My friend is pretty smart and he left France to work in the US a while ago. He's pretty pissed at the election though, and afraid especially since his wife is black. He's seriously considering moving back to France.

You should get all the stats you need in the upcoming years. Not sure it will make a difference though.

I went through all of these, and honestly plugging in a single cable into your laptop and having power, external display, network and input peripherals all connect instantly is pretty damn cool.

OK you guys sure seem to take your pandering really seriously, so here you go: I'm sorry, this scene is peak writing and a major step for inclusivity. EA is a true champion of the LGBT community, and certainly not a bunch of soulless businessmen driven by profits and focus groups.

Only a Sith deals in absolutes.

I'm not bothered at all lol, I would have already forgotten about it if you weren't so bothered yourself :) But yeah, IMO it would have been better if they had used a less "modern" word. You did notice that fantasy characters usually don't speak like they're from the 21st century, right?

Did you read the article? I found it pretty convincing, as an example "non-binary" is not a word I expect to be said in a fantasy setting. The author also mentions a fantasy book where it's done much more naturally.

If you read the article you'll see that the author takes issue not with the inclusion itself, but the hamfisted way in which it is included. Pandering can be fine, but when it's just checking boxes in a cringy, lazy way it's not, and worse it becomes fodder for the gamergate type to rage about.

Yeah, and that's sad and dumb as fuck.

Hell, if I knew however much money I spent, someone would always foot the bill if I ran out, I too would spend like no tomorrow in order to get more money for free. It's plain logic.

  • Why did $manager hire two more people? We don't need them, half the team has no idea what they're doing here and are just fucking around all day already.

  • Yeah but he still has some budget left, and if he doesn't spend it all next year he'll get less, and we can't have that.

Bible literalists also believe that a huge war in Israel is a prerequisite to the second coming of Christ AKA the end times.

It was like 20 years ago, but their sidewinder brand was pretty great, as was the intellimouse.
