    Sympathy is irrelevant. It's about the best way to get to the goal of not having smokers annoy other people.

    i am talking about people who just smoke while walking down the street

    and a ban is going to do anything about that?

    uh, yes?

    it may not eradicate smoking outdoors because it's super hard to enforce and some people just don't care and will eat a ticket or whatever

    but certainly some people- goody two shoes people who are very afraid of breaking the law- would think 'i'll just wait until i get home to light up'

    but that's not really the point i'm trying to make, about the efficacy of such a ban

    i'm mostly just saying i don't feel any sympathy for the treaded-upon smokers who are told they can't smoke in X places. carcinogenischwitz.

    let's... not talk about sympathy here.

    anyway

    incentives and disincentives work better together

    you tell people, hey don't smoke here, it's not allowed

    and you say smoke here, look at how nice it is

    and most people will do as told.

    i'm not talking about what works best. you are having a separate conversation with yourself.

    I know you aren't

    I don't want to have the conversation you are having

    Haha then don't talk to him when he's having it, jeez.

    I can't get off without talking to chu

    Don't do it! You start with 4 colors and have to unlock the rest. It's horribly horrible and awful. And bad.

    It's not like it takes a few round either. It's somewhere verging on one hundred rounds played that you can unlock a color pack. You don't even get all the primary colors.

    There were a few negative reviews but there were also positive ones that disagreed completely with the negative ones, so we'll see.

    Just buy the 99 cent version without ads. They give you enough coins to unlock a color pack right away, so you can at least have the primaries and secondaries. The fact that you can buy bombs seriously pisses me off though.

    Which does make the actually good drawings from MS Paint all the crazier, but yeah

    Masochism

    I think Draw Something drawings I've seen have generally worked only if you come at it painting style. Trying to get good linework out of that pen tool is doubtful, but you could block out color, probably start with darker tones and then dab layers of lighter tones on top, working your way to the highlights.

    I liked the procedural pen on the other drawing guessing game: it was quick and amusing.

    There is such a thing as a bad way to die.

    Getting trampled by 12 year olds while trying to protect the newest Simon Cowell based manufactured pop supergroup would proooobably be one of them.
