This doesn’t excuse it even a little, but folks should know that “late elementary” in Japan is 6th grade, so he’s probably talking about 6th-8th graders.

You can just turn off your power source if your computer is in a hibernation or hybrid sleep mode.

I’m pretty sure that this task is intended to force a restart after an update when you tell it you’ll do it later (or update and restart in certain conditions), and it’s supposed to be disabled once it accomplishes that task (which is why it re-enables itself sometimes, likely the next update install). The fact that…

Parents occasionally come to me desperate to get their kids reading. I tell them what any reading or language-learning expert (or 6th grader) would tell them: Find something they WANT to read, then let them read it.

I love this bit (George Carlin just never stops being relevant no matter when you watch his material), but he really could have brought it all the way down to 1 with “Thou shalt not be a dick.”

I wonder where the Firefly/Serenity IP stands in all this?

It’s important to note that religious conservatism plays a huge role in culture down here (and yes, this brand of religious conservatism is deeply conflicted, focusing exclusively on one or two hot-button issues while giving up much of the basic tenets of Christianity).

Finding many Let’s Plays derivative can’t really be a criticism of the format itself, though. While it’s true that there are a lot of very derivative LPs on Youtube, it’s also true that the vast majority of works of art are derivative. That doesn’t diminish the validity of painting as an art form, which is good…

Imagine people banging on the glass...

I’m curious how you feel about the fact that there are streamers whose actual thing is that they stream themselves eating. Their fans literally tune in just to watch them eat.

Attraction to men doesn’t exclude an attraction to women, though. And details about da Vinci’s personal life are vague enough that his being homosexual is largely speculation and extrapolation of his students’ writings about him.

I was about to post almost the exact same post. I loved this game, too, but never finished it. I don’t remember why, exactly, but I’m sure the reasons you posted for yourself likely apply to me, too.

Despite being white, I don’t really understand how kneeling during the national anthem is so disrespectful of the flag and the military/veterans.

As I understand it, cops are trained to target the torso when they shoot someone. There are several reasons for this, the most important being that it’s the easiest part of the body to hit. This reduces the chance of missing in the chaotic situations in which you’d actually need to shoot someone, which is necessary…

I didn’t take it that way— I just felt the need to add it to my own comment for the same reasons.

This is true of anything involving micro-aggressions. People can do things that are offensive without realizing they’re doing it or having any intention of offending. Which doesn’t excuse it by any means just because it’s unconscious.

The shortcut is to read the last two paragraphs of the article.

So was she pregnant?

Damnit Kirk, I thought this was a farewell article for a hot minute. Don’t do this to me!

Also, I loved this article even though I’ve never even been tempted to try out Destiny (hasn’t stopped me from reading about it with relish, though).

In case you haven’t picked up on it from all the other people telling you this, your comments are just as dogmatic as you’re claiming everyone else’s are. In fact, the more people tell you you’re doing exactly what you’re accusing them of doing, the more frantic-sounding your diction becomes. I’m glad at least one…
