Puntification posted:Comparing deaths from malnutrition to deaths from GMOs is a really disingenuous non-sequitur even if the people commenting are dipshits, unless you are giving away these GM crops or their produce people dying from malnutrition are still gonna die cos they can't afford to pay for them in the first place. In the future GMOs might be useful for producing plants that can deal with a climate that's significantly changed but for the time being world hunger is a distribution issue and the problem is capitalism not food production; the idiots are ironically correct. I agree with you, however this idiot isn't saying "This is a disingenuous comparison and here's well thought out and nuanced argument explaining why." He's saying "GMO safety is a loving lie you useless hippy pussy!" For what it's worth the guy in the profile picture he was responding to looked like a bog standard young dude with a buzzcut and wearing a normal t-shirt  There's more of his shittiness in the comment thread but I can't find it again and I only took those two screenshots. He then went on to make like a dozen posts back-to-back, many of which were quoting excerpts from dubious reports about thousands of people dying from eating GMO and a few others from reports about pesticides that don't even mention GMO at all. Quotes were not sourced. Mak0rz has a new favorite as of 01:41 on Apr 11, 2016 |

Also groups like the Golden Rice Project do straight up give the technology to reasearch institutions and governments in developing countries. The GRP even prohibits the selling of Golden Rice seeds at higher than non-GR seed prices and the international export of GR rice by commercial groups so that farmers can afford the seeds and the crop stays in the community where it's needed.

Yeah, but that's a lot harder to be angry about. I prefer the 'ignorance is bliss (and anger)' route.

GRP is a good project but it's a one of a kind pretty much as far as I know.

Meanwhile in real life:quote:Goddammit, it only took me five seconds of Googling to discover that (again) Safe Spaces are nothing like what South Park thinks they are. Nobody is talking about giving celebrities Safe Spaces to be famous in, the discussion is about college kids who have traditionally been victims of harassment being allowed to not be victims of harassment for a while. Like, if you're a gay college student and active in the PRIDE group, you can go to a "Safe Space" where you're allowed to just hang out and people aren't allowed to ask you questions about what it's like to be gay. It really just sounds like a "home" to me and ... I haven't been keeping up, but we're still allowed to have private homes, right? And to choose who we live with? I wouldn't choose to live with somebody who listened to dubstep, and that's my right as an American. I assume that right extends to people who don't want to be called a "loving Jew" while they're trying to watch the new season of Daredevil.

If they do voice acting for Link they should just do a joke about it in the opening cutscene, where he cannot get a word in and just gets more and more frustrated until he only communicates in angry grunts and stays that way for the rest of the game. "GANON IS ON HIS WAY" "Well, I think that..." "BUT GANON IS COMING AND WE NEED TO STOP HIM LINK!" "Well yes, but what if..." "GO TO THE FOREST AND GET THE SWORD" "rrrrrrggg. I'm just trying to suggest..." "YOU HAVE YOUR" "another tactic..." "MISSION!" "that, if you'll just listen, may be..." "GO!" "RAAAAGGH! FINE! GAH! *Kicks open door angrily* HYAAAH!"

So basically how Jak and Daxter did it in their first game? Although in Link's case you'd replace Daxter with a fairy that won't shut up.

HOOLY BOOLY posted:So basically how Jak and Daxter did it in their first game? Although in Link's case you'd replace Daxter with a fairy that won't shut up. My favourite line from that game was Sage: "Let me guess... you went to the Misty Isle that I expressly forbid you to go to, got into trouble and Daxter finally ended up taking a long needed bath... albeit in a pool of Dark Eco, that resulted in this ridiculous form I see before me?" Daxter: "Are you gonna keep yappin' or are you gonna help me out here?!" Sage: "I'M GONNA KEEP YAPPIN'! Quite frankly, the new form is an improvement!" Also I never minded the twist in the third game that Daxter had turned into a precursor because I thought that that was where it was going since the beginning. It just seemed to make sense.

SCA Enthusiast posted:The thing that bothers me most about the mad about Zelda guy is that he has his name spelled Mårc for some bizarre reason. Probably because he thinks he's some kind of special snowflake but it just makes me pronounce it Morc in my head which sounds idiotic. This is how I feel about names with Greek characters (and Cyrillic, but I don't know any of those languages) substituted for Englsh ones. ροω is pronounced "ro-o", not "pow".

 Those 'role models' are so opposite to the "I need a man to complete me" stereotype he thinks women should be it's almost wrapped around to satire. You should post this on his Peaches link https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F0Yq5pchCqM If that's not "too empowered or overbearingly intense" for a Nice Guy, I wonder what is.
