And that basically sums up our current military strategy in a nutshell. We don't want to just beat the other side, we want to make sure there was never even a contest in the first place.
The problem is when you rely entirely on toys to do that you're also simultaneously accepting the huge risk of someone else not playing the same game as you. Just look at Iraq/Afghanistan. We've got something like a 12:1 kill ratio, body armor that routinely saves soldiers' lives outright, weapons that can kill insurgents from far beyond their weapons effective range, and their way of dealing with this is to just keep leaving bombs everywhere for us to stumble into.
Having been on the GPG forums I don't know if I trust them any more than the original developers to put out balance patches. They're as obsessed as TFC and Tribes 2 players were with their arbitrary "gentleman's rules" about how the game ought to be played.
Exactly what I was thinking as well. They want to give away windows 10 to as many people as possible so they can eventually hijack all those people and lock them into a subscription to "Windows".
that is currently actively waging war against the US and its allies. Hmm... where have I heard that before...
Treason against the United States, shall consist only in levying War against them, or in adhering to their Enemies, giving them Aid and Comfort. No Person shall be convicted of Treason unless on the Testimony of two Witnesses to the same overt Act, or on Confession in open Court. The Congress shall have Power to declare the Punishment of Treason, but no Attainder of Treason shall work Corruption of Blood, or Forfeiture except during the Life of the Person attainted.
And don't forgot the modern obsession with blur shaders like bloom and motion blur... despite the fact the human eye blurs anything fast moving anyway.
Because those are going to be the two showstoppers, as always. Until we have VR headsets that are effectively "transparent" to the player biologically they're not going to be more than a gimmick.
No, what they couldn't find was a single study that used actual faculty members in the actual fields being talked about. In other words they couldn't find a single scientifically valid study on the subject. THEIRS actually IS a valid scientific study which properly controls for confounding factors and passed peer review in a major journal.
You're just freaking out because your religion has been offended by the unspeakable heresy of disagreeing with your men-bad-women-victims narrative.
Valve absolutely does bad games, Half-Life 2 and the Episodes are great examples of them. Hell Episodes 1 and 2 were practically textbook examples of going directly from one bad gameplay trope to the next. Escort missions, poorly made infinite-respawning-enemy waiting rooms, a billion barred-door and seesaw physics gimmicks, on-rails "driving" sections, and so much bloom you may as well just stare at a lightbulb in a tub of jello.
Women have a 2:1-4:1 advantage over men in getting STEM field jobs, and utterly dominate the entirety of education to the point of being nearly 2/3rds of graduates. Meanwhile men utterly dominate homelessness, workplace deaths, and are many times more likely to be convicted and incarcerated than a woman is for the same crime. In fact the criminal justice system is SO anti-man that a white male is more likely to go to prison than a black female for the same crime.
But you keep throwing "MRA" into almost every line and paragraph in your posts desperately trying to erase the reality of the situation.
Except for the fact you're lying through your teeth and the entire point IS explicitly to produce the 2:1-4:1 advantage that women are privileged with in STEM fields.
Actually from what I understand the X65F suffers, like pretty much all of saitek's joysticks (and pretty much all joysticks period these days) of a poorly designed centering mechanism. It's like manufacturers have forgotten how to make a joystick that isn't either sloppy in the center or infuriatingly difficult to move past its center detent.
Every single time I read a breitbart article that's well researched, well written, and in defense of liberal values I have to wonder if I'm in the goddamn twilight zone.
And all of those, while certainly abhorrently offensive, don't hold a candle to SRS when it comes to actively seeking out and harming other individuals. I mean ffs SRS went so far as to alter their CSS to automatically post someone's stolen nudes everytime that person's name was mentioned.
To put it in your terms... SRS is the equivalent of an/r/BurningKids that actually goes out and sets children on fire regularly to produce content.
As the other replies to your post have demonstrated doing things your way perversely incentivizes taking offense at things, weaponizing victimhood into the ultimate unassailable "high ground".
citation given and it's not an association fallacy to point out someone whose entire shtick is attempting to claim the moral highground is backing people who are so bigoted it's no longer tripping over godwin's law to point out their beliefs are near identical to nazi ideology.
1. Bahar Mustafa is a blatant bigot who openly abuses her position to discriminate against people she dislikes while using identity politics as a shield. She's joking about as much as any other racist, sexist bigot is ever joking when they talk about how much they hate their chosen target.
2. Die Cis Scum is absolutely meant seriously and was started by a violent sociopath who repeatedly insisted they genuinely meant it as a threat of violence. Considering feminism's history of multiple shootings and near universal violent and/or criminal disruption of events feminists dislike (escalating up to credible bomb threats recently) the "its a joke" excuse is more of an insult than anything else.
3. Feminists publicly and earnestly supported endfathersday because they genuinely believed in it. How it was started has no bearing to the fact feminists genuinely supported it and thought it was a good idea. If anything you actually just made yourself look worse.
It's an undergraduate level political science term actually and it's hardly a conspiracy theory when these people more or less brag about being in the same circles, attending the same cultish indoctrination and groupthink "conferences" (ever notice how creepy XOXO is?), and work together through private mailing lists to blacklist and blackmail people they dislike.
Hell on reddit alone SRS is basically the admin retirement home.
Slashdot Mirror
SoE has a history of completely fucking up games going back at least to Planetside.
It's almost like treating the lines in the ground as a public resource that ISPs can compete to offer service on...

When is slashdot going to fix character vomit... "ââ¦â¦â(TM)"
Or their own commitments? Charter's going to do whatever the fuck it wants to do.

And since they know they can get a bailout from the government they don't care.
That's like saying that slavery is the market wage because of truck systems and the like.

That's a non-question, we already know it's going to cost your anal virginity.

Preferably one that doesn't cost a THOUSAND DOLLARS.
