[2017-12-22. : 2:51 am] TV3D -- erm X_X so i downloaded it but the .exe wont even execute on VISTA wtf!?@!?@[2017-12-22. : 2:03 am]  O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Suicidal InsanitySuicidal Insanity shouted: FaRTy1billion So can I, how do you think scmdraft decrypts the font data? idk. I just meant that more as an addition to what you said, not necessarily a response  [2017-12-22. : 1:52 am]  Lanthanide -- I'm thinking in really structural terms, eg since Oregon has no sales tax, people in that state are likely to respond to certain issues on taxation differently to someone who lives in New York[2017-12-22. : 1:50 am]  jjf28 -- hmm, younger me would have identified stronger with a state (on a personal level), older me has lived in 3 and is kinda over it [2017-12-22. : 1:45 am] Lanthanide -- for an office that affects the entire country, state lines are a bit anachronistic, however states do obviously have their own identities, just from their own internal laws if nothing else[2017-12-22. : 1:44 am] Lanthanide -- IIRC in a 2-party system it is possible to have an ideal voting system, but once you get to 3+ candidates it's no longer possible to be fair[2017-12-22. : 1:43 am] Lanthanide -- it's been mathematically proven that there is no voting system that can simultaneously satisfy all the traits of an ideal voting system[2017-12-22. : 1:43 am] jjf28 -- I don't think state lines mean enough anymore to make them a dividing line[2017-12-22. : 1:42 am] jjf28 -- electors I could do without, weighting votes of possibly under-represented segments of the population I'm fine in theory, but in practice how the hell does one do that fairly?[2017-12-22. : 1:41 am] Lanthanide -- only thing I can think of is that the actual purpose of the EC is no longer obeyed - a large part of why it was set up was to prevent someone unsuitable winning the popular vote, with the idea being that the electors could overrule the popular vote. clearly they failed at their job in 2016[2017-12-22. : 1:40 am] Lanthanide -- VraelVrael shouted: I wasn't joking about the electoral college though, except maybe in my tone, if we hadn't spent the last century dismantling it, we wouldn't have trump in office now. course things could be a lot worse too, I can't predict the future of alternate history timelines of course eh? in what way(s) has the electoral college been dismantled over the last century? don't you mean "if we HAD dismantled it"?[2017-12-22. : 1:36 am] Lanthanide -- also my investments in international business are via a pension fund (effectively), they deal with all the tax stuff[2017-12-22. : 1:33 am] Lanthanide -- Mini Moose 2707Mini Moose 2707 shouted: Lanthanide Lanthanide Does NZ have taxes on capital gains and dividends? there's no official capital gains tax. when capital gains are taxed, they're simply taxed as income. dividends are taxed, I believe as income as well (I've never received dividends so I don't know all the rules, company tax is 28% and my personal rate is 33% so unsure if I'd have to pay an extra 5% or how that works)[2017-12-22. : 1:32 am] Lanthanide -- VraelVrael shouted: Lanthanide also our electoral system isn't broken, it works fine, the problem is that the american public is a bunch of retards and therefore likes to elect retards into office VraelVrael shouted: the system itself is working pretty well, forcing the opposing retard camps to share power, which is what it was designed to do your electoral system is such that gerrymandering is a feature, not a bug, allowing your elected leaders to entrench their own lead and disenfranchise the voters of true power[2017-12-22. : 12:48 am] Heinermann -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: should prolly add fonts as a resource file, cut out that code, and make SCMDraft open source This is a great idea, I love this idea [2017-12-22. : 12:47 am] jjf28 -- should prolly add fonts as a resource file, cut out that code, and make SCMDraft open source [2017-12-22. : 12:42 am] Suicidal Insanity -- FaRTy1billionFaRTy1billion shouted: Suicidal Insanity if you still have an old installation I can extract the CDKey xD So can I, how do you think scmdraft decrypts the font data? [2017-12-22. : 12:31 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- idk if you'll be able to patch with an invalid key, but you can install it[2017-12-22. : 12:27 am] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- Suicidal InsanitySuicidal Insanity shouted: Can't you recover blizzard accounts if you still have the CD keys? if you still have an old installation I can extract the CDKey xD[2017-12-22. : 12:01 am] jjf28 -- if you want to be a responsible citizen/voter that is, if you don't really care/or choose to focus your time elsewhere then w/e  [2017-12-21. : 11:57 pm] jjf28 -- VraelVrael shouted: either way jjf my point was just that rather than try and eliminate all bias in your news, accept that everything is biased and once you do that you can start to understand where those biases come from and how they relate to stuff I know bias can't be eliminated entirely, but you definitely can and should maximize intake from sources that have shown relatively high objectivity and minimize (or at least balance) intake from highly partisan or factually unreliable sources[2017-12-21. : 11:44 pm] Vrael -- if you just try and find 'unbiased' news then 1). you'll search forever and 2). you're missing out on a key piece of the game[2017-12-21. : 11:44 pm] Vrael -- either way jjf my point was just that rather than try and eliminate all bias in your news, accept that everything is biased and once you do that you can start to understand where those biases come from and how they relate to stuff[2017-12-21. : 11:42 pm] jjf28 -- I'm missing a key piece, there were some excellent studies that measured the self-identified parties of mainstream medias guests lists, but I can't find it  [2017-12-21. : 11:28 pm] jjf28 -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: Vrael perhaps I am biased, not sure how to measure myself, but I've looked at many studies on the media that most often (not always) find they're the worst performer of the mainstream media in those categories - %factual reporting vs opinion reporting, %partisan guests and %objectively false statements; they're followed closely by MSNBC on the other end of the political spectrum in crappieness oh my, MSNBC is worse in opinion reporting, regardless I have a very low opinion of both stations, though recalling studies I had read many months back in such a way may indicate some bias against fox on my part  http://www.pewresearch.org/fact-tank/2013/06/05/is-msnbc-the-place-for-opinion/ http://guides.lib.umich.edu/c.php?g=637508&p=4462444 http://www.journalism.org/2014/10/21/political-polarization-media-habits/ http://www.pipa.org/OnlineReports/Iraq/IraqMedia_Oct03/IraqMedia_Oct03_rpt.pdf[2017-12-21. : 11:11 pm] Suicidal Insanity -- Can't you recover blizzard accounts if you still have the CD keys?[2017-12-21. : 10:50 pm] Dem0n -- Yeah but you don't need a CD key to install classic BW. It's free to play. You only need to pay for remastered. If you make a new blizzard account you should be able to just download the installer and install the game.[2017-12-21. : 10:34 pm] TV3D -- i had my wc3 wow and sc series registered on blizzard and its like account not found invalid email and i cant log into t-virus(U) on here so i had to make this account -_-[2017-12-21. : 10:33 pm] TV3D -- i need back my t-virus account on SEn and a CD key to hop online with you guys[2017-12-21. : 9:06 pm] lil-Inferno -- a CD key wouldn't even help you get your account bacc, contact Blizzard support instead[2017-12-21. : 9:06 pm] lil-Inferno -- TV3DTV3D shouted: for battle.net it isnt -_- TV3DTV3D shouted: sc1 bw -_- only matchmaking requires Remastered, everything else is free[2017-12-21. : 8:50 pm] jjf28 -- VraelVrael shouted: jjf28 is that an opinion from someone who has a known bias against fox? sounds like it to me - flip the coin, take your pick of any news site that a conservative would call liberal and see if from that perspective it seems like a bunch of opinion-based news and cherry picked guests perhaps I am biased, not sure how to measure myself, but I've looked at many studies on the media that most often (not always) find they're the worst performer of the mainstream media in those categories - %factual reporting vs opinion reporting, %partisan guests and %objectively false statements; they're followed closely by MSNBC on the other end of the political spectrum in crappieness [2017-12-21. : 7:39 pm] TV3D -- PS does anyone have an xtra cd key im locked out of blizzzard too -__[2017-12-21. : 7:29 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- the real news is a vague outline of some of the steps that go in to building an inflatable motorboat[2017-12-21. : 7:27 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- but then I learned that How It's Made marathoned like all day, so I started watching that instead XD[2017-12-21. : 6:53 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I used to watch Fox News, but that was only because The Simpsons came on right after it XD[2017-12-21. : 6:51 pm] Vrael -- even if the alternate interpretation is also dumb it may provide an avenue towards better communication[2017-12-21. : 6:49 pm] Vrael -- its easy to call another viewpoint dumb when you don't realize there's a completely alternate interpretation which you might've missed[2017-12-21. : 6:47 pm] Vrael -- more importantly with fox though, it's the largest distributor, and I think that makes it one of the best ways to gauge general positions and thought processes from that side[2017-12-21. : 6:45 pm] Vrael -- FaRTy1billionFaRTy1billion shouted: I only get my news from the most genuinely unbiased of sources ya me too I only acknowledge world events that my buddy Francis has personally guaranteed he was there for[2017-12-21. : 6:44 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- which is old people spouting off whatever pops in to their heads[2017-12-21. : 6:44 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- I only get my news from the most genuinely unbiased of sources[2017-12-21. : 6:42 pm] Vrael -- also not saying fox doesn't have some problems, just saying they are prevalent elsewhere too[2017-12-21. : 6:40 pm] O)FaRTy1billion[MM] -- TV3DTV3D shouted: does anyone have an extra cd key i wanna go back to playing and i cant access my blizzard account - T-Virus(U) so battle.net accounts expire after 3 months of no activity or something[2017-12-21. : 6:40 pm] Vrael -- jjf28jjf28 shouted: the amount of opinion-based news and cherrypicked guests and flat misinformation on fox is disgusting is that an opinion from someone who has a known bias against fox? sounds like it to me - flip the coin, take your pick of any news site that a conservative would call liberal and see if from that perspective it seems like a bunch of opinion-based news and cherry picked guests[2017-12-21. : 2:06 pm] TV3D -- does anyone have an extra cd key i wanna go back to playing and i cant access my blizzard account - T-Virus(U)[2017-12-21. : 11:47 am] Suicidal Insanity -- NudeRaiderNudeRaider shouted: Suicidal Insanity actually SEN is responding perfectly to pings. Network / traffic is not the problem. Something hogs all the CPU so it can't process queries. Do I really have to add a joke sign to anything that makes fun of SEN speed? |
