Because I decided to change my plans for the project, I have to calculate the completion rate differently. There are more things to do now.
It is now 50% complete.

So, what does the recent history of Ukraine teach us?
If you're president of a country on a brink of economic recession and your oldest and closest ally offers you some cash just for keeping a smile – when some protest movement materialises out of nowhere and bears clear resemblance (and involves the same people) to a similar event from a few years ago – you shoot them. You find their financiers and you assassinate them with no regard for their social standing.
You don't need to kill a lot – just a few dozen: the leaders and some of the most stuck-up "social activists". Arrest the rest for background checks and they'll admit that they were misled.
Thus you avoid: losing your power, a costly war, (un)necessary annexations of your territory, an economic crisis, a political turmoil, the deepest embarrassment to your ally who cares.
Remember: you can cry about your national identity all you want – but for the rest of the world you will be just this: a slav.

Well, if you take the Kievan Rus, disregard some Lithuanians and Poles, and then count Russian Empire and USSR, "oldest" is rather justified.
Also, Ukrainian SSR was considered the westernmost part of the Soviet Union, it had high economic significance. The latter explains numerous important factories, power plants, research institutes, etc that were located there. The former is a reason to have better equipped military. I suppose that could count for "closest".
By contrast, Warsaw Pact countries were regarded as "Europe", "the West". Ironically, the West thought the same and (after The Fall) threw their filthy dollars at Poland, whilst Russia and other ex-SSRs had to struggle mostly on their own.

There's a video about Batman under the TED Talk's education site's "Science and Technology" section. Educational, my ass. It's edutainment (minus the education aspect, honestly) for pseudointellectual twats who want to pretend that they're smart even though they're not.

Could we please just stop caring about gender and only ask for people's biological sex when necessary?
>>889
I always thought that "gender" was a synonym for "biological sex" and a way to avoid saying "sex".

Biological sex is the chromosome pair you're born with. Gender is the various characteristics of masculinity and femininity. This leads to special genderfluid snowflakes on tumblr who whine about male and female being the only two choices. People have a mix of both masculine and feminine characteristics, but who gives a shit? If everybody would just stop caring about non-biological gender nobody would have anything to complain about. Hence my post.

Such a pity we couldn't pursue the liberal arts degree. It would waste skill points, one can only ponder the meaning of life after that.
On the second thought, this inability to get higher education hits even closer to home. Perhaps, even too close.

HI ANDREW
SAoVQ is fucking garbage now, and it makes me just a little sad.
>>920
You'd think as DQN I should feel vindicated but really I just feel like I imagine they did in the USA after the collapse of the USSR. I didn't want it to end, at least not like this, with our old rival dying drowning in their own shit. It should be more dignified. Someone should take SAoVQ out behind the barn and just put an end to it, I can't bear to watch.
takes a look at the most recent threads of SAoVQ
It looks exactly like here to me, about the only "worse" I can see about it is more "HURR JEWS ARE EVIL" posts than here.
>>920,921
I know what you mean. I remember long ago DQN went through a rocky period when a certain obscure Touhou character impersonator became a regular poster, but that problem mercifully solved itself given time. I've been telling myself that SAoVQ is in a similar situation, and that, besides, quality of discussion in a community naturally waxes and wanes, but I really am starting to wonder.
I haven't entirely lost hope though, and nor should you. It's worth taking a look through our own archives to remind us of our humble origins, and worth reading some of the older threads on SAoVQ to see what wonders they once created as the norm. I'm no longer convinced SAoVQ can solve its own problems, but if it were offered a clean slate - if, for instance, it went down for an extended period of time then was brought back online once all but the most dedicated had given up on it - I think it could return to its former glory.
This is no empty promise: you should remember that the current posters make low quality posts simply because they find it enjoyable; they have no emotional investment in the website or community, so however vocal they may be they should be easily lost. Furthermore, there is a sense of inertia in post quality; a single insightful post in a terrible discussion is easily overlooked and drowned out, as is a single poor post in an otherwise great thread. If SAoVQ were to start over, and start well, it should easily rise from the ashes.
>>922
I really don't know what to say to you.
text boards about anime and yellow fever are so fucking serious oh my god
At least it isn't my fault when a text board stabs itself in the back.
Dear internet,
Please make more Death Grips AMVs.
>>920-923
It seems like SAoVQ was colonized by shitposters from wherever it is that keeps screaming about all that social justice feminism gamergate crap. I'm sick of hearing about either side of it but some
belligerently awful posters seem to have made it their life's goal to spread it to every messageboard they can.
>>927
Stop talking about it and they'll go away.
Your post mentions it, which isn't helping.
I'm wondering about this chicken-egg problem: did our wonderful game master start those threads having chosen his role – or were they born from the chaos of silliness and found the master to sculpt and shape them as they went on?
>>923
What would be objective criteria to measure quality of a board?
Surely, a good grammar of its inhabitants (or even a courtesy of holding "Shift" for a moment and pressing "." key occasionally) makes posts more readable.
Perhaps following the example of radio operators and avoiding religion, politics, sex, business and ethnicity would make conversations mostly inoffensive. But where is the fun in that? Ham operators estimate each others sound quality and talk about weather and antennas... a bit of small talk if they know each other personally. It's a balance between dull politeness and dull offensiveness. I wouldn't expect a level of wit comparable to, say, Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett from an average board-goer. The mindset that strives for "fun on the go", that chooses a quick pun, an offensive jab over a well-thought response, a smirk over a smile is at least partly to blame on the media that constantly regurgitate these topics.
How important are some board's traditions? Reading archives can be really fun, but would an attempt of emulating the fragmentary brilliance of past to be entertaining? Certainly, some aspects are important for keeping things comfortable for both new and old users.
But if "SAoVQ went to shit", yet the majority of its occupants are happy and rolling with it... did it really? Or did you outgrow it, did you lose the sense of belonging there? Though it might be merely a single unfortunate link that attracted some curious posters.
>>929
We throw poop at each other and have a giggle about that because we aren't serious.
>I'm wondering about this chicken-egg problem: did our wonderful game master start those threads having chosen his role – or were they born from the chaos of silliness and found the master to sculpt and shape them as they went on?
It seems to me like the grinding noises thread was more of the former and the amnesia thread was more of the latter.
>I wouldn't expect a level of wit comparable to, say, Douglas Adams or Terry Pratchett from an average board-goer.
those guys are awful and i'm glad this board isn't anything like them
Maybe it's for the best that I don't have a little sister.

No, they are accomplished writers. I'm not saying that "millions of people can't be wrong", but these guys managed to create some great comedy without turning to tastelessness and toilet humour.

Relevant to confessional thread discussion: I read somewhere that the name "Uranus" actually breaks the convention of the planets being named for Roman deities; Uranus derives from Greek and the Roman version would, supposedly, be Caelus.
