All those things I posted are SJW's reacting to things :p. What I'm saying is that a bunch of people on this board freak out when guys here are critical about anything to do with race and sex, and make allusions to how 'they are the same as the SJWs!' But clearly the guys here who bring it up...

You being an insufferably obtuse faggot who is super salty his ideological leanings have become the new version of conservatard and so you try to project your butthurt onto everyone else who uses a discussion thread to talk about a show? Yeah. None of us like that either. You should stop that.

Except the "SJWs" in this case are broadcasting their message through major media publications, while the dude your upset about here is talking to a discussion thread. I get the comparison though, other things in life like that have confused me, like how Doctors prioritize sucking chest wounds...

Damn you aren't kidding, that shit looks like a fan made it. At least get the actor to sit on a real prop, lol. I mean, I know posters are the absolute dregs of modern marketing because of information saturation and how limited they are in effect...But I think its a market waiting to be...

It was tier 2 Marvel--one of their solid intro movies. As someone else said, Ant-man, Cap, Strange ect but not as good as their top tier (GoTG, Avengers, Cap WS/CW). It's, in my opinion, getting a slight buff in its score from the 'first female lead!' thing, but it's not a very big shift from...

The night's king is a Warg. One of the dragons will turn on the other. And/or they will make a dead Targ dragon's bones rise and become an ice dragon. The reason I say the warg thing is because the history works. Martin specifically wrote that powerful wargs could take over the body of the...

Nothing. Unfortunately that's copyright law, this is patent law. It's retarded that software can even be copyrighted--it should be kept to patents, but that's where we are. The copyright office though has issued a ton of exceptions lately on farm equipment and cars, they, as far as I know.

This, the book's story, lets face it, was shit. It was an extremely simplistic, and boring, story. The characters though were amazing, and it was interesting trying to figure out which gods they were and how they worked in modern society, and what they did.

If you like city building games, I have to say, this is probably the best one I've played--ever. I was big into sim city. Being able to track individual sims is amazing, and everything is extremely functional (Works how you expect it too).

The first 3 movies do a condensed version of the 90's season. But this season picks up after that (It skips an arc from the Magna called the Black Swordsman. The Black Swordsman was shown in the first few minutes of the 90's when he killed the Apostle. But this season begins near the end of that...

Right? Dunk and Egg seem like an obvious choice.

As Ridas said, the new "Band of the Hawk" uses all Apostles for lieutenants. Apostles, as it seems, have been seeded in the world specifically for the purpose of eventually serving the God Hand--and the God Hand's 'emissary' to the world is the white hawk (Griffith) who is the 5th finger of the...

Came here to post this. Fuck. :( One of my favorite actors, Tombstone and Deadwood, so good. Hated hearing this. Got my hopes up it was a hoax but his agent confirmed it to major stations a few moments ago. =-/

The whole episode was fucking bizarre. This part, and Lara are probably the two weirdest fucking inexpiable, illogical things I've seen on TV in a while. Chuck didn't do anything wrong. He didn't direct Loyd to lie, or otherwise coerce Axe. He literally just said "go ahead and tell him the...

Pineapple gets left at museum, museum proceeds to put it in glass case and people come to look at the art. Last year glasses left on the floor drew large crowds to examine the daring art piece. Sorry @Feanor I'm just now sure how you segregated art from epistemology when you've reached such...

Yeah, have to agree with this. They made a little girl power campaign of it (HBO) but the characters are flawed, and the stories they were in made sense--no issue at all with strong female characters like that. The only thing that got stupid were the Sand Snakes, but that had more to do with...

Well, he didn't want the poison randomly distributed from the factory because if a sick person drank it, it would kill them, probably (They do try and give him some narrative cover so he doesn't appear to be murderous). You could also make the case that his NSA guy didn't hear anything because...

The writers wrote themselves a backdoor. Wendy took a short position, which means Rhodes is now compromised. The shows writing has become pretty fucking annoying even beyond the absurdities of the characters actions. I almost can't stand to watch it now because of Lara's tantrums. It's sad...

Yes it is, it's a perfect example of it. No, they are using the state of the world as it is right now to analyze agreements used right now that will affect policy right now. In 100 years we could develop fusion and power massive carbon collecting machines for free and not worry about any of...

I'm not though, the model is based on the best course of action for policy NOW. Right now, with no punishment, and no real benefit for developing economies, there is only a limited amount of use pursuing a cooperative agreement. You can very easily make the argument, again, given that we know...

No, it's what you're arguing. I can show my first damn post, and its exactly what I said. I then, in a VERY detailed manner, explained it. You continued railing against it saying I can't possibly know what people will choose. It is as ridiculous as it sounds.

Read the above reply. Your argument is predicated that people might put global warming over having more reliable food, water and heat for their families, the BILLIONS of people who are in this situation. You're right, it's not socialism, its much more naive than that.

Okay, so you're saying there are cases where people will go without basic needs to combat global warming. (That's not hyperbole. Coal is cheap, coal power plants are essential best practice and "easy" to build.) India is part of the new accords, and yet immediately said it would be breaking...

Precise methods of action for the data in the model, broad observations of normal human behavior for the players within the model. If I know, for example, a human being listens to an authority figure 90% of the time in country X, but only 50% in country Y, the model changes--but I'm using a...

Okay. Like I said, these arguments are effectively the same for "why socialism can work". They rely on rejecting common sense. It's very believable people looking to maintain basic electricity are not going to build cheap, effective coal power plants (For example) because of an agreement to...

Yes, that's part of making a good model, what are the negatives, vs the interests for parties (It's also what the Bush administration specifically said for their reasoning too, which was in the paper I cited). For weapons, for example (Of all times), limiting production has the negative of...

The 2001 review to strengthen the agreement. I was doing my undergrad and specifically taking a class on modeling and this was a topic, which is why I remember some of the papers on how and why the agreements would "fail", but produce better that zero cooperative results (Literally reach an...

Yeah, mitigation of outcomes was a sloppy way to phrase it, no edit. =-/ I mean mitigation of effects, which means preparing for waters to rise, and other significant impacts. Rather than hoping to significantly alter the outcome through cooperation (Technological alterations are feasible, but...

Uhh, the prediction was that it wouldn't work. As I said, the waterloo prediction (And a few others, the papers are 20 years old now, though, and I haven't read them, they were just discussed, as well as the failure of the biological agreement under Bush.) explained multiple methods the...

The broader point Kiroy was making was that mitigation of effects, rather than mitigation of outcomes, was probably a better overall strategy. Everything in my post was illustrating why he was using hyperbole to express that, and why its a viable strategy. If the posts were long and full of...

Thank you. I was waiting for you to make this point (Almost started to think you wouldn't. Maybe you'd caught it.) Now Zyyz....Does that prove your point...or mine, that a cooperative treaty even WITH punishment was broken in multiple ways? :) Or do you think that adds a lot to my argument that...

Signatories have controlled stockpiles that are monitored with an organization that can use various punishments for non-compliance, and are slowly 'being eliminated'. The U.S. does have them. We missed the deadline for their complete removal because Russia missed theirs--which yes, is...

Hmm, it's like all the nations in the agreement ALSO agreed to punish nations who have not signed with sanctions and military strikes if they do. Article 12.

I was only addressing why global unification is an important part of cooperation. Ironically Zyyz just pointed it out for me--if you can gather a system where there are punishments for non-adherence, then you can actually get cooperation to work. But without that, the goal should be innovation...

Oh shit, I had no idea the attempts at global warming cooperation had an Article 12 for sanctions and potential military response from all adherents for not complying, as well as an investigatory branch which could activate it. (Also, it's not a disadvantage if the other side also...

Efficacy does not reach 100%, and thus there is no value. As I said, the argument Zyyz goes back to (Amazing how I predicted that isn't it? Seems like I have your behavior nailed down pretty well). Some day socialism will work guys, you never know, you could get thousands of totally altruistic...

No, the whole mess began because you made this post. To which, I began with this (Explaining Kiroy was pushing hyperbole to indicate the end game of hobbling your economy with the expectation of cooperation.) I went on to explain how because these agreements do not 'bind' people through any...

I never said this. And that's the problem. My post was pretty in depth about how to address global warming, and saying there were many methods to address global warming. I simply said expecting cooperation to do so could only be useful in limited time frames/scenarios given strictly voluntary...

Yeah, because I'm the one who the one who posted twice in the mod thread trying to continue this after it stopped. =-/ Even Hodj didn't do that. You need to give it a break, Zyyz. Which is pretty much the opposite of what Hodj would say, and Hodj certainly wouldn't have simply ignored you...

What's your argument Zyyz. State it concisely and put it in the Rickshaw thread, I'll respond there. Pick a position, don't just argue like Tolan defending socialism. Edit: Also, btw, I do understand what "All models are wrong" means--you, like most who use the phrase, are leaving out the...
