What I don’t get is, let us for the sake of argument assume that what she says about Africans selling their fellow Africans into slavery is true. It’s not, but assume that it is. The implication is that, if they had not done so, there would be no slaves to sell, and thus no slavery. But there are two problems with…

This may be a difficult one to win. If I walk into an event and notice that I am not searched for weapons, then continue inside, it’s hard to argue that I didn’t know someone might bring in a weapon. As with most cases, it will probably come down to details.

I started doing this about a month ago because I have always had a lot of trouble falling asleep. It really does work. A lot of the time now, I actually fall asleep in the middle of the routine. Try it, and if it doesn’t work at first, don’t give up. It just takes a little practice. For me, the “don’t think” method…

Woah woah woah. There are some lines that should never be crossed. I kid, but it’s actually nice that Japanese trains are super quiet inside... 

You make a good point. All enjoyable activities are hereby banned until all problems on Earth are solved. No having fun until every societal problem on earth is eliminated. Please stay tuned and we’ll let you know when it’s okay to do things for fun or leisure again.

You don’t like it, don’t read it. Everything else you wrote is just trying to make yourself feel important by attacking someone.

Some of these are pretty crude, but... I still remember fondly “amazing chest ahead”. Funny, not too crude, appropriate (because it was outside the Princess’s chamber)... but I guess some people always have to take things too far.

Given that this is an MMO tie-in, I think it was pretty clever of them to make the fight more similar to what you might see in an MMO encounter. This reminds me of the Monster Hunter tie-in with Metal Gear Solid: Peacewalker. The fight had a monster-ized metal gear creature to fight, and was much more like a monster…

Seconded. I looked into joining, but was really turned off by the pervasive attitude of arrogance I encountered. Being smart doesn’t mean we should be in charge, or that we always have the best ideas, or that we should just look down on everyone not in MENSA.

Hm, seconded. I am that person. My IQ is somewhere in the top 1%, but at times I think it takes everything I have to operate as a functional adult. Free advice from the horse’s mouth: intelligence is overrated as a positive trait. Ambition, the ability to work hard, compassion, empathy... these are just a few of the…

I guess nothing’s impossible. But I have an IQ in the 150's range myself, and Trump really just seems like a moron to me. If not, he’s playing a deeper game than I can conceive of pulling off.

If you can’t forgive your enemies, nobody you deal with will ever have a reason to make peace. As you may note, he’s working on those several million other sympathizers, but it takes time. I for one applaud this man for leaving his former life behind and helping others do the same. It is the height of arrogance to…

No one is talking about responsibility. The question is, which is more important? Not feeling the need to show empathy because it’s not fair toward the victims of racial hate, or doing whatever it takes, even if it offends sensibilities, even if it offends one’s own sense of justice, to take a step forward? This guy’s…

So I’m the guy who approved of your 20xx comment, and I bought the game last night. This game is to Castlevania what 20xx is to Megaman. In fact, they’re extremely similar in some ways. If you like 20xx, I think you’ll really like this too.

No one starts out great at their craft. You get better by doing.

It’s easy to say that from the outside in, but I suspect you wouldn’t like people stealing your work, even if your work wasn’t widely recognized or acclaimed. Not everyone is a Mozart, but that doesn’t mean it’s somehow better to rip off Nickelback. Even the worst writer in the world doesn’t deserve to have something…

20XX is freaking amazing. It turns out, you really can go home again.

It’s true that those are core cliches, but as a sometime writer, this many coincidences across one piece is simply not possible. It’s a giant red flag for plagiarism. It’s not just word choice, it’s sentence structure, order of topics covered, time spent on each area. If you take the original review, then change words…

Yeah... it still kinda stings, though.

It’s never Lupus.
