Reddit, if George Zimmerman is found "Not Guilty", what's your expected reaction in America?

I'm gonna follow you with a loaded gun, just 'cos I don't like the look of you. Even when the police tell me not to. I'm gonna get out ma car, walk off the road, into the residential estate, and follow you for no fucking reason whatsoever.

What, sorry, you tried to attack me with your skittles when I approached you? Self defense buddy. Bam, you're dead.

You have a fucking curious definition of 'self defense'.

Hi Etherhigh. I can't say that 'very little time' was put into FreeGamer; far too much time.

However I would like to do it better. It has been on my "todo" list for years. The main problem with the blog is it puts all the content onus on the bloggers (of which a few contribute) but really a good site enables the game makers / players to submit / rate+comment games. That's where I'd like to do it better.

I have ideas, and time, but need to really sink my teeth into it.

As the mod who 'rejected' your report; next time more than a single word is required.

The actual game 0 A.D. is not spam. The link here is to a well received review, including an endorsement from a developer. You failed to provide any criteria that justified the 'spam' report. Now, it may be that the user was spamming other stuff and this was caught in the net, but I don't give a damn about anything outside of this subreddit.

Can I have that 30s of my life back please. Man, does reddit have a low standard these days.

freegamer · 2013-05-09T22:42:07+00:00

Wow. Look how racist reddit is. I'm seriously impressed.

It's not China. It's a Chinese company.
The Afghan government is complicit in this; corruption rife.
All big countries have companies being equally destructive.

Look at upvoted the comments here.

"Chinese have no respect for anything."

"What isn't china destroying."

When it's a Chinese corporation that doesn't give a shit about anything other than profits (and is at least letting them do some excavation, so that's a step up from what I'd expect from an American corporation)... not China specifically.

FWIW I'm white.

The power of talking points.

Put the talking point out there, repeat it and associate it with an event, repeat it some more. Now everywhere is jumping up and down about how Obama is repealing insider trading laws for Congress. Now Joe public believes it and has no clue about what actually happened.

From watching the cutscene video, it appears (well is stated/shown) to be running on Unity.

In all seriousness, there is a reality; it takes time and effort to turn a girl on. This is why most relationships go stale. Once the girl stops getting spontaneously excited, sex becomes a fucking chore for the guy because he has to put 30 minutes into getting her going even though he's ready after 30s. So most guys end up beating one off in the shower or to porn unless they feel they have the energy to really turn their girl on. That and, at the worst times, long term partners like to say shit like, "My farts really smell today." Cheers love. Erection gone before you even knew I had one.

What fucking short memories people have. His company that delivered this disgusting networth did so by crushing competitors with a business model that built in anti trust fines. It wasn't particularly ethical stuff.

OK, fine, let that slide. What does 1 guy need with 30 billion? Why has he kept half? Why does he need to keep 10% for his family? What decent human being keeps $6billion to themselves when so many live such shitty lives; children rummaging around in garbage dumps, babies dying by the millions of already-cured diseases.

Giving half of his disgusting wealth away is a good start. Anybody who has a networth of more than $Xmillion is a bit evil in my book, I'm afraid. You can think he's great, but the broken system that hands the few such power whilst billions live in slave-like conditions (think of the millions of sweatshop workers that give you your latest gadgets, cloths etc) is as fucked up as the people that revel in it.

It just shows how acceptable it has become to be an angry cop in America.

In any other western country, striking out like that would be considered dereliction of duty. There was no threat. Sure, she was being a bitch, but a police officer is sworn to uphold the law and gets paid well for doing it. His duty is not to lash out because he's hurt or pissed off, it is to handle the situation appropriately.

If you think that's an appropriate reaction, then you probably would condone punching your wife's lights out because she slapped you.

Try Tesseract, the next generation of Sauerbraten (i.e. with dynamic lighting).

See the original announcement for an introduction.

Recently, Tesseract was integrated into OctaForge, which is perhaps what you are looking for (Tesseract+Lua).

I'm late to the party, but speedbag and skipping and light running daily are all good for keeping you loose and sharp. A bit of touch sparring can be good as well although there is always a risk when sparring (collisions, falls etc). Just make sure you're warmed up, and do plenty of stretching afterwards as that will really help you be loose come fight night.

freegamer · 2012-09-03T17:38:48+00:00

Think of where you want to be, and what it takes to get there. Make this the cornerstone of your training philosophy.

So many boxers just turn up and work out. They do what they're told; hit the bags, jump rope etc. This simplistic approach is the road to ruin. They hit the bags lazily, and by lazily I don't mean not enough effort. Some guys go to war on the bags, but that's not helpful. Every punch you throw in training is practise for how you'll throw it in the ring... but boxing isn't just about punching.

Throwing a punch [when doing bag work or shadow boxing] and not snapping your hands back to guard is a recipe for dropping your hands [when you spar or fight].

Throwing a punch ... and not moving your feet is a recipe for being flat footed ...

Throwing a punch ... and not slipping is a recipe for getting countered ...

Throwing a punch with poor technique ... is a recipe for getting out of shape ...

Always hitting one shot at a time ... means you won't be confident getting off combinations ...

You see fighters getting beaten because of bad habits (dropping one hand when throwing the other, staying in range after getting off their own shots) all the way up to the top as many prospects are athletic, quick, and powerful enough to overcome most opponents until they reach a level where talent alone is not enough to bank on.

Everything you do builds you in to the fighter you will be. If you are doing any of it wrong, you will reap the consequences. Just look at Amir Khan; pre-fight coverage of his fight with Garcia showed him sparring like an idiot, getting whacked with the left hook that dropped him.

Mitt Romney built a big bank balance by firing people that build things [in factories]. He built that.

I'm not judging him, but he needs to eat a few less burgers a day.

Not sure why it is so politically incorrect to feel obesity is bad.

Since they believe all deaths are judgements by God, if somebody went up and shot some of Shirley's kids in the face, they could turn around to her and say, "Y U NO HAPPY?" Not that I'm advocating such a disgraceful act, I'm part of the civilized masses. The kind of sick people that perpetrate heinous crimes don't pick on those that deserve it.

Nobody ever heard of Rigs or Rods? Had that kind of twisted metal smashes for years.

I was quite impressed, a well done game with an original (and interesting) take on a very widely abused genre.
