Found out about New Zemlya playing Delta Force probably over 10 years ago. IRL, there's an airbase there along with the typical accompanying 800~3000 strong support population and fueling depot next to the seaport.

Look for Tristán da Cunha. Should be fun for you to take a look at.

Using punctuation would be a great way to start.

Response to: Does any kids these days have talen Posted October 5th, 2013 in General

At 10/4/13 10:07 PM, Wegra wrote: these days
back then

1) Define the word "talent" (by "define", i mean an observable set of data, not amorphous, ambiguous and subjective, perceived traits);
2) Name one child performer from "back then" with said talent;
3) When you're done naming 5, layout that collected data on a chronological graph and extrapolate a time frequency for the occurrence of a child actor with "talent".

Only after these tasks have been completed, and only if you find that the frequency is decreasing, can you make the assertion that "these days" things are getting worse.

Pet peeve of mine here: the use of the terms "nowadays", "back in the day" and their similars by people who haven't been alive long enough to use them. I will, however, concede that Wegra has completed two decades of life, but these terms still irk me.

While at times responding to someone else's review would be very helpful, more often than not it just leads to a giant fucking flame war, and we don't want to reduce the reviews on this site to the intelligence level of Youtube comments, although it seems to be headed in that direction anyway.

Precisely. That, and reviewing a review is in itself an abusive review. You're reviewing the content of the submission, not having a conversation with other spectators.

I graduated in the summer of 2008 (precisely when the world's money caught fire). I went right back into university, since it's going to take the economy those 3~5 years to recover in the first place, and when it does, i'll have more qualifications than most, while my resume remains gapless.

Response to: Why is ancestry a big deal Posted May 11th, 2012 in General

I find it amusing when people, specially north-Americans, say that kind of thing.
"I'm German", oh really, speak German to me. Name 5 German cities without saying "uhm...". What German team is owned by a crazy-rich motherfucker who owns a yacht bigger than some cruise ships and aircraft that aren't even commercially available yet?
You're not German. You're 14th generation no-culture "i live within walking distance of 300 big box stores" American. Own up to it, that would be a step up in consideration by anyone who can actually spell the capital of Scotland.

Response to: So... Did America Win In Iraq? Posted May 4th, 2012 in General

Well, you managed to get all the chemical, biological and nuclear weapons they had, and eliminate all the ties they had to AlQuaeda, so i guess it's a victory. Just like in Vietnam you avoided communism taking a hold of the entire country, having the capital be in the south and having their flag not be a gold star on a red background, and you didn't retreat while getting chased all the way back to the last city.
Victory.

Price of university paper? Posted May 3rd, 2012 in Writing

Just wondering what the average price is for writing a university level paper on any given topic.

I've been getting a few writing contracts and apply a one-cent-per-word price on papers i write from scratch (seeing as i only have to deal with my own ideas) or five-cents-per-word for translations (since i have to do quite a bit of juggling with two languages and someone else's thought processes).

So anyone out there who does serious writing for hire like technical manuals, research papers or what have you, what's your price?

Extremely important. You probably wouldn't buy a toaster while drunk, because it might... i don't know, toast wrongly or something, but the majority of people would go to a bar, get piss drunk and believe they've found the significant other of their lives.
Kids: do not do this. Not even once.
The same should apply to making friends, you are absolutely right.

As for my favourite way of meeting people, i'd say... Slowly. If you set out with the specific objective "I SHALL MAKE A FRIEND TODAY", it'll probably backfire. Not as spectacularly as "in a bar", but pretty close.

Response to: Damn Those Dutch Bastards. Posted April 29th, 2012 in General

At 4/29/12 01:31 AM, gamejunkie wrote: I don't think you can blame ALL the trouble caused in Holland, solely on American pot smokers. I'm sure the Dutch have had their fair share of idiots from all over the world.

As someone from a place that gets a lot of tourists, frankly, the nationality in question doesn't really matter that much. They're all kodak-moment hunting idiots.

But the main point of my thread is, how come it's okay for the Dutch to smoke pot in Holland but they ban everyone else? It just makes no sense. I'm sure there are idiot Dutch pot smokers who cause trouble too, so why not just punish those people by banning them from smoking. Why do the rest of the worlds pot smokers, who specifically travel to Amsterdam to experience all the place has to offer, have to be punished for the wrong doings of a few idiots.

Because if you give someone a certain right all their lives (or from relatively early in life until death), they won't overreact to it. Give an 18 year old american kid a certain right for say 48 hours, i suggest making popcorn, sitting back and watching.

Ban/punish the people who cause trouble, jail them short term if necessary.

This causes a lot of expense in money and time with diplomatic fucking around that keeps government workers from doing other shit.

But leave the non trouble makers to their own devices.

Once they go get a permit, they still can. The victims here are in no way the local consumers. The local shop owners, maybe. Tourists who go to another country because there's legal pot there, definitely.
