which is a pipe dream so don't worry!
Brad DeLong? The guy that gave us NAFTA? My criticisms of him largely lie in my criticisms of NAFTA. I check his blog from time to time. It's linked to fairly often in the blogosphere I frequent.
1. it is the most gorgeous thing, ever
2. gameplay is hella solid. Never gets frustrating.
3. the soundtrack, my god.
4. Story is great, but the greatest thing about it all is that it's told in a manner that can only be done by this medium. There are games that tell their story like a book does, and there are games that tell their story like it's a movie; I've never seen a game tell it like it's a game, not this well.
Why do you say it's a pipe dream?
It really does have the greatest pimp strut.
I'd say Nier does number 4 too. Although it's a real flawed gem, so I wouldn't recommend it too highly.

Truly.
And it's well-timed.

I know but it's still super frustrating. the anti-human caused climate change crowd is so fucking pigheaded. it is highly similar to arguing about evolution.
has anyone come up with a method better than a) moving the entire bed aside or b) getting a broom and knocking all the debris out from underneath the bed with big sweeping motions
the pro-human caused climate change crowd can be equally pigheaded
as someone who has argued with the same kind of person but politically mirrored
Yes, the guy who maintained and continues to maintain that NAFTA was a net benefit. He is most representative of the American brand of Clintonian third-way (neo)liberalism in the academic blogs, mostly because he was actually part of it. Also because he vociferously insults everyone and anyone, so arguing with him always generates traffic.
I regard "local representation and government" as vulnerable to organized capital and other social institutions with non-egalitarian instincts - fundamentally one has organized capital at supernational scales and this is the efficient way to mobilize very large amounts of labour and capital, so it's not going to go away as long as we desire the material wealth they can produce. But crushing nascent localist nationhood at the heel of economic forces is not, I suppose, palatable, even if it done in the name of The People.
As a political-economy problem, bluntly people vote for leaders they identify with rather than their narrow class interest - unless they first identify with their class, which (let us acknowledge) they don't - so one has the permanent problem of local leaders extracting hilarious amounts of rent by continually waving the specter of Foreigners. Nationalism is a potent force - far more potent than unity of the working class, as World War I taught us.
water and one of them big window-cleaning like tools which I don't know the name of in english
get on your stomach and use a rag for the corners
Someone isn't going to "accidentally" create conscious A.I. that's just not how the real world works.
I also don't believe in the singularity.

so... it's a pipe dream because we can't do it now?
honestly political evangelism is a full-time career here - the field is too complex and any sources you, an amateur, can quote are easily countered by a slightly-better-trained opposition researcher who is easily available via Google
which will give your interlocutor the experience of watching you make an amateur statement, and then he finds some source that deconstructs your statement and shows precisely what is wrong with it, and then you have to revise what you said and hedge and qualify because climate change is Complicated, and then he finds a yet more sophisticated source that picks apart your current stance, etc. If you think anyone is going to walk away from an experience of You Being Continually Wrong with more uncertainty in their position (as a rational Bayesian might) rather than less, you have far more faith in human nature than I think is reasonable
Watch out for Cre. They'll snip your lox right out.
when both are awkward, you'd have stronger awkwardness
when they're in opposition you'd have destructive interference and get some sort mean-level awkwardness
We'll be dead so yeah. It is a pipe dream
It always looks like it's about to drop a load and it has gigantic feet for stability.
Petman has a pimp strut and wears people shoes.
Speak for yourself. I'm going to live to be 100, easy.
No, not when the awkward waves are in phase, in which case you get awkward amplification.
that's not what pipe dream means at all
