This is a terrible opinion that is wrong in the same way that asserting 2 + 2 = grapefruit is wrong. It’s a categorical error. Vegan milk substitutes are, without exception, abominations. Almond nut juice is a vegan milk substitute and, accordingly, also an abomination. No one should drink almond nut juice, nor should…

Phrasing! Are we not doing phrasing anymore? Because we should really still be doing phrasing.

The best exercise to look better naked is the Fork Put Down. The second best exercise to look better naked is running. The exercises listed above are significantly farther down on the list. No one who needs this list is bodybuilding to work on their aesthetics. If you want to look better naked, eat less and do more…

There is no way to “target” fat. Unless you’re going to dedicate your life to exercise, the largest factor in your weight will be diet. To give some numbers, a pound of body mass, on average, requires 10 calories a day to sustain. So a person who weighs 170 lbs burns 1,700 calories a day by just existing. An hour-long…

You are a horrible person.

He is expected to raise the “You woulda done it too” defense. Experts give him good odds to defeat the charges.

That’s really an exception that proves the rule, though. Someone who majored in Chinese/Russian/Farsi/Arabic (or whatever language) actually comes out the other end with a skill they would not have had but for majoring in their chosen language. Ideally, they will be not only a deeply proficient speaker/reader/writer…

I will never understand peoples’ urge to dismiss Tyson. He was, in his prime, a top 5 all time fighter. He studied the sport on a level that few boxers do, and he was blessed with a combination of genetics and life experiences that made him unstoppable. That same combination—more the latter than the former,…

Pretty sure that’s Soraka.

Whhhat? The difference between a 10 ms ping and 50 ms ping is huge, as anyone who has ever played an online FPS can tell you. This is on top of whatever the network latency is, so it looks like people are averaging north of 100 effective ping even on good connections. A tenth of a second is massive in games like this.

It’s not meant to get you out of losses because you queued with someone who is terrible and immature. It’s just for people who literally don’t show up to the game. I still think that LoL should implement some kind of early surrender option when the game goes 4v5 (e.g. if 4v5 for more than 2 minutes, 4 man team has the…

The appropriate solution there is some kind of early surrender timer and maybe an adjustment to LP loss/gain for rage games (with a massive loss for the rage-quitters themselves). Otherwise, it’s a real loss/win, unlike games where you’re 4v5 or 3v5 from jump. This only fixes a subset of unbalanced games, but it’s a…

The Jezebel commentariat is somewhere between a lynch mob and the NKVD when it comes to pretty much anything related to sexual assault. All accused are guilty until (and, in some cases, even after) being proven innocent, and any deviation from the party line will be met with severe correction. You’re absolutely right:…

Can you point me to a better Mr. Sinister story than the one in the Deadpool videogame where Deadpool repeatedly and pointedly ignores any semblance of plot? Because my memory of Mr. Sinister is that he’s so ‘90s X-Men that he probably had his own line of thigh garter pouches.

He was operating off-planet so you could have him doing wild, cosmic-scale shit without explaining why it hadn’t completely altered human civilization. It’s hard to keep the devil in a bottle and still have him be scary.

Luthor is one of the supervillains who does make sense. He thinks that the species is in peril of being enslaved by a godlike, seemingly immortal alien who operates outside the boundaries of human authority and could kill everyone on the planet pretty easily. This dangerous alien then gets together with a group of…

More likely they were jealous of the scooter’s superior power-to-weight ratio. Harley Davidson has been at the forefront of turning petrochemicals into noise without the dangerous side effect of horsepower for over a century now.

Oh, it’s a good thing he put diagnosis off until after he was out of office, because otherwise we might have had a senile old man doddering around incoherently spraying weapons and money at Islamist regimes, terrorists and South American death squads.

BF2, not coincidentally, the last time it was a PC-driven experience. As long as they keep the series cross-platform, BF will never again be as good as BF2.
