The mistreatment is entirely the point of the story. She’s a nurse in a fascist warship in space, she’s isolated, her boss sucks and there is no “fun” to be had on Vader’s ship; this is not a happy story about pleasant things. This series, ultimately, is about Vader not the random side characters they visit, she’s…

Best of both worlds, go home with regret after watching the Giants, the Everclear of the NFL, shit the bed in the draft while listening to Everclear.

It’s hardly a magnanimous end for the nurse, but “Tall, Dark, and Handsome” is hardly magnanimous to her as a character. She isn’t painted as a sympathetic figure, but a deranged lunatic, looked down upon by the world around her (and that the world is right to do so) for her self-destructive delusion.

Or...just get it again.  Generally the test is more expensive than getting the shot again.

Not college for me, but I did some work for hospitals and didn’t have proof of vaccination (records would be 25+ years old 2,000+ miles away) so I got all of ‘em again.  So yeah, I’m set.

Or it might not. We’ve thought that a whole lot of things were bad for us over time that weren’t. High cholesterol foods will kill you! Except it won't. Does coffee cause or prevent cancer? Nobody knows! High fat foods like butter will kill you, eat margarine. Wait don’t do that, margarine will give you cancer! Eat…

I mean, yeah probably. A lot of people in the US don’t quite get the nature of “capitalism” in China. In the US there is no expectation or coercion that a company or individual contributes to the US as a whole; as long as you follow the laws. In China you WILL contribute to the “greatness” of China. Your company will…

As I’ve pointed out on other threads, making your own message encryption is relatively trivial from a coding perspective.  If bad guys want their own encryption they can make it in maybe a day.  Beyond that, there are dozens of encryption programs not subject to US law that you can download.

Or you know...it’s just something enjoyable that two people can do together. I have and have had long term relationships, I’ve had one night stands and I’d say I’m living a pretty healthy life overall. The study your referencing is pretty damn flawed, by the way:

Sounds like he used an actual device designed to fry electronics via the USB port like this one:

How is that using people?  Sex between people can just be for the sake of sex you know.  Hell, I’m not in an open relationship and never have been, but I’ve had sex with probably a dozen women whose names I can’t recall.  We met on Tinder, had sex once or twice and never saw each other again.  As long as everyone…

No, but arranged marriages have a long, long history of abuse and patriarchal power.  In this case it sounds like a more modern version of the idea, but ultimately it’s still someone else telling someone who they will marry and have a sex with which is...troubling.

Sure...but...at the same time: arranged marriage is kinda...fucked up.  I get that there are cultural differences at play and all of that, but it’s a pretty problematic way to start a relationship.  Add in that he pretty clearly doesn’t seem interested in his arranged wife and their family is clearly going to dislike…

Who said that having an open relationship means falling in love with other people?  It can just be about sex with strangers from time to time.

Wasn’t the snap just for sentient life?  I don’t think we saw any non-sentient creatures die did we?

Maybe it is possible, maybe it isn’t.  Beyond that particular question however, is the fact that in the “Marvel Cinematic Universe” aka the thing this article is about, Thanos’ people can, in fact, travel faster than light.  For us, personally on Earth?  Yeah, probably a good idea, but not necessarily relevant to the…

White vans are virtually untraceable if you don’t have the license plates; they’re ubiquitous because they’re used by virtually every sort of service or maintenance group. What’s more, since it’s a van you can fit a lot into it without people seeing what it is and it’s relatively fuel efficient. It’s urban anonymity…

No one thinks that YouTube can stop every bad video from being uploaded, but it insists on using flawed algorithms to recommend content.

To be fair she (I think it was a woman that was hit) probably doesn’t have much of a case here overall.  Guarantee somewhere in the ticket’s fine print there is something about limited liability, etc. etc.  

At the same time, Logan was about a well-known character (Wolverine) and was at the tail end of a fairly successful series of action movies (X-Men Origins: Wolverine made 4th most of all the X-Men movies while The Wolverine made 5th).  Sure, it was an R-rated superhero movie, but the character was well-established and…
