Yep, probably, but I mean they make a point of him being around or being seen in the malfunctions with Hosts who can't escape or are at his mercy. Just something else for William=MIB, not sure if its true or not, but from episode 3.

Abernathe is the first to say it--the day after the MIB is around when they all die. He had plenty of time to tamper with them. All the people who have said the line so far, had some experience with the MIB.

It's interesting though that he programmed in the reveries (Supposedly). In that hierarchy of consciousness he pointed out you need memories, they are effectively the foundation of being conscious. And its true, especially if you believe consciousness is just a learning affectation, which is...

Xcom--for me both the original and the recent one were shockers. Xcom was one of the first games I got into, rented it (Not kidding) from a fucking video store, I guess they didn't realize you could copy the floppy disks. Blew me the fuck away, played it forever. 2011 rolls around and I'm happy...

Honestly, this is the big thing for me--I just can't get excited about most grand strategy games in this style anymore until they make their AI a lot better. You get to a certain difficulty and you can outplay the machine, but still just have a lot of difficulty. It just ends up being...

Man, sometimes I think how horrible my life is because some chick with such mediocre tits that she couldn't even win a best tits contest on a forum where most women turned out to be men doesn't know me. Wait, no, going to have to file that under thoughts I never have.

Trex calling Cad a Nazi piece of shit is more praise than an indictment. What's wrong Trex, you upset you can't troll harder by having your personal monkey make entire forums for you anymore?

Well, that was what the new programing quirk was supposed to do; allow them to access a subconscious. Hopkins wrote that into their code specifically and even though they were "rolled back", we can see from the train guy (The one who likes Doloras) he's touching his chest where he was shot...

What was interesting is we got a lot more confirmation that the hosts have a lot of actual biological components mixed with artificial ones. Harris was talking about losing blood affected them last week, but that could have just been sensors which shut the host down after it loses X amount to...

It's out on HBOGo now, they released it early I guess because of the leak.

Oh yes, the Ottomans were the worlds superpower at the time. They had colonies in Europe, and were aggressively looking for more territory, they even took over a million European slaves--literally ripped them right from the coast lines. There were numerous times throughout the Renaissance that...

It's hilarious. He's the best example of monkey see, monkey do I've ever seen on a message board.

Doubtful he will win. Not going to be disappointed if he loses, I'm expecting it. I'm shocked he's managed to do as well as he has given the media. But that has a lot more to do with Hillary, obviously, than with him.

Heh, well, it makes sense. We can see from Delores that hosts can be updated/rebuilt. I imagine these things aren't cheap, and there were little viral campaigns with emails talking about how they had to re-use damaged clothes in the park to save money. And given the lower level wasn't repaired...

Here is my dumb conjecture based on the symbolism and little evidence. Really like the whole religious overtones, fits really well with the nature of the show. 1.) Delores is Eve, oldest woman, first to be able to use knowledge without breaking down (The others could kind of disobey their...

As others have said about the bullets ect. Given what Hopkins said about curing any disease, and all? I'm guessing technology is a lot more advanced than even what's being highlighted. Smart bullets seem plausible. That said, I wonder what Managements plans for the park are? I was thinking...

Yeah, and as they showed throughout the episode--multiple times flies landed on the hosts eyes even, and the hosts did not react due to their programming to not harm living things.

Why would it be counter productive? You're assuming that the power these idiots have is in their ideological fervor--that's wrong. Their strength is in their ideological adherence, not the zealous nature of it. In fact, nearly every time one of these ideologues is exposed to sunlight, the...

Sword of the Stars 2. It had every good idea I could imagine in a Total War Esqe sci fi game (Literally, like my child hood wish list). You could design ships so gun placements, specialized sections (Hulls, Command, Engines) really mattered. Each weapon left a different pattern of destruction in...

Yeah, the Stepped people were in general just nasty, vicious fuckers. As others pointed out, most urban based civilizations had a lot of difficulty dealing with them because most tactics/logistics were developed around civilizations who had, well, urban centers. So taking territory against...

Different Khanates, depending on the point in history. At the start it was the Turkic Khanate (Cousins to the Mongols). Pretty nasty bunch, were giving everyone shit, and they didn't have anything anyone else wanted. Given the size of their lands and migratory nature, it meant that you probably...

@yerm Damn stealing my thunder over here. LOL, even the using a trade map...I should have hit that button to show new posts =-/.

Yeah, I think modern historians did a huge disservice to history by going along with the Byzantine name for Eastern Rome. Those people were Romans, they called themselves Romans, employed mostly Roman cultural values. Edit: Talking about the Eastern Romans, As Yerm said, though, many people use...

I'm not sure what you know from the podcast, but this first part is a brief overview of the Persians, which is really important in understanding how martial history, power and money flowed to the Arabs, and also created a huge opening for them due to a crippling Roman/Persian conflict that...

Are you still predicating your defense that Feminists do mean and say all those things but adding "evil" turned it into a ridiculous statement? Because rape, oppression, slavery, colonialism are not "evil" right? Because that's exactly what this predicate of whiteness/maleness supports, that it...

Yeah, this was not Star Wars prequels bad--the editing, and the CGI scenes (Of which there are a lot) and story (Because of the filler) might have been "as bad". But the acting in this was about a million times better. People forget, star wars was a disjointed story, visually stunted AND the...

From the first source within that study. Within the United States, agriculture is responsible for approximately 6 percentof GHG emissions. Beyond U.S. borders, the links between agriculture and land management and climate change are more striking. On a global scale, agriculture is responsible...

This is not how fucking carbon greenhouse additions work, god damn. The sources cows turn into atmospheric carbon are part of the carbon cycle. The entire issue behind anthropomorphic climate change is adding sequestered sources that were outside of our evolutionary period to the cycle, shifting...

Oh man, DARYL. Yeah, there were 4 movies I alternated as a kid. Flight of the Navigator, DARYL, Explorers and there was one other that I can't remember the title to. It was about a kid who had an imaginary spy friend, and through the movie the spy and him get out of some tough jams and the final...

Get a steam link if all you want is couch gaming and have a PC.

No witnesses, no crime. Meanwhile...

Yeah, Goliath fucked off to London and was guilt tripping blue hairs into sleeping with him so they could be more progressive, because they'd be "trans lesbian". I have to say--dude was ahead of the curve in terms of seeing that coming.

All I see in this thread is poop and salt....A lot of salt. I wonder if little Tyen tastes salt from those swol B's.

Yep, it's dumb. But It's how all energy is created, really. Quantum tunneling is really dumb too, it almost sounds like some bullshit someone programed in so nuclear energy and larger atomic elements could exist while "normal" physics still functioned. The idea that BBR could translate into...

So that EM drive? Looks like it may have a bit more evidence soon. The post was deleted, so we'll see. But here is the explanation. (Some posts from the Science thread on it.) Unruh radiation exerts on an accelerating body. At very small accelerations, Unruh wavelengths become so large they...

Just stay in your cage or Amod will Hamurabi you. Request Tanoomba's name changed to Tanurabi.

I posted this on the other board--but I think this is probably one of the most symbolic and greatest scenes in TV, ever. It took 5 seasons to come to fruition, took its time, was great. It starts here, with the famous chess scene. First, D'angelo explains all the correlation to chess and...

Was great because it sets the season up so well--season is about education, whole season starts with a character getting "schooled".

I don't understand the view that Tan being in the shaw is a "victory lap"....So what? That's like saying a prisoner gets to take a victory lap in jail, or the special kids at the retard olympics get to stand on their own little podiums. Who cares? The shaw isn't there to punish people in it...

Yes, personal threads in the Shaw are fine. Its the very least people can do to ignore someone is to not visit their shit hovel in the shaw.
