New hitman game has great graphics

Agent 47 has put on weight since faking his death in the 4th game, and forgetting that happened in the 5th game, and I don't know what in the 3 games since considering the poor continuity.

Ordered Chaos

Not bothered at all. I suck at Street Fighter so that's hardly anything to brag about.

Assuming you do nothing but play the game and sleep 10,000 hours is going to take 1.5 years.

Is "breedable" offensive to women, or is it like saying hot/sexy?

You asked 2 questions... So, yes mean it's one or both of those. No means it's neither of them.

I don't think people should have their privacy and rights hindered by the status quo of how things used to be is enough

I don't think representing people who aren't a majority is upsetting in any way

I don't think treating people with basic decent courtesy is much to ask for

I don't think assholes being called out for being assholes is bad

does that make me woke

No, you sound like a conservative.

I don't believe the Earth is flat.

That at least their Venn diagram is not just a perfect circle.

Neither is a Venn diagram of people that believe the earth is flat and people who believe climate change is a hoax. What was your point?

KodyKeir posted...

Sure, but when you're in a Venn diagram that includes people that believe the earth is flat and people who believe climate change is a hoax, well...

That means nothing. You can make a Venn diagram of people who like apples, people who like grapes, and people who have athletes foot. What does that say about people who like apples that they're in a Venn diagram with people who have athletes foot?

The action to stop racism is anti racism, an active role versus a passive or regressive role.

Anti-racism is just racism with an intended beneficiary. The goal is not to do away with discrimination but to make use of it.

KodyKeir posted...

White men are the predominant demographic of those in charge and have been for some time now.

What does this have to do with discrimination?

Only by your definition

It's not just mine. By other people's definition as well.

KodyKeir posted...

An out of context unattributed quote is your proof.

No, it's an example. Googling that quote leads me to a few interesting results.

The second is a PDF document called "We need discrimination today".

It reads as follows.

Ibram X. Kendi, in his book How to Be an Antiracist states, The only remedy to racist discrimination is antiracist discrimination. The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination. The only remedy to present discrimination is future discrimination.

The critics of critical race theory argue that a racist is one who treats people differently based on the color of their skin rather than the content of their character. CRT says the only way to exorcise Americas systemic racism is to make non-people of color to realize that they are racists because of their skin color, regardless of their character or heart.

Now, the first result for that quote is a letter from the Attorney General of Missouri, Eric Schmitt, to the Secretary of the Department of Education, Miguel Cardona, about Ibram X. Kendi's book, How to Be an Antiracist, being taught in schools.

Schmitt writes that:

Professor Kendi's absolutist view endorses overt racial discrimination
...
He posits that the "most threatening racist movement is ... the regular American's drive for a 'race neutral'" society.

KodyKeir posted...

The theory that explains systemic racism is actually the cause of all racism... Do you hear the words you are typing?

I never said that. Racism was a concern before CRT was thought up.

Here is a quote I found.
"The only remedy to past discrimination is present discrimination.

That is the sort of thing CRT promotes. Instead of condemning discrimination it is instead a useful tool so long as people discriminate the way they're told to. That creates systemic racism.

The person writing that sounds like the problem. It's just a bunch of whining that people haven't broken the rules but they're discussing something the author doesn't agree with so they'll ban those people anyway.

Very roughly it's

That only makes things more confusing.

"Just be yourself"
That is the opposite of wokeness.

"there's someone for everyone"
What does that have to do with anything?

"attraction is subjective"
Why do you keep bringing up attraction?

"You must continue to improve to remain successful"
I don't know if that has anything to do with basedness. What if someone is not currently successful?

Like... angry slapped or playful slapped? Intend is key here.

KodyKeir posted...

They recject the idea that racism could be systemic, that their existence contributes to the perpetuation of something horrible.

No, they don't want that to happen. They reject CRT to keep it from bringing about systemic racism.

KodyKeir posted...

So when people dismiss CRT outright, it's because the idea threatens the traditional power structures and institutions of society that benefit them.

I have an awareness that society is by design unfair to specific groups.

Definitely not "Woke". But I don't know what "Based" means. So I really can't say.

Using the colloquial definition of woke here. What do you think?

I thought the woke were adverse to colloquial definitions.

Yellow posted...

means you don't think trans people are groomers so yeah I guess I am woke now.

I recall hearing about children being persuaded into thinking they were trans when they didn't identify that way previously. But I don't recall actual trans people being behind it. Was that ever the argument?

Psythik posted...

If by "woke", you mean against fascism, rascism, sexism, and general bigotry + anti-democratic behavior, then yeah, I guess you could consider me "woke" as fuck.

No, "woke" promotes all of those things. If you're against those things the word you're looking for is "anti-woke".

Psythik posted...

simply wishing your neighbors would be treated as equal human beings is somehow considered a bad thing

I think that's just more of an American value. The "woke" are anti-America, so what they value is treating everyone differently according to their race, sex, gender identity, and so forth.

BigOlePappy posted...

Do you think people have different interpretations of the term?

Apparently they do.

Psythik posted...

Merriam-Webster defines the word as "aware of and actively attentive to important facts and issues (especially issues of racial and social justice)".

Didn't Merriam-Webster also make "Literally" its own antonym because people kept misusing it?
"Woke" is an ironic pejorative term for people who are brainwashed by establishment media.
e.g. Look how self aware and cognizant of their own actions this person is while under hypnosis.

Jumbo Shrimp

Okay, but you call it supper or dinner?

I think what happened was Amazon sent an email with the question to customers who bought the product from Amazon. The customer either, is upset that the order was lost in shipping, bought it as a gift for someone else, only used it once since getting it, etc... The customer takes out their frustrations with their reply and has no idea it will be displayed on the product page.

No

This is what it looks like for me.

I guess it has to do with the amount of force you put into it. I.e. troll harder.

No idea what else she's said not pertinent to her books.
Apparently she keeps altering details of her stories and completely contradicting what was written.

US President Joe Biden is the oldest to hold office.
During an interview on 60 Minutes he stumbled over his words while answering if he was fit for the job considering his age.
Is he really no older than a fly?

A tsetse fly can live up to 4 months.

Yes, that is precisely how games were made in the 80s and early 90s.

Someone explain why we should care about the publisher more than the writer, director, coders.

The publishers interfere the most with the development. The important information about a games development is how much of a detriment the publisher was to the writer, director, coders being able to do their job.

Straughan posted...

I had a hard enough time remembering authors of books. I just remembered the book's name. I never gave a shot who wrote it. I used to do bad on tests that would ask for information like that.

Yeah, that. In school I could write essays about the plot of the book with no problem. But ask me about the author and I never had that information to begin with.

I think the crux of this is: exceptions are not contradictions.

The fact remains that he doesn't like apples. He likes an aspect of the apples that mcintosh don't share.
The government is not against pyramid schemes. The government is against an aspect of pyramid schemes that doesn't apply to their own.
The exception points to the falsehood of the original statement.

Sahuagin posted...

no?

The statement "he likes apples" is contradicted by the existence of apples he doesn't like.
-just as-
The statement "the government is against pyramid schemes" is contradicted by the existence of a pyramid scheme the government is not against.

There is something else about the apple that he does or does not like. Not just that it is an apple.
There is something else about the pyramid scheme that the government is or is not against. Not just that it is a pyramid scheme.

You're saying the original statement is not without exception.
I'm saying exception defines the something else about it. Once defined what you then wind up testing for is what he likes, or what the government is against.

...yeah but that's your conclusion drawn from false premises
