I’m just saying that it would be awesome if the discussions we all have about this story could be, I don’t know, dinner-party-quality, minus any throwing of silverware. Be nice to each other and such. Or at least respectful. We can do this!

Here’s my opinion on everything ever:

One. Big. Meh. That's all I could muster for this. Compare that with my reaction to the Star Wars trailer.

Looks decent! I question the studio’s decision to release one week ahead of a big studio movie like “Alvin and the Chipmunks: Road Chip”, but I think this movie will do OK for itself. Not sure if it’s mainstream enough to be a huge hit though.

As a boomer myself [I'm 60], I'm not here to rail against your generalization of my generation being assholes.

So it was his fault that he was robbed??

Any human with a decent working brain knows that games do not cause sexism.

“Containing an estimated $1000 worth of hardware and games”

Holy Fuck you're right. Maybe he was running towards a loaded cannon. Better put 8 rounds in him just be sure.
