Age of Empires 2?
In North Korea, this forum wouldn't be banned, it would be revered and taught in schools as a palatable and preferable version of Western history. And in many ways, that's all the truth the children of North Korea need

I fucking love ferrets.
My horrid drippy beast Nina:
I got extra skin. Wut?
\
She growls hello
True story
But my friend Gwyn insists that she is really saying "Durrrrrrrrrrrr".
You're a great dog person (and Nina has always rocked!)
I've seen a lot of people hit dogs for growling, but growls mean different things. Bandit got in a fight once and had a big gash on his ear and it bothered him for a couple of days, so he'd get up on the bed and look straight at me and growl. It was a little unnerving the first time, but his body posture didn't say "attack", and he didn't made a move to snap at me, he never has. He was just sitting there growling. It was his way of griping about the ear.
The books don't tell you this stuff.

I'm actually quite fond of Roger, so far. He doesn't take any shit, and I think I may well learn some things from him.
Don't tell him that!
Sorry, I "misspoke". I didn't mean I could legitmately learn something from him, because then my body would shut that whole thing down and I wouldn't become impregnated with truth.
I'll just try making him a sandwich instead.

A lot of states collect parole and probation fees.
so instead of paying for their food they get to collect money from them?
all while still having them under control and supervision?
It does seem like they could make more money using them for slave labor than collecting fees every month.
Wait! Wait! Maybe slave labour -
IN PAROLE!.
THE BEST OF BOTH WORLDS

It was that "Midsummer Night's Dream" thing in the lecture Rat linked to that changed my mind about that. Human beings have a really special, unique ability that is deeply related to our most fundamental technology, language. We have the ability to transport ourselves into someone else's reality through stories, especially stories that are acted out by players. While we may never really KNOW what it's like to be the character in a story, we can, far more than other animals, genuinely feel frightened, hurt, betrayed, triumphant, and even fall in love, via stories.
I think maybe this is the true value of really listening.
I also think I may have to revise my opinion of TV. Not of the way it's used, but of why people can't seem to help loving it. I think it exploits a very, very beneficial and human part of our nature, which is the ability to empathize and relate through listening to or watching stories being acted out. It's such an elemental form of human communication, history keeping, and learning... I can't believe I never made that connection before.
I'm still thinking it's a big glowy box that people watch so they'll know how to act.
Like I said, "Not of the way it's used, but of why people can't seem to help loving it." It appeals to people on a very basic level because we're actually wired to learn how we're supposed to behave from stories. Television is an abuse of that wiring, but realizing why it works that way is going to make me view it differently.
