A double blind test is one where neither the researcher nor the subject know if they're in the treatment group or control group.

They're the gold standard for scientific research because just knowing what treatment you're getting can influence the results. :v

You have no idea what the fuck youre talking about or you are a bad faith troll. I know what my money is on.

Okay, I'm out then. :v Not my job to convince you.

I see youre doubling down on being an agent of disinformation for this monster

I get it's unpopular to not just call her a monster, but I really don't see it as such a black and white thing. I feel like portraying her as this evil mastermind is unfair, when she's obviously coming from a place of concern (misguided or not) and is a victim of SA herself.

Aren't you the one that tried to say trans people need to take steps to try and compromise with Rowling?

I just want everyone to get along. :v

MrMojoRising posted...

Specifically what part of JK's transphobic ideology is validated by this?

I don't know, I'm really not that far into it. I just know that she feels vindicated by it. :v Don't shoot the messenger. People were asking why she thought she was owed an apology and I answered, it's because the cass report just came out.

Dont trust the Cass report, trust Twitter

That's basically the sentiment I've seen from everyone opposed to it. :v

Funkydog posted...

Fuck the cass 'report' and anyone who thinks its worth more than shit.

why would they need to apologize to a bigot?

A big independent study came out in the UK that validated a lot of her viewpoints. The Cass report. So basically she's telling everyone "I told you so" for doubting her and calling her transphobic. :v

Zelda (most of them)
Xenogears
Xenosaga (all of them)
Final Fantasy (a bunch of them)
Kingdom Hearts (1 and 2)

I wonder if I should play DMC3, I'm not the best at action games though.

I just wish everyone could get along. :( I hate to see the harry potter family fighting like that.

I mean, they might have a point, I'm a guy and even I feel insecure my ass will never look like that.

update: found this

Or is it just me?? Like, the notion that someone born in the year 2000 is almost halfway to 30 makes me sick.

yes, I was once abducted by one and force fed nutritional yeast for days

i thought africa was a continent :u

im waiting for the bug fixes to drop before I watch

kissed or anything?? I just finished Prisoner of Azkaban and I just sorta got that vibe from them. >_>

I trust Joe knows what he's doing, he's a lot older and wiser than me anyway. :v

There's not many, if any my age now, so I don't tend to interact with any of them, but I see them pretty frequently, either IRL or online. One of my cousin's daughters has moved towards this style, as well as one of my friends' daughters.

oh, that's good to hear, they survived then. :v

nekrodev posted...

no, and also, i haven't really noticed a lack of them either, honestly

really?? I haven't seen one in years

and by MPDGs I mean the manic pixie dream girls. It seems like something happened to them around like, 2009 and the numbers have just been dwindling ever since. You don't even see them in media anymore. Back when I was in high school there were so many of them, they loved to get their derp on and act random, rawr like a dinosaur even. I lent one my copy of johnny the homicidal maniac and she never gave it back. :v i wonder where she is right now...

If women have the right to choose, what's wrong with choosing to abort a fetus who will otherwise have a developmental, physical, etc. condition that impacts quality of life for them and the parents?

The way I see it, it's just like pressing the reset button or rerolling your character stats. :v

Wut?

It's a decades long debate:
https://www.polygon.com/2014/8/5/5948989/zelda-nintendo-sheik-gender-cosplay

Mine is that Princess Zelda in OoT got a full set of dick and balls when she became Sheik. No statement from Nintendo is gonna convince me otherwise. It doesn't make sense for her to only go halfway with it if she was going to be living as a man for 7 years.

i have been

i am fine with menial jobs. they just do not pay, all the while dealing with the public still

i am on long island, i am in debt, and i still cannot move out. i cant take a huge pay cut\. i need to save for a move later this year

Do you have nice feet? You can always sell foot pics, there is a market for that even with men

I just got here but i'm worried they're going to close up shop soon. :v there's only 889 people online right now... where did everyone else go? I've been clicking on every ad that pops up for me to try and help out.

Where are putting getting their game info if not from here?

Yea, you really need to look into finding a new job, or at least find some way to reduce the stress at your work. No job is worth all of that.

Worst case scenario, cut back on what you're doing and let the company deal with it. Make them write you up for the decencies and let them know your workload is unsustainable. If they can't make things livable for you, make them fire you. You'll get unemployment and cobra and can use the time to find something else. :v You deserve better than this

You need to wipe your boochie better, really get up in there.

Well, I guess it depends on what you consider "expensive", but the costs are in the tens of thousands if it isn't covered by insurance.

will insurance usually cover it?

They hit all the stretch goals!! thank you everyone :) I like to think this topic I made is what gave the final push for that. See you all in France!

cool whip

all the extra skin and stuff removed?? I'm checking myself into a weight loss center at the end of the month so I was curious. :v Like, if I lose 200 pounds am I gonna have to get all my skin fixed?

vycebrand2 posted...

I got excited for 1 sec, then hopes dashed. The first game has serious pacing issues but its a enjoyable game. 2nd was decent. Never played the 3rd. My copy is sealed. And in great condition. Not ready to let it go yet.

Oh, you should really play 3 sometime, most people consider it the best in the series. :o It emulates well too. I think the whole series does now actually.

I really wish a translation patch for Xenosaga I&II on the ds would materialize though.

I read shift up had a policy of not hiring any fat women and required the women on staff to do weekly weigh ins. They also had to sign agreements saying they wouldn't do anything that furthered female empowerment while employed there.

she's no angel :v

Mods should close this topic for trolling tbh

I'm not trolling >_> I just want to draw attention to this kickstarter with 3 days left that's almost completely funded. That's not against the rules is it? It isn't my kickstarter, I'm not self-promoting

That's nonsense. Most ps3 games don't look that different from modern games once you scale the resolution and textures. Like, look at FFXIII for instance. The character models have a fraction of the polygons of modern games and they still look great.

yusiko posted...

if the massive success of xenoblade doesnt make them realize they could make money just by the xeno name alone a kickstarter certainly wont

They're slow on the uptake, but every bit helps! It's a sign of life in the IP at least.

dhampire1 posted...

That sucks. I was hoping it was for a rerelease of the games or something.
its just for an album of people doing covers of the songs from the first game.

Yea, but my hope is that bandai will see how well the kickstarter did and realize people would support a remaster. :v This kickstarter is licensed by bandai at least, so they know about it.

Please please please please please, I already did my part. :v We just need 630 more in donations to hit the last goal.

Guys, it's okay they went through excruciating pain because they're with god now. He just works in mysterious ways, god's plan is ineffable.

You could also blame the demiurge for all the suffering instead, and that the true god actually cares but he's unable to help because of the demiurge trapping our souls in this mortal coil. :v

KingInBlack posted...

Always the same excuse, "God's plan".

It was God's plan to give 4 year old's bone cancer? 6 month old babies brain cancer?

That is proof there is no God. Fuck... You try to claim God is real because of yearly eclipses (THEY HAPPEN ALL THE TIME), but just ignore babies and toddlers having lethal cancers.

I mean, it is really sad that that stuff happens, but if you have faith you can find comfort in the hope that the babies and toddlers went to heaven or got reincarnated (depending on what you believe happens after you die) at least. Which is a bit less cruel than thinking they lost their single chance at being alive for all eternity. At least that's how I look at it. :v

Because the modem banana wasnt made by god. Its a hybridized monster of a plant that doesnt even function as a fruit because the banana itself doesnt have any seeds. Its less natural then Frankensteins monster.

You aren't thinking about it right, God guided the people into cultivating the banana that way and let it happen. :v He always wanted the banana to look like that, but he wanted us to work for it.

I mean, was what they did really that wrong? They were just trying to make the world a more beautiful place. Not everyone can afford those expensive injections at the official places, they can be like, $2000+ for a full regimen.

I'm surprised he didn't bring up the Lady G business and his ladybugs :v

The moon wasn't always at that distance and will not be at that distance in the future. We just happen to exist in the few million year period where they match up.

All according to God's plan

I mean they aren't the same size, but there is something weird where the Sun is 400 times farther from us than the Moon, and the Sun is 400 times larger than the Moon so they can perfectly align like that.

yea, this!! That's what I meant. :)
