So, I'm on Xbox One now.

Anybody got any recommendations? Alien is on my list of course, but I want to finish screwing around with Destiny first.

Is Diable III any better on a console?

Thanks baks, that was basically my plan, but I was going to throw in some comments about cheese eating surrender monkeys and Vietnam, too. looks like we've got a real valentino over here! but seriously, the bugs bunny thing helps you pronounce le francais properly, because he swallows his final n's...

I'm doing confirmation 14 years late. The things I do for my father... It is interesting being able to talk to learned people about the philosophical & historical basis of theology. It's like the "game" version of philosophy. That's always been the part about Catholicism that I enjoyed...

Oxy: As i understand it, that kind of thing is a sign of true fluency. On a practical standpoint, its annoying as all hell.

So, work was busy, I've barely done anything other than work, eat and sleep for the past 2-2 1/2 weeks. What'd I miss?

IB, check the hypocrisy please.

Yeah, but the functions depend on the school. Full time cops are usually only seen at the high school level. They're gonna be working full time on actual police things, investigating, protecting, serving, taking witness statements, acting as a walking radio connection to 911 dispatch. You'd be amaze...

Yeah, put them in the cop cars. School's have enough of a problem with vandalism and break ins that this is idiotic.

A) See IB's post B) The "Gamer" culture is toxic in so many ways that your comment just makes me think you haven't thought it through. C) I stopped being part of the "gamer" group, if I ever was a part of it, long ago, but it seems to me there was a massive culture shift back aro...

I use the concepts and mental tools I learned doing proofs just about every day. Yay for programming and having to write good requirements and documentation.

It's toxic in general, but worse to women.

Bob: I don't remember doing proofs in Geometry while I was in high school. But the common core standards say that it's c rrently being taught, so the class is useful. http://www.corestandards.org/Math/Content/HSG/introduction Out here in CA, at least at the honors level, we had to. I seem to rememb...

Thanks, Straha. I remembered something about loans, but couldn't remember the source, and something in the back of my head was saying "Stuart" so I wasn't willing to cite it.,

You have achieved true greatness as a father, but you have not achieved legendary status until your very presence inspires the other children to cheers and your own to humiliation.

Are you volunteering? Because I'm sure that there's ways to get you over there.

Thank you flagg.

You know what? I'm willing to concede that interventions can work when supported by a significant majority of the populace, or when the occupation stays long enough to cause a significant cultural shift, but those are still irrelevant to the more traditional "opposed by the local populace"...

Well, if you'd been at least even a little bit less of an ass with your final phrase, I might have said something along the lines of: "You know, you've got a point, I wasn't really thinking along those lines, but more along the lines of interventions opposed by a significant plurality of the po...

It's too hot to sleep, and I am beginning to think caffeine fueled exhaustion is affecting my mental faculties again. I'm certainly grouchiest EDIT: grouchier* than usual.

* see.

Number theory... Yum.

Your definitions of military intervention and mine are apparently different. How exactly is being invited in by the ruling power the same thing, or are you being purposefully moronic? Another option might be Australian jingoism, but I'm going to give you the benefit of the doubt you apparently don't...

It may be an oxford. I haven't looked at it for a while anyway ITT people go to some lengths to explain that it's ok when brown people gas each other, and we shouldn't actually try to stop them, because that would be worse than them gassing each other, and failing that, expensive, and failing that,...

The first gulf war is pretty much as close to an unprovoked attack by a big bad man picking on a smaller weaker country for no solid reason as you can get I actually don't disagree with you on that, but the problem is that 9999 times out of 10000, it's not anywhere near that clear. Also, as I said ...

Good vent: 4.0 through 13 units on my first semester returning to Uni.

Sn3 is pretty much gulf war 1 And I disagree with unilateral intervention* there, (I only have a voice in the US, if Saudi Arabia wants to intervene in that fight, they're welcome to). As an outside observer, I'm not qualified to know if the attack was provoked or not, so how do I know I'm supporti...
