Which task force?

There are few or no laws prohibiting the use of information garnered from illegal or unethical pre-existing research, but from everything I've read, it's strongly discouraged in the medical community. Like, "No, we won't peer review that paper... oh, and we just might revoke your license and ostracize you. And report you to the authorities. And the WMA. And NATO." discouraged. You can find some examples of people trying to use such information, and the results of those attempts, if you poke around. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unethical_human_experimentation is a good place to begin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Declaration_of_Helsinki https://code-medical-ethics.ama-assn.org/ethics-opinions/release-data-unethical-experiments As can be seen in the American Medical Association's opinion, even setting aside the ethical implications, such information is generally considered to be unreliable and of questionable value because it's rarely obtained through proper science, meaning the tests weren't conducted in a manner which met falsifiability requirements, failed to account for all variables and weren't properly documented. If such research can be reproduced through proper scientific method and ethical testing (this is option C), it's permissible as a reference. That doesn't happen very often. Most unethically obtained medical data is pseudoscience, mad science and/or skewed "proof" of a biased or scientifically questionable theory. It's almost never of any value, and in the rare case where it can be useful or worthwhile, the method by which it was obtained taints everything based on it and use of that research is considered to be dismissive of the horrors the patients experienced, which, itself, is a violation of medical ethics. Most medical professionals will actively search for a reason to discount the research if it involves violation of patient rights, violation of medical ethics, torture, abuse, et cetera, and they usually find that reason. Doctors just don't want to be associated, even tenuously, with torture, grotesquery, murder and patient abuse. Nor should they, as it presents a picture diametrically opposed to the care-giver and healer, and using immorally obtained research data definitely portrays a lack of regard and concern for patient rights, feelings, and even their very existence. People shouldn't and wouldn't trust medicines or surgical techniques created from research which involved torture, abuse and/or murder, or want such used on them due to the connotations with said atrocities.

Snarbie Girl. Snaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrbie. 🤣 Snarbie! 🤣

Hey, who did that doll with one shoe character a couple of years ago? Find him and get some tips!

LeVar Burton referred to Terry Farrell (Jadzia Dax, DS9) as Action Barbie because she was thrilled to do her own stunts and fight scenes. The Barbie that can kick your ass is the best Barbie, as far as I'm concerned. This looks more in line with @Snarky's schtick, though. And that concludes my interest in, knowledge and awareness of Barbie... unless they make a SHODAN Barbie.

Not bad. It has a flow to it, expressing the Vogonity of the writer please don't blow me out of the airlock.

19 hours... and half a page of discussion...

Only if you touch the GMs inappropriately. And anyone trying to touch the GMs inappropriately is going to have to touch me inappropriately first.

This is amusement, not anger. If I were angry, there'd be a GM here in a fire truck (which is fun, too, because their sirens don't work and they have to stick their heads out the window and shout ME MAW ME MAW ME MAW).

When you finish those remedial reading classes, you'll understand.

Same. Because after I did spend months grinding my female warlock to a high enough level to use the one chest piece that wasn't a dress, Blizzard changed it into a fucking dress. Need to grind for a specific look = gone.

The problem wasn't "illusion damage", it was your shit-tastic communication skills. You made what appeared to be a statement of fact, that Taunts deal illusory damage, then asked that it be "applied only to taunts" and not punchvoke. This implies that all Taunts already cause illusory damage, and your request is that it be removed from passive Taunts. Given that the rest of us know that Taunts don't deal any kind of damage currently, and "Pride." was a remarkably useless title pointer, everyone had to guess at what you were trying to say. And when queried, you... declined to clarify, to phrase it politely. I had to re-read it several times to figure it out, and I'm really fucking good with English. The burden of comprehension lies on the writer, not the reader. That's the most fundamental rule of communication. You are responsible for making yourself clear. It's not the reader's job to decipher an explosion of mental diarrhea to figure out what you're trying to say. If you disregard that basic rule, you leave yourself open to misinterpretation and misunderstanding. You were unclear, you acted like an ass when people asked what you were talking about, and now you're accusing everyone else of being slow because they couldn't instantly intuit what you meant from that stream of consciousness you vomited onto the screen (and refused to clarify when asked politely!). Sorry, but it's not our fault you sound like you're high, drunk or literacy-challenged, it's yours.

What I got from this thread is that someone selected this power with the expectation that the only thing it did was a 50% chance for a mag 1 Stun. I don't know whether to be mortified by what that says about understanding of basic game mechanics by players, or delighted that someone thought the power looked so cool that it had to be in his/her repertoire.

Your proposal was as comprehensible as that of a four year old's excited recitation of what happened in kindergarten class. Your follow-up responses were deliberately obfuscatory. Put away the victim card before you give yourself a paper cut.

Because building a conflict of interest into an open world event was poor design? I don't know, just a random shot in the dark.

I'm presuming that someone starting an account four years after the servers opened isn't asking about badges awarded on a temporal model that would exclude him/her.

Badges have always been character-specific, not account-wide. HC hasn't changed that.

I don't use separate folders for my binds, I dump everything in E:\Games\Homecoming\settings\live , and I used the H key instead of Z. Other than removing the obstructive quotation marks, those were the only changes I made, and they work perfectly for me. Either your path is wrong, or you're saving the text files with the wrong names or file type. Those are the only things I can think of that would cause the text files to fail to load. joke1.txtjoke2.txtjoke3.txtjoke4.txtjoke5.txt As you can see from the attached files, I didn't even bother to change bindloadfile to bindloadfilesilent when I was isolating the problem with making them load properly. And I can log in on any character and type /bindloadfile joke1.txt and everything works.

Licked the problem.

Too many quotation marks. Remove the quotation marks here-------------------------------------------------------^ and here-----^ Z "say Wait. The Paladin who believes in the 'Sky Cow' doesn't believe in ghosts?!$$bindloadfile C:\CoHRotatingBinds\d&djokes\joke2.txt" bindloadfilesilent would be more fluid, too. Z "say Wait.
