The origin is completely irrelevant, to be honest. A word is given meaning by those who use it, and therefore is prone to change over time as new generations come and give them a new meaning.

Moral relativity is an interesting philosophical idea, but far too many people view it as _the_ most valid philosophical position to hold, rather than as a demonstration of flaws in our reasoning and logic that should be overcome.

Some people believe their enjoyment of a game supersedes the enjoyment of everyone else, quite simply.

Cybernetically-enhanced cultists. Or just wrap them in power armour.

At least here in Finland, it is blatantly illegal for a person who otherwise has the right to confiscate your phone temporarily to go through any of your personal data. One corporal in my unit nearly got done in for doing exactly that when he confiscated someone's phone and started going through...

Voted in the last 2 parliamentary elections and the presidential election here in Finland. Probably helped that there were quite a few at least decent choices (except for the Perussuomalaiset, god no)

I generally just say dumb things and, if I drank too much, vomit over someone/something. Unless I shagged a goat and can't remember, i'unno.

Absolutely ridiculous. Valve seems to live in some fantasy world where people don't lie. Imagine, if you will, that you're doing really well in a TF2 match. People get butthurt, and rate you down for it. Thus, you have to pay more because of pricks and morons. How Gabe ever even conceived of...

It wasn't a serious suggestion as to their method, silly, but ridiculing the whole idea of these end time prophecies that appear every time the old date is proven wrong. In Christianity, there's been 2000 years of "The Second Coming is just around the corner on ___________!" "Whoops, guess I was...

How the hell do they keep on coming up with these dates? Throwing darts at a calender? I thought people would've gotten over this shit by the 19th century, especially after every single other such end of the world prediction based on the Bible has been shown to be a load of steaming shit.

Few little quibbles I have with this bit; 1: the death rate from gender reassignment surgery is no more than that from any other form of cosmetic surgery i.e. small enough to be statistically irrelevant. 2: They are put under anaesthesia before getting their bits snipped; y'know? It's not like...

Railguns for offence and long-range defence (AA, ABM and such), lasers for CIWS. For a laser to do the same amount of damage as a railgun requires obscene amounts of power, generates massive amounts of heat, and loses a lot of it's energy at distance due to diffraction. It also cannot hit...

My dad's a strategy gamer (Hearts of Iron kind of thing). Mum hasn't touched video games.

Either run in front of a train or wank myself into a coma.

Apparently i'm a mellow drunk, and a bit more giggly.
