  1. Yes and no...Nerds are the most amazing and productive people alive...The problem is that nobody has found out of way to direct the power of the nerds to a sufficient level for us to get an advanced society like that... Instead, we have nerds doing shit like building a working 16 bit computer in mine craft....If we could some how harness our productivity, we could take over the world.... The world run by nerds would be better than the world run by jocks that we have today. Edit: I once read a sci fi book series called "The Lost Fleet".....The writer was not so good with writing dialogue and character building, but he was brilliant at making star battles and his "aliens" were the most inventive i have heard about. He made me think just how different aliens could be. The first alien species that they meet is characterized as being wildly obsessed with only one thing....Not being noticed. They will explode their own ships long before enemies get into reach to make sure there is not chance that they can find out anything about them. So maybe we are just being really arrogant in assuming that an alien race would even have an interest in us.
  2. Donations are fine. Salary is unacceptable. You are volunteering your services as a modder. I have volunteered my time as a modder on a minor game, and the thanks of the community was enough.
  3. My theory has always been that they used to observe us, but gave up hope long ago....
  4. Being a part of the illuminati must be the worst job ever. Those fuckers must be busy.
  5. Its all about the spin.. "High End computer with traditional start up times"? Maybe:p I really don't know. I don't get how anybody can live without SSDs. Its like going back to 56k modems.
  6. Well, thats gigabytes fault. It says 3X because they have 3 fans. The card is called GTX 970 WindForce 3X OC
  7. Not very consistent I know....It just makes no sense. I have meet people who bought a 9590, only due to brand loyalty....but then getting a 970 just makes it even more confusing. Any special reason why? video editing?
  8. Buying a 9590 means that you have gone from being an AMD fan to being an AMD fundamentalist. What the fuck is he thinking with that price.
  9. Kinda sad, but a party is a party apparantly! Good luck with the game btw
  10. Typical! This is why I advise against families. They are just disease carriers waiting to tear you down!!!
  11. A very nice playoffs so far. The caps and the islanders have had a great series, and I had a lot of fun watching Anaheim vs. Winnipeg. Look on the bright side. If the canucks lose, Denmark has a chance to get "Honeybadger" Hansen back home for the World Championships! Was it Montreal who rioted after winning? Was some canadian city.-
  12. I meant that if you had not seen a doctor yet...could be something different than just a coldl. Sometimes you need to do something different to feel better. If you aren't even willing to drink tea, I doubt we can help:p
  13. See a doctor? I suggest drinking a lot, eat some fruits, and get plenty of rest. Edit: And camomile tea! Can't believe I forgot that. Does amazing things. Many people dislike the taste however.
  14. 1. Nobody can take that argument seriously. I do not have to do mass surveillance of everybody to have an opinion about who gets discriminated against more. 2. I never mentioned slavery. America has no fault in slavery...That was all us..... I said race "RELATIONS". Sure, you are allowed to complain..And im very much allowed to disagree with you. What you have described is not discrimination. Black history month isn't about how awesome black peoples history is.....Its about having a focus on a specific part of history that is important....Black pride parades isn't about how its better to be black than white...Black Pride was about finally speaking up for your rights.... Black pride parades...You mean civil rights parades? White Pride is about how you are SUPERIOR to other races... ITs the same old conservative complains as always..."When I was a child, you could make a racist joke and nobody dared say shit". You think discrimination is the right for you not to be questioned over your opinion.. If you want a white pride parade....You can have one! Nobody will show up and nobody will care, but you will be allowed to have one just as any other person. See...thats the problem with your perspective....This has never ever been about which race is better....we are ALL humans. Nobody is claiming superiority.... I can't believe you just wrote that. You are completely obsessed with race. Everything you wrote is based on several simple falsehoods. 1. I never said I would laugh at any discrimination. I was laughing at the suggestion that white people get discriminated against more than minority populations.... 2. I never claimed that white people dont face racism or discrimination....I just said that you face less. I fail to see what Anita Sarkeesian has to do with this at all....I don't believe Ive ever read anything that person have written that I agreed with... How is any of that shit related to this?
  15. ;-) Ofcourse;-) I could have included several other multicultural countries like UK, France and Netherlands to be fair but none of those countries have quite the same history of race relations that the US does...... No, your guess is wrong. my argument is that you are facing far less discrimination than minorities do, while you are portraying yourself like you are being persecuted. You aren't.- There is no excuse for any kind of racism or discrimination...But you seem to be claiming that white people are facing more discrimination and racism than minorities,....Is that interpretation correct? It seems to me that europeans have a lot more knowledge about the US than americans have about the rest of the world...No matter their political orientations. And I really don't need the entire life story of every american to make some observations...
  16. No they are not defending the woman....Honestly, most of the people in this thread have barely mentioned her. All I see is a bunch of people complaining that there are too many accusations about being racist, or that the word is used too much. That quickly devolved into another round of "PC lefties bla bla bla". This has nothing to do with the lady who defended the muslim couple, nor the stupid writer of this piece who clearly is lacking in common sense...... You can be racist towards white people.. ...Never claimed otherwise and the person writing this article is an idiot as everybody is already aware....I will even say that racist attitudes towards white people probably just as common as racist attitudes towards other races, but discrimination certaintly isn't! And white people complaining about all the terrible discrimination against them is hilarious...Especially coming from our american posters.
  17. Exactly...Which is why I fail to understand why that is not the part you and several others have focused...But more whether or not the word racist is the correct word to use.
  18. And thats just one of the aspects...Im white, and im very aware of the obvious advantages that gives. But to some whites here, we are apparantly the real victims :rolleyes: Great to see you focus your energy on the heart of the matter here....Whether or not racist is the correct word used.... Just imagine that he used the word Bigotry, and find a different way of justifying this crap. What is your point? That you should not help other races because one fucking journalist in a newspaper will write some stupid shit?
  19. I always hated that argument. Guess what...If you want to solve a problem, you do need to be able to observe where the problem is worst and try to fix that..... Guess what...There is FAAAAAAAAAR less discrimination of white males than there are of women, or minorities or etc etc....I agree with most of what you have said, but that argument is just lazy.. "Mommy....Tommy is bullying me!" "Well, Timmy, im opposed to bullying in general, so lets work for for a society with less bullying".... "Im fine with that mommy, but why don't we start with Tommy then..." "No, lets work to make sure everybody stops bullying everybody....We can't single out timmy here" It will be impossible to "eliminate double standards and create social and economic equality for everyone" without actually working on the areas where there are the biggest problems... I disagree with most of the crap that Anita Sarkeesian, and I think its mostly just been a career for her. But everytime we have this discussion, people justify all kinds of bigotry because "Look....The feminist there is crazy" That is however what most men seem to want from women in this debate.
  20. Yeah, we whites have it ohhh so bad....God, how deluded do you have to be to write such tripe? Read a fucking history book. So you suggest that discrimination is fine because muslim isn't a race so they deserve no protection? I really don't get why all of you are focusing so much energy on telling us that this isn't racism...Like it would sokmehow be okay to treat them like shit, because they are just muslims so who cares....
  21. No but I like to have several options. I have digitalised some old tv show's too which is also iconed. I have made a pretty big archive.
  22. You will get addicted. I have more than 5000 icons saved.
