Try All-Star Superman. It's a 12-issue limited series (easily found in graphic novel format now) written by Grant Morrison, one of the industry's best writers. Morrison wanted to write "a collection of 'timeless' Superman" stories, and the result is fairly impressive. The story doesn't dwell on his origins (dealt…

This is one of those situations where heroic intervention isn't necessary, because few things will get you hunted down and arrested (and probably beaten) faster than stealing from the cops.

Privacy is worth losing lives. It's an equation nobody ever wants to explicitly come out and say, but it's true. Privacy is worth a Boston Marathon, or an Oklahoma City, or even another 9/11. The reason this is true is because the loss of privacy can mean suffering for an infinitely larger amount of people. All it…

Yes. Their methods are intrusive and horribly overreaching, and there's been no evidence presented that their "protection" has actually WORKED to stop any kind of attack.

"Something bad is happening now, but it's always been done, so nobody should try to change that."

I faintly remember some Q&A session some of the Daily Show people did a few years back where they said they introduce themselves as vaguely as possible without outright lying. "We're from a relatively small cable channel and we want to do a story on you", "What channel? Well, we're channel ## in New York, not sure…

Can you source your claim about Nintendo making more money? All I can find is their 5-year financials which suggest they're not doing so well.

I'm not missing your point, I'm saying your point is not a good one. Yes, it's common knowledge that Nintendo home consoles are supplemental/secondary consoles. Aiming to be second is not a good sales strategy. It means people will pick up your console later, if at all, guaranteeing a smaller adoption rate and more…

But to say that "7 major titles a year just isn't enough" makes one think that you bought the Wii U for all the wrong reasons. Or that you are unfamiliar with how Nintendo works. Or how that math adds up over the years to being just as many, if not more 1st party games as MS or Sony.

One month of above average sales does not make up for months of dismal performance. Show us 3 months of growth, and maybe we'll buy the "momentum" claim.

Non-trans people never try to reinvent themselves with invented credentials and made-up work history? Her transition was when she chose to make up lies, but this story could easily have been that of someone who wanted to escape their family, their hometown, past crimes, past debts, and so on. Leaving her trans…

Name changes existed before trans people, as did reinventing one's life and lying about credentials. You could include all that information, and simply say "Dr. V changed her name TO this in XXXX, while prior to that, she was named in lawsuits concerning..."

Educational institutions and employers have more than just names on file. SSNs, prior addresses, bank info... it's not hard for trans people to verify employment/education. Most of the time, it's just a matter of making a note of it.

If an individual commits fraud, it shouldn't matter what sex/orientation/whatever they are, the fraud should be revealed.

It wasn't tactless if it was deliberate. He found out she was trans, and wanted "oh my god!" reactions from the subjects in his piece to drum up pageviews.

She was absolutely a fraud when it came to her credentials and background.

Because Nintendo consoles have positioned themselves as a secondary purchase. XBOX, PS, and PC tend to share the same titles, while most games released on Nintendo can only be found... on Nintendo. People will buy one of those machines as a primary gaming system - not Nintendo's.

Yeah, money does talk. The price point of the restaurant DOES create the expectation that there will be a certain atmosphere. I can't think of any restaurant where I'd be expected to pay $400 AND be expected to have a dining experience like at Applebees/Red Robin/other casual bar restaurants. There IS a reasonable…

EA is just the funder of Maxis. EA doesn't exercise creative control over anything Maxis does and you wanna know why? Because when Maxis was acquired by EA Will Wright maintained complete creative control over Maxis in exchange for EA funding his development of The Sims and getting Maxis as a subsidiary.

Strictly/legally speaking, no, restaurants aren't public, they're private spaces available to the public. They have certain conditions imposed on them as any business does, but they ARE allowed to set their own rules and refuse service/remove people. Individuals who enter the premises are invitees, but that doesn't…
