Keep Guam and carry on?

I know I’m just a random guy on the internet, but may I recommend not using the word ‘blocking’ or even thinking of the fight in terms of attack and parry. Even though those are the exercises they had you going through in the video (which looked odd to me, but I’m definitely not here to judge).

Is there enough draconic cultural zeigeist critical mass for us to start talking about Flight of Dragons yet?

I have no idea why the writers do what they do. All I know is that if Tyrion truly believes that his sister is pregnant, and that there’s a chance that the Lannisters might be able to survive all of this, he has every incentive to make sure that happens.

Tyrion is in on the plan with Cersei to betray the north and Danny so that the Lannisters can survive.

It’s exactly about money, though. Franchises only maintain their value so long as their owners are willing to support them, regardless of the industry. That means outputting related products and content to sustain interest, and not damaging the value of the name by undermining long-term trust.

This is a cowardly move on behalf of EA. Instead of owning their mistakes and learning from them, they run away from complicated IPs the moment they start to falter or stumble. Owning a franchise means planning for the occasional stinker, and rising above it. There are still plenty of fans of Andromeda, and by…

Gonna give this new purchase a whirl:

Well said :)

I mean, drone pilots push buttons to drop bombs on innocents all the time. Do they qualify as war criminals in that case? Unlike the officers and politicians who were charged after WW2, most grunts and soldiers, or even low-level officers often aren’t even in a position to make a clear judgement call on the difference…

My only point is that I’m a cynical bastard and I’ve mostly lost faith in the capacity of my fellow Americans to do the right thing.

As someone who served in the 21st century American military, I don’t share your confidence. There are a number who might hesitate, but most soldiers just want to keep their heads down and follow orders, while a significant minority is super gung-ho and made up entirely angry white young men who grew up idealizing the…

Did you have to make the guy’s photo so big on the front page? I was eating.

Riddle: What weighs nothing, can be seen by the naked eye, and if you put it in a barrel, it makes it lighter?

Yeah, a small group of protesters were caught on camera saying that. I’m sure you also realize that saying “BLM wants dead cops because of this one thing” is about the same as saying “All Trump supporters are Nazis because of these Trump supporters holding tiki torches calling for white nationalism while also praising…

Look up the difference between a one-off chant that was and is discouraged by the BLM leadership and that doesn’t represent even a tiny majority of the movement, and actual Nazis.

BLM isn’t calling for dead cops.

So you’re just an asshole. Good job.

You’d become a fascist because some people inconvenienced you one day on your way to work?

Here’s another example, ladies and gentlemen, of what I’m going to start calling “weaponized pedantry”: someone trying to throw up flak to distract from the issue at hand using technicalities that ignore both context, and the simple ethics of the topic.
