Yes, because treating both genders with equal respect is ~just a fad~. It's not like it's common and basic decency or anything.

I have to ask, how is this news? Like, it is interesting that they found a conventional way to acheive this effect, but since, like, the early 1980s at the latest, EMP has been a thing. You can generate nation-wide, even continent-wide with a nuclear airburst at a super-high altitude, and it is...

Precisely. It's not like this doesn't have precedent. I'm willing to bet that at least 25% of the people in this thread own an iphone. That iphone is filled to the brim with patented technologies and designs, as Samsung recently found out. Now, does the fact that someone owns an iphone give them...

I had mentioned that in an earlier post. Right now I was just differentiating between a civil suit brought by consumers and a civil suit brought by a government agency. In any case, while class action suits don't exist in germany, wouldn't it be possible for german users of steam to...

Nnno. The new TOS say consumers can't bring class action lawsuits. A class action lawsuit is a suit wherein multiple individuals bring a collective complaint against a defendant. They pool their resources to hire attorneys, lend weight to their case and split the payoff between them. This...

Kardalis' post is a good post. EULAs are not private law. For the same reason as you can't sell yourself into slavery, companies can't put anything they want into a EULA: The law legally limits the kind of contracts its subjects can enter into. Or, rather, the kinds of contracts that are...

My interest in the medieval period is not nearly as pronounced as my interst in the 20th century. Though in hindsight it does seem like a lot of my ideas weren't really usable within the context of the game. Sorry for spamming you with that stuff, I guess. : P Though talking about it was...

Ooh, hey, Octorok LP. So following this. Pity about the HOI3, but it was fun while it lasted. And it actually got me into the game! Currently conquering the world as comintern poland. Fun! I probably won't have quite as much to say about this one (though I make no promises), but this looks...

Man, this is bullshit. European law is positive law. That, admittedly means that law is abstract from the moral backdrop of society. However, the fact that it's abstract does not mean it's wholly seperate. The basic precepts of morality must always be expressed within law. By condoning Turing's...

This guy's in the clear. He got punched in the head and had good reason to believe worse would happen. Stabbing him repeatedly went beyond his immediate need for self-defense, but that is acceptable in situations of great fear or confusion. The fact that he thought to bring the knife and...

Yessssss update! Very nice. Mopping up and all. Your plan so far seems pretty good. My advice to take out china would be to try to go naval on their asses as well, if you can. Many of their major cities should be on the coast, if you can land enough forces, maybe you can force a quick surrender...

Yay, thanks for the feedback! Visiting family right now, but I'll finish up part 2 when I get a spare minute or 90. And for those interested, hearts of iron is available on steam for something like 60% off right now. Bought the complete pack for 12 Euro. Man, Paradox entertainment should...

Spoilered for word count. This one doesn't include much action, but that will follow soon enough! Consider this the calm before the storm. Enjoy! Octorok, so how're you gonna take on the americans?

Ahahahayesssssss. Very nice. Bit risky at the end, there! Armeegruppe Süd could really have taken a beating, particularly since they failed to link up with the forces in Turkey. And if the Soviets hadn't surrendered in such a timely fashion, your forces woulda been all over the place. But oh...

That hat would go great with my "Cannibal Santa" halloween costume.
