  1. Re:Rephrasing the question makes it even easier on Should Scientists Date People Who Believe Astrology? · · Score: 1

    If you reject someone flat out for petty reasons like not having the same spirituality, you shouldn't respect yourself.

    Find someone who makes you laugh and enjoy your short time on the Earth, and if they belief in pink unicorns, spaghetti monsters, or jesus christ, who gives a shit.

  8. Re:The way the world really works on Student Faces Expulsion for Facebook Study Group · · Score: 1

    I would argue the opposite point. You should often work by yourself.

    Yes working with others is important, but you need to learn how to solve problems without relying on others. When two people work on the same problem, it is only worth it if you solve it twice as fast as you would have working alone. So most problems are more efficient to solve yourself, especially if you have experience doing that. In that way you improve your groups performance by not constantly asking them for help.

    I am in a 'group' at work, but I have my job and I only collaborate with my teammates when it comes to larger issues or when I am truly stuck, and the less I need them the more time they can spend on their work, and vice versa.

    Distributing work is efficient, and too many cooks often spoil the food. Extreme (multiperson) programming is rarely efficient.

    Also, the less you need your peers, the less replaceable you look.

  15. Re:I Hope MMOs All Die on The Future of MMOs · · Score: 4, Interesting

    It's not the theme, it's the gameplay.

    I want something that will shake to the core. Something that doesn't feel scripted.

    No more quests from NPCs, no more boring and predictable leveling (ding, new skill!), no designed 'tanks' and 'healers'. I'm not sure exactly what I want, but I'm bored of the gameplay. I want more chaos, combats that require realtime strategizing and role changes during the flow.

    I would also like improved customization. It's impossible to be unique in these games. Sad that they work so hard on graphics and then you choose from faces 1-8, and all wear the same armor. Make me feel special. I want to design my own emotes, and design my own abilities.

    Just some crazy ramblings though...I ain't expecting anything.

    I always read that as:

    There may exist more than two, but only two work together, because master Siths don't trust each other, or are killed by their padawans. Siths don't have more than 1 padawan because the padawans would probably off each other in the competition anyway. (remember how palpatine wanted luke as his apprentice...probably to replace vader who was getting old and independent...so he wanted luke to kill his father, lose himself to darkness, and then become the next padawan)
