3 is fun if you can ignore the game's less-than-subtle theme that you the player are a callous bastard for enjoying the game.

2 is the same thing but it really just makes you be the worst person ever. A worst-person shooter.

Seriously, you want to ambush a group of dudes guarding a spot? Shoot one of them in the gut. He'll fall down in pain and his buddies will run over so you can pick them off too. Or just burn the grasses around them and watch the ring of fire slowly close in. There's a part where you run upstairs when attacking a house and stop the enemy radioman from calling back to base that you're attacking them. He promises not to say anything if you promise not to shoot him. What do 90% of players do after he stops broadcasting? Shoot him anyway! He keeps his end of the bargain even if you don't kill him.

Why would you leave something small enough to steal and worth thousands of pounds overnight in a canvas-covered truck? Seems pretty easy to break in to.

I have a feeling it's like with Judaism where there are protocols of increasing complexity depending on how serious/orthodox you are.

Like putting up a mezuzah; you put it up on the right side of your doorway, tilted slightly. And maybe also on every doorway. Including maybe the inside ones. Also maybe on everything that you walk or pass through, such as your car. Maybe. Otherwise just the front door is probably fine.

Obviously there's nothing that can be done about any of the ride restraints (those are safety features, not comfort features, and can't just be adjusted), but I think you need to visit a doctor before you visit a theme park if you require two spaces on a bench seat like Kong has.

It wasn't a safety thing, allegedly they just wanted to get as many people on that ride as possible. "Push for capacity."

Ok, but that's still not a safety thing. I guess they have to measure which is worse publicity, the line taking slightly longer or that one customer getting very upset.

She wasn't complaining about the rest, she was complaining about it in that case because it was simply for wanting to get more people on the ride. She acknowledged having to hold bags for all of the Harry Potter rides, but the one that pissed her off was Kong.

This but Heinlein novels with characters who have sex with their starships or found hippy communes where everyone has orgies and telekinetic powers.

See, with Asimov it would be someone with autism traveling around space meeting those characters, and then also explaining why it's okay to someone else.

It’s how journalists use commas.

A headline on the Chicago Tribune’s home page right now:


<subject> did one thing, did other thing


It’s the same format as the blackbelt headline.

You're taking it like the newspaper is saying that the kid did one thing (get paralyzed), and then did another (earns a black belt). The intention is to say that the kid, who was paralyzed after having a tumor, later earned a black belt. The difference is subtle, but the latter strikes the tone of "despite being paralyzed this kid earned a black belt" whereas your version gives the impression that those things are both achievements. Also "by" instead of "after" implies causation.

I busted a guy looking at CP when I was working at an Internet Cafe in the early 2000s. I went upstairs to get his dishes and he'd gone to the bathroom and left it open on his screen. You can't unsee these things. I called the cops, they showed up in about 30 seconds (HQ was across the street) and caught the guy red handed.

The next day I got fired for "letting the police steal the computer" and I should "have just asked him to leave".

Have you posted about that before? I definitely remember hearing that story.

Contrast it with "theft by swindle" where the thief convinces the victim to give the thief something willingly, under false pretenses.

I'm sure there's a bunch of other "theft by ____" out there too, which lets the punishment be different depending on how something was stolen.

I've heard it referred to as "theft by deception." This was taking something off the shelf at a store and trying to return it.

Creationism is pretty explicitly the latter. Like at Catholic school in the 90s we were told that creationism wasn't supported by the Bible and to not identify as creationists.

I think that's "creationism" as shorthand for "young earth creationism."

The whole "fallen angel" conception of Lucifer is mostly extrabiblical. The only time the word appears in the Bible is when the author of Isaiah is talking poo poo about the King of Babylon. It comes mostly from medieval readings of Revelation that only persist today in crazyass fundamentalist circles. That is to say the idea of Lucifer as a fallen angel is about as biblical as the Rapture.

I think some versions also have that word used to describe Christ in Revelation. Lucifer means light bringer, that's it. Sometimes it's used to talk about someone being fancy and special, sometimes it means the planet Venus. I don't think it's ever used as a proper noun in the bible.
