Ι'm not trying to play the smart ass. False dichotomy is when you force someone to choose between two alternatives as if they're the only available whereas they could conceivably choose neither and go with an 'outside the box' choice, like uh, not going to the movies when only shit is playing.

It's kicking the terrorist in the nuts instead of either choosing saving your only child, or saving your village, you know? It's a triumph of goodness and human spirit. Willpower and pure desire for a better life.

consumerist culture blah blah we've had this conversation before, I'm sorry. Just rubs me wrong.

No offense, please, but pretty deep and epic words for a conversation about rollercoaster ride blow-up movies.  My foot is getting better... As if any of you guys are interested.   :)  Talking about problems is such a waste of breath..  I don't know why I do it.

The consumerism runs pretty deep so it's required for the few to stand up strong instead of going for an even handed approach trying to avoid offending anyone.
Interest in other people is far more important than our wankrides. So uh, nice knowing your foot's better  :P. I dislocated my toe like a year back and it still doesn't work right.

Oh geeze, all this pixel art has me with my eye basically touching the screen trying to get the 25% of a digital painting exact right down to the pixel. I'm probably going to take all my digi stuff onto pixel level for cleanup after resizing from now on, automatic AA is kind of bugging me when I can't get something exactly the way I intend it because of the stupid blurry shrinking.  :blind:
