I don’t think anyone was being very serious about this being an actual goal. Besides, the issue was held unconstitutional long ago.
Forcing someone to jump through hoops to get a safe procedure is stupid.
Get or don’t get vasectomies or tube-tying, I don’t care. I care when someone thinks it’s okay to second-guess that choice. But, yes, there have been lawsuits where someone argued that allowing a patient to get one of these procedures was malpractice.
@Lotherio said in What Types of Games Would People Like To See?:
No one made a move, but theoretically a player should be able to move to the top, I was more focused on the other Fifths and them wanting to stomp the PC Fifth.
To be fair, I was making a move but kept on getting my head cut off.
It's like someone stole my crib notes for the game I have in development.
This looks totally awesome.
I swear I'm going to get to reviewing that Google docs file this weekend, my friend. I will follow up with my thoughts then.
Would love to have you on-board too, @Lisse24, if that's okay with Lotherio and his crew.
Regarding the stupid, arcane chicanery of bankruptcy courts:
EDIT: Moved posts on request from this Game Development thread to the Hog Pit thread about the same game.
Just read this, and feel slight excitement.
I read that last word as "excrement," and found it appropriate.
Mass Effect with Arx’s code.
I said it.
I just don’t understand this.
Some of my favorite “masculine” shows and movies were helmed or directed by women.
The Witcher. The Punisher. Bumblebee.
Women aren’t just on the rise; their shit is damn good.
@macha said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
I too, had an anger issue. I was a little raging Wolverine, at times when I got pushed too far. (who knew being abused would make me lash out. /s ) (That is obviously not her reason.)
Actually, she isn't really the angry sort. Based on her diagnosis, she has difficult controlling her emotions, quite literally. She can get very sad and very happy and very angry. I am told it is part of her spectrum, along with her uncanny ability with language (her Spanish teacher has told us she is nearly fluent at the first grade level for native speakers, and neither I nor my partner speak it any better than 'yo quiero taco bell').
I pity the fools that get her truly mad. Between TKD, hip hop dance, and biking an hour a day, she has legs of frackin' steel. I have no doubt that a kick in the groin to some poor boy would result in a hospital visit. Me, though, I don't really care, but, sometimes, if the wookiee wants a double-chocolate muffin, let the wookiee win.
@Lemon-Fox said in Spitballing for a supers Mush:
Nothing, tbh. This is why I think it should be OCs only. I don't care if someone is 'inspired' by canon heroes, like @Lotherio 's mention of an Iron Mike, etc.
@roz said in Good Anime:
Wait, Transformers doesn't fit this definition? The original series was literally animated by Toei.
I'm not beholden to my statement, so I will replace it with "Bugs Bunny."
So amended.
@derp said in So I read a thing... [Yet Another City of Hope Hate Post]:
Also given that we've turned to game development we should probably move this to an appropriate place.
I warned everyone about making me do work here, but if you want me to move this discussion I would be happy to do it so that I can lay into this shithole of a game to my heart's content without worrying about clipping a conversation in passing.
@ortallus said in Real World Peeves, Disgruntlement, and Irks.:
It is a core precept of MODERN, which is to say LATE-STAGE capitalism.
Better?
Not really.
People use "late-stage" as if to suggest that it's going to lead to something different and less abusive. No one I've listened to or read has proposed any inevitable outcome, and people have been predicting the death-knell for capitalism -- from right-wing crackpots to left-wing pundits -- since I was a little kid. And I can't say that this is "modern" capitalism because it is contrary to everything I learned of "modern" theories on capitalism.
No, we live in a time of abusive capitalism, which isn't going to work under actual capitalist precepts. And we can talk until we are blue in the face as to why this is, but it's not going to get us anywhere.
Socialism is a modest improvement to this, but only insofar as the people who do end up controlling the means of production aren't dickbags which, if homeowners' associations are any indication, won't be the case.
@lotherio said in Developing a WoD Codebase for Ares:
Any mummy except the Saqqara mummies, their opening brought the curse of 2020.
Pretty sure their curse was The Mummy released in 2017.
@ortallus said in Health and Wealth and GrownUp Stuff:
I was once getting kicked by a kid on public transit, and I turned around and said to the kid's mother, "If you don't make them stop, I will."
Daughter: Hey, that kid cut in line.
Partner: She did.
Daughter: Why?
Partner: (loud enough so the other kid's parent could hear) Because some people don't teach their kids what's right or wrong or what will end up with them getting their ass handed to them.
I like them both a lot.
It’s interesting, but the task of world-building seems Herculean.
