St. Louis goes up 2-1 in the Series in one of oddest endings in WS history.
Decide for yourself--good call, or were the Red Sox robbed?

who's in ft lauderdale florida for the next two days and wants a drink on philcore?
I'll buy you a drink if I know who you are (from here, that is - obviously if I knew you IRL I'd just call you ) and want to meet up somewhere close to where I'm staying.

I'm a lot of fun to meet up with when I'm on vacation. Nigee can confirm.

NFL Pick 'em: Week 8--the Niners in London Town, Romo/Stafford, and the Pack Back on SNF
So I missed posting for Thursday Night Football...but if everyone didn't already have the PANTHERS over the Bucs anyway...get out. Elsewhere, the Niners look to crush, erm, stomp, erm, play the Jaguars in a highly competitive game in Wembley Stadium (who do we always give London the bad games?) Romo's Cowboys and Stafford's Lions both have something to prove, the Vikings have to find a QB, all this and more, so, Week 8--PICK 'EM!

Crusader Kings 2 choosing which character to play

I have Islamic expansion and the Rome-thingy and some other stuff.
What characters are a blast? I have had much fun with all the Spanish king brothers but I'm done with them. What else?

I'm sorry if this has been brought up before, but this useful feature which prevents your browser from posting your messages repeatedly when you did not intend to do so is missing something; it is missing a semicolon.

Does everyone cheat in this game?
Once again, I am playing a game in which there are "anonymous" players, and no "in game" messaging, and there is obvious collaboration. Is this standard? Do players believe that because it only states "no in game" messaging that it is okay to have "out of game" messaging?

You're all wrong. It's neither spam nor trolling. It's just dumb-ass shit.

And while I recognize your freedom to post dumb-ass shit, dumb-ass shit makes me hate that freedom.
krellin (80 DX)
24 Oct 13 UTC
@Hecks -- of course, given the title of the thread, and the author, weren't you aware beforehand that it would be dumb-ass shit? And therefore you choose to submit yourself to dumb-ass shit...and had the freedom to not subject yourself to it. So the fault is yours and yours alone.

Which brings up an interesting side topic: freedom to be heard and freedom to listen....and ignored and ignore.

Sadly, the notion of "freedom of speech" these days seems to have perverted by many to mean "right...even demand...to be heard" and the corollary "inability to ignore / I can't stp watching, and then I complain"

Listen people...not everybody deserves to be heard. Say what you want, but if it's just an echo in the woods, deal with it. High on that list is the next celebrity and/or athlete that feels that need to tell me he's a fag. I don't give a fuck...and certainyl won't fuck you...so I don't care. Why must you publicize this and expect the media to report it? Worse, why does the media report it instead of saying, "So what...?" Is it *really* that big a deal anymore that their are pole smokers out there, or ladies that like to play with the little man in the canoe? You don't have a right to be HEARD...so...geesh...

And likewise, it's OK to ignore people...meaning the next time you get outraged because you were stupid enough to subject yourself to something you knew going in you weren't going to like...then the fault is YOURS, not the dude that said whatever.

Fuck....geesh....

@Krellin,
Yes, I was exaggerating for effect. Also for laughs, though I think I missed the mark. Anyway, I don't mind a little dumb-ass shit every now and again. It's inane, but inane's not so bad. Just don't put my name on it and I don't care.

By the way, I think a number of your comments/posts/ideas would be more constructive or interesting if you attack the issue or hell even the person without assuming or calling them "Lib-tards" or some such. Just an observation of mine.

semck83 (229 D(B))

I think that they should have to write an essay on how any particular testing format, including the essay, skews in favor of a particular type of intelligence and gives those who are good at that type of exam strong incentive to continue enforcing that exam as a barrier to political participation.

Yeah, morons having the vote is annoying sometimes, but the alternative is worse. Especially since determining who the morons are is impossible, as semck says.

orathaic (1009 D(B))
25 Oct 13 UTC
IQ is an example of 'how any particular testing format,' it doesn't measure lots of things, like essay writing skill, or emotional intelligence, or atheltic ability, or leadership, or hand-eye-coordination... All skills based on neural development, so entirely equivalent in some sense.

And more to the point, the inability of you to make humour which is understandable to others demonstrates the lack of value of a high IQ without the capacity to understand other points of view.

Those with a high IQ do have access to a free MENSA mug, which often takes pride of place at the very back of the cup draw where no one can see it. There may even be other benefits, but I can't think of them at the moment.

Playing with 2 accounts
I am playing with some friends the online game of Modern Diplomacy.
One of our friends has stepped out of the game. He gave his password to another player/friend so that he can play for him. So this player is now playing under his own account and also on the other account of the friend who is already out of the game. Our question now is, is this allowed?
