The difference between the two being particularly notable as someone who lives in Florida... the former is most often a native and the latter most often a tourist.
That is actually a well reasoned point which makes me reconsider my position somewhat. However overall I think that sort of structuring, like the idiot CEO defense, has been deliberately used to cover for these kinds of fuckups enough that it's time to start holding "Sony" the larger entity responsible regardless. If they're so big they can't control this kind of shit it's time to break them up.
Exactly. This is like putting a decent U-Lock on a bicycle. You're not going to make your bike unstealable, you're just going to make it not worth the effort for anyone that doesn't specifically want to steal YOUR bike with professional grade tools.
Thanks for explicitly clarifying that you don't want equality but rather superiority. You're perfectly fine with an entire game full of brutal violence against men, but you want the game mechanics to forcibly prevent the player from harming a woman.
Actually it's 70% of non-reciprocal violence committed by women, and 50/50 of reciprocal violence. Furthermore that study is heavily affected by methodological problems such as their gender restricted definition of rape (male victims are classified as "other").
No that was the answer to why you're incapable of recognizing that HedgeMage answered "how do I get my 4 year old to be a programmer" and did not make any "rambles" or whatever other negative dismissal you want to make of her well organized and clear message about girls, kids, and software.
Your problem is that you not only don't know what spoons are but your entire worldview and ideology is incapable of recognizing that such a device COULD exist. To you the very concept of an eating utensil inherently excludes spoons... So when you ask why your eating utensils don't work for shit when it comes to soup and get answers you think are nonsensical the problem here is you, not the people saying "use a damned spoon".
HedgeMage answered your question, you just can't wrap your head around the idea that anything OTHER than some vast gender conspiracy is at work here. To you the very concept of the problem inherently requires it. So when you ask "How do I get my 4 year old girl to be a programmer" and someone points out the answer is the same way you get ANYONE to be a programmer, and that your gender FUD is counter-productive and harmful, you think you're getting a garbage answer when the problem is really your inability to accept the answer.
You've got all those words backwards except "anecdote". This actually has a sense of perspective unlike the usual FUD, it's consistent with all the data we've got (again unlike the usual FUD), and it has a clear central premise around which everything including the anecdotes are based.
Let me quote another woman to explain the problem you're having with accepting HedgeMage's arguments:
However we are dealing with an ideology which defines women exclusively as Victims. Therefore women who fail to fulfill the role of Victim must be broken and returned to their proper place. They must be subject to abuse or de-feminized and told they have been corrupted by patriarchal ideology.
Women are supported and encouraged but they are only supported and encouraged to be broken and helpless. They are kept within a set archetype.
The attacks on women now make sense. It's a paradoxical cycle where people abuse women to justify the claim that women need to be defended. Defenders never question their behavior because it is justified by the existence of the victim which they themselves created.
3 mile island scale... you mean a media induced panic over a non-event that hasn't harmed anyone, compared to the absolutely devastating cost of coal alone to the environment and human life?
With proportional voting a minority party in the US system would still be largely locked out because of Duverger's Law and the two major parties would exploit proportional voting using large numbers of less populous districts to outweigh more densely populated urban areas. With instant runoff voting people can vote for whoever they want without having to worry about Duverger's Law screwing them.
Point being this isn't some technological leap, it's a high-res pack slapped over an old accomplishment. You want to impress me with a new technology show me Battlefield's destruction engine taken to the next level without performance issues. Show many raytracing that's feasible on normal hardware. Don't show me something from 10 years ago and say "LOOK, MORE POLYGONS!"
Exactly. "safe" districts shift the major contest from each side fighting over the middle to the "safe" side fighting with itself over who can appeal to more zealots.
Actually if anything they're more serious than the external ones. In an ordinary district the candidates from each major party have to compete for a majority of voters. In a gerrymandered "safe" district the other side is never going to win in the first place so the real contest isn't between each side but rather during the primary to see who's can be more extreme.
See the problem with R is that a lot of departments requiring it aren't teaching it as a programming language, they're trying to teach it like it's SPSS with a command line. Nobody ever learns what's actually going on under the hood or how to actually manipulate the data, they just know that hitting buttons in the right order SHOULD make it do a regression.
Which at least helps with finding things about R, but doesn't help with the fact R is an enormous pain in the ass if you learned to use it from the kind of person that still thinks like they're using SPSS or STATA.
Posting a bunch of links of people doing things like fighting to keep raping men from being outlawed under the banner of "feminism" is a "massive MRA rant"? MRA's are now interchangeable with "channer trolls/opportunists/dupes"? Looks more like you've just decided to add "MRA" to a list of interchangeable cliches that you slap on anyone you disagree with to justify covering your eyes and rejecting whatever contradicts your worldview.
You posted "actually it's about ethics" with the intention of mocking that insistence. I posted "actually it's about equality" with a whole bunch of evidence of "feminists" doing things that are patently anti-equality (yknow, like trying to keep rape legal or harming domestic violence victims).
BTW Shadow, FWIW, the tactics of your fellow MRAs/channer trolls/opportunists/dupes lead me to actually sit down and watch Anita Sarkeesian's video series the other week. Well, I had to. And yes, it will impact some of my work in future, she makes some excellent points. Me, myself, probably won't make a difference to you, but I know plenty of others who have done the same. And by coming out into the open, you've also made it easier for us to see you, for me to, for example, warn my daughter (when she's old enough, I'm not going to scare the shit out of her right now) about the extremists in your group who write articles like "How to get away with rape" and "How to break a woman".
So thank you - to you and the people you defend and associate with - for making it easier to arm my daughter, and for ensuring I, and legions of other men who seriously had thought sexism against women was nothing like as serious as it is, open our eyes and start fighting for equality.
Seriously? "how to get away with rape"? You're just going to make shit up and try to pin it on me by associating me with some ridiculously hyperbolic villain cliche? What's next, moustache twirling and tying people to the train tracks?
You want to talk about "getting away with rape"? I just gave you a link to people literally fighting to stop rape from being outlawed. I just gave you a link to research publications discussing real harm done to real domestic violence victims, and real articles mocking domestic violence and victims. I gave you links to live videos of people committing felonies. If it's people talking about getting away with rape and breaking someone with abuse you want to talk about how about we talk about the mainstream people in your group that I've already supplied actual proof of.
Also you realise that you're rushing to defend as "[making] some excellent points" a whorephobic thief and plagiarist that's been caught repeatedly making patently untrue claims and generally passing off anti-feminist sexshaming nonsense as "feminist critique", right? You're talking about someone that shit all over Bayonetta, which is widely considered to be one of the single most positive feminist icons in gaming, and will plug a book she's got ties to before the bodies of dead kids are even cold?

That's what I meant. Posting too early in the morning...

We're talking about the company that put a rootkit on its music CDs.
The hysteria of McCarthyism hasn't gone anywhere, it's just found a different topic to obsess over and a different target.
It also has to do with who stayed and who left.
Politicians set up the next person from their party for votes.
Problem is a huge proportion of those people are black, and in America blacks almost always vote democrat.

first past the post isn't what's doing that, not having instant runoff style ballots is.
Admitting to this degree of incompetence should be considered negligence, not a defense.
Looking at screenshots I don't see anything Serious Sam wasn't doing a decade ago, the only difference is updated graphics.
