If these smaller iTrials were set up so that people couldn't pre-form teams and destroy the usefulness of the LFG system, and were not horrible to play, then I would certainly queue up for them.
Of course, I'm still hoping the new Dark Astoria will give me a convenient avenue to building up my Incarnate characters. -
The idea that pink is for girls may have biological roots.
And a certain Gainsborough painting would seem to indicate that, in the 17th-18th century at least, boys might be associated with the colour blue. It's incidentally often associated with another painting from around the same time which would indicate the girlish association with pink. -

To be honest......all it took was a certain someone's post to turn it into that. -

Quote:Until we become homogenous beings that lack the general characteristic differences of gender, a certain amount of bias will always be normal. The trick is getting to the point where we acknowledge differences without either forcing limitations based on a perception of them or trying to sweep them under the rug for fear that they make us unequal.Originally Posted by Golden Girl
I like the color pink - but it's good for children to be aware of gender bias, otherwise, they can grow up to accept it as something normal.

If you'rea guy, then you porbably haven't noticed that parts of society is still balanced in your favor

Well, it'd be a mistake to think that with all the massive improvements we've had in equallity in the past century, the fight against patriarchy is won - there are still quite a few areas of society that need to be improved further, so keeping children aware of the remaining problems of gender inequality is important to help them carry on making society better when they grow up.

That there is a pink section is the problem.

OffTopic @ OmniNoGuard: Which is that, a Deceptibot or an Autocon symbol?

There's superhero stuff in the pink section, or there was last time I was at Toys "Я" Us.

And didn't he call the space suit an impact suit at one point? Could have sworn I heard that. If so it would imply it was designed to survive reentry.

He only needed to survive long enough to get into the space suit...
Overall I found the episode entertaining, I suppose. The girl's idiocy annoyed me. And the space marines seemed kind of random. And the acid rain danger they introduced was just as random. And the ending with the family was sappy and predictable.
The bet parts were the Wonka tour and the Doctor crying like a human. -
Quote:Ah, I see. I might say "everlasting" or "omnipresent" in that case, but in most discussions I think the difference would be moot.Originally Posted by Tenjoy
I'm sorry for being unprecise. Usually, when the players in our SG talk about powers, "perma" refers to clicks that need to be refreshed but can recharge fast enough to be "on" continuously (like Hasten, for example). "Quasi-permanent" refers to pets that only despawn after their 27¾h timer runs out, so you do not need to click the power more than once (unless you don't need any sleep
).
So, while the two terms look similar, I used them to refer to different things. What other designations would you suggest?

I wouldn't want it to be a toggle as it would likely be shutoff when mezzed, but the frequency which it has to be resummoned is annoying.
Quote:These statements appear to be at odds.Originally Posted by Tenjoy
Voltaic Sentinel is perma out of the box

Also, the only archetypes that are supposed to have quasi-permanent pets are masterminds and controllers/dominators. -

Quote:I wouldn't be surprised if they set the price point higher than I'd like, but if they set it the same (or higher, for that matter) as buying a new slot it would be actual robbery. And while I honestly wouldn't be shocked about that either, I would certainly raise a brow disapprovingly.Originally Posted by Forbin_Project
Don't try to pretend that you are unaware that the company has in the past deliberately set prices on items that while affordable, discourage people from using them constantly.

Quote:And you much prefer the hard Navy SEALs. I see.Originally Posted by New_Dark_Age
The only way a woman can pass SEAL training is if SEAL training becomes SOFT SEAL training and in that case it isnt SEAL training then is it. So she doesnt pass SEAL training cause it aint SEAL training, its SOFT SEAL training. In that case the Navy Seals arent the Navy Seals , they are the SOFT Navy SEALS.

Quote:SEAL training is rough. As I recall, most of the male candidates who apply fail. It is, of course, illegal for women to apply at this time. If/when that law ever goes away I heartily concur that any woman who could make it through the process would be exceedingly rare.Originally Posted by New_Dark_Age
Seriously , if you think a woman can survive SEAL training, you need your head examined. You are totally ignorant about military training.
Of course you want it banned and removed from my post...cause it shows that you are completely crazy and ignorant.
But that has little to do with being unable to accept it happening fictionally.
As much as some people lacking the wherewithal to avoid using offensive speech shows the nature of theirs, hm?Quote:Originally Posted by New_Dark_Age
The fact that some of these people lack the rationality to accept offensive speech shows the nature of their charater.
