I think there is a piece of scientific philosophy (that is, philosophy pertaining to science as a whole) that might be apt here. It says, forgive me if I get this wrong, I'm not even in University yet, that a paradigm shift doesn't happen when you finally convince the old guard, the people holding the old view. It happens when the old guard die out, and the new people, new scientists who aren't entrenched in the old system take over.

Since that seems to be saying something about humans and people rather than science in and of itself, I think it can fit here. It's very hard to convince people that they're wrong, especially if they have a vested interest in not being convinced, and/or if they've thought they were right their whole life and everyone they grew up with taught them that way. Aside from a few instances that get magnified (spotlight fallacy) I don't think there is much changing of hearts in things like whether gay people are worthy of marriage, worthy of being called human. Or whether trans* people are worthy of having steady work and a safe transition.

So as the baby-boomers die out, the younger generation (assuming they're much better) should have a higher proportion of the vote, and therefore more power. Not to mention people born in more tolerant times getting in to politics, that should have an impact too.

Or something, I'm tired. Someone else can run with this, or say "Nope, you're wrong, Descan." or ignore it.

Plus, this computer is slow, so I'm waiting for a few moments for me to see what I've written, and that distracts me from my thoughts.

If anything he comes off a bit cute~

Sorry Descan, can't help it. I was raised by girls, playing gay chicken is just my default setting. But seriously, you are a pretty cool guy.

I giggled a little when I read this train of conversation.

D'awww thanks you guuuuuys! I'm blushing. <3

The problem with gay chicken is that if it goes too far it's just two guys making out.

Problem? Who has problem? 

Anyway, there haaaaas been a few times where I have to tune down, or even turn off the "happy". Like when I'm with my homophobic semi-estranged father who I am still in the closet towards. Or am in the Bad Part of Town. Or it makes the people I'm with uncomfortable. (That one was difficult for some reason. :/)

And honestly, I'm really freaking shy in person. Like, I'll just ... stare at people, trying to work up the courage to say to myself, "Hell with it, 'least they can do is say 'No, I'm not gay/interested.'" NEVER GET AROUND TO IT THOUGH.  Thank Murphy for the internet. (Yet some how I still end up covered in cute men. What's up with that?)

Most of the problems with steam vs not-steam has been because Steam versions have a different checksum.

I THINK if the checksums are the same, you should be golden. >w>

Was your son landed? Was he higher or lower or equal tier to you?

So it's a zombie infection.

...

Shit mang. I need to gen this world much quicker. >w>

I don't really care about future generations if it's at all possible for me to stick around. I don't see why we need to sacrifice people still alive for potential people in the future. <3

I'm starting to wonder if even trying for a medical degree is worth it. >->

I have nothing to post here. I just want to keep updated on the funny. :C
