I would've thought Every Man's Return would be more accurate.

« on: December 13, 2016, 11:23:28 pm »Ok SERIOUSLY!!! Fiction really REALLY needs to retire thisNo, Neo, it/they don't. It's fiction, they can write whatever they want.
Now, if there are non-fiction guides to sexual healing popping up and causing horribly unhealthy, well, views, that could be a problem. But fiction? Fiction has no limits, fiction is anything. You could write something totally crazy, like a picture book about an, an elephant, who has... lost his balloon! Oh no! Where could it be? Oh wait, the monkey has it! Up in the tree! Let's all go drink lemonade.
Then you go to sleep and win some money from your friend 'cause she's not friends with her old friends no more.

If you can't afford a ticket out, you could get deported for free.
Main issue being you probably won't be allowed back in ever, even temporarily.

General Discussion / Re: The friendly and polite EU-related terrible jokes thread
« on: December 13, 2016, 07:37:26 pm »I do wish that there was a large European information campaign in the affected migrant areas. A great, big one, with posters, pamphlets and internet videos. Something along the lines of "Europe is, unfortunately, not heaven, and spending your savings and risking your lives might not be worth it. Do not believe the travel agents. We cannot guarantee your safety en-route, nor that your asylum claim will be accepted nor that it will be an improvement to your life. Further, Europe is not as rich as it seems, the weather is dreadful, living costs are highand you will have to adapt to women, both western and otherwise, being equals to you."
I dread to think what these smugglers might be telling people to sell them the tickets. I imagine a chap is liable to be disappointed, when all their fairytales turn out false. It would be bad enough, had you spent the sort of money they demanded for it. The boating trip on the way would hardly help. I think these sort of campaigns might at least help somewhat. Even though attempting to convince people to stay where they are would not be the sort of thing that would earn you many Christmas cards, it would probably be better for everyone.
In terms of countries that aren't at war and are reasonably safe, sure.
I'm not sure "the weather is a bit shit" will keep people from trying to flee war or persecution :p

It's attempted 'cause it's not quite a group yet.

Competition never ends, man. Once the company "owns" a country, they start "invading" other countries by taking over their economy.
Things would become more interesting if each country was run by a company. Then we get Syndicate Wars-esque stuff.
On a side note, does anyone know who or what Essie? Every time I write"Essie" "esque", my autocorrect changes it.

That's a fair assessment. The last two major games I've played were stalled by DLC.
I'd probably be less upset about it this time, had it not taken me 5 attempts to get my Muslim Merchant Republic up and running without being smacked down by the Ummayads or an unfortunate inheritance.

« on: December 12, 2016, 11:32:28 am »I can read for about half an hour in a car. Then I need a roughly equal break to get rid of the feeling of sickness. Don't know why it happens, probably related to motion sickness, I'd imagine.
Nausea can be the result of a mismatch of data between the eyes and the inner ear, which basically senses when you're moving.
In the case of the car, your inner ear is telling you you're moving (experiencing the various forces from the car accelerating, decelerating, and turning) while your eyes, glued to the static book, are saying you're not.
It's a defence mechanism. Your body doesn't know if you've eaten something terrible to cause this mismatch, so you get the boke.
If you try to read in such a way that you can see the scenery go by, that should help.
Anyhow, re: book vs. ebook, paper all the way. No need for a battery life, it won't eff up your circadian rhythm, and you can show off your collection. Or in my case, put a lot of it on the floor 'cause there's not enough shelf space.

EBWOP: the second last sentence in that entire post should also have "you're not saying what you're apologising for in the breadcrumb, either." tacked on.
