So is this game basically a fancy version of tic-tac-toe or is it something completely different?

There's also this but it makes even less sense imo.

Also, I don't know if I'm delusional because I have a flu-induced fever right now or if that's actually intentional, but I can kinda see a double helix when I quickly scroll through the binary string part (bottom of page). Anyone else seeing it?

First person kind of has a point though, albeit awkwardly worded (or maybe I just misunderstood, I can't read minds obviously). Free speech is one thing but putting an uneducated, bigoted, baseless opinion on the same level as a structured analysis from someone who's an expert on the discussed matter because "well everybody has their own opinion" is wrong. It happens a lot in the media nowadays which is why so much bullshit gets through, like the Trump pee scandal or Pizzagate. I also saw a post just a few minutes ago about how Fox news hired a guy to pretend he's a Swedish govt official (and apparently they made him talk shit about refugees) but I haven't checked the facts yet so I won't make any assumptions, I'll just say that I wouldn't be surprised if it was true.
I say let people speak but then don't hesitate to tell them they're wrong, and if they start crying about free speech, well you can just tell them that freedom of speech doesn't equal freedom from consequences.

Hehe, in the Czech version of the movie they decided to translate drag queen it into something like "transbeestite". Worst or best pun ever?

Someone pointed this out in the comments already, Lauren is referring to one certain point in history, which is the downfall of the Roman Empire. She's also wrong because the Roman Empire was destroyed by barbarians from the outside, not from the inside, and the beginning of the downfall was influenced by a ton of other factors besides the Romans recruiting barbarians into the army, but let's not mind that right now. So I responded by also referring to only one certain point in history, which is the WWII. I'm not saying people from the Middle East are going to get shoved into gas chambers, I'm simply pointing out that she's just cherrypicking with that statement because she chose only one very specific point in history.

Fair enough, but that kind of bashing does come from conservatives 99% of the time. Honest mistake.

Oh look, a conservative shoving all liberals in the same bag, how original. NOT. I have a liberal mindset but I don't believe in fairy tales, I'm fairly centrist (slightly left leaning though) and I consider myself a critical thinker – I don't play for a team therefore I'm not subjected to collectivism. I know many others who would describe themselves as liberals but aren't SJWs, don't believe that Harry Potter is real and so on. So stop shoving all liberals in the same bag, a'ight?
Also, oh the irony. You speak of fairy tales but aren't conservatives on average much more religious, more precisely fundamentalist Christian, than liberals? As far as I'm concerned Christianity is one giant fairy tale where the "good guy" is a wizard in the sky with authoritarian tendencies. Are you sure that WBC idiots holding signs like "God hates fags" isn't the same as dumbass SJWs holding signs about fucking Dumbledore or whatever?

The political systems in Star Wars were actually very well done and deeply inspired by modern politics so I can totally see someone use it as an example. I agree with the general statement though, don't use fiction as an example of real goings-on.

If only you read a history book you'd know that refusing refugees entry into your country lead to them being shoved into concentration camps, starved and gassed.
…
Seriously, I don't follow Lauren but I know she's one of the anti-SJW people so we're probably of the same opinion about the SJWs but this statement of hers I disagree with.

So what, you think I'll defend Reid? I don't play for a team, I don't follow a herd like a sheep, it's called critical thinking.
The thing is that "impugning the motives" can be easily bent and twisted and you can ban someone from saying things you don't like. That's the problem here.

Well, you know this kind or roll doesn't damage the paper, it'd be worse if he just completely bent it in half. I think he tried his best on that one, but again, if he went to college, he probably wouldn't have to be a mailman, if you know what I mean.

How exactly did she violate the rules, by citing Martin Luther King's widow? I've seen the clip and nothing in her speech seems violating at all. This whole "impugning the motives" reason just really seems to me like republicans can't handle criticism and need a safe space.
Also, yes, as I already said the rioters are stupid, don't know why you need to parrot that after me.

Man, have you seen the news about republicans banning Elizabeth Warren from giving her opinion in the Senate? The right is turning dangerously authoritarian, and the left is turning dangerously anarchist with the violent protests and riots.

@garlog it's pretty hard to get your hands on proper scientific studies as they're often published in paid scientific magazines, so that's the closest I found. Also I think gender dysphoria might be on Wikipedia, if you look in the sources there might be a proper study linked. Glad we agree though.

Now what the SJWs probably mean by the social construct logic is that gender ROLES are a social construct, like the "woman in the kitchen, man at work" stereotype. I can totally get behind that, what you have between your legs shouldn't dictate what you can or cannot do (except for obvious biological things like giving birth). Now do I think that men and women have different natural predispositions, making them naturally good at some things and bad at others? Yeah, sure. But just because you have that predisposition, doesn't automatically mean you will be good or bad at certain things. You might be talented enough to surpass it. Restricting a person from doing something because they have this or that between their legs OR discouraging them because "you'll never be as good as the other gender" (for example the "girls are bad at maths" mantra that is oftentimes repeated at schools, even though recent studies prove that it's not true) is stupid and counterproductive.
Rant over.
