I may have made a [chat] about System Shock 2.
Just fantastic.
On the plus side, this [chat] gives me an idea for the next time I get to make a [chat].
You did it all wrong. You are a bad person and you should feel bad.
Yeah, and likewise reform is carried out by finding the one sympathetic individual; this was great when liberalism is principally concerned over gaining minority interests entry into a mainstream political society. Emotionalism operates best at strengthening special interests; great insofar as said special interest should be strengthened because it is presently unfairly weak. But emotional narrative is not quite so concerned with evaluating that last condition.
In the abstract we say that liberal reform entails general improvement but in practice it is often politically necessary to package such improvement as part of a emotionally compelling narrative; we operate a lot more like how we like our fiction than we might claim.
instead of locked
it's nice
It's less harsh sounding.
I am going to go ahead and punt that question to Will or Jeffe because I am about to crash and I don't know what kind of precendent we have for that sort of thing. What exactly do you have in mind?
Because "E's" are dumb.
I saw them in concert on Wednesday.
Only problem with them live, is that her voice isn't really strong enough to break thru the music. It was almost impossible to hear her.
Someone from [chat] was having a conversation with me earlier about Israel, and how hard it is to have meaningful conversations (and learning) going on without every Tom, Dick and Harry baying about genocide or other useless white noise. I was idly considering something like "only post if you are from the Middle East or if you have unique experience or formal study regarding the region" or whatever. It'd be really nice to have kind of a mini-Wiki of amassed information and discussion from people who did more than read the Wikipedia page.
Blast from the past: world's best headline
I'm impressed. Annoyed, but impressed.
It's pretty much all gold on that site.
this sounds pretty annoying actually, and more that you just want to dismiss a view point that you don't like
I think it makes sense. The internet has a tendency to have a lot of Wikipedia educated "experts" who don't know any more about a given situation then what they read on Wikipedia.
Actual experience and/or actual study of the situation in question is much more valuable than a wikipedia entry.
Yes.
Okay, let's look at the "Steelcase Please" and oh my it's like £200...
Maybe I could get my siblings to help me out here.
FOR A CHAIR?!?!?!
1 CHAIR?!?!?!
Not like a full set, but just 1 chair?! Preposterous!
Mine is of a similar bint and I got it second hand for £60.
It's a chair designed for offices and is usually bought in bulk.
I am not referring to a specific view point; I reject many positions that are characterized as pro-Israel and many that are characterized as anti-Israel. However, the nature of the topic is such that any attempt at discussion of worthy opinions- opinions merited by renowned economists and historians, human rights leaders and military figures, established journalists and those with first hand anecdotal experience, etc- is often obscured by all of the nonsense that comes with something so polarizing. It's a big enough problem that I receive countless requests, questions, and miscellaneous thoughts from people who are interested in the topic but are aware of the divergence and the speciousness of any loosely moderated, unverifiable narrative.
Believe it or not, I'm not at all interested in having a circle jerk where I only deem views similar to mine as 'smart enough'. I just think there is some promise to the idea of offering constraints, so people yearning for knowledge don't need to spend their time (and apply their admitted ignorance) filtering out shit like the Protocols of the Elders of Zion or nonsense like 'I heard from a friend who was over there that Palestinians rape Jewish schoolchildren en masse'.
I understand if some people are interested in a more open and less restrictive discourse. That's fine. I participate in those all the time. It's just an idea, for people who don't want to waste time. *shrug*
Celeste [Switch] - She'll be wrestling with inner demons when she comes...
Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age [Switch] - Sit down and watch our game play itself
Sigma SW9VE w/ 3 16rd mags, green laser sight, case, 100rds of FMJ, 50rds of JHP, and an Uplula for $350.
Good deal?
How many rounds through it?
Acknowledging that the laser sight is probably garbage for that price, it sounds pretty good. Even at bottom shelf prices the freebies are worth probably a good $100, so unless the pistol's beat to shit it sounds like a fine deal if you like the platform.
50rds thru it, I know because it's mine that I am thinking of selling. Just wanted to bounce a price of you to get your opinion.
Great.
