Me, immediately after drone-capture "Return our drone immediately or we will blow up your little ship with the submarine we have shadowing our science mission (because you can't be too paranoid!)."

Has there ever been a story about a sympathetic german soldier during WW2 who wasn't a Nazi (or at least... wasn't one of the forced drafts)

That actually included how bad the world actually messed over Germany after WW1?

Because I am always surprised when WW2 narratives kind of forget that even without Hitler... Germany was kind of pushed towards war.

IIRC the german navy was mostly not nazified, but they still worked for Hitler because he ran their country, and they still got rekt by Britain.

Please add me to:

Cities: Skylines - Deluxe Edition
Massive Chalice
PAC-MAN™ Championship Edition DX+ All You Can Eat Edition Bundle
The Bard's Tale
Ultimate General Gettysburg
Void Destroyer 2


I had to resist the urge to put The Bard's Tale before Cities: Skylines

P.S. The link to Spark Rising in the second post does not work, and I cannot find it with a search on Steam.

... I didn't notice any UI change on YouTube.

I didn't the last time people complained either.

Well... Oil will never be useless mind you... Given that we rely on it for far more then just power...

In fact you are eating oil everyday.

You are literally going outside, bending over, and taking big chomping bites of sand made out of oil every single day for nutrition.

I think I would remember doing that. Also isn't sand made of silicon and oxygen and oil of hydrogen and carbon?

As with everything you've been talking and asking about, none of it makes any sense to me.  :-\

“I certainly don’t see Tillerson cut from the same cloth as [Hillary] Clinton or [John] Kerry, but he doesn’t have to be for these anti-life, liberal social policies to continue,” said a statement that appears to be written by the group’s president, Tony Perkins. “He must have the courage to stop the promotion of this anti-family, anti-life agenda...”

I did not know that Barack Obama was Darkseid.

I think you're supposed to play FPSes to release stress, not to gain it.

But state rights is the way we get more Mexicans into the country right now, via "sanctuary cities", so they're not just all racism, you know.

Those are cities, not states. :V
The idea is the same, still. They both have the right to deny federal law enforcement, to a certain extent.

Another example - marijuana legalization. Federally, it's illegal, but in many states, it is legalized now. Is it racist to allow for states to legalize marijuana?

Technically it still isn't legal, because states cannot actually nullify federal laws. There's nothing stopping the DEA from coming in and arresting people involved with "legal" marijuana businesses, if Trump decides that he doesn't approve.

Smj, I'm pretty sure that Shadow's joking. He's probably annoyed by the 'EVERYTHING THE CONSERVATIVES SAY IS A DOG WHISTLE FOR EVIL STUFF' everybody's saying. I am too. Sure, they're awful, but there's no SEEKRIT COUD.

No, I remember history and am referencing it, and how the civil war's cause was changed* retroactively** from slavery to "states' rights." :V

* by politicians, not historians, iirc, but it made it into history books because texas, probably
** "Who controls the past controls the future. Who controls the present controls the past."

I wasn't even trying to refer to that... the whole Civil War revisionism I mean.

Of course, of course.

I'm fine now, I actually got to sleep last night but it wasn't comfortable.
I'm glad you were able to get to sleep. :)

What happened last night was completely my fault for over-reacting like I always do.
If there's things about yourself that you want to change, well, some of them are changeable more easily than others. Personally, how I react to situations - and how I feel about them, in some cases - has been one of the easier things to change, though I assume that isn't necessarily the case for everyone. (I don't think that applies to depression, for example)

(There are other aspects of my behavior/thoughts/etc that I have had little success changing)

Gamers primarily found the Gamer Motivation Profile via social media sharing (67% of all traffic) on Facebook (91% of all social media traffic) and Twitter (4.9% of social media traffic). Referrals from other websites accounted for 26% of all traffic, primarily from an article on Ars Technica (62%). The remainder (5%) was from organic search.

SELF SELECTION BIAS

[quote="Sample Bias" section at the end of the same webpage]
Compared with the ESA 2015 factsheet of all gamers, our sample has a far higher proportion of male gamers and the average age is far lower. Also, our sample consists of a higher percentage of core gamers (the top game genre in the ESA sample was social games) with a skew towards PC gamers and RPG gamers.[/quote]

So basically, sadly, the results aren't necessarily as informative as they might like you to think.
