Last time they won a playoff game: January 6, 1991
First SMS text message in human history: December 3, 1992
The Lions haven't won a playoff game since before the merger lol. But they did last go to the playoffs the same year the Bengals did... Must be because of their large claws don't work well with pig skin.

Alright, now we just gotta find or found Cerberus, so they can do Project Lazarus. Get you some cool glowy orange scar tissue.

I would go as far as to say that laws in general only exists against the people that respect it.
Because, for someone that usually breaks the law, having 10 or having 1000 means nothing.

Friend linked me to some drama on the 14 forums yesterday (gm giving people permanent account warnings over using party finder incorrectly), after reading for 30 minutes or so I was struck by just how out of place I felt there.
That's one game I'll never ever fit in playing, almost feels like going into a second life fan forum or something.

LOL what were they doing seeking a dd slot as a whm.
I don't have a clue how it works, how does one do it "incorrectly".

Regarding the Gustav quote: didn't some rich person in the US rack up like $20,000 in parking tickets or something because they were renovating their driveway and couldn't be bothered to move their cars beyond the nearest public road? lol
Regarding the N7 jacket: YouTube Video Placeholder

Bezos paid daily parking tickets to have his mansion renovated, yes
Paid 23 million for the building, and they think a 20k fine means something.

Holy ***88 pages? in one day? That's some nerd rage.
I'm NOT *** reading that. Really, sounds like from the OP that they're not explicitly breaking any rules, stupid people simply don't read the party finders "conditions" like seacoms I guess.

Yeah I'm having a hard time understanding what's going on as well. The original post feels like it's meant to be read by people already aware of the context.

In the evenings almost 1/2 of the PF listings are for RP venues. This has been going on for years.
So why now?
And no, I amn't reading that.

I feel like everyone who got caught knew why they were being caught (i just read the OP and a couple of posts below, im not sure exactly what they were doing but i can guess).
Was that PF used for sexual stuffs, harassing or real money advertisement?

Quote: a violent video game is described as one that “allows a user or player to control a character within the video game that is encouraged to perpetuate human-on-human violence in which the player kills or otherwise causes serious physical or psychological harm to another human or an animal.
Stop killing crabs!

Lets make a pact and from now on, just kill mobs that are aggressive, for self defense.
Anyone killing non aggressive mob must go to jail

There's a conversation to be had about violence in all media.
the tl:dr is failures as people, not fantasy violence.
I can see the thought process where your character slaughters npcs and you feel euphoria and that being the reason you escalate to real humans. But it's ***. You can say the same thing about killing npcs sating your desire for violence. it works both ways. it's the person.
Are "we" overstimulated and desensitized? yeah, of course. you're supposed to keep that in check.

They're not even looking at the real problem. Not all murderers have played Call of Duty, but every murderer in existence has eaten food, oftentimes many times in their lives. And as we all know: correlation equals causation!

Many in the industry say
"violent video games don't make you violent"
This is true, but it's not the argument they are making:
The actual argument they are making is:
"if violent media pushes 1 or 2 people in the entire nation to commit violence (because they have some mental issue) and copy the acts they saw, should the media be censored for everyone"
Should I be allowed to upload a video of me juggling knives, that gets millions of views if one idiot copies it and stabs himself in the eye?

"We don't want to acknowledge mental illnesses and address their root causes because that would cost money. Video games (and before that, movies, rock music, and chess) are an easy target with few lawyers willing to defend it, let's blame that instead!"

GTA 5 has sold what, 120 million copies? It won every legal challenge, give up already. Save your lawsuits and ban proposals for GTA 6.

Read some of that 14 drama. I find real hard to empathize the RP people complaining. On my data center, it's like people spamming advertisements for their E-prostitution rings and trying to sell feet pics. SE moved my server to a different data center, and it's just never been the same.

On my data center, it's like people spamming advertisements for their E-prostitution rings and trying to sell feet pics. SE moved my server to a different data center, and it's just never been the same. It sounds to me like the current set-up is lose-lose, and that they'd be a lot better off putting something else in place altogether that can accommodate the offended party. Of course, I have no idea.
This is a thread that I found on another website I post at. It can be really really interesting. I thought it deserved a place here.
Post your random thoughts for the day here, or anything else that intrigues you.
For starters, is it possible to give constructive critism to someone who doesn't have a neck? I totally just walked by a girl who didn't. Someone isn't getting a necklace for Valentines day!
And who decided black and white can't be colors? I want to say a racist. I really do.
