Straight male here. I concur that square jaws are gorgeous.

I'm trying to illustrate to you the idea of money being fungible.

I said nothing about Medicare fraud or curbing spending on Medicare in general. I made comments about what kind of care we allocate limited spending to.

I loved the rationale the other council races had for fearing humans.

Money is fungible. Money is allocated in order to meet expected demand. If you're allocating money to Medicare then that money is not being allocated to a variety of other things.

Good for them? But why am I obligated to pay for it?

MMS wasn't implemented because the first iPhone ran on the Edge network. AT&T didn't have the bandwidth. Siri doesn't work very well without enough RAM either.

Yeah I would worry this attracts a certain type of person. Namely the kind that wants to serial date, but isn't attractive enough to get serial dates. The creepy, the sleazy, the ugly. . .

But the cutest one is always the barista and I don't want to bother her while she's working. . .

They only allow new versions because old versions don't work well with all the features due to hardware limitations. Your old phone still does everything it did when you bought it. How is making your newer products better "fake demand?"

Only when you have absurdly lopsided ratios like 95/5. Realistically that's not what's going to happen any time in the foreseeable future.

"I know that has switched from an iPhone to a comparable Android phone has preferred it."

Why do they need "real demand?"

"A choice isn't a choice without a consequence"

It had plenty of both. People just had stupid expectations of what that means. The choices affect the story even if they don't drastically alter the plot. Stories are about what meaning you draw away from the characters' struggles. Not the fact that everyone dies at the end.

Biohazard suit!

I was talking to someone who didn't realize what a vaccine was. I didn't feel like going into it.

No. A vaccine is essentially the deactivated shell of the flu virus. It basically acts as a training-dummy version of the virus for your immune system to practice against. If it's exposed to the actual virus it will already have the antibodies available and on hand to kill it before it infects you.

Are you kidding? The Mass Effect 3 debacle treated us to some of the most histrionic nonsense I have ever heard from people who were all bitter about the ending.

To be fair. Most of the criticism is coming from entitled wankers. The tone of the whining often sounds more like the inchoate tirades of a jilted lover than people who didn't enjoy a video-game.
