All someone has to know about the Venus Project is this... So as we said, and you dismissed as ridiculous, ideas like that only work if you can wish away scarcity. The Venus Project sounds like a great thing to talk about after some sort of technological singularity where we are all sitting...

How do you have so much trouble grasping this? Obama should not have bluffed. If you are going to make threats, back them up or it makes you look weak. Instead, Obama managed to get the worst of all worlds. We are left with a Syria with chemical weapons, Obama with lowered prestige because no...

Okay, so let me repost it again so you can tell me what's garbage about it. Again, we use oil because it takes far less RESOURCES to use it than other alternatives. You can wish away cash, you can't wish away actual value. People want varying amounts of resources, capitalism and price give us...

I'm not posting for your personal benefit. Obama bungled this from his original pronouncement, to how he handled it with the american people, to having Kerry be the spokesman for it with his silly "unbelievably small" strike comment. Sorry you can't see that and instead want to act like Obama...

Sure, he did it, at the cost of making sure any other countries in the future do not take his threats seriously. However, he did manage to make Putin look like a peacemaker heh. I guess thats a win err, maybe not.

I look forward to the mod which turns Franklin into Rachel Jeantal.

He shouldn't have gotten us involved in a war between Assad and Al-Qaeda. If you are going to try and involve yourself, don't bluff and flounder around looking like an idiot. Also, get rid of John Kerry as secretary of state.

Loses his shit all morning long while white knighting Obama's bungling of Syria. Then accuses me of losing my shit. Nice work! Look in the mirror idiot.

Considering how you are one of the very few people that still seem to somehow think Obama came out looking good in all this, I'll take being called stupid by a pedantic moron like you as a compliment.

Why don't YOU read the article I linked. It shows that regardless of whether he turns over the weapons it is a win for Assad.

That is the problem, you don't know what you are arguing about. You are actually arguing that Obama's bluff wasn't called. Which is stupid.

Also, please note that I was against military involvement in this conflict also. However, when the president starts laying out red lines he starts putting US diplomatic prestige on the line. That is the problem, he should have been smart enough to stay out of this civil war in the first place...

Who the fuck said the red line was Assad getting taken out? Why do you just make shit up? The red line was a threat of military action of some sort if chemical weapons were used. Chemical weapons were used, Obama then talked about it and then passed the buck to congress. Not only did he pass the...

They did call the bluff, they used chemical weapons after the red line.. Sorry, I left that out of my post because I thought you were smart enough to remember that. I'll edit to my post so next time you won't have to use your memory.

Having your bluff called is when you threaten a military strike if something happens,THAT THING HAPPENSand then pass the buck to congress, all while having your Secretary of State go around saying that the strikes will be "unbelievably small". Syria agreed to this deal because not only does...

So you think his red line to syria was "If you use chemical weapons, I will let congress vote on whether or not to launch attacks on you guaranteed to not cause regime change"? That is what it turned out to be, but you have to be almost willfully stupid to think Obama meant Syria to take it...

If he was willing to do it, why did he send it to congress? Nuance.

Meh, you don't have to take out the bit tittied women being blown away by ak-47s. You can leave those in and still include a female main character for girls and women to play if they want to. Femshep was hella popular in the ME series. Saints Row gives them that option also.

Yeah, exactly. Im having a shitload of fun watching it. When he turned into the quarry and saw the dump truck I cheered.

It is explained a few times that sometimes the incubation is longer. Otherwise yeah, it would never have spread.

Great article on why the deal on Syria is a win for Assad. This is the problem with a president who talks tough on foreign policy while at the same time being unwilling to use force. You can't have both and going around trying to bluff people turns out badly when you get called on it.

I wanted to respond more in depth because its just so pie in the sky it hurts my brain. What do you mean, nobody says "I want helium" for the sake of having it? People do that shit all the time with resources. Hell, inventors might want it to try and create some things. Many people would want it...

I don't have any illusions that you will listen to any of this but you should read less Marx and more economic textbooks. You can't just "wish away" the value of things. Even if you took away money, you wouldn't end up with all things being equal. We use oil because it is easier to use than...

So random complaint as Iceni. When do I get to recruit Boudica as a general? Fuck these random chieftains. Also, chariots seem OP as fuck right now. Can't wait to try out berserkers in abunch of turns, hopefully they will be fun. Are there lists somewhere online in a nice format of what units...

Well that sucks. Kind of was hoping I was missing something, since I really hate the siege fights. I have been autoresolving all of them but that ends up meaning I am autoresolving 90% of the fights. Out of the remaining 10%, most of them end up being mop-up fights after I took all of a...

So is it just me or are 90% of the battles over cities? Open-world fights pretty much never seem to occur. Once a force is in a city, there isn't really any way to try and force them out. Same if I see an enemy force trying to invade, i can just sit in a city and wait for them to attack. They...

The castration equipment might have been meant for himself. He probably felt a great deal of self-loathing and might have seen that as a way to stop his feelings.

I can't blame these guys. When you look at the ridiculousness, the alienation and overall mental unhealth of a society, if your mind can objectively look at these facts of reality as they are, does it make any sense to try and adjust to them? I would argue that the rational choice in such a sick...

I meant driving to my dads (well, and mine in a trust) farm and back, not directly driving through IL.

So it is looking like even normallyanti-gun news organizationsare taking the message that the Colorado recall is a deathknell for the current wave of gun control talk for anyone not living in California. Good news.

Yeah, because sending "How do Paul Sage and Matt Firor not bust out laughing at the ridiculous things they say in interviews knowing the truth behind the title?" would be useful?

Sold me, will pick it up!

Could someone give me a comparison of this to a more popular rpg? Still not sure exactly what type of game this is.

My brother uses questions like those to "gotcha" people in job interviews. I think it is a pretty shitty way to interview people, because as you said, it just isn't intuitive and even very very smart people in the field mess shit up like that. It turns into more of a test of if the person had...

Damn, you are going full Lumie on this bro. Never go full Lumie.

No point in talking about it. Get people to run the simulation that has been linked multiple times and see it for themselves. For most people, the more you talk about it the more they get confused. Conditional probability is just counter-intuitive to most people. Our brains are horrible at it...

Look bro, either you are trolling or you seriously can't get your head around it. If you can't get your head around it, try the simulation which was linked. If you still don't believe it (simulation maybe rigged by gay jews to fool honest Russian!), spend 30 seconds of your time and code a...

Well, this is more about a "gotcha" than a probability question. It isn't too shocking that otherwise smart people act completely deranged when their intuition turns out wrong. People hate to have been "gotten". It has nothing to do with intelligence or even math background, both which often...

Russians are supposed to be good at math.
