Our new Indie Games subforum is now open for business in G&T. Go and check it out, you might land a code for a free game. If you're developing an indie game and want to post about it,
follow these directions. If you don't, he'll break your legs! Hahaha! Seriously though.
Our rules have been updated and given
their own forum. Go and look at them! They are nice, and there may be new ones that you didn't know about! Hooray for rules! Hooray for The System! Hooray for Conforming!

ball peen indeed
Right, which is why I contrasted being moral with being ethical. Morals are "universal laws" which dictate how one ought live their life, where a transgression of said moral would render someone immoral and sliding towards evil. Ethics judges actions and how they effect others. Ethics can call upon morality, but I don't think it's wise for atheists to do so. However, an atheist can have a perfectly sound ethical structure that allows one to commend or reprimand people for their actions, but it's generally based on a mutable belief structure rather than a belief that their are intractable moral laws.
You're arguing the definition of a word with a guy who has like fourteen definitions for "to be".
Just... hope that helps...
You've got to think of something. You don't have much time.
Make it work.

In a magical utopia where they could win by being honest, all else being equal, I would want them to be honest; given that we don't live in said magical utopia, I just want them to win.
Arguing with you is never worthwhile. But for future reference, if you want an explanation or clarification from me about something, you won't ever get one by doing what you did there.

are you or are you not a card-carrying member of the communist party
I too am curious.
I have been flitting from game to game recently, and could happily continue that habit.
No. But I do think that morality is based on speculation and the belief that "rational" individuals are capable of grasping metaphysical, abstract concepts that do not arise from physical interaction. Generally atheists, or at least English speaking atheists, are firmly rooted in the Anglo-American Empiricist/Pragmatist tradition and would chortle at such nonsense.
So relax. It's literally out of your hands. I mean your choices are literally revolution or complacency, and since nobody is going to grab pitchforks for realsies, why stress?

Seriously. I'd actually even be okay with it if he didn't start off with a fucking emo piano riff. I just muted and logged onto the forums.
As you would expect, it runs like all of their games. You have what look like teams of a driver and a few mechanics, whom you hire like in game dev story. you have them train; they get auras which you can use in race or training; you research upgrades and then pay to install them -- the parts themselves and the overall car all gain xp and can be upgraded the way employees are. The driver levels up skills during races, which are one lap. You can tear down cars for research data, but I didn't read the explanation on how to do it and am trying to find it now.

"Liberal" isn't a very good qualification for office. Obama is liberal, look what we got; a politician who embarrasses his party by endlessly trying to compromise with a group of people who have all but delivered stone tablets to his door which say "LOL WE WILL NEVER, EVER COMPROMISE WITH YOU ABOUT ANYTHING. EVER. ESPECIALLY IF WE THINK IT MIGHT POSSIBLY MAKE YOU LOOK BETTER TO THE PUBLIC LOL."
So maybe the Democrats need to start digging deeper and find people who are pragmatic and have spines to begin with, both traits I mentally associate with honesty, which I admit could be a huge mistake on my part. But I certainly don't associate those traits with "Just say whatever they want to hear, as long as we get elected."
Just glancing at that game in my Steam library makes me piss myself.
I'd rather have a short-term solution to a long-term problem than a total non-solution.
I want the liberal Karl Rove. Let's fucking win some motherfucking elections, and hopefully fucking annihilate the Republican party electorally in the process. I want them to be a textbook example in future history books of what happens when liberals finally get off their ass and show a little spine. And I want those "future history books" to be written in about ten years, and to be the only place you see the Republican party mentioned.
I'm so jealous that my grandfather got to play under Vince Lombardi.
I actually got to the point where I could enjoy Dwarf Fortress, and still haven't really ever figured out the basics of SotS.
Yay NFL...the F is for freaks!
I've really been liking v-necks recently. Either plain v-neck tshirts or when it's cooler, thin v-neck sweaters. My favorite casual-but-not-slobby outfit is a solid colored v-neck sweater, sleeves pulled up my forearms, with light blue jeans and a dark slip-on shoe.
It's pouring again.
Fuck you, Rick Perry. Stop pissing off your silly god so the people who need this rain can have it!

I disagree, but entirely respect your position.
I don't believe a disbelief in a supernatural being insists on disbelief in any and all things had cannot be examined solely through rigid empiricism.
But then, perhaps I'm part of the unnamed minority your post alluded to.
only downside to living where i do is that I'm surrounded by undergrads that like to party.
if i had a lawn, kids would be all up on it right now.

v-neck sweaters own.
But dogg, dark denim.
I own some dark blue jeans but no black ones. I gave away a lot of my clothes when I got fat and depressed and thought I'd never be this weight again.
dark blue jeans are where it is at. I can't pull off black jeans.
Glad to hear you're still on the wellness path, though!
