    Will humanity lose its technology or will we achieve a Star Trek style future?

    Ohhh, I see I'm a bit late to this thread, but I would like, if I may, to present my personal point of view: We are getting fucked sideways, from every direction possible. First off, you'll note there has been no major successes in pursuit of global nuclear disarmament, while (obviously...

    Cyberpunk playable from beginning to end already, according to CDP Red

    link [https://www.engadget.com/2018/08/23/cyberpunk-2077-daylight-interview/?guccounter=1] Just dug it up on Reddit, apparently they're still missing assets and there's QA to be done, but the game is more or less playable.

    Strange food habits

    I'm sorry, I'm actually quite serious. I guess it does come off as a bit of a contradiction, but the truth is I'm aware people put weird stuff into hotdogs, but between the mincing, the flavouring and whatnot, I don't feel that weird stuff in my mouth, I don't have it crumble between my teeth...

    Strange food habits

    Food habits are weird in general. Monks and nuns are not supposed to be delicious. Seriously though? I guess it's less what I eat than when I eat it - I generally eat when the fancy strikes me (so long as it's not too late), so I'll often skip breakfast and I don't keep regular eating...

    Reading this will contribute to annihilation of our universe, if I'm right.

    Eh, heat death of the universe is only its "destruction", in the sense that it would become unlivable (and thus useless) from our perspective, at least it wouldn't stop existing whatsoever. A couple very good points! Let me answer in order: As above, heat death of the universe is a manner of...

    Just making sure, jeopardizing existence is not against CoC, right?

    What should have been done about WW?

    I think you have a somewhat narrow view of anime. I consider myself a weeb, I love the stuff... even though the things you've mentioned tick me off (except for some waifus maybe). Those are also not the only issues with anime, sexism is rampant in general - the moe archetype in particular is...

    A Possible Measure for the WW

    I appreciate the sentiment, but I feel like I'm mostly popping up on these forums out of habit than as a result of any particular need or curiosity, so I'm not really keen on joining a new forum right now TBH. Besides, wherever you're recruiting, you'll only get some of the users in that...

    In Regards to Wild West

    Problem here would be, "attack on someone" can be interpreted in a variety of ways - some people will consider being confronted about their beliefs in any way whatsoever to be a personal attack, some will take legit bashing and shrug it off as a joke or horseplay. I'm down with rule #4 being...

    In Regards to Wild West

    I agree on the CoC rules being too vague. The issue, however, has been summed up by Jojo in a different thread: Granted, this technical limitation might get resolved soon if the rumour about the site being bought out by the Enthusiast Network checks out (I don't recall Menashe confirming...

    What should have been done about WW?

    Thanks to everyone for their insights, I hope we can make this into a valuable example of constructive feedback. As I wrote in the spoilered part, I have no delusions about bringing WW back. In fact, while I'll miss it, I can see how trying to make it workable would take notably more effort...

    What should have been done about WW?

    Wild West is gone, for good. Stated issue at hand is: Lawless nature of the Wild West subforum creates a safe haven for harassment. That's not cool and even if some of the folks this harassment is directed against claim they don't mind, it's unacceptable both in principle and because it...

    In Regards to Wild West

    Yeah, some of the warnings I've seen (like the one Ewok got for the "short bus" comment in this very thread, and the one that went to LostGryphon over a joke) were obviously excessive IMOThis is not an attempt at backseat moderation - I am not stating that the mods should all share my values and...

    In Regards to Wild West

    At the risk of being branded a nitpicker, I believe WW was specifically exempt [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/forums/read/706.1023033-CoC-Does-Not-Apply-in-the-WW-please-read-these-special-rules-before-posting] from the CoC, so the aggressive posts there didn't violate forum rules. There is of...

    Is Putin building modern liberal democracy in Russia?

    Not sure if this belongs here or in R&P, so I'll just leave it here since it's not entirely serious. So, I had this idea a while back: Putin is, apparently, a well-educated, ruthless ruler. Yet, at the same time, some of his policies, such as the invasion of Ukraine, (alleged) meddling in...
