I've never seen this before. Jesus Christ I'm in tears. I'm shaking with rage. How loving dare anyone create a system that does this, how dare anyone vote for people who think this is an acceptable cost.

Pistol_Pete posted:Nick Cohen: "Perhaps the clever thing to do is just give up on politics" Perhaps we would all indeed be better off if takes this hot were kept from public consumption. JFairfax posted:loving hell man sort it out, live music is amazing. OwlFancier is far too moderate on this topic. Live music is absolutely loving shite. I cannot understand why concerts are even a thing. You're in a hot venue surrounded by countless other people. That's bad enough to make them truly hellish to begin with, but not only that, the music itself is inferior, with imperfections and interfering other sounds and speakers not tuned properly and mic feedback and people not knowing how to use a mic or singing while out of breath or whatever, you have no control over what songs they actually play, you can't change what's being played if your mood changes, you probably have to listen to some talentless wasters opening for whoever you're actually there to see, you've got listen to stupid platitudes about "Wow it's so great to be here in [Town]!" and "Are we having a good time?" and "this next song is bla bla bla" just get loving on with it, and not only can nobody dance but you are expected to as well, despite not enjoying it and not being any good at it. And people voluntarily pay and travel to and from places to do all this, it's mental.

Jippa posted:I want to know how some of you goons got to this place? Is it just crippling social anxiety? I would say live music events are way better than loads of other social situations for this. I do have crippling social anxiety but I've always hated live music. Kid, teenager, young adult, all before my anxiety got real bad, always hated every show I went to/was dragged to. I got to this place because I have my head on right. forkboy84 posted:Man, some of the best bands I've ever seen have been support groups. And if you don't care about the support band then gently caress it, turn up a bit later. Nobody is forcing you to be in the queue before doors open. And nobody expects you to dance, just don't go down the front. Find your ideal spot. When I was younger I'd like to be right down the front, now I prefer to hang in the back half of the venue (assuming it's a smaller one, which it probably is with who I'd go to see live, it's almost all metal shows) so I can be a bit away from the moshpit and have easy access to the bar. Also, "music is inferior with imperfections" oh wow that's bad. That is some bad opinion. And getting mad about the stage patter? Sake, it in total amounts to about 5 minutes over a 90 minute show. Your time ain't that precious and it's just filling up what would otherwise be awkward silence. You can't just jump immediately from Song A to Song B. Yes. This is all my point. The fact that live shows by their nature mean these things are inevitable or impossible is what I said to begin with, and is the very reason live shows are poo poo. If I'm on Spotify then it can jump from Song A to Song B, for example, so why the gently caress would I want a situation that can't?

big scary monsters posted:I think Mr Adequate makes some good points. It's like, why would I go to the pub when it's cheaper to buy a couple six packs and drink them in a darkened room at home? Don't have to queue that way and no danger of some pissed up geezer trying to tell you how he feels about immigrants when you go for a slash (as long as you stay away from the bathroom mirror). Thank you for understanding.

I_Socom posted:Mr Adequate - what music do you actually like? It might be that it's just more conducive to being listened to recorded, rather than live. OFC gigs aren't necessarily for everyone, but I don't think I've seen anyone have a bad time at a gig. I'm not super picky, most of what I listen to is synthwave and electro-pop, but I wouldn't pretend I don't sometimes listen to Lady Gaga, Lana Del Rey, or Carly Rae Jepson. And I loving love CHVRCHES and Bastille too. (The first show I would have seriously considered going to since before the Age of Pigfucker was when my fiancee went to see Bastille a month or two ago, but alas I'm thousands of miles away so the point was moot.) I will say that I'm probably too quick to rule out live music at like, a jazz club or in a sit-down concert hall or just some local folks playing trad music in the pub, insofar as I wouldn't want to go see those but I can at least comprehend some aspect of the appeal. Your typical gig is utterly and deeply baffling to me though.

I agree, All Cats Are Beautiful goddamnedtwisto posted:e: Actually wasn't there a book or maybe a film with more or less that as an ending? The Americans accidentally nuke Moscow so they let the Soviets nuke New York? Also happens in The Third World War by General Sir John Hackett, where the west nukes Kiev (I think) and in return allows the Soviets to nuke Brum without escalation beyond that. The fact that this kind of thing is seen as a rational and reasonable exchange tells you much of what you need to know about nuclear policy.

Tigey posted:Its the other way around I think - the war starts going badly for the Soviets, who decide to nuke Birmingham as a show of force, and the West retaliates by nuking Minsk. It leads to an end to the war as both sides are unwilling to escalate You may well be right about that! e; Suspected it was Minsk if it wasn't Kiev, too, but checking these things is

ShaneMacGowansTeeth posted:The only good nukes are the ones you drop on France, or maybe India, in Civ 4 I may have related this anecdote before, but one of my fondest Civ 4 memories (And I have a lot) is carpet-nuking Isabella. Crazy zealot had given me grief all game long so she got her just desserts. Let me be clear (:torysay:) that by 'carpet-nuking' I don't mean I spammed a lot of nukes at her, or that I simply nuked every city she had, or something else so underwhelming. No, I built over 130 nukes and launched one in a single turn at every tile she owned. I had a few spare so Madrid got hit like seven times.

Miftan posted:And was this possible because she didn't have any nukes? Nukes, hell, I'm pretty sure she didn't have any internal combustion engines. e; but it's not like I care about getting nuked, I've launched nukes at my own cities when I've run out of enemy targets some games.

Broken Cog posted:Civ4 Beyond the Sword is probably the best the series ever got. If you have to pick up one of them, that's what I'd recommend. It's this. VI is pretty good, better than V ever got, but the real good poo poo is IV and SMAC. They're the greatest the 4X genre has ever been. On more current topics, lmao at Jezza having nearly as much influence over govt. policy as he would actually being in No. 10.

communism bitch posted:Put big solar panels in orbit. Massive gigantic wafer thin sail designs, and then send the power back to earth in huge devastating beam of heat and light to be captured by some doohicky and just hope it never gets misaligned. I see you, too, are a cultured gentleman who played SimCity 2000. Also, that graph of solar power looks completely normal if you subscribe to Kurzweil's theories of technological advancement.

Kokoro Wish posted:If this were actually true then Hillary would have won. It's more likely they came out to vote for something, like a manifesto pledges, a leader that spoke to them or sovreignty. Arguably that doesn't mean Jedit is wrong though; perhaps the new engagement he suggests is due to seeing what happens when you fanny around and let Trump win.
