desc I went to an indoor rock climbing thing tonight and it was good but my body hurts now, for I am weak like babby
also I started coming up with some flavour-bites for the AW game that slowly congealed into an idea for something akin to a post-apocalyptic Pacific Northwest, where the ghost-firs and their ivory needles rustle in the wind and their bark flakes off like ash
may need further thought/wait and see what you jerks come up with
Ooh
I will try to give this serious thought tonight. Hmm.
I spent much of yesterday reading Marvel Heroic* and Warbirds**. Scheduling of any new games is going to be the big trick.
at least someone called in to ask if Putin knew what day he decided to be straight, since he claims its a choice
and also the international olympic committee called out as cowards, which they are
Their guests don't think the legislation is, politically, about homosexual rights at all. It's just the blunt instrument that was handy in Russia's political swing to blame everything on Western society, decadence, and gay people are a convenient scapegoat (because they couldn't get traction by targeting other minorities). The old "oh no it's not our fault your lives are shit, it's their fault" cry of the conservative ruling class

That reminds me: Did David Cameron ever elaborate when he said there were "better ways" of dealing with the Russian Anti-gay Laws than boycotting the Olympics?

What's sad is that the Soviet Union was very progressive initially on these sorts of issues.
I wonder what would have happened in Russia if Stalin hadn't tied homosexuality to fascism.

That's an obvious endorsement for this sort of behavior in my opinion.

Odds on the answer is Big Society. And maybe Jesus. Possibly how the J Sizzle invented Big Society.

I remember the old days of the G&T chat thread. We hit 100 pages and then everybody made a new chat thread flooding the entire subforum until a mod came along and locked/deleted the extra ones.
That was a terrible system.

Or Okay System That Everyone Just Dealt With Because Hey Waddayagonnado.

I am not 100% sold on some of the warbirds setting but I want to run it anyway.
Everyone likes crimson skies / talespin / air pirates and so on
god do I want more crimson skies.
open world crimson skies. Persistent multiplayer as well.
Also, with a russia where the revolution has gone on and is at more of a standstill and is now fragmented like the Crimson Skies US.
That would be excellent.
Also it would be impossible for the customization options for planes to be too detailed -- visually, too. I demand endless options for painting my plane.

and if that doesn't work
tax breaks for big business and more deregulation for banks

The Soviets were never nice to the gays. Or the Jews. Or gypsies.
They were absurdly progressive when it came to women but yeah I'm unaware of any other groups that that worked with.
It is interesting to note that the difference in time between the first Russian man and woman into space was two years, whereas the difference in time between the Americans was about twenty.

Twitter's not so bad. Just never say anything on it.

I actually agree completely here.
Boycotting the olympics doesn't seem like the best way to get results. IE, be an effective protest.
apparently some americans are going to hold a vodka-dumping protest against the russian law
p-please
not the vodka
Americans are dumb.
If I recall correctly that company is headed by a guy who's pretty not-homophobic?
Yeah.

Also "I AM GOING TO BOYCOTT YOU BY PURCHASING YOUR PRODUCT THEN DESTROYING IT AND GETTING OTHERS TO DO THE SAME" is hilariously dumb, but maybe it cancels out with a non homophobic company or something.
Also I want to go gym climbing aaaahhh it looks rad.
Check meetup.com or something, maybe, that is what I did, that way you secure a partner in the process
I have been thinking about maybe doing yoga since you've gotten into it and I live only to imitate you
speaking of which I am doing a zen session tomorrow
I was too nervous to do yoga forever but now I love it. I definitely the difference in my body because I do not get enough exercise or stretching so I am usually walking around tense and achy.
Meditation is super boring but good for mental non-craziness.

Russia has never been great with homosexuals
comes with being a very relgious country
It was decriminalized under Lenin, which put them 40 years ahead of the United States.
being better than the US does not make them progressive
Alright, but it still made them better than most countries in the world except for France, Turkey, Mexico, and good portions of central and south America. Under Lenin, the Soviets were pretty damn progressive on this front. But then he died and Stalin was a dick.
