There's already visual tweaks mods out there to do exactly what's being mentioned here.
Of course if they bury gender labels as a feature they'll be banned from Nexus within minutes, so don't rely on them but...

I decided to play an archer which I’ve never done
Amazing you didn't do a stealth archer like literally every other human. These games poisoned me into picking this archetype in almost EVERY videogame RPG, and most tabletop ones. It's sick, actually.

I'd agree cooperation is much easier. But that's thanks to technology and many other trappings of modernism, not Christianity.
In any case I'm being baited into theological/historical (?!?) arguments when my entire point was that LEGALLY I don't jive with the idea of only religious objections being allowed to contest curriculum components like puppy BDSM for toddlers.

My exact conclusion. Come on, you've got these files right next to each other with close enough names to fuck this up? It stretches the limits of credibility.
Does MTA get to use this as evidence now? Yeesh.

It's impossible to call it wrong without reference to a higher authority.
No, I don't agree with this in the slightest. Cooperation is useful. Having a happy wife who helps maintain my life is objectively superior to a sex slave chained in my basement.

I think this board's religious makeup is coming out a bit here. I'll give christianity partial credit, because, of course, I'm very sure it wasn't paganism or Islam.
But I utterly refuse to concede that my parental instinct is 100% ascribable to a system of belief I've never been part of, or to a god that doesn't exist.

I think that misses the point. Historically, Christianity may have helped suggest we stop grooming and fucking kids, but the state requiring you to cite a religious reason for not wanting to do so now seems like an anti-pattern. I shouldn't need to go to church to defer my kid's sexual awakening until they have a meaningful boner.

I suspect it's unaddressed because it's an incredibly minor problem.
Really? What major were you? Because having an utterly worthless TA for 90% of my math and programming courses was brutal. The few that did have a native American TA were lightyears different.
I am a China Hawk, and I think it is absolutely braindead not to siphon off every bit of human capital
Really? The number of Chinese students we retain is awful (under 50%, sources are all wildly different) and has been dropping continuously since 2004. We're not siphoning human capital at all! We're building it up in exchange for full-tuition cash and cheap bodies to fill TA positions!

An acquaintance put together a microsite for writing 100-word stories. The account creation is bugged (the modal doesn't close when you do, nor is there email confirmation) but I'm gonna be doing it every once in a while: https://hectalex.com/

Nobody's storing their data rigorously enough to have a compelling product. The first generation of kids who are going to be able to digitally replicated were born in 2018, with auto-populating albums of videos and photos in cloud services. The adults aren't recording enough of their real thoughts and opinions.
Maybe me going through a couple days of interviews with an AI from my deathbed will be enough? But it'll be a pretty shallow copy.

Whenever I meet young adult Catholics I have a great time. They're polite, open-minded, and not infected with the WMV like almost every other denomination. The older folks are often really tough to get along with.

State of the Art was pretty awful and threw me off bigly. The only story I liked was about that suit from the crash-landed guy.
If I were telling anyone else new to the series how to read it, I would say "skip it".
I do think it's a bit "overrated" as far as sci-fi goes. None of the books is going to change your life like some other 5/5 sci-fi, especially not the back half of the series. However, re-looking at the synopses for Matter/Surface Detail/Inversions/Look to Windward, I will say you still have some exciting books left. Hydrogen Sonata was a bit weaker, but still worth reading to complete things.
All that said, none of them are set primarily in the culture. If that's what kept you hooked, then be warned.

Shit, that actually sounds awesome. The awkward conversations that are sometimes a risk with loved ones when they're alive can be undertaken with a "rewind" button?
I'm sure a family could agree to have a merged copy of grandma. Something we should start specifying in our wills.
Don't get me wrong, I can absolutely see how this would potentially be awful, but being able to talk with your ancestors has been a strong human desire for a long time. It'll be cool right up until they lobotomize my model for problematic language 20 years after I pass.

I've always thought this. Should be the same all over the world, if I'm king of it.
This country self-fetishizes enough that we may single-handedly resurrect the textile industry.

I know it's a separate thing from what you're talking about, but you're a normal looking guy. Maybe a little crazy eyes? ;)
One thing I love about online ad-hominems is that they're just... inaccurate. Someone is stabbing completely blindly. Even here, my most controversial post basically had multiple users calling me a horrible person. It's Riddikulus. I know a lot about myself, and have compiled enough secondary evidence to support both the good and the bad. Just have to own the latter.
You can never eliminate the pain from a knife in the dark, but laughing at the absurdity of it all is a good protection mechanism IMO.

I finished up Incurable Graphomania. After reading harassment architecture, I'm in a minor self-published author vortex. I saw this title....somewhere? Recommended? and bought it on only the basis of that, the title, and the cover art.
The blurb on the back is accurate. It intrigued even my wife. The writing is exactly what you'd expect based on the author's name. I see the same cadences, themes, and texture in many of the posts here from those who have hail from Russia or the baltic states.
This unfortunately means that despite the variety in subject matter, the short story collection felt very similar throughout. Anna did not utilize the technique I see from other collections like this where symbols are shared, or an overriding universe. It fixates on the geographic area near Washington D.C.. I've never considered it worth it to have a deep cultural knowledge of this region, so that effectively meant nothing.
The stories are consistently good. Light horror, dry comedy, irony, sadness. One of them was admittedly so awful that after a paragraph I scanned the rest, saw that it was just a jumble of meaningless words, and moved on.
For this post, I scanned another much more fawning interview/review to reference if you're on the fence. I have not finished it (longer than some of the short stories) but I respect her and enjoyed my time reading it.
4/5?

I will always try to turn people onto Petey, who just dropped a new single Model Train Town.
It's great, but his best track (maybe?) is Freedom to Fuck Off.

Mine around 2? Pretty much after walking. They go to daycare so I don't know when they picked it up. I'm a gun nut who wanted to wait till they're older but they've started having sticks and pistols and rifles very early.

I have to thumbs up this - those who have not toasted sweet breakfast breads like the above are missing out. A muffin cut in half and then fried in butter like this is absolutely sublime.

I can tell you when I ruminated about this I wanted a person to make my interest, not a bank.
Then I realized that @Quantumfreakonomics had it right and nobody wanted to make less than the S&P 500 for 30 years, or if they did they'd buy bonds.
I also realized when someone asked for a seller's loan my very first thought was "fuck you, if you can't get a loan from a bank why would I trust you?"
I had my parents loan me part of a down payment at min interest and paid it back within 2 years. Your parents should be able to trust you enough to loan you the money and it's better for them to lever you up now than when they're dead.

Semver is one of a couple programming concepts that are widely applicable. Mostly my field is full of cutesy bullshit that prevents the art from being taken seriously (PHP? Gulp/Grunt/JavaScript in general?) but yeah, it's awesome.

Jesus Christ, BB replacement has been such a pain for me. I too had a square taper, but purchased one of the incorrect depth to start. The manufacturers don't even list what you have anymore since they use interchangable suppliers, and my budget hybrid bike had one that failed after a measley 2,500 miles which is absolutely pathetic for such a basic component.
Between the opaque nature of diagnosing it and the need for specialized tools, it's the bike repair job that gets the biggest thumbs down from me.
If you haven't checked out the park tool videos on YouTube yet for these things, do. They're awesome at least.

This is exactly my thought. Building an encrypted message chat with superior data retention and querying capabilities for real-time comms like this is... not optional?
Why are they spawning off special chats for this one operation, for instance? That alone is a security/ops hole. My org has an entire policy to ensure our real-time messaging stays meticulously organized to ensure leaders and doers aren't overwhelmed with threads, context is maintained, the whole nine yards. Yet the executive branch has to hack with something like this?
The hypocrisy of Hillary's email whining is a bit strong. But it begs the question of how exactly government officials are supposed to communicate in real time, given the inadequacy of email as a format.
You're asking to have a debate about first principles for morality. What's getting lost, IMO, is my point about the politics of religious objections being a required component to push back on horrific public school curricula.
To be direct with you, I'm just not interested in a metaphysical debate about how people determine right or wrong without god. It's obvious to me that many, many people need god to be good. So you could almost say I agree with you when we're talking about the unwashed masses.
It is not a struggle I am personally familiar with. My morality is based around what's simple, obvious, and easy to mentally maintain. That's it.
