    console gamers barely qualify as gamers... maybe for games that require two analogs, but not FPS...

    i've seen straight people being attacked for being gay and or a woman too. you'd have a point if only homosexuals and females got attacked for being homosexual or female. but again, scattershot... and more a symptom of societal ills for being part of that scattershot approach. but that's another discussion.

    no, decidedly not, but as a gamer i worry for the state of gaming... and if some good indie games die because they can't get some decent coverage... you know, then i can't play some innovative games, and that'd be bad.

    considering, apparently it barely qualifies as a game, there are almost certainly superior and more deserving games, and he used a screenshot from this one when the other one he singles out he's also literally called an art project?

    you asked for positive review, and yeah, in most people's eyes, a singling out as worthy among 50 competitors qualifies. also, i don't think it'd be possible to BS a full blown review of a choose your own adventure. game while keeping any semblance of credibility.

    the link you provided, says in the next line that that statistic includes in its definition of rape, consensual sex under the influence of alcohol that is regretted the next morning. if you're going to broaden it to that, then you've defined away the utility of the word.

    I don't believe protection from our government is a strong enough free speech protection. I believe free speech should extend to the government protecting us from each other as well. I don't believe donald sterling should have been penalized financially for his speech. whether you want to go after him for decades of racial discrimination is a separate matter entirely. Brendan Eich was also done a huge disservice by american society. I'm frankly horrified by the direction of american culture and its implications. Social condemnation is in certain instances more punishing than government censorship, and frankly more arbitrary too.

    I'm of the firm belief that one should be punished for their actions, and never for their ideas. the westboro baptist church, their contemptible but again, we should defend their every right to both hold their views, and live in our world, at the same time.

    Is there anything that someone could say that should cost them a billion dollars? apparently so. because the american public is both fickle, reactionary and forgetful. social media makes it all faster, more brutal and less discriminatory than it's ever been before, the will of the common man.

    i take issue with the classification. boys and girls play different games. girls tend to prefer the "casual" games. boys tend to prefer the hardcore games. As far as i'm concerned, girls can have those shitty games. God, i'm elitist, and i'm fine with that. because Q3A is was and will forever be the best fps. the gender ratio among "real gamers" is probably 80:20.

    a good deal of knowledge and mastery, is knowing that the equation you need for a problem, is in fact a real thing. the details and application of equations and how they fit together is important. the exact equation less so, but you need to know that's the equation you need. and maybe its name, so you can get its exact form.

    I feel like what he's getting at was a sense of urgency. coding seems to usually refer to that point where you've got 5 minutes to get some serious intervention before your brain starts dying. and memorization is memorization. In that situation, i want the dude to have a fucking encyclopedia in his brain, 20+years experience in the emergency room, 10 top-notch how-to videos ready to project directly onto his retina, and his entire fucking career riding on my survival.

    memorization is pretty damn critical when things are time sensitive.

    i find that fuzzifying particularly troubling. the law will eventually have to address it. but before that we each need to decide how we address it in the court of our opinion.

    Your boss's right is to hate you for no reason at all. if you can prove that he's paying you less as a result, then he's going to lose money. but that's another matter.

    racism isn't correct, but it's certainly their prerogative. pay discrimination is hard to prove. Especially since, how would you discriminate between discrimination and outright greed? anyway. my problem is with the chain of events in the sterling case.

    his agreement with the clippers had something to do with knowing misbehavior. regardless, I can't fault the nba for what it did, as owners, If anything, i fault the public for its reaction. I find it incredibly troubling that private utterances in any context can lead to the loss of hundreds of millions of dollars worth of personal property.

    in this case. i would say that trusting something important like these kinds of photos, to something whose security you trust implicitly, means you deserve little of my sympathy.

    Sterling was burned because he trusted the wrong person. which is an entirely different security matter.

    what is your position on the forced sale of the clippers?

    fruit of the poison tree and all. I take it the majority of the US believes that no matter how information gets out, once it does it's fair game.

    I do not believe the forced sale of the clippers is correct. I believe transmission of these photos is fine. this is what they deserve for their blind faith.

    Not knowing that Apple is terrible at doing things, and trusting your photos to them anyway, makes for not enough of a reasonable expectation of privacy.

    public indecency is more about my right not see it. I hope those two lovebirds got the ever loving shit kicked out of them by the cops and arrested in that story.

    Knowing that i live in a deterministic universe and that free will is most likely a myth, doesn't preclude me from living as if i had it. similarly, i know that someone has the capability of monitoring every action i take online, honestly, who would care? So my privacy isn't necessarily real, does it matter if it's someone's day-job to monitor what me along with 40 other people do with their time?

    and if you're of a particular mindset... similarly, God watches everything... everything... all the time, everywhere.

    again, who cares?
