No, it's not. Anytime I meet someone who says "I've done nothing wrong, so I have nothing to hide," I respond with "Okay, drop your pants then."

Everybody wants and deserves privacy. There is nothing wrong with having sex, but most of us hide when we do it.

Not having watched the video since I'm at work - what did they do to battle oracles?

I have both editions (1st and 2nd) of the Mythic GME, but I've only tried the first one. The second one (the one you linked) does look very promising though, and I know a lot of people have had very good results with the first one.

Oh? I have the book, but I haven't tried it. Any examples of how it's unbalanced?

spreading a conspiracy

I know this is off-topic, but can we please go back to saying "conspiracy theory"? Conspiracy and conspiracy theories are not the same. There are actual conspiracies (a secret plan by a group to do something unlawful or harmful) , and there are theories of conspiracies. They should not be confused.

My one thing I feel like I can brag about in tech circles is that I switched to Linux in 1995 (Linux kernel version 1.2.1), and I haven't looked back since. This was even before Windows 95 was released.

Not misleading, no one misunderstands

Speak for yourself, I misunderstood. I thought that income above a certain point was taxed at 28%.

Anti-work is anti-exploitation.

Well, then why not call it anti-exploitation? That would clear up a whole lot of things.

Something like that, yes. I believe that was the cause why /r/WorkReform was started which is much better name - less confrontational, less off-putting for people who might be on the fence on the topic. Because honestly, "anti work" means "against work".

Yes. However, if you had skipped the -f, it would have been valid. Without the filename argument, it assumes it should extract from the tape drive (TAR = Tape ARchive). The tape device is probably something like /dev/rmt0, but you don't need to specify that. Using the -f is technically an exception which means "instead of extracting from the tape like you'd normally do, pretend that this file is the tape device instead."

Oh and their CEO is a rich frat boy and also probably the one with the crayons.

I'm not so sure, I'm pretty sure that guy ate all his crayons before he could do any kind of drawing.

Fair point, but the rules are not specifically for Trump, they're for any US ex president.

Not trying to discredit or anything but in #4 1 shot is surely good compared to emptying his clip, but shooting or aiming a gun at somebody, the intent can’t be “non-lethal”.

I'm honestly confused by what you mean here. Cops in my country will intentionally shoot people in the leg as per policy in certain situations, such as when someone threatens them with a knife from certain distances. So it seems to me you can indeed point a gun at someone with non-lethal intent.

Yes. Innocent until proven guilty in a court of law is a fundamental principle for good reason. For example, we don't actually know if anything of what we've read about him is actually true.

Europe, the Commonwealth, or any of the Nordic Countries

(Just for clarity, the Nordic countries are part of Europe if anyone thought anything else)

Interesting. I'm assuming we're not talking book-length chapters here, right? More like a paragraph or three? Mostly about what your own PC does?

Who the fuck do these Vatican people think they are, to lecture others on morality? The previous pope instructed all of Catholosism that they were not to report pedophile priests to the police on pain of excommunication. And this is apparently fine by the current pope.

They are a bunch of idiots with no coherent concept of morality. All morality is based on personal responsibility, but most Christians seem to think they can ask their imaginary friend - rather than the one they have wronged - for forgiveness, and be granted it! It is absolutely absurd. I'm not saying that Christians in general are bad people, I'm just saying we shouldn't be looking towards Christianity or any of its leaders for moral guidance.

Incidentally - do you know which World War 2 nazis were excommunicated for their crimes by the Catholic church? You'd probably be surprised to know that it was only one. One! And who was it? It was Joseph Goebbels. Among all the heinous crimes commited by the nazis, what was it that Goebbels specifically did that caused the Catholic church to say "enough is enough"? I'll tell you what he did: He married a divorced protestant. "That's it," the Catholic church said, "you no longer get to go to heaven with your fellow nazi war criminals. Killing 13 million people in the Holocaust alone we can live with, but marrying a divorced protestant? No, we can't have that, that would be, like, totally immoral dude."

But surely, I hear you say, the Catholic church was against the nazis? No. No, they were not. Hitler's birthday was celebrated in German Catholic churces all throughout the war. Only in 1960's did the Catholic church apologize for its silence during the Holocaust, and revert the hitherto established doctrine that all currently living Jews - including children - are personally responsible for killing Jesus. That's why they didn't oppose the Holocaust - because the Jews (never mind that they weren't the only victims) had it coming, since they were all (some-fucking-how) personally responsible for "killing Jesus".

So, yeah. I'm not going to let these morons lecture me or anyone else on morality.

Exactly. People need to remember that this is the Internet, not their home country. We don't know where you're from.

Interesting. I've never come across roleplaying games played on forums before. Can you tell us a bit more about how that would work? For example, would you use a bot for dice rolls, etc?

I've heard of RPGs being played in chat rooms, and that I understand because of the shorter "posts" in a chat as opposed to a forum. I'm having trouble picturing how this would work, but I am intrigued.

Not sure how legalizing it would "take it away", though? I mean, if it was legalized it would still need to be produced by someone, right? And these people have the experience, the infrastructure, etc...
