GTA and Saint's Row were the only one's I could think of that had prostitutes. Besides, maybe Red Dead Redemption. Did Fall Out have prostitutes? Not something I typically associate with Bethesda, but given the setting it'd seem plausible.
Just Cause 2, and I assume Just Cause. Don't remember seeing any prostitutes in that one. I don't think I've ever seen a prostitute in any of the Elder Scrolls game.
So that's seven games there.
Oh and we can't forget one the most popular ones... Minecraft.
Okay, fair enough, but I think the overarching point is relevant. People/journalists, that argue about the misogyny in games bring up that there aren't enough (good) female characters or story themes that appeal/cater to women. But if gender doesn't matter, why does it matter that the Master Chief is male. If men and women were really no different, why does it matter that most of the big titles are FPS or action games?
Right, just because you're aware of the error doesn't mean you're not still in error. At some level, you're assuming whore woman. Honestly, I was giving you the benefit of the doubt that you wouldn't prejudge another person and assume some negative attribute about them based on little to no information about said person. Next time, I'll just assume you're unfairly characterizing another person.
"...the fact that you think women need different types of games kind of make you misogynistic in your thinking..."
Slow down there sparky. It's a common complaint that there aren't enough female main characters even though half the gamers are female. So who's the misogynist now?
Who said anything about papers laying around. Is the password manager on a computer hooked up to the internet? Then it's less safe than a piece of paper in a safe or locked drawer. With a password manager, anyone that is able to infect your computer has the opportunity to get your passwords. Most cyber criminals are not going to break into your house just so they can try to find a piece of paper with your passwords on it. You should already have a safe or something like it where you keep your important documents anyway. Birth certificate, social security card, passport, etc. Is that method of storage somehow not worthy enough for a piece of paper with your passwords?
Not necessarily. Security questions are essentially the same thing as passwords in every respect, except they're giving a clue as to their answer. But there are ways to make security questions secure, some of which are the same for passwords. A) use sentences to answer the question. They may know your pet is named "Scout" but will they probably won't know the answer if it's, "My third pet who was a dog was named scout" (assuming you could use that long of answer). B) Security questions could be determined by the user, instead of from a selection by the system. This enables you to pick questions that can be very hard to glean from social media or other sources. E.g. What was the last thing my father said to me before he died. C) Email notifications of password reset attempts. Some sites do this, others don't. If someone goes into "forgot password" option and sees your security questions, an email is sent notifying you that someone saw your security questions or attempted to reset the password; whether they tried to guess the questions or not. This could give you an opportunity to change the security questions if you feel a compromise is probable.
Let me warn you of my opinion in advance. This saves time later when trying to decide whether you should have an intelligent conversation with me on the subject.
Using a password manager is pretty much the same thing as writing down your password. And personally, I think it's less secure than writing the password down on paper and storing it securely.
The point of security questions are to have things that you can remember without having to write them down. If you input random crap like you and others are suggesting you're just extending the stupidity to a different level OR being needlessly redundant, because then you have to write down what that stupid crap was. Which might as well be the same thing as writing down your password.
I don't think you need JavaScript to accomplish what he said. I vaguely remember something similar being done on a recent project using Wicket and Java.
Paints a different picture depending on your perspective. I find the odd split between NetApplications and the others as indicative that somewhere the statistics are as robust as they could be.
Even with less biased news the analogy is still wildly skewed.
For the analogy to work. Mexico would need a portion of Mexico seeking to secede, and potentially join the US (of which the US has at least expressed vocal support of). But all of that is moot, as Russia does have Russian troops in that country. No one who is at least partially objective can deny that. Uniquely Russian main battle tanks do not suddenly get taken by vacationing Russian soldiers. Unless you're suggesting that the Russian military is completely horrible and is incapable of keeping track of its military assets, particularly crucial weapon and vehicle assets.
Banning and making one language the official governmental language are two different things though, that have been conflated by people seeking to stoke tension. Ask India about this difference. India has a National language, that is used for National politics, official documentation, etc. And then they have provincial/regional official languages, and then town/cultural languages/dialects. If I'm to believe one of my Indian coworkers, a native Indian is a expected learn at least 3 languages/dialects in their life. National, provincial, and local. I understand the concern, and it is to some degree valid, but it's been overblown by those seeking to derail Ukrainians attempts at reforming their government.
The UK's legal system is different than Ukraine's yes? And if I remember correctly for how the UK is comprised, it's a federated system already. Scotland, Wales, England, Northern Ireland are all countries that are a part of the UK.
Gah there's a video about it somewhere out there....
ah! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rNu8XDBSn10
Paraphrased from the introduction:
The UK is not a single country, but a country of countries. Consisting of 4 co-equal and sovereign nations.
So under that factoid, Scotland has every right to create a referendum of its citizens about secession from the UK.
I'd think the question would be, if we can create a generational spaceship, what's the purpose of creating a colony on a planet we'd have troubles adapting to? Instead we'd just build an orbiting space station around the planet and mine it using robots.

I assumed they ran, because the Iraqi military always runs. Hell, instead of the French being synonymous with retreat or surrender, the Iraqis should.

GAAH! "If and only if" !!!!

Wait, aren't you being sexist by assuming that only whores are women?
"Almost all adult "open world" style games feature prostitutes"
Not sure GTA and Saint's Row account for "almost all" open world games.

Sure hope the password on your PM is good...or no one manages to get a key logger on your computer.

The problem with page hit statistics is they are influenced by outside factors. Type of people that go to wikipedia, etc.

I don't think Benjamin Franklin had invented the internet yet though...
http://www.gutenberg.org/ is a good one for older books.
But the ebook thing isn't an issue for me. I buy hard copy for like 90% of my books.
