I hope no one asks me to try out a WoD game in the next month or so.

And yet it's still the best thing WW ever shat out.

Hit them with complaint letters.

Well, I've sent a complaint to them about it, yeah. We'll see if anything good comes of it.

I sure do love selective enforcement of rules.

Perhaps you should try to source your images on Gather.com; they allow nudity and illustrated nudity, if flagged appropriately.

Crissa · Post by **Crissa** » Tue Sep 15, 2009 8:53 pm

That's when you send back their form letter with your form letter asking what nudity was in the image?

Selective enforcement is really the bane of the current era.

Well, it does, but it's not graphic nudity, but I don't think they care for that distinction. In any case, I guess I should look for an imagehost that is less retarded.

Hence harassing them is useful.

Let us look back on this:

1. They were undressing to show off who has the bigger bruise.
2. Eragon drops his pants and proves that his is the biggest.
3. Eragon doesn't put his pants back up.
4. Roran shows him his back, taking off his own shirt.
5. Eragon twists the staff that Roran gave him while looking at his cousin's back.

There is nothing at all homoerotic about this. None. Zero. Zilch. There is no homoerotic subtext here at all of two boys, one twisting his cousin's large staff in his hands with his pants down. Paolini might as well give up all pretense here and just write the Porn. He clearly wants to. AND as he wasn't writing this part on the computer having taken up pen and paper, he was writing with one hand. The subtext here just gets piled on like a bunch of hot sweaty men in an orgy. \~/ \~/ \~/ \~/ \~/ \~/

Reality has a liberal-leaning bias.

I learned about this piece of history on another game forum and thought it was just horrible enough that I could use it as inspiration and give it some teeth with dominated key officials maneuvering for it to happen in my 1936 hollow earth expedition game I am running (should the players manage to escape back to the surface world).

I do like the visual of people being accelerated away from the Bible and into the black hole of atheism.

This is pretty cool. Prices to the left, outcomes to the right, usage in boldness of line.

Are Americans overtreated and overcovered? Yes/no?

Cognitive biases; a very useful (although it could use a bit of cleaning to keep up with modern language) presentation on cognitive biases.

Which are things we're fighting against all the time here.

Cracked is not really a great source of info, but this article makes some good points.

Cracked is a terrible source, but they're a great place to get informed about whatever, as well as an excellent source of entertainment.

Heads-up Josh. Pennsylvania is having a little contagion problem.

This makes me both laugh and cry

And despite my having taken an oath to uphold and defend the constitution at the start of this job. I'm legally barred from going into detail as to which parts are laugh at the wingnutbagger conspiracy lunatics and which are cry with horrific recognition.

Well, it's just as expensive to train 50 people as 15, though the former won't have as in depth education. If you expect to lose some percentage of workers, it's cheaper to train more, then spread the work out than to have more than one training session to replace the losses.

Aside from that, lots of scary things. I do know my census form didn't get processed in the month before the person came out to find us. Of course, they didn't even have our address before...

1. When it is paid training, as in the trainees receive wages, then costs do increase with class size.

2. That article is just the current cover story it's not really what concerns me.. If you have the inclination, browse some of the rest of the site and you can find both insightful criticism of staggering incompetence and also new levels of nutjobism.

Yes, it's hard to tell which is which.

So I stopped intentionally injuring myself.

Gah. I just discovered some Radical Feminist blogs. The illogic in the blog posts themselves is bad enough, but the comments makes my brain cry, but the horrific parenting shown in other comments is even worse.

You Sexist! You can't disagree with one of the fundamental pillars of equality!

Only Sexists disagree with any feminism ever!
