@matrix what game to be precise?
(BTW, I saw that so many times before... But the worst thing is, why?... When I have internet, I have better things to do then be playing cash-grabs)

The pros and cons of Unreal Engine.
Trying to code for this thing is a fucking chore.
The finished product runs smoother than governments wasting money, but god damn does it take forever to even set up the simplest scene.

It's sad just how much pain I had to go through to agree with you on this point... I geuss society still needs a bit more.

@apropos @LukeAlmighty @Orakel @matrix The White West has had all its kindness and virtues viciously exploited since WW2. It's beyond vile how our morality has been used against us, and requires a complete revision of how we act towards "the other".

I will buy a new monitor when I feel like I need one... For now, I am perfectly ok with my 1440x900 movnitor connected to VGA converted to HDMI converted to display port...

Holly shit I'm actually installing Windows 98 in Japanese holly fuck

This is how men will take back control of the sex work industry from the wamenz.

1) Not my parents :MonkaChrist: , they are good parents. Teachers on the other hand........

2) "I think they're trying to mitigate damages" I don't think you du understand my point. Of corse they are trying to mitigate the damages, but the problem is, that their instinct is set up by their childhood to go directly to apology as the best option to do it. In other words, they feel no reason not to apologise, since they do think it will always help.

@ChristiJunior @Orakel @matrix

And just to finish my point, I have no idea how many times I heard parents and teachers say "Apologise as if you mean it!!!" when a child did not agree with it's own guild. And if the kid did not apologise, the punishment kept escalating until the kid did apologise.

So of corse noone lears what does an apology mean... It's obvious that it's beaten into their skull that they must apologise even when they did nothing.

What kind of hell do we live in never ceases to amaze me.

@ChristiJunior @Orakel @matrix
Cowardy? Yes. Nonsensical? Hardly. I am sorry, but since childhood everyone learns, that it doesn't matter if you did or did not do somerhing bad, but what matters is if people believe you did it and if they believe you truly understand what you did.

The problem is, that childern cannot fight to prove they are innocent, so it's easier to apologise, so parent won't punish them too hard.

that being said, the adult world truly does work differently.
1) Adults are judged based on actions and not intents, so feelings of guilt rarely do change the punishment.
2)Adults are expected to be able to defend themselves both moraly and factualy. So, if you either didn't do it OR you think there was nothing immoral about it, you're not supposed to apologise.

Apology is not only admition of "guilt", but also admision if IMMORAL guilt. Now that is the difference.

@Orakel @matrix Admitting guilt when you did nothing wrong, in the hope of escaping punishment, is nonsensical and cowardly.

"Public figures often apologize after making controversial statements. There are reasons to believe, however, that apologizing makes public figures appear weak and risk averse, which may make them less likeable and lead members of the public to want to punish them. This paper presents the results of an experiment in which respondents were given two versions of two real-life controversies involving public figures. Approximately half of the participants read a story that made it appear as if the person had apologized, while the rest were led to believe that the individual had stood firm. In the first experiment, hearing that Rand Paul apologized for his comments on civil rights did not change whether respondents were less likely to vote for him. When presented with two versions of the controversy surrounding Larry Summers and his comments about women scientists and engineers, however, liberals and females were more likely to say that he should have faced negative consequences for his statement when presented with his apology. The effects on other groups were smaller or neutral. The evidence suggests that when a prominent figure apologizes for a controversial statement, individuals are either unaffected or become more likely to desire that the individual be punished."
