This is one of the reasons I would never get a lab. They’ve been so overbred and inbred that they literally do not have the signal that indicates they’re full, so they just keep eating and eating and eating. Other breeds can be similar (beagles come to mind), but labs take it to a whole new level.

At the very least, we need new blood. The Cons have had more than their fair share at the helm and the Liberals seem to rely on governments of the past to give themselves credibility. Both rely on name recognition as much as anything else, and I have the feeling both have become a bit complacent because of it. Both…

He gets buffed because he needs it. He can be bullied out of a lane early on, his ability to siege is dependent on whether or not the other team leaves him alone (in which case other heroes would be faster), his main damaging move takes 3 seconds to go off and can be destroyed before that happens, and in team fights…

Then he should know better than to join in on the pummelling of other groups such as women, people of colour, and LGBTQ folks who have faced discrimination just as long or longer than atheists.

You aren’t seeing things — men are almost always perpetrators in family annihilation. Occasionally a woman* does kill her kids (rarely does she kill anyone else), but when that happens it almost always makes big news. For a family annihilation to get nation-wide coverage when it’s a man, it has to be out of the…

Same here. I understand the motives because of what I’ve read on the subject, but I cannot imagine ever being in a state where killing someone you proclaim to love seems logical or justified. It’s just... these aren’t objects that you might smash in a fit of rage because you can’t imagine letting anyone else use them.…

Pretty much, yeah. It’s not always the case, but family annihilators (or wannabe annihilators in this case) tend to view their kids as property and not living individuals. It’s their god-given right to own their “property,” so when someone denies them that right they switch to a “if I can’t have it, no one can” mode.…

You can’t really compare a game that just came out (closed beta may have been big but it wasn’t that big) to two games that have had years to establish themselves, both of which have millions of unique players daily.

I have not heard of that bit of evo psych before, but it fits right in with the rest of the BS “reasons” why humans are the way we are. Among many, many other problems, withholding protein from the person who perpetuates the species/is carrying your kid/feeding your kid milk is a very good way to ensure your genes…

No kidding. How many men who are overweight (some by a good margin) refuse to date a woman who doesn’t look like a model? You hear nary a peep out of people about that, and the guy never suffers for it. Hell, a good chunk of media features overweight men turning down/mocking overweight woman and then getting a hot,…

Yup. I don’t care about height, I care about whether or not someone is so bitter about something they lash out at others or seems to think anything and everything negative ties back to their flaw (in this case, height). If a guy is secure with himself — whether or not he fits society’s “ideal” attractiveness — it…

My bets are on his getting caught. This wasn’t a “whoops, didn’t mean to!” situation. If he thought he’d regret his actions, he wouldn’t have done it in the first place because decent people don’t piss in mugs when there’s toilet access seconds away.

Don’t forget the part where he was lurking around a bush with a (male) buddy, and the two of them physically forced the woman to the ground and handcuffed her while yelling at her the whole time.

Are you talking about the Taboola ones? Adblock doesn’t block them, but if you have NoScript you can block Taboola.com and they will go away.

Same here. With how bloody slow and temperamental Kinja is, I don’t need ads (especially video ads) “helping” Kinja Kinja itself.

I was looking forward to switching my laptop over to 10, but now I’m thinking I’ll leave it as 8 for a long while.

Same. I’m a very private person when it comes to my family, so this would have been extremely stressful and make me feel violated whenever I used the computer, even though I never went to any bad sites as a teen.

Yeah, it’s something that’s pretty much impossible to test in humans, but from what we know it’s pretty much painless/you won’t be aware of pain for more than a fraction of a second. As long as the blade is kept sharp and the mechanisms in good condition, the margin for error is pretty low, too.

If only. I don’t have a problem with microtransactions as long as there’s some permanent benefit to them (they can still be hella shady, though), but GoW completely ignores that and then has the gall to demand even more money to protect your “investment”. If you don’t keep up your protection money, you lose everything.

Wow, just goes to show that lethal injection was never really about killing humanely — it was about making execution easier on the people observing it. Instead of going with a proven method, the US adopted a method proposed by a guy who didn’t even deal with living patients (just because something sounds good on paper…
