post:)
You do know the 'S' in 'FPS' is for shooter, right? It's inherently violent because you are shooting cartoons.
I wonder what kind of kid is old enough for portal; which has some grim themes in it, but not for TF2.
BTW, you can find TF2 servers with the Birthday mode turned on; which I actually enjoy more the n the blood. It cracks me up when my character explodes in balloons, streamers, and a trike wheel.
I like how to consider better visuals = Hollywood = bad.
Every part of that is wrong.
" I think it comes down to Valve not really not know what they are doing storywise. " Portal and Portal 2 had great stories. Subtle, interesting. Details left to the imagination. Fantastic
HL 2 had an interesting story. I never ran into any bugs, so I can't comment on that.
Just to be clear, you can have great graphics and a great game. Those are not mutually exclusive.
I also enjoy TF 2. For me, it's the perfect shooter... so far. Challenging, a lot of replay. Doesn't get boring.
That may not be true. It seems group can actual realize the science is true. Below is a link to a graph showing belief in the science over time among the D/I/R political groups.
". We can quantify that harm, and it's not civilization ending. it most certainly can be if we don't stop emitting greenhouse gasses. The trapped energy will increase with more greenhouse gasses. If we don't stop and work on lowering it, then it won't stop.
Now, we can do it using science, and brains, and engineering and planning. Or we can stop because the earth no longer supports humans.
Cost is irrelevant when dealing with complete collapse. The longer we wait, the more aggressive we must be.
To be clear, I'm not talking about tomorrow or next decade, but it can get too warm for human civilization as we know it in 100 years. When the heat sink are no longer available, the temp will rise even more dramatically.
Yes, I am raising the alarm. The change we must make will take decades. There isn't a silver bullet, there isn't 1 solution. We must be aggressive in out planning.

That's not for the good of society. Not at all.
There was a time where rehabilitation is the primary focus. Recidivism was lower, people get skills to function in society.

Because previously it was said:
"environments favorable to life are likely to be unusual."
now they know it's unlikely to be unusual
or they will taste like peppermint. :)
Too esoteric?
The universe is infinite, thus every unusual thing that can happen is also infinite, just a smaller infinite.

But they aren't.
My Nexus 4 just works. My car just works, my iPad just works.
The may I suggest you stop reading about the things you don't care about?
Apple makes a lot of money from licensing things like case and what not. So they change the size to get more money from licensing.

OR you are just old and wrong.
Please explain why it's ancient and why ancient is bad.
Llease explain why it's outdated.
I enjoy taking care of my family, therefore Money.
I wonder why they didn't just move to COBOL.net.
Divinity: Original Sin has a lot of interesting things you can do with the environment.
His point is that build interesting things. Push whats out there.
Do you want a long game all the way through or do you want a lot of small games tied together with a good story?
Obvious troll is obvious.
