General Discussion / Re: Sheb's European Megathread: Remove Feta!

We have them already. It's just that we either shoot them from a barrel or attach rockets to 'em. Instead of silly flesh horses, we propel our lances with fire and explosions.

Well yeah, bush would just fuck the situation up and not say or do anything about it, probably trying to keep things quiet or deflect attention from his fuckups until the next president comes in and inherits the shitmire he made in the interim. Competent is not words I'd use in tandem with bush in a political leadership position :-\

There'd be no shouting and whiskey, though, no. At least no shouting.

No... no, common sense is basically antithetical to fashion. They mutually annihilate on contact.

And the only thing I can ask is... why? Are they THAT focused on short-term? I mean, seriously, the top executives are facing PRISON for this. Did they think they could get away with it forever?
Pretty much. Either get away with it indefinitely or throw someone under a bus and avoid repercussions. It's worth noting that the latter is almost certainly going to happen for a lot of the people that made substantial money off that decision :V

Honestly, there's days that I wonder if investors shouldn't be liable for charges with stuff like this, along with the direct company decision makers. Bankruptcy, debt coverage and whatnot, sure, dodge those, but if you're investing in a company that's doing skeevy shit, maybe it's time you start getting shanked for it. After a time or two getting hit with fines and/or charges, people might become a helluva' lot more careful about who and what they invest in, with a subsequent improvement in corporate ethics and oversight.

The location listed for my intercultural comms class..... doesn't exist. The schedules says that you meet in room 241. There's room 244, 243, 242... and the stairwell. No room 241.
... run into the wall between 242 and the stairwell? Alternately, wrong building or part of building or somethin'.

... I'd probably wager on whichever combination is most likely to manage a second swing :P

I believe it does imply wishing not to do it again - as far as I understand, remorse is a sort of "oh crap, I screwed everything up massively" feeling, while the "I wish I didn't have to do this" feeling is called regret.
Either of them do imply wishing you won't do whatever it is again, at least for a little bit, yes. That doesn't even in the most remote of senses imply you won't, though, per the original inquiry. Any sort of guilt or guilt derivative can have remarkably little effect on actual action, heh. There's a distinct disconnect between feeling bad about something doing something about it :P

Things are odd tonight, I guess. Went to bathroom. Looked in mirror on way out. Noticed a single speck of glitter on my forehead. As near as I'm aware, there is zero glitter in this house.

I am apparently beginning my transformation into The Most Fabulous Dinosaur.

... time to go to sleep, methinks.

... one rough spot on one of my toenails. I scratch my foot, and in the process manage to get my arm with said nail. Somehow, I am now bleeding a little and it looks like I was only a little bit of pressure off from just straight up slitting open one of my wrists.

Is... is this what it feels like to be a velociraptor? Am I clever now? Toenail's clipped back into non-murder mode, but seriously, what the hell.

... they've actually got some fairly alright games on the PSP, though. Some of the spectral stuff is a little rough, but surprisingly involved and playable, and aedis eclipse is roughly in the same place (plus it has some amazing character design in places, ahaha). Blazing Souls innit particularly terrible, either, iirc, if I'm not mixing it up with something else.

And from what I understand of Agarest, calling it good may be going to far, but again, it's not exactly bad. Has its problems, but also some notable merits.

Idea Factory has definitely produced a fair amount of garbage, though. Just... not all of their stuff is garbage.

I'll admit, now I have an image in my head of bush literally walking up to a school with a flamethrower and setting it on fire, screaming "Thanks Obama!" at the top of his lungs.

I'unno, maybe xenomorphs digested barack and there's little hussein facehuggers running around the place? Or at least bush is hallucinating that. There's got to be a picture somewhere of an Aliens franchise xenomorph with obama's head as their mouth-mouth thing...

... haven't tried using it for mass uploads, but have you looked at upl.co? S'definitely painless for small numbers. Probably some others out there that are actually no bullshit, too.

12898
No, no. Bush getting elected would cause another major hurricane. The weather shifts from every school in the country spontaneously combusting would cause some serious storms. Also think of the wildfires, the damage to our infrastructure that would follow a bush election and subsequent educational immolation would be ridiculous.

Well, if you've got the music, I've got the scrotum pumps and ovum harvesters. Together, we can save the billions of people*murdered every day by individuals' refusal to incessantly procreate! Maybe we'll even manage to get the exowombs up and functional and save all the lives attempting to naturally carry fetuses to term end!
*Not actually people.
It'll be a gay ol' time, ahaha!

... seriously though, how's the polls doing? I hear fio... whatever it is... came up a bit after that last debate?

12900
Non-insane innit getting the polls, mate. Maybe that'll change in the next few months, who knows. I wouldn't give particularly good odds on it.

Though abortion's probably coming up because of the current shutdown jousting. The whole Video of Lies thing, conservative attempts to throw babies out without getting any bathwater thrown out in the process, while also setting fire to the neighborhood, etc., etc.
