    I would not doubt that. There are a lot of things that are 'off' about me, and even more that I keep to myself.

    I tried seeing a 'shrink' before, but she seemed to fixate on a non-existent daddy issue. Didn't really go anywhere.

    You are assuming (most likely incorrectly) that every warhead we have is sitting at the top of a missile...

    It's the supposed number of warheads we have. I don't think he realized that they are not all kept sitting on missiles at the ready...

    Aaaah, thanks.

    Hmm. Why do you associate Point of View with porn, eh? ;)

    Unless you switch clean your cookies, session, and switch IP.

    But that's a lot of work for the gain :/

    Then explain how a minor contact high made me fly off the handle? The guys smoking it had entirely normal reactions to it, and yet I had a distinct and strong urge to break things and/or people.

    Not everyone reacts the same way to chemicals. I, for instance, cannot take most 'nighttime' medicines, as doing so will put only a part of my mind out, leaving me wide awake and in very weak control of my impulses.

    I think things would go better if they stopped saying "made legal" or "legalized."

    Rather, it should be the lifting of a prohibition. Saying "made legal" or "legalized" implies it's use is advocated, rather than merely allowed.

    Can I ask that you define "POV" in this context? It's not linking to anything that fits.

    Using something that looks like a Furry porn drawing for a mascot is probably not wise.

    (look on the AROS page, top-right).

    No, sir, I don't like it. I also don't like GNOME Shell.

    I guess I'm sticking with KDE.

    There is no shooting license.

    The point is they took your gun, or your ability to use it. They should not be able to do that. In Blizzards case, they CAN, but they shouldn't.

    Ooooh but there's a tiny chance you might be A DIRTY PIRATE!

    Lets make an analogy! (if you find shooting objectionable for some reason, pick any sport you can practice on your own in addition to competing)

    Lets say you like to shoot competitively. Someone finds out that you've been cheating in order to get your trophies.

    Exactly how would you feel if you were then disallowed from ever shooting at targets again, even noncompetitively (by yourself, aka plinking)?

    That's essentially what Blizzard did, and you are saying you support.

    That's fine.

    But I'll be quite upset should I find out I'm not allowed to play poker in my own home.

    "disfluency" != "speech disfluency"

    ... not to mention those places were the author(s) were clearly unable to articulate an idea.

    If you have to reread a phrase 20 times, and it's NOT because of some jargon you've never seen before... the editor failed to do their job.

    Hopefully you would have felt something wrong before it was too late.

    You should always do a quick perimeter check before you drive anyways, just in case. You never know!
