Thaumcraft Zombies. They're stupidly tough compared to regular zombies.
Do they not burn in sunlight? It was daytime when I got killed, and I don't recall if it was on fire or not.

Well, that was a shock O_o

Built a simple mob tower, basically a dark, enclosed cave with a hole in the floor. Mobs spawn, fall through the hole 25 or so levels, hit a platform, and die. Easy drops.
Except something in the Technic pack (perhaps Mo'Creatures?) adds a tougher variety of zombie. These are almost identical to the normal ones, except with red eyes. I was watching my tower work, enjoying a brief cascade of zombies (and the resultant crunches), when suddenly I take a hit! Red-eyed zombie in my face, he hits me again, and I fall to my doom.
So yeah, the tower I spent a good 45 minutes and several stacks of cobble isn't high enough. This'll be !!FUN!!

What materials do seals require? All I have access to at the moment are stone/cobble, wood/planks/sticks, charcoal, a small amount of precious, irreplaceable dirt, and exactly 10 (again, irreplaceable) obsidian. Until I get sugar cane to farm and plenty of books for traveling to new Ages, I'm stuck with low-tech, replaceable vanilla materials.

"Punching Wisps" is the new euphemism for "suicide"
Pretty much :P

Well, I had to drive the wisps away. Had seven of the buggers following me around, smashing crops and shoving me, nearly off the edge once or twice. Put away all my stuff and punched one to see what would happen. Now they're all gone, and I hope they come back :(

Each side thinks the other is in the wrong but one side is far, far more in the wrong.
Except from the perspective of the other side, you are the one in the wrong. You can scream at the folks on the other side until you're blue in the face, and they'll insist that they are right and you are wrong. Whether it's abortion or gun control or even which Star Trek series was the best, you'll each be convinced that My Side is flawless in all respects (except when they aren't, but hey everyone makes mistakes) and the Other Side is wrong in every possible way (and should be treated as such, no exceptions). Sorta like the two of you are doing right now.
By the way, the Orwell thing? I realize it was written at the height of WWII, but "if you are not with me, you are against me" is an idiotic way to see the world. The world is not black and white. I figured that was fairly common knowledge in this day and age.

Conservatives don't need to plot to do evil. Their world-view is so completely warped in its favor that they do evil by accident, i.e. following the logical consequences of their beliefs.
Really? I mean, really? You don't see how that's any different from something like, say, this?

Homosexuals don't need to plot to do evil. Their world-view is so completely warped in its favor that they do evil by accident, i.e. following the logical consequences of their beliefs.
Both statements strike me as total bullcrap from where I'm sitting.

Quote
Do you have any specific examples to the contrary?
Afraid not, though the recent Biden "chains" comment might come close, and even that is a stretch. What exactly would I input in Google looking for examples, anyway? "liberals not decrying their own"?

Quote
try to deflect with poorly reasoned accusations of "liberals do bad things too! (we just don't have many non-manufactured examples, but they exist, so shut up forever)".
I'm gonna assume that that's not some sort of insinuation, because I realize that I can have a quick temper and want to avoid launching some sort of flame war.

Lemme break it down for ya:

Electronic artist = Electronic Music.
Furry = Well, you probably know :P
So this Renard person is a furry who writes/performs electronic music.


Sigh. I need to introduce you to a good friend of mine.
What were you being sarcastic about? Not knowing who Renard was? Cause I sure don't know <_<;

Have some perspective, perhaps? Just about every conflict in history has been driven by one side thinking that the other was at fault.
As much as I hate to risk a Godwin, let's look at WWII. Hitler thinks that the Germans deserve Austria, Poland, etc, because the Germans are awesome and it's all payback for the unfair (in his mind) Treaty of Versailles anyway. The Brits and French think that Hitler is getting too power-hungry and try to shut him down. Bam. Conflict. Each side thinks the other is in the wrong.

Let's face it, American politics rarely play nice. If you honestly think that the Conservatives spend their days plotting evil things to do to the liberals, while the Liberals spend their days caring for old folks and reading to terminally ill children, then you've badly lost your sense of perspective. The point of the article was the show that both sides are busy attempting to demonize the other while making excuses for their own, something that very few of us (myself not included) are exempt from.

Wait a second here. Were you trying to say that "yes, both sides are equally to blame" or "one side deserves more blame than the other"? Because I think our humor wires got crossed somewhere along the way.

This attitude really pisses me off.

Think this through for a second.  What are the odds that the two sides are equally to blame?
Pretty sure that was the joke.

So...is this good? It sounds good, from a privacy standpoint. Of course, the comments section disagrees.

You make covers by cutting any block with a saw, repeatedly.
