Thanks for immediately dismissing the idea that I might actually be familiar with the game. For the record, been playing since it first launched.

So... you quit because they enabled other players to play in a way that they enjoyed more? I mean, if you don’t want to fly, stick to a ground mount, you’ll have the exact same experience.

I don’t think someone deserves to get their life ruined for smoking weed. I do have a significant problem with driving under the influence. If you’re going to take mind-altering substances, don’t get behind the controls of something that can kill people when used improperly. And considering that possession of 4 oz and…

Organism - an individual animal, plant, or single-celled life form. The smallest contiguous unit of life.

Well, my definitions and understanding of the process come from scientifically observed evidence. Do you have scientific evidence to prove the contrary? And I sleep fine.

They aren’t unborn children. It’s the disposal of unwanted cells in the early stages, and stopping a fetus from proceeding to grow in later stages. There’s no consciousness ended.

Then don’t. Simple as that.

I drive for Uber, and I hear a litany of complaints about taxis, including higher prices, no way to tell when/if they plan to arrive, abandoning fares that are too short (which some Uber drivers do as well), poorly maintained vehicles, bad smells, anti-social or rude drivers... I don’t think the service is fantastic,…

Uber runs criminal background checks on drivers.

I drive for Uber - they DO perform background checks on us. That, plus the fact that drivers have to submit licenses, car registration and insurance info, cell phone number, and get GPS tracked for every ride means that attempting anything like what this guy did is exceptionally stupid.

It was muy bueno...

Why are you replying to a two and a half year old post?

I went to Katsucon last year - on day 3, I woke up with nasty chills, to the point where I was shaking despite a thermal blanket and an assortment of flu meds. The ride back from the con included a stop at Mellow Mushroom, which they'd been looking forward to the entire trip. I went in with them, and faded in and…

I couldn't understand what the senator thought this bill brought to the table, then I read your comment, and the light bulb went on. That's a fairly disgusting and regressive view of gays - "Oh, I know, if we can't stop them from getting married directly, we'll just say that anybody with an STD can't get married! …

Nintendo stated plans to have DLC for Smash, including stages and characters. It's been widely assumed that Mewtwo will be the first of several, so the idea of a second character wasn't wildly outrageous.

And yet, people frequently do things that they have no authority to do.

It's gender identity - sexual identity is who you sleep with/are romantically attracted to, gender identity is what gender you are.

Zero is still a figure.

Fatalities from riots in the US, I can't find anything since the 1992 LA riots. That said, successful efforts to prevent violence tend to get less publicity than when they fail.

No, no police have been seriously injured or killed. The fact that there's an overwhelming amount of them, with riot gear and semi-automatic weapons, with backup from the National Guard, probably didn't hurt to keep that figure down.

I'm going to go out on a limb here and say that if people are willing to burn down a dozen buildings, torch police cars, and discharge weapons as a result of this man not being put on trial, there's an outside chance that a person/group of people might get the idea to take the law into their own hands. Yeah,…
