Gyro Zeppeli posted:I think a crime was committed upon you. Not sure if I'm in  territory, but there was a chiropractor who claimed that part of his "adjustment" series was a "internal coccyx adjustment", which was basically him putting his finger in the patient's butt. Someone sued over it. Can't find the case, just a bunch of results from chiropractors saying it's a Totally Real Thing You Guys.

Doctors put fingers in butts all the time. There's doctors that do nothing but butt stuff. And yet simply because a chiropractor does a totally 100% real and necessary butthole adjustment, they get jumped on because they actually help and cure people instead of just feeding Big Pharma companies that make money by keeping you sick. Wake up idiots. Your butts need the healing touch of a trained professional. Get your poo poo inline.

Tiggum opinions aren't something I could explain in words, but I know them when I see them. Several times I scroll to a post and read it without looking at the username and think "this is definitely Tiggum posting". My posts are bad too so I'm not judging, just pointing out that I also find tiggumpinions distinctive. Anyway I don't really understand why people find bone cracking/popping pleasant. I had a friend who would make people walk on his back to make it pop and the whole time I was thinking he was nuts. Even if the chance of paralysis is very low, the fact that there is one at all would make me avoid it even if it does feel good.

The average GP administers one pro rectal exam a day, and I take great joy in reminding med students of this. (The other exams are strictly amateur)

People who dismiss conspiracy theories because "it's impossible to keep something that big a secret" are as delusional as the people who think fluoride is a mind control chemical.

It depends on the conspiracy theory but I'd agree with this. It's one of the weakest arguments against why a conspiracy theory is false - there are usually plenty of other things pointing toward it being bullshit (example: flat earth theory). People will definitely keep secrets if there is incentive to do so. Like if I were working on aliens or something I wouldn't race to the press or wikileaks, I'd just keep my mouth shut and keep my awesome job. Even if I lost it there would probably be enough legal consequences to make me keep quiet too, plus it's not like anyone will believe me.

Even massive conspiracies (as far as we know) are never as massive as the ones propounded by conspiracy theorists. I mean CIA killed JFK? Completely plausible and a pretty massive cover-up if true. CIA killed JFK and also CIA is a front for Zionist reptilians who built the pyramids? Too massive for me *eats soy, drinks pure fluoride* e: I didn't mean to sound like we know there was a CIA conspiracy to off JFK. But there have been some pretty big ones.

No conspiracy is so massive it couldn't be hidden. If for instance we are all a dream Azathoth dreamt, there is no way to prove it. No politician is too vile if he is an avatar of the lizard god controlling all our minds with his evil claw, because the claw would prevent a significant mass of doubt from forming.

A mutual agreement to suppress our real desires and act in accordance to what the communality desires of us. Whether your are showing up for work on time even tho you wanna sleep, or smiling at a cashier when you don't really wanna, or refraining from tattooing a pentagram on your face, you are holding up human society as we know it with each denied harmful urge.

Deus Ex: Invisible War is a really good game. Human Revolution is better in most ways, but that's to be expected given the eight years between them - and unlike a lot of older games Invisible War is still really fun to play. It's definitely got some problems, but they really don't have that much impact. It even has some advantages over Human Revolution:

I've always felt that Invisible War came out a little too early. A year or so later, a little bit more mainstreaming of gaming as a whole, and maybe a bunch of folks kvetching about a more accessible Deus Ex get mocked instead of respected. I think we were talking about this in the Dragging Down thread; there's parts of the original Deus Ex that did not age very well (JC Denton, police officer, has the shakes holding a pistol unless you beelined to it), and half the rough edges are things the sequel fixed.

Another year might have let them finish duct-taping the engine together too. It'd have also been in direct competition with Half-Life 2.

What's so inaccessible about the first Deus Ex, it's a game where you walk around corridors shooting at people. All the RPG elements are pretty tame. From what I remember, Invisible War was more opaque because it dumped you into a hub with little notion of what to do.

Autotuned music is undeniable proof that the "artist" is a talentless hack and its use should be outlawed under consumer protection laws since it's essentially defrauding the listener.

Collateral Damage posted:Autotuned music is undeniable proof that the "artist" is a talentless hack and its use should be outlawed under consumer protection laws since it's essentially defrauding the listener. It's not like it's easily hidden unless done in extremely small doses where it doesn't actually matter. Like if you go to a t-pain concert, I'm pretty sure you know you are going to hear a shitload of autotune. It would only be defrauding the customer if it weren't obvious when it's being done in excess. Anyway whether someone has "true" talent or not isn't very relevant. The people who over-use autotune might not be good technical musicians, but they (and/or their managers) are clearly good business people and know what people will buy. In a perfect world only the best technical musicians would be successful, but it turns out that's not what most people want to hear (or they just don't care).

Believe it or not, internet forums user, not everyone who likes popular mainstream music is an idiot. "The sheeple" know what autotune is, what it does, what its benefits are, how it enhances the performance of the artists they like, and what it sounds like. These same people, in great numbers, are still able to enjoy music that uses autotune and support the artists that use it.
