Presumably an Econ 102 student might point out that a relationship between increased wages and higher costs of goods is predicated on the fact that the cost of labor is included in the cost of goods produced. Since a UBI would not increase costs (an employer doesn’t pay the wages), there’s no imperative to pass on…

Well when confronted with such a well-reasoned argument, I suppose the evidence provided by virtually every other developed, Western nation is meaningless. You’ve finally found the key to unraveling progressive economic theory once and for all!

Paradox games can have that effect. Crusader Kings has some Risk-esque elements, but it’s really more of a dynasty management sim. Basically you’re trying to perpetuate your bloodline, and building your powerbase as you go along.

Is there any evidence that refugees from Islamic nations have the kind of numbers, organization and pull within European nations to enact or support anti-Semitic policy? Or is the worry that homeless Syrians will decide that they should assault some Jewish persons?

If Big Frank’s potato salad is so good, why does it have mayo in it, given that mayo in potato salad is both unethical and inhumane?

See, you say all that and all I can think is that I want to be a part of whatever union could get that contract, because apparently those motherfuckers can negotiate a CBA.

To be fair, a lot of people working for minimum wage wouldn’t be biting the hand that feeds them unless they were attacking government assistance programs.

“They took action to ask someone to pass a law. How about instead of looking to someone else to solve their problem, do something about finding ingredients for a poultice to help heal flogging wounds, or try to deal with situations where an overseer is literally beating people to death.”

So you’re saying that Lebron James used his time traveling dunks to go back in time and murder every known survivor of the plague?

My favorite from the early stages is probably “Get me Power”

Bad news: it’s not you!

A “horrendous” solution to an infrequent but nevertheless recently fatal issue would have been to ritually sacrifice a virgin at the start of every F1 race, to ensure the gods’ blessing.

The solution to not understanding American football is to stop watching a bad sport and start watching a good one instead. Like basketball. Or DOTA 2.

That doesn’t mean that much these days. Starcraft 2 is sitting at around 6 million units sold, roughly half of the sales of its predecessor, and less than half of what Diablo 3 delivered just on PC. Revenue from games like WoW, Overwatch and Hearthstone all exceed what SC2 and its expansions delivered with ease.…

I prefer “voluminously be-fetused”

StarCraft 2 hadn’t been a disaster, by any means, but it has failed to replace its predecessor as the RTS of choice for “esports” and other recent traditional RTS revivals have been met with middling receptions at best. Given all of that, I doubt Blizzard is even considering a Warcraft RTS revival.

It’s funny, because in a lot of other really good movies this version of M’Baku would have been the breakout character, and he totally is, but there’s also like 4 other awesome breakout characters as well!

Holy shit yes. Their version of the former “Man-Ape” and the Jabari in general is fucking rad as hell. He has an awesome look, and the general portrayal really does a great job of replacing a racist caricature with a really cool Neo-Luddite thing crossedwith some kind of African modernist aesthetic in the Jabari…

Because James Bond is a character defined by charisma and Idris Elba has acres of it? And he’s more physically imposing than Ejiofor.

He made his mistress have an abortion, no kids there.
