The Jewish people didn't kill Jesus. Joel Osteen did.

I was under the impression that all of the codebases have it available (or have it default:on), but it isn't used because if it was left on it fill up the DB quickly.

Fact is, theres a lot of willful ignorance to just how easy it would be for these games to spy on your pages/role play anyway.

I don't think it's ignorance, at least not from this crowd. It's more "but that's not how it's supposed to be done."

I meant it more like drinking soda or smoking cigarettes.

There are negatives, but the negatives get overlooked in lieu of the enjoyment they (cigarettes, etc) can bring.

You take it on faith that staff, who you may or may not know, aren't reading pages, invisible and watching you TS, or saving your conversations with personal info. You resign to I'll...raise hell on MSB if I find out, but ultimately it's about faith and ignoring the negative/risks for the benefit.

With most games using insecure telnet and most players unaware that many of their characters/info may have traveled to one dateabase to another every time someone "steals" a codebase...I don't see why it's such a big deal.

People should always assume that without a signed EULA on insecure tech that everything you're doing is potentially recorded/intercepted, and not to send anything over a MU that you wouldn't want staff or someone else who uses the PC/network to know about.

I didn't really have an representational issues with the season finale, but god damn that fire pit scene about broke me in half and gave me a People's Elbow in the feels.

Well done, and one thing I am grateful for is that they announced that they'd be back for another season next year.

Great show.

I have it on good authority that his editor does very little, and that part of the issue with his books coming out so slowly is because his writing method involves hunt and peck typing on Wordstar, and that he meticulously edits his own writing to the point that his own editor waits eons for very few actual editing decisions.

^ Wordstar.

All in all, some of us remember the blog messages about taking time out for the NFL season, about how he did so much damage to the Starks that he wrote himself into a corner, and yet he's added 8 books to his bibliography since A Dance of Dragons and had executive produced another television series (Nightflyers).

As far as I see it, the guy's fiction legacy is now competing against another product (GoT on HBO), and the HBO show has become more popular than his novels. Since the HBO show is allegedly going to have a different ending from his novels, both are ultimately going to be paired up against each other and my guess is the TV show is going to win.

If his novels suck, it would damage the TV show, which I venture he's making more money on than he stands to make from his books. He's 70, has never seen this amount of money and attention, and is definitely overweight and (per my convention friends who spent some time with him) there isn't a pizza that he doesn't like.

Verdict: He doesn't have a Brandon Sanderson lined up and he's coasting on the money while he has a chance to live it up.

@Auspice Saw a thing this morning that said the Easter Bunny is Jesus' Fursona lolol

Getting let out 4 hours early on a Christian holiday when you're not Christian.

I'm shoplifting the fuck outta this resurrection thing.

THANK YOU, ROMAN EMPIRE!

@Ghost I'll see you with both of them in 3019

Dude comes out with a new winery every 2 years in AZ.

Which is kind of funny because GRRM comes out with a new Non-SoiaF book every 2 years, too.

It's almost as if their main gig is secondary.

So...do you think GRRM will put out his next book before or after TOOL finishes their album?

It's a neck and neck race, methinks.

My reaction was mostly 'I dont care if you have some twu luv bond with these dragons, invent a fucking saddle.'

"Hey, so, I have a new idea for something Gendry can do this season..."

As played by discount Christian Bale?

@Arkandel I do, too. I loved the new opening as well. Its weird how sometimes details actually get hidden in these things. For example, isn't there still one easter egg yet undiscovered in Guardians of the Galaxy 1?

I'm excited for this season. Glad to finally get around to an ending of this story since GRRM couldn't be arsed to finish his books.

Prediction.

The Viking Experience is the new stable.

Sarah Logan is married to one of the members of the Viking Experience. Ruby Riott is on Raw and Liv Morgan went to Smackdown.

Riott Squad will break up and the break up will focus on Logan betraying Riott and joining the Viking Experience.

I feel like this is a pretty easy assumption to come to

There's a hot political topics thread in the Politics section. How about we take the talk of what Christianity is or isn't good for over there before it gets momentum here?

Also, I agree with @Ganymede

Pun was unintentional.

@Thenomain But I liked Batfleck.

I did hear somewhere Michael Keaton is onboard for Batman Beyond. That's exciting.

Aha! It was in a different thread. @Aria posted that in RL anger.

That cross pic is fucking glorious.

Sidebar: I dont know if someone mentioned this, but despite gold melting/burning at a lower temperature than wood, the golden cross survived (surrounded by a shitload of burnt wood).

I'm no longer a practicing Catholic and very often I find that Catholics tend to streeeetch the rules of what is or is not an actual miracle, but I find this particular instance to be fascinating.

@Runescryer YAAAAAS PLEASE. ALL IN.

@Cupcake WHAT THE FUCK? That's ridiculous. Those dudes are seriously just pissing all over that territory.

@Cupcake People are AWESOME.
