If he actually pointed his gun at them from in front of the car, then even without Stand Your Ground, they are justified in slamming on the gas and running him over if they are unable to avoid him. (Their only reasonable means of retreat is driving through him.) Stand Your Ground probably covers them if he was just…

If the car was fleeing when he shot he can’t reasonably be in fear for his life or bodily harm.

Wow.

It’s more like a marathon runner using a bike; it’s just an entirely different way to race. There’s no good reason to directly compare glitched vs. glitchless runs.

Does it matter if he could understand the moral implications of his actions as opposed to just the legal consequences? That seems to leave the door open for an “I have different moral values.” or “The victim deserved it.” defense at some point.

I’d assumed that the satellite signal was just a simple binary code, because the aliens were hacking together something simple to throw through our satellites and wasn’t really representative of their intrinsic coding. Since binary is universal in Mathematics and ubiquitous in Physics, it’s reasonable to assume it…

I was bothered by the fact that he came up the answer and wrote the program in a few hours while shitfaced drunk and had a confident assessment of how long it would disable their systems. The first part goes beyond competence porn, and the second part is just nonsensical.

Based on a primarily subjective and incomplete survey, most of the (major) cases that make it to SCOTUS are some special interest group supporting a person/group/company with legal standing in order to push a broader agenda (good or bad, depending on your perspective).

Except can’t (shouldn’t) you balance for that? You can’t choose between a skinny or fat Tracer, can you?

You will find them just outside human dwellings. We had these (banana spiders) around my house. As a kid I was pretty terrified by them (they’re about the size of a child’s hand), but they’re harmless and good for insect control. They’re not nearly as cute as jumping spiders.

That’s like saying a tampon is a hazard waiting to happen because you can forget to take it out and get toxic shock.

You might as well ask “Do people give that much of a damn about college football?” (Or sports in general for that matter.) There are people who care about small-town engineering university sports.

Not to take away from the awesome inanity of this, but the physics of flipping partially filled water bottles make that shot pretty forgiving.

Here’s waiting for the full-length version.

This is the problem I have with Faith. Believe whatever crazy metaphysics you want, but don’t inflict your unjustified real-world conclusions on others. Any good that has come from Faith is incidental.

I would say Dead Poets Society has almost cult status, as in it’s probably too good to be a cult movie (e.g., Stand and Deliver). I also think it’s somewhat of a standard film in high-school English classes on off days (or was 10 years ago), e.g., standardized/AP testing week. I would put it just below Good Will…

Can someone mod Popplio’s call to Pennywise’s “Aren’t you gonna say ‘Hello’?”

Yes.
