  1. Marines Set to Ban Sir and Maam...

    Seems pretty reasonable to me. I can't imagine there are that many times a marine addresses a superior officer and the officer's gender is relevant. Referring to them by rank instead puts the focus solely on the fact that they outrank you, which is always pretty relevant.
  2. ST: The Strange New (gay) Worlds

    So, I'm guessing you somehow missed all the PC that is ST. How did you manage that? Between the first interracial kiss on TV and years of commanding officers having sex with anything remotely human shaped being OK, I would've thought it impossible. But more importantly, what doesn't qualify...
  3. Should states ban trans athletes from competing?

    That same truth can be asserted about the difference between athletically gifted men, and non-athletically gifted men. Yet, we allow those two groups to compete between each other with barely a second thought. I'm fine admitting gender differences exist. I am, however, unwilling to pretend...
  4. Should states ban trans athletes from competing?

    Meh. This state can be terribly backwards, and rural regions are given way too much influence in the state politics. It is funny though, how genetic differences that give you testicles are being given so much importance, while genetic differences that give you larger muscles or better...
  5. What are you playing nowadays? Share yo' thoughts.

    Scott Pilgrim vs the World is on PC. Not Steam though, it's an Epic store game.
  6. Electoral College voting today

    Think Biden is sick of all the winning yet?
  7. FDA says -- Juul Illegally Claimed That Its Products Were Safer than Cigarettes.

    Dosage, dosage, dosage. Toxicity is entirely meaningless without considering dosage. Literally everything is toxic in sufficient doses. That's showing that you need huge, direct dosages for PG to show negative effects. And yeah, I absolutely think something can be entirely safe to breathe in...
  8. FDA says -- Juul Illegally Claimed That Its Products Were Safer than Cigarettes.

    I see bits like this, look into it, find this on the CDC https://www.atsdr.cdc.gov/csem/csem.asp?csem=12&po=14 Propylene glycol toxicity has been reported only rarely and in unusual circumstances. For example, toxicity may result from excessively large or rapidly infused intravenous...
  9. Your favorite 8-bit games

    On the NES: Willow. Magic of Scherezade. The Guardian Legend. Megaman 2. On the SMS: Phantasy Star. Wonder Boy 3: Dragon's trap
  10. Poll: Stalker is 12 years old

    It's very hard for me to pick between SoC and CoP. Mechanically, CoP was simply a heck of a lot better then SoC, with weapon mods and repairs. SoC was a lot better at atmosphere though - CoP had some good moments, but nothing like that first lab in SoC, I think X-23 or something like that? It...
  11. Playing the original Mass Effect

    It's not perfect. Lots to love - but also some things to hate, like the uber clunky inventory management. Playing on PC lets you improve the sometimes very slow gameplay, in parts where you're just walking around waiting for elevators. Console command SloMo changes game speed, and if you do...
  12. The Improbability of our Universe and Existence (Actual Pro-Creationism Argument?)

    The probability argument is based on a lot of assumptions and anthrocentrism. What actually happens in all those other posited universe? If there's more antimatter then matter, the universe would be different - but we don't actually know what that universe would be like. No gravity and a...
  13. Religion in general...

    The main problem with this approach is this: Let's assume all the claims of a particular religion are correct. God is real, and God says "X is immoral." The immediate question that follows is "Why does god say X is immoral?". Either God has a justification for something being unethical, or...
  14. Dark Souls 3-Official PC Thread

    I'm just hoping they don't mess up M+K controls too bad this time. DS1's M/K was just terrible, DS2's was better (but still pretty bad until SotS). I just hope they learned. That and I hope there's a covenant like DS1's Gravelords, except that it works. Gravelord curse indirect PvP was a...
  15. Dark Souls 3-Official PC Thread

    Loaded and ready. Really don't get the hate the second game gets - it had some issues, but every souls game from Demon's on has had some issues. I figure it's a PvP thing.
  16. Do you prefer blog or vlog? Why?

    Blogs. They're far faster to consume, since I read faster then people typically talk, and it's far easier to skip around in.
  17. Should AI robots be given rights in the future?

    On a fundamental level, the same is true of rocks, rocks gardens, storms, nations, bacteria, vacuum, photonic gasses and anything else presumed to be physical. And other humans - where the idea that other people also are self aware is ultimately based on assumptions. The best we can do is to...
  18. Man Loses Pulse for 45 Minutes,Wakes Up With Incredible Vision of Afterlife

    Oh, there could be lots of rationals explanation. The most obvious is that's it's become part of the culture, and thus been absorbed - learned. In exactly the same way that alien abductions claims always seem to vary with the cultural zeitgeist. Not to mention there distinct possibility of a...
  19. Should AI robots be given rights in the future?

    Eh, I really think this is just a fundamental disconnect because of the tendency to call complicated helpful programs AIs. Are we talking about helper programs which would fail the Turing test - if they could even take it - or actual AI, capable of passing said test? These two aren't even...
  20. Man Loses Pulse for 45 Minutes,Wakes Up With Incredible Vision of Afterlife

    Empty fluff piece. Glosses over the details of the efforts of the hospital staff to save this man's life and focuses on his oxygen deprived brain's hallucinations. No mentions whatsoever of brain activity monitoring, and treats a nonfunctional heart as being dead, despite people surviving on...
  21. Do you believe in...Boltzmann Brains? (For the physics, philosophy etc. nerds)

    That looks like it's only accounting for initial creation of the brains - not longevity of the brain, or replication of the brain. I'd expect the vast majority of spontaneously created brains to die immediately, and the vast majority to not be capable of replication. Evolved brains on the...
  22. New Star Control coming in a few years.

    It won't have Toys for Bob involved, nor will it feature the aliens for Star Control. No spathi, no ur-quan, no nothing. Not them, nor their ships. So, really, barely Star Control at all.
  23. Fallout 4 - it's official! Coming Nov 10, '15

    Well, I'm seriously regretting buying this game. The interface is terribly bad. But worse, it posed the designers with a simple question. How, exactly, do you make a quest system with peaceful options along different lines when you have 4 dialog options of which 2 need to be "Yes" or "No" for...
  24. Should AI robots be given rights in the future?

    What, exactly, is the difference between real emotions and artificial ones? And what exactly makes you think people aren't machines?
  25. **OFFICIAL** Diablo 3 Thread

    Really wishing Death's Breath was auto-looted. Drops in singles often and you need a lot of it, means constant clicking. And it's just yellow, so it doesn't stand out in a crowd of loot. Isn't even autopicked up with other mats.
  26. Games you are excited for?

    Project Eternity became Pillars of Eternity, and it's been out for a while now.
  27. some insights into some of the current problems in the academic field of science

    Not very useful. Criticizes science for not being truth, but doesn't stop to consider whether or not truth actually exists.
  28. Do you think the news media promotes racism? or reverse?

    Is there a particular reason why pointing out the race would be a problem, while pointing out gender is not?
  29. The Political Effects of Arrogance

    "I'm so meta, even this acronym" Was the irony intended? You've managed to be a perfect example of the behavior you're talking about. I mean, complaining about a movement, and it's insufficient for your to say they're wrong, instead they're arrogant and psychologically dysfunctioning?
  30. Proper ethical programming AI guidelines?

    You coding it doesn't magically strip an AI of free will any more then your parent's genetic code stripped you of free will. Or for that matter, that your parents telling you to eat your vegetables stripped you of free will. Course, that particular way leads to some unpleasant questions about...
  31. At what point do we accept our bodies for what they are? e.g. gender reassignment

    There's no ethical line on body modifications, no point where it becomes innately unethical. The details of any particular change might theoretically be unethical - altering your lungs so you exhale mustard gas for example - but that's because of the secondary effects of the particular...
  32. Although I am christian, I think sharia law would be cool.

    I believe the phrase you're looking for is "No true Scotsman". Of course, none of that matters unless you believe that any moment a Christian spends not proselytizing is a moment where they are no longer a Christian. Is that the case? Because if it's not, then you're simply incorrect...
  33. Although I am christian, I think sharia law would be cool.

    It can be ignored because it's not actually true. Being a Christian is OK under Sharia law. Practicing in public, not legal. Trying to convert Muslims or proselytizing, not legal and gets you tossed in jail. Actually converting away from Islam, illegal and punishable by death. But simply...
  34. Although I am christian, I think sharia law would be cool.

    Our justice system is ultimately run by people. People make mistakes. How many innocent people are going to lose their limbs in a single month of this? And then there's the basic problem of complete disproportionality acting as a rather strong incentive to escalate your crime. You're...
  35. Pillars of Eternity - To be released March 26th. Who's excited?

    Twice, Eder mentioned the dog from the first village while I had it equipped. Both were random banter, not conversation. Didn't see anything else pet related.
  36. Why did Demo's for PC games die?

    Steam has 73 pages of free demos. They're not exactly dead.
  37. Father and daughter have their children taken away

    According to the article, he didn't raise her - absentee father. Says they were introduced when she was 25, and did not know they were related.
  38. Father and daughter have their children taken away

    Bit more to this then "Incest, ewww" You look over the court documents linked in the article, and you get this little nugget: Prior to the jurisdictional hearing, and in exchange for the dismissal of the other allegations against her in the petition, mother agreed to admit the allegation that...
  39. Pillars of Eternity - To be released March 26th. Who's excited?

    It being a story based game is why I expected it to allow you to keep going. Fallout 2 did, and Dragon Age did. It's a simple measure to allow players to experience all the content in the game without massive sidetracking disrupting the story. That's a real immersion breaker in a game like...
