General Discussion / Re: Gender quotas
« on: January 17, 2016, 05:47:35 pm »Okay, so let's transition this topic to proposals about what will actually work as an effective measure, as there don't seem to be many proposed fixes that don't include quotas.
Personally, I am for publicly shaming any company without at least 30% women in top roles, legislating that they have to include an image of poop somewhere in their logo until they meet this criteria.
You said you weren't serious, but isn't your example a form of quota?
"You need at least X amount of women, if you don't you suffer the penalty of Y" seems to me to be what a quota is.
If I were to give a solution, I would avoid quotas and negative reinforcement, instead give benefits to those who do hire women. For example, say any firm in the STEM fields that employs X amount of women in a job of at least Z level, then that firm gets a tax break of Y. Of course, you'd need some sort of official to determine if those hired women are actually employed and not just on the payroll for the benefits, but you would also have needed one to check the quotas anyway.

25.) An old man who leads a train of three wagons along with some crew. He is obsessed with hunting a certain white landshark.
26.) A mirage of an oasis or something else nice
27.) As 26, but the mirage is a trap created by an illusionist. He feels the party is encroaching on his land, or wronged him somehow.

65.) A wiry fellow is selling oils extracted from various exotic snakes and even serpentine monsters from the back of a covered wagon. He claims they have medicinal benefits, or even magical ones.

« on: January 13, 2016, 09:36:02 pm »... what? A joystick is a joystick. They've... never been particularly synonymous with controllers, or at least they've pretty much always been a particular form of one. Unless it's changed in the last... decade or less. Could be different regional terminology, I guess.
When the zog did they start being anything else, though?
I think he means two separate controllers, each mainly consists of a single big joystick. He wants to use both together, but he's worried the computer will assume two controllers, two players.

I dunno, some slots allow you to bet multiple times, to have multiple rows to lose on.

Isn't the lottery essentially a really slow slot machine?

I worry the aeroflak will mostly punish those dumb enough to be using aerofoil wings, while thrustercraft will still be alright or at least not as worse off. Actually using wings on your plane is just a bad idea, especially as they are gigantic and have the hp of tissue paper.

If there's one thing I could remove from the fanbase, it would be the '(everything) fills you with determination' meme. It's probably the worst video game meme ever, and that's including 'arrow to the knee'.
determination fills you with determination (to not laugh)
