yogsloth: Well Zeo, I admit you're reasonably fixated on one issue, and may technically qualify to participate, but somehow "puzzle solver" just doesn't seem like it belongs on the same stage as "kiddie porn connoisseur" or "flat-earther gender fascist".

Unless you're of the subset of Christians (like much of my family) who can calmly and reasonably explain to you that the entire universe is 6000 years old and the Devil created geology, radiology, astronomy, physics, etc. In which, case, get on the stage, Dr. Dino!

dtgreene: I think it is generally a good idea, but I think gog.com should preserve the old version in case something goes wrong with the update and the user didn't download the game previously.

It is fortunate that, unlike Steam, gog.com doesn't make updates mandatory. (There have been some times mandatory updates have caused issues; Skyrim 1.2, for example, was so bad that 1.3 was just a regression fix.)

dtgreene: First, use the correct pronoun (especially since her pronoun choice isn't something exotic).

Also, you were born as a baby. Do you want to be treated as a baby all your life?

dtgreene: Except that there is no lying involved. It would only be lying if a trans person explicitly claimed to be cis.

It is not a lie for a trans man to claim that he is a man, or for a trans woman to claim that she is a woman.

LeonardoCornejo: LOL. I just earned a nickname XD

F4LL0UT: That's so naive, it almost isn't cute anymore. :D

yogsloth: Count yourself lucky you've never had to sit through this guy's stuff. There are real, living, essentially intelligent people, some of whom I am related to, who eat this like Skittles.

And bad jokes? Hmmm.

How bad?

What's the difference between a truck full of dead babies and a truck full of bowling balls?

You can't unload the truck full of bowling balls with a pitchfork.

zeogold: It says right there in the article that the actual Christians think he's a nutcase who-
......
.....I meant......I meant "groan-worthy"....

AccurateArt: Yeah, there are a subset of Christians who fall under the Young Earth Creationist category who think that the world is that age. I have also never heard of such Christians who are adamantly against those things, but luckily I don't fall into either category :)

dtgreene: (Quoting just this part on purpose)

Just because a group is a minority doesn't mean it should be ignored. It is way too common that people design things for the majority and don't take into account minorities. Take a look at tools designed for right handed people or games that use color in a way that causes color blind people to have difficulties, for example.

AccurateArt: Christians especially should be appalled by this man's behavior :) Taking it a step further, Christians should be appalled regardless of the faith or background of the individual.

zeogold: Yeah, there's not exactly anywhere in the Bible where it mentions this, nor does science provide any definite answer than "a whole lot of years". I really don't see why so many people get so hung up on such an irrelevant issue.

zeogold: You take it into account, sure, but I don't see how that helps your point any. These individuals (the ones with an actual disorder) need counseling of some sort to come into a better understanding of themselves, not hormones to push them one way or the other.
zeogold: Trust me, we are.

budejovice: Just to clarify a couple of points before I pull a [url=http:// gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder]Breja[/url], but there is misinformation here.

Gender nonconformity is not in itself a mental disorder according to the people that diagnose mental disorders.

Science really can tell us how long ago the Big Bang was. Radio telescopes have been measuring the cosmic background radiation since 1964.

Y'all have fun in here. :)

zeogold: I didn't mean mental disorders. I'm talking about the people who actually have a hormone issue.

I said "exactly", as in "somewhere closer than within a couple billion years". Plus, I've heard there are issues/ways to fool that system as well, but I'm not going to bother arguing about that since it's currently the most reliable system we have.

Thanks! It's been a while since I've had the opportunity to engage in a nice healthy debate. I'm almost grateful.
