Comment Just play minecraft instead (Score 1) 138

Minecraft is pretty much a ripoff of Dwarf Fortress, the creator has openly admitted this. But he made it colorful and dumbed it down a lot, so naturally he's rich now. Dwarf Fortress regularly gets negative coverage from game reviewers who offer such sparkling insights as "What the hell is this? It looks like a dot-matrix printer exploded on my screen." So just play Minecraft to get the same experience.

Comment Re:If you can observe it, it is not religion (Score 1) 105

You conveniently ignore the religious aspects of modern left-wing thought in the environmental area. Who are Ghandi and Nelson Mandela but modern-day saints who can do no wrong? Nobody is allowed to ask how Mandela's people invented necklacing because it is heresy.

Be real, real careful about claiming that science supports you and you alone. It has a nasty habit of turning against you. Because it is, you know, evidence-based.

These old KGB archives are very inconvenient. They have a lot of damaging information about people who are still in politics, who cooperated in the past. It's not a good thing for the world to remember that the KGB funded the anti-nuclear movement in Europe, or Greenpeace, or Amnesty International. Let's just let this quietly lay. Fortunately, it's all in Russian and translators are a pain in the ass.

Dictatorship is an innate characteristic of communism. I'm not sure how you learned otherwise. It's not like they keep it a secret. Communists are quite proud of the fact.

"You are dictatorial." My dear sirs, you are right, that is just what we are. All the experience the Chinese people have accumulated through several decades teaches us to enforce the people's democratic dictatorship, that is, to deprive the reactionaries of the right to speak and let the people alone have that right.

Comment Re:Superman logo is a Trademark (Score -1) 249

Honestly, and a lot of people are not going to like this, I don't believe that this child's marker deserves the Superman logo. Why not put the logo on the marker of Christopher Reeve or George Reeves. They are the only people who would have actually earned it. The death of this child is tragic, but other than being a superman fan, what was his connection?

Because the pretentious twat reviewer types will savagely treat any monochrome product. Moreover the trendy hipster crowd would never use anything not in full color. It would be a sales disaster. Practical? Who the hell ever got invited to parties for being practical?

You're not thinking like a terrorist. They don't care about a line at the airport, they want a big flashy attack that will make all the newspapers. If Boko Haram had attacked small schools all over Nigeria instead of one big one, would they have gotten into the news? Nope, forget it, it the mainstream media wouldn't have paid attention. But now everyone knows the name Boko Haram and what they want: Western influence out of Nigeria, permanently.

How long is a subway car? Most of the world doesn't have subways. Just shows the writer's unconscious bias when she fails to consider this because she and everyone she knows uses the subway every day. It's pernicious and it's inexcusable for educated people.

"pro-unrestrained capitalist propaganda" I guess is what leftists are calling anything that disagrees with their own viewpoints. Funny how we're all supposed to be tolerant of different opinions, until those opinions don't follow left-wing thought. Then the most vile denunciations are appropriate to use, and dehumanizing your targets is a suitable response. Sickening, but here we are.
