DANGIT OW
This sounds like Descan accidentally hitting tables.

the Black Ops 3 campaign is... screwy. Very very screwy. It's pretty fucked up
Listen only to the sound of my voice. Let your mind relax. let your thoughts drift
Zombies, too. It's gone from a dark and zany action thriller to this dark diesel 1930's lovecraftian saw story
Imagine somewhere calm, imagine somewhere safe
The multiplayer is probably one of the most improved COD multiplayer modes, much more well executed than Advanced Warfare or Black Ops II
Imagine yourself in a frozen forest
all in all this game is an easy 8.5/9 on 10 for me so far, i'll see how the campaign pans out though.

It could also be argued that an intensively-farmed animal you eat is contributing more ecological damage than some wild animal is. For the basic reason that wild animals do not damage the ecology because they're already part of a balanced system.

You've definitely got a much smaller ecosystem and carbon footprint if you consume wild game. So unless they hunt endangered species, which was a royal screw up, you'd have more of a point arguing that the amount of fuel used to get these people out there was a waste of resources and added to the CO2 in the air, rather than the fact that they ate meat on the island was an environmental catastrophe.

Well, if a small number of people do it then it's fine, but with populations like we have today, industrial-scale farming is the only way to sustain it without utterly destroying the ecosystem. Obviously it's not perfect, but we've got a ways to go before people start eating synthesised food or whatever.

What about just eating less meat? Revolutionary idea I know.

Well, that would be accompanied by raising meat prices, since quality would go up and supply would go down - and suddenly you've turned meat into a classism issue again. Yeah, it's the only real solution, but it does come with some secondary issues.

I'm going to do the smart thing here and disengage. This isn't a hill I paticularly care to die on.

Is the existence of luxury products necessarily a classism issue? I don't know enough about class warfare theory or w/e you're basing that off to say.

It's known as the Oppai-Kaiju effect. The islands of Japan generate a sort anti-gravity field, which allows breasts to behave as if in microgravity. It's also what allows Godzilla and friends to become 50 stories tall, and lets ninjas run up the side of a skyscraper.

How did you deal without having working video card drivers? That sounds like the kind of thing you'd notice.

You use generic VGA/SVGA driver modes.

Happy/WTF, first graded assignment was handed back and I got distinctions.

Given my major cockup in the calculations on the last question (we were supposed to make a 0.1 molar solution, and the answer I got was 0.05 and in my fuzzy-mindedness thought 'That seems right!') it's quite surprising.

That remo=inds me of a wtf I've had rattling around for years.

WTF is up with Avogadro's Number? Why don't they just round it up to one octillion? Why did they choose this weird arbitrary number to count atoms and molecules in groups of?

Number of carbon 12 atoms in 12g. That'd be the same with any system of mass.
