At least 74 killed in wildfires in Greece. The worst wildfire to hit Greece in over a decade tore through a small resort town near Athens on Monday afternoon, killing at least 74 people, injuring almost 200 and forcing hundreds more to rush on to beaches and into the sea as the blaze devoured houses and cars. Huge, fast-moving flames trapped families with children as they tried to flee from Mati, 18 miles (29km) east of the Greek capital. Among the dead were 26 people whose bodies were found huddled tightly together close to the beach, a Red Cross official said on Tuesday morning. -
Official website First-person thriller The Occupation (from Ether One devs White Paper Games) looks like an exciting spin on the immersive sim genre. Playing as a journalist in 1987 England, there’s sneaking, talking and even a bit of Deus Ex-ish crawling through vents to be done in search of the truth behind a (presumed) terrorist bombing. Unlike most games, the entire story plays out over the course of four real-time hours. Either you get to the truth and make your choices by then, or the government will pass a restrictive new set of laws unopposed

CORPORATE welfare queens. The "family farm" died decades ago to be replaced by large-scale agribusiness. -
"You can play the way you want by adjusting difficulty independently for puzzles, exploration, and combat to easy, normal, or hard." Having exploration on 'hard', for example, will remove the white paint that indicates a useful handhold or ledge when climbing. Huh - how about that?

It’s currently on a Kickstarter campaign, with hardback books clocking in at $50, and has quite predictably passed its initial funding goal of $30,000. The campaign ends Wednesday, August 22nd.

Sony PlayStation 4 controller - rubber degradation
Commissar SFLUFAN replied to gamer.tv's topic in The Spawn Point
The controller that came with my launch PS4 absolutely suffered from this condition within a couple of months. -
And to show how well they researched this, Comey and McCabe lost their clearances when they were fired.

Actually, our position is more accurately described as "the right to defend one's self using means that contain a reasonable expectation of lethality."
-
It largely comes down as to whether you value the "individual" or the "collective".
-
This is a very valid point and I would say that in a scenario where the State has the theoretical monopoly on violence, then lethal acts of self-defense directed at those agents of the State carries more legitimacy than lethal acts of self-defense directed at non-State actors.
-
My argument against the "right" of lethal self-defense in deference to the State's monopoly on violence isn't as much a "progressive" argument as it is a "fascist" one. It's a argument based on the "insignificance" of the individual relative to that of the State.
