Comment So you both made "Hunger Games: the video game?" (Score 1) 174

Or more specifically, "Last Man Standing, but with 100 people." Your game isn't even original to begin with here.

I hate it when organizations and entities I like do incredibly shitty things. Have fun hanging out with Lars Ulrich, I guess.

Comment A hack? (Score 2) 646

Hammurabi was a hack. Who can call "an eye for an eye" justice?

Human society needs to face the fact that they aren't fit to enact "justice". No system on Earth does anything except punish and harm. There's no understanding of rehabilitation, cause and effect, or other social influences that lead people down the road of crime in the first place. No legal system on this planet is capable of reducing crime because they're too busy deciding on punishments to consider the *cause* behind a person's choices. When someone commits a heinous crime, it is a sign that society has failed that person. Something fucked up in that person's life and they were robbed of a normal life, with opportunities, friends, and meaning.

But you won't hear or read that in any court room. They don't give a fuck about anything except re-election.

Hammurabi a hack? What are you talking about? This shit seems SUPER fair:

"If any one steal cattle or sheep, or an ass, or a pig or a goat, if it belong to a god or to the court, the thief shall pay thirtyfold therefor; if they belonged to a freed man of the king he shall pay tenfold; if the thief has nothing with which to pay he shall be put to death."

"If a son strikes his father, they shall cut off his fingers."

"If any one brings an accusation of any crime before the elders, and does not prove what he has charged, he shall, if it be a capital offense charged, be put to death."

"If conspirators meet in the house of a tavern-keeper, and these conspirators are not captured and delivered to the court, the tavern-keeper shall be put to death."

Comment Re:What is OneNote? (Score 1) 72

People with this attitude remind me of the holdouts who prefer individual browser windows to a tabbed interface. There are a few out there, but the rest of us have moved on to a more efficient form of use.

I, too, used to prefer having a folder structure with the various types of files layered throughout it. I still do create these structures and separate some things I like to stand alone. For everything else that has heavily related and connected content, OneNote is invaluable.

Comment Until there is parity with OneNote 2016... (Score 1) 72

I use OneNote regularly, both at work and home, and heavily for organizing D&D/RPG campaigns. There are too many features (the tagging, is incredibly important) missing from Windows 10 OneNote for me to make the switch. Once there's enough parity, I could probably migrate, but it's seriously impaired without the features that make it most useful.

Comment I'll admit to landing on and using the page. (Score 2) 63

When I go to watch a movie or start a new series, I usually check to see if it's already showing on any of the various services I'm already paying for. Why go searching for a movie if I can just fire up Netflix, Hulu, Prime Video or Crunchyroll? Sites that track what's currently playing on the major services are useful, since you can quickly "search" all of your services at once. It kind of reminds me of the old "Dogpile" search engine (which I literally just found out is still somehow a thing) that searched the other search engines for you, back when there was no parity in the sites they returned.

I agree with the above sentiment that the service wasn't incredibly useful a lot of the time, since it did tend to point to a bunch of random services that I'd never heard of, and therefore didn't really trust. Still, a site that can keep track of the content offered on your streaming services IS still useful, in my opinion.

Comment Re:Inertia, primarily (Score 1) 172

Common sense policy making? Like safe spaces and microaggressions? Like caving people's skulls in with bike locks? When you think injecting cattle with hormones is evil, but injecting kids with hormones to arrest their puberty is just fine?

And then your counter-response is to roll out the same, tired bullshit stereotypes every other asswipe on the right does. Is this the part where I call you Hitler, racist, or too stupid to understand modern science? Are you a flat-earther, member of the KKK, or a lobbyist for "big oil?"

There's a high probability you're somewhere in the middle, like the majority of Americans. Left-leaning or right, you just want what's best for you and yours. You want the freedom to make your own choices about your life, and you want to be able to protect yourself from threats, both foreign and domestic. You probably don't care much about where we land on abortion, marijuana, or even gun laws, as long as you're free to make your own decisions about each, as a non-criminal, law-abiding citizen.

Instead, when you dive into the same rhetoric where everyone left of your viewpoint is treated as if they were Antifa, PETA, or a "Social Justice Warrior," you're just as guilty as the same assholes who would call you an Alt-Right, racist Nazi.

Keep up the good work, Svetlana.
