This is why the Sikhs are cool.

The Sikhs are hard as nails, apparently they drink heavily as well.

Or he's just a ranger. Shouting at German machine gunners shooting down at him from a cliff.

[Nationstatelandsville]

Yeah, no valid move. Checkmate.

Rules are stupid.

He wasn't under attack. That was the point. And the rules mean he can't put himself under attack. Personally, I'm not sure if he did that on purpose, if he did he should be applauded.

He didn't.

It was just dumb that he got away with that. I mean, it makes sense, but that doesn't mean it's fair.

I'm not afraid of dying, I would just like to keep living.

Then you must be a Gurkha!

That is why it would be worth applause.

Yeah, neither Astro, Nightkill, nor I know how to play chess.

I'm not, so... yeah.

Do you guys ever worry that there's no such thing as freewill?

I generally think that if free will is illusionary, then the fatalistic track we are on is hidden so well that we can't discern a difference. So why bother worrying about it (unless drugs are involved)?

Personally I think disbelieving in freewill can ironically be quite liberating as it frees one from worrying about the decisions one might take as they're not really your decisions at all.

Yet, you still must cope with the repercussions of said decisions.

Good night (rather, morning; it's a quarter past 5 AM) all.

The dissolution of personal responsibility is of course the most responsible action to take *nods*

It didn't seem that way to me.

Yes, and it's not my fault that I chose to become an alcoholic drug addict whoring myself on the streets. You can still worry about what decisions you make, cos you're still gonna feel the effects.

I'm a stoic a philosophy which says that the path to happiness is not worrying about things outside our control, lost your job, but happy. Ill but happy, dying, but happy. Because you cannot change these things and feeling negitive about them is entirely optional.

But ultimately not feel guilty or responsible for the outcomes
