As an aside, I can’t be the only one annoyed by the choice to expand “AfD” to “Alternative for Germany” instead of “Alternative for Deutschland” right? I really think the best solution to this is that we all agree that AfD should fuck off into oblivion. Sound good? Great!

Civ IV was peak Civ for me. The changes made going into V just didn’t feel like Civ.

Yes, that includes the loss of doomstacks.

In the headline, “pledging to ‘murder’ shoplifters” is a restrictive participial phrase modifying “texts.” Restrictive elements are not offset by commas.

If premeditation was a requirement, 2nd degree murder would not exist.

Premeditation isn’t required for murder charges.
Malice aforethought is.

No… porque no los dos

But they don’t care as much about getting the ruling right in the first place? Is the timer on an appeal as precisely administered as a competiton timer, or is it handled with the same attention to detail as correctly scoring a routine?

The Quicksilver Gambit? In modern chess? We’re far beyond that!

This is absolutely not equivalent to the paradox of intolerance. Taking the stance of “you’re wrong to wish such torture upon anyone for any reason” almost immediately before wishing such torture upon someone is, by even the most generous interpretation, blatant hypocrisy.

No shit…

Hold up…

You’re wrong to wish such torture upon anyone for any reason, no matter what they’ve done.

You should be raped and stabbed until you understand why you’re wrong.

I heard the guy boiled a pot of water earlier in the day, so, you know, clearly it’s justified…

For reference, the first “A” stands for “ALL”.

I think the man currently lacks relevant feet…

Maybe someone who used to be a huge asshole? Out there making sloppy steaks in Death Valley with the Dangerous Nights crew.

Like sand.

This is the original game. Settlers of Kalguur is the newest league (think “season”) launching at the end of this week.

PoE 2 goes into early access sometime later this year, whenever that is. Regardless, they’ll be two distinct experiences, with many players planning to devote some time to both.

If you’re interested in starting PoE, my general advice is that the best time was yesterday. In this case, with a new league starting this week, I’d still encourage anyone to play around in the non-league standard just to get an early feel for things before Friday. PoE has a notoriously steep learning curve, so it’s never too early to log a few hours and experience the opening acts.

I’ll indulge you one more time in this comment chain.

Or is this one of those situations where you think the world runs on “should” and not “is?”

If I were as inclined to feign offense, I’d cite this as an implication that I’m someone who cannot differentiate reality from fantasy. Some might even call such an implication a thinly veiled insult, but only if they didn’t intend to throw rocks before hiding their hands.

Instead of interpreting it in such a way and clutching my pearls about it, I chose to meet you with the same energy.

Your point regarding the communities you moderate is 1) irrelevant and 2) not a road worth going down, regardless. It’s at best an attempt at a flex, and does not belong in this conversation.

Back to the actual matter, every statement you’ve made in these comments, barring your most recent response, absolutely exhibits a dictionary definition defeatist viewpoint. Why take umbrage to having it pointed out as such?

This marks the end of my engagement with you in this chain of comments. Any further responses you make are for your own gratification.
