This is a straw man. He made a general observation about tropes that commonly appear in popular culture, and he gave Game of Thrones as an example, but he hardly talked about writer(s)'s intention. He probably implied something about that, but he did not go so far as to say that we should view the ...

we seem to be hitting the two very unthoughtful, stereotypical views on each extreme end here. Nothing like talking about shows clearly neither of you understand --never let that get in the way of making a sweeping declaration though! I'm very much on the feminist end of the things, but neither of ...

Jetpack (1993)
I have decided that this forum needs a thread dedicated to the classic platformer Jetpack. It's a game of puzzles and labyrinths, partly inspired by Lode Runner, but way more advanced in terms of gameplay. And the best part is that it comes with a powerful, built-in level editor. Here is a speedrun ...

*sigh* This thread is so full of unthoughtful assertions and assumptions I can't really see how this could possibly be a beneficial discussion, ranging from Have you seen television in the last fifty years? Girls always win at sports, win at fights, and now have leading roles in a ton of television...

Thank you for your time, this has been very educative to me, and I am especially glad to learn that the seeming contradictions with the idea of time as a dimension, are all accounted for in physics. It seems that the only point on which we still differ is whether or not a theory of physics can lead ...

Sorry for the late response. I haven't had much time, and the few times that I did and I checked the website, there was some server error or another. I will summarize this post in advance by remarking that we indeed seem to be in agreement on most points. First of all, I'd like to correct myself. I'...

First of all, I'd like to correct myself. I'm not sure whether or not Newton believed in determinism, but I meant Laplace. However, while we're at it, Spinoza is probably a way better example. Spinoza's Ethica provides an a priori deduction for determinism. The claim that physics is more fundamental...

Hmm, I'm getting the impression that you want a lot of control with minimal configuration. Those desires don't seem particularly compatible, unless you were fortunate enough to have someone program exactly your style of WM. My primary issue is that one has to get used to an entirely different workf...

Physics has always attempted to change the meaning of words as our knowledge of the world increased. The word 'black' originally referred to a very dark colour. Scientists treated it as the absolute lack of colour, a surface that reflects all of the light that lands on it. When it later turned out t...

With my current workflow, I use tiling window managers less and less. I used to be a huge fan of them, to the point of refusing to use any floating WMs whatsoever (I actually initially switched to GNU/Linux because of the wide choice of window managers), but here are some issues with almost all tili...

The thing is that there are still a lot of films that are only available on DVD. Just the other week I bought one, because I couldn't find the film even on private trackers. None of my PCs have a DVD drive anymore, so I actually had to lend my mom's laptop to watch it. Earth does not have a circumfe...

Are there any documented cases where Firefox installs malware onto the OS? If you're already using GNU/Linux, I don't think you have to worry too much as long as you take caution in what extensions you install (and as long as you get them from addons.mozilla.org, you should be fine). If you're on Wi...
