<p><i>Is It Wrong to Try to Pick Up Girls in a Dungeon?</i> (ダンジョンに出会いを求めるのは間違っているだろうか)—-I absolutely loved it! Some very intense moments in the finale; several times throughout the series I was very nearly brought to tears.</p>
<p><i>Occultic;Nine</i> (オカルティック・ナイン) is actually pretty complex, and the subtitles run by at a very clipped pace, but I'd recommend pausing to read rather than watching the English dub (it's no good at all). The light novels (in three volumes) make a great accompaniment to the series.</p>I just finished binging a few titles, two of which I've added to my favorites:

<br />
<i>Cerulean-blue skies hiding like frightened children behind the skirts of wind-driven slate-gray clouds pregnant with the promise of rain...train whistles in the distance, beckoning you from bed, or driving you to it...long swaths of leaves blanketing the world in a soft carpet of gold and rubies, lying in great mounds and ready for burning, a sacrifice to older times and darker thoughts...fat, round pumpkins, orange as a winter sunset, heaped on front porches beside sleepy black cats and straw-men dressed in the dying Summer's bib overalls...</i></p>

<p>What are some really good books to call in the best season of the year? A couple of my perennial favorites—-</p>
<p><i>Faerie Tale</i> by Raymond Feist; exceptionally cool if you're able to finish it on Hallowe'en night...</p>
<p><i>Poe by Gaslight</i> includes all the best-loved seasonal favorites...</p>
<p>Of course, you have to find a copy of Washington Irving's <i>The Sketch Book of Geoffrey Crayon, Gent.</i>, and re-read 'The Legend of Sleepy Hollow'...</p>
<p><i>The Darkest Part of the Woods</i> by Ramsey Campbell; a paean to the darkside...</p>
<p><i>Something Wicked This Way Comes, October Country, The Hallowe'en Tree, and From the Dust Returned</i>, by the illimitable Master of Autumn, Ray Bradbury...</p>

<p>I'm very close to saying that it may be the best animated film I've ever seen, if not in terms of style and technique (though the trip through Abstract Thought was entirely original and spectacularly well-done!), then certainly in terms of progression and execution.

<p>Admittedly, the film is also the most heart-wrenching Pixar release to-date: I think this is due to the real-world nature of the story—there are no monsters, faeries, talking toys or really anything supernatural at all; rather, the entire story is superbly grounded in reality, and the denizens of Riley's psychology are patently representative. </p>
<p>With no singing (not a chorus to be had), catchy tunes (nary the Let-It-Go to be heard), or flummoxing flippity-flappity sidekicks (Olaf Carrotnose, begone!), <i>Inside Out</i> is decidedly cerebral and completely worthwhile.</p>I just saw this today with my three little ones; uniformly, we enjoyed it immensely.

<p>Simple rules, from my point of view: </p>
<p>If an officer engages you, be polite and respectful.</p>
<p>If an officer issues a directive, follow it.</p>
<p>When an officer says, "Hands up!" don't start walking toward them! Put you hands up and be quiet.</p>
<p>When an officer asks for ID, don't invoke the Constitution or Patrick Henry, just show them your ID. </p>
<p>When you've broken the law, no matter how trivial or what circumstances you believe mitigate your offense, be contrite and respectful—that doesn't mean you have to admit you did or didn't do anything, but don't be deliberately stupid.</p>
<p>When an officer tells you to calm down, or stop cursing at them, calm down and shut up: the officer's demand was explicit and black-and-white; there is absolutely zero chance that they actually meant for you to teach them all the profanities you know, and in as loud a voice as possible.</p>My experience with police forces in the US follows.

<p>I made it to Chapter 6, so it is definitely playable; and it's still a lot of fun, just frustrating.

<p>So, Chapter 6: "Go ahead, buddy; I'll cover you from this rooftop with this awesome sniper rifle I just picked up!"</p>
<p>"OK!"</p>
<p>Proceed to run out and get shot at by numerous, high-ground positioned snipers; and no cover fire from my partner, who just f#•$ing stands there looking 'helpful'.</p>So...while I wait three days for Dragon Age to download, I thought I'd give this game another chance.

<p>(the issue is a counterpoint nonfiction book being published to refute notions published in a fictive novel)</p>
<p>"George Washington didn’t seem to have a problem with Christian-Universalism. Indeed, I think GW probably believed like the other “key Founders” did — good people get into Heaven, bad people are temporarily punished, eventually saved. Though, his views on the afterlife are hard to pin down; they seemed as much “Greco-Roman” as “Judeo-Christian,” and that synthesis is certainly consistent with the notion that virtuous people get into Heaven, the bad temporarily punished. Here is their reductio:</p>
<p>"'Universal reconciliation is the teaching that all people go to heaven. Even the wicked angels and wicked people will repent in hell and get to heaven. The most heinous evils committed by the Hitlers of history find forgiveness. Even the embodiment of evil, Satan, the devil himself, will finally repent and enter heaven. God’s love conquers all. Hell ceases to exist. Unfortunately, this teaching overlooks the “little matter” of God’s justice and holiness. In my book, “Burning Down the Shack,” I expose the universalism still embedded in the novel.'</p>
<p>"Why even mention Hilter to prove the point. As far as I understand orthodox view of salvation, Hitler could have had a deathbed conversion to Christianity and be in Heaven, yet every Jew he had killed, if they didn’t have a similar conversion, ends up in Hell for eternity where, according to some orthodox notions of Hell, they experience something even worse than the Holocaust. This, to me, is as nuts as the worst I’ve heard come from the Bin Ladens of the world. </p>
<p>"But even if Hitler DIDN’T have a deathbed conversion, the orthodox version of eternal damnation relativizes his sin and teaches Hitler ends up in the same place with the Jews killed during the Holocaust, Ghandi and those who believe in soul damning heresies like Mormons (and perhaps even Roman Catholics). At least with universal reconciliation there is room for punishing folks IN PROPORTION to the sin they committed on Earth so that, if everyone gets into Heaven, Hitler, Stalin, and Mao are at the END of the line (for humans). And Satan, at the end of the line for all beings. That makes far more sense than the orthodox version of eternal damnation. Now, if one wants to stick with, “this is just what the Bible teaches,” fine. Don’t try to argue there is any rhyme or reason to it."</p>

"...Women want a home, children, a family life, a network of friends, a social life, and romantic intimacy with a male partner who wants the same things she does. There are three denominations of Romance popular among American women right now. </p>
<p>1. The Princess is in search of her knight in shining armor, her Lancelot, her Prince Charming, who is THE ONE. THE ONE is the man that fate, destiny, God, or Fortuna has designed just for her. He loves what she loves. He wants to spend time with her, listen to her, and tend to her needs. He will fulfill his mission as sire of her brood and will be an attentive and loving father. </p>
<p>2. The Cosmo Girl wants it all: education, house, marriage, career, travel, fun, lots of friends, a social life, dancing, tea with the girlfriends, exercise, vacations, kids, popularity, lovely clothes, deep emotional discussions with everyone she knows, the approval of all, success ... and the Cosmo Guy who adores her and who will love every one of the "Eighteen Ways To Please Your Man In Bed." </p>
<p>3. The Nester wants a home and kids and a family. A husband is necessary for all that to happen. He has to bring home the paycheck, impregnate her the desired number of times, and function as her assistant at home: mowing, trimming, painting, vacuuming, barbecuing, washing the car, and picking up dog poop. His personality is not that important as long as he does his job. </p>
<p>The problem is that American men simply do not fall into any of those categories. As I read them back to myself, I felt repelled by each of them. I can see the benefit to women in hooking up with one of those three characters, but I don't want to be one. I have thought about becoming gay, but hell I don't like men either. They are all jerks."</p>originally written by net persona 'abcdef54321'

Choices and decisions in life are influenced by environmental conditions, true, but the predilection to choose one way or another can often be reasonably assumed based on genetic disposition....Mr. O'Brien, RM 101 (alias of Andrew Turner)2010-09-07T22:44:21ZRe: Forums: Off-Topic Discussions: How come straight guys can't say another guy's attractive?Dr. Abby Normal (alias of Andrew Turner)https://paizo.com/threads/rzs2l8kj?How-come-straight-guys-cant-say-another-guys#262010-09-04T03:35:35Z2010-09-04T03:35:35Z<p>Straight men have ways around all this with comments like...</p>

<p>1. If it's clean when you walk in (like the stovetop or counter, for example), it's clean when you walk out.</p>
<p>2. If it doesn't belong to you, don't touch it, or eat it, or drink it, or use it.</p>
<p>3. If it's a reasonable time to be quiet (like 10 PM), be quiet.</p>
<p>4. If you stand up, don't piss on the rim, the floor, the seat, the baseboard, the tub, etc.</p>
<p>5. Flush the toilet.</p>
<p>6. Community property means community replacement.</p>
<p>7. If your room stinks, keep your door closed; if you stink, take a shower.</p>
<p>9. If no-one else in the house salts their language when they speak to you, keep all the f+@@s and cocks to yourself.</p>
<p>10. Walk down the stairs at 0430 and 2300—don't run, in boots, while belching and farting.</p>
<p>11. If a bedroom door is closed, knock and wait.</p>
<p>12. You like football and you like to coach the teams from your easychair, in your loudest voice. Everyone else likes to read quietly, or sleep, or study, etc. Watch your game in decibels that do not escape your closed door, or use headphones; coach-at-a-distance in your mind or under your breath, or go to a pub and yell with all the other champs who had the decency to leave the house.</p>Here's a few of my favs:

In this way the consonant clusters were simplified and made easier to articulate. With the rise of public education and literacy and, consequently, people's awareness of spelling in the 19th century, sounds that had become silent sometimes were restored, as is the case with the t in often, which is now frequently pronounced. In other similar words, such as soften and listen, the t generally remains silent.
<p>It's very debatable whether or not it's incorrect to pronounce the 't,' and you're as likely to find an English professor who argues for it as against it, as well as differing dictionaries. Some of it is surely regional, and some of it is surely accent (as in barn/born).</p>houstonderek wrote:Readerbreeder wrote:So, OF-fen or of-TEN? Or (as I've heard it occasionally) OR-fen?

Numerous sources have stopped talking about Tritium and are peddling disinformation associated with Helium-3(1 Proton,2 Neutrons) being a product of Tritium (three Protons) using antineutrino decay. If I take a superconducting sphere and put it in space and fill the contents with hydrogen, the neutrinos decellerating across the superconducting boundary cause the protons to depolarize and form a Proton metal under gravity. If you want tritium we can make it in space... the fusion project going ahead in Europe has already failed though...its going to be hit by the anti-time pressure wave of a black hole we have created in the atmosphere of venus to terraform that planet habitable backwards and forwards in time...consequently the mathematicians involved in the fusion project are going to experience loss of mathematical ability bandwidth and get their numbers wrong...you all saw what happened in the Dark Ages...that is the anti-time fallout. </blockquote><p>I like chocolate milk!yellowdingo wrote:Andrew Turner wrote: yellowdingo wrote:1.
