I would imagine it's just familiarity. Too bad we don't have an ancient Roman to use as a control, they wrote in all caps quite often. Sometimes I imagine Latin monuments and manuscripts yelling at us from the past.

Hopefully right to repair legislation can be worded to cover things like this. If you buy a vehicle you should be buying every hardware and software component on it and have the right to modify them as you see fit. It will take legislation passing, someone hacking their car seats, the car getting bricked then…

There is no danger to visitors, child or adult, in the prison system. If you’re lucky enough to actually see your loved one rather than communicate via video you will still be separated by bulletproof glass and interact under the eyes of COs.

Kanye straight said he learned his antisemitism from Cube.

A month or two ago Kanye himself published a video wherein he did almost exactly what is described here, showing people hardcore porn on his phone while saying that one of the Adidas people had the same accent as one of the actors. He also says that he's "The King of Culture" about ten times in different tones of…

I like the argument that a dog toy will somehow confuse children into drinking whiskey. Anyone with that kind of reach should be a boxer.

For a comedy having a character start off one way, question themselves and act different, then eventually learn they were fine the way they were, is an acceptable character arc.

Please God, let this fail. Fail miserably. Cameron has displayed hubris and must be destroyed when he is on the verge of his greatest triumph as punishment. Probably addressing the wrong deity for this, let’s try again.

I support any reason for people to bitch at Drake.

“Pay in lieu of notice" isn't uncommon, especially with mass layoffs. I fail to see how this is different from other companies. Lots of other stuff, yes, but not this.

My personal belief, for entirely self-serving reasons, is that he didn't let his bigot demons control him until after filming all the Mad Max movies so they're fine.

No, you’d be fine in Heaven. Thomas Aquinas, a 13th century theologian and capital ‘S’ Saint, in his Summa Theologica explains how chief among the joys of those in Paradise is the ability to witness the torments of those suffering in the Abyss below. So merely wanting to see them turned away from Heaven would be the…

Yeah there’s a big difference between someone using an issue they have as an excuse for their actions or explaining their actions in terms of that issue. The most obvious difference being that the second person commits to changing. “I’m a drunk and I can’t help myself” is an excuse while “I have a drinking problem…

We should probably reevaluate how we treat low-level crime before we apply that model to other areas. Otherwise we’ll have police planting documents, falsifying evidence of financial crimes and being involved in crimes themselves. Just like they are with drugs.

Ok, you’re the one trying to psychoanalyze private individuals from their public faces, with one of those people long dead. That’s impossible and unverifiable. Just bitching about people you don’t like, basically.

Just teach them to be good bullshitters rather than the equivalent of a lying child and I'll be happy. Or maybe you're just not a good enough teacher? You know what they say about those that teach...

Reducing complicated personalities and political events to who sits at whose lunch table is a bit childish, don't you think? So if the cool kids had been Republicans those two would have been Democrats? And at what point ever have the Democrats been cool?

That is treating your audience like children and making a film like designing a kindergarten level morality lesson. If you have to explain to your audience that Nazis were also humans, but were still evil so don’t feel too bad for them, then your audience is children or morons.

That’s not the point they're making. People can be similarly bad but have entirely different personalities and reasons for acting in such a way.
