The statement still stands.

Depends on how good WINE is. I've heard a fair bit of stuff about it being unnecessarily annoying on occasion.

Just... put simply, you're not going to have less problems with gaming if you switch over to linux.

And yeah, recommending a linux switch to a windows person having gaming problems is kinda' like suggesting amputation for a papercut

Right down the clumsy prosthetics, even.

Mind you, you can still, y'know, function. Just... not as well. And occasionally stuff just isn't going to be possible.

No, no, the states are fine. We mostly killed everyone that could have a claim on the place. Probably kill anyone else that wants to significantly complain about it, too.

That might be a good heuristic, actually. They're a coherent nation if they're willing (and maybe able) to murder your arse for saying otherwise.

Okay... demographics thing, you're confusing me.

How does this: Black 18-29 5% 49% 49%
Black 30-44 15% 40% 58%
Black 45-64 32% 36% 62%
Black 65+ 19% 36% 62%
and this: Black 12% 89% 10%
Add up?

Actually, looking at it, I think the website just fucked up what age bracket was assigned to which numbers...

E: And I see the rampant xenophobic fearmongering is doing its job. Bleh.

And when you need more or replacement players?

The... same thing you do now? Ask, advertise, whatev'. Play with buddies or FG&RP would still be your base recruitment area, you'd just be doing the play of it somewhere else. Kinda' like running the game through IRC or somethin'.

I'd still kinda' like to know at what point in the bible free will is talked about at all. Choice is mentioned, but that's... not quite the same thing. Last I remember doing one of those google verse-search things, nothing explicit, or even strongly indicative (t'me, anyway) actually popped up. If free will doesn't actually have a significant scriptural basis (especially in the face of contradicting messages, as per the omniscience and 'all things by its will' stuff), talking about it re: christianity is kinda' silly, except insofar as it's one of those denominational additives.

A lot of the talk I've heard about it in regards to worship has struck me as one of those non-scriptural PR things. Kinda' like the omnibenevolence (which is blatant bullshit from a biblical perspective -- it's pretty hard to even read mundane benevolence from YWHW).

Though as a general thing, as has been noted, most sorts of free will are kinda' inimical to the whole "knows everything" and "has plan" bits. Not all, but most of the remainder are more than a little unsatisfying. Wozzname's remote-whatever scenario* sorta' stuff.

*For the unaware, it's one of those old questions re: free will: If you do everything of your own choice, but there's some being out in the universe watching you, with a remote on hand that could force you to do whatever they want and the only reason they never use it is because you do what they want anyway... do you have free will? You can't choose to do other than what you end up doing, but it just so happens that you incidentally don't happen to the make the metaphorical "wrong" choices and have your (self-)presumed agency violated. No actual choice, but you don't notice it.

Functionally identical to genuine free will, but considerably less satisfying, ha.

something about ping pong

Kill la Kill had some nice music. Might have been posted already, I'unno. Posting again!
