One of the things I like about FFXIV is that their “random dungeon” finder options include and incentivize doing older raids and quest dungeons, and you get level synced to the content so it's not a complete joke.

As a former WoW player and new FF14 player, it still blows my mind that healers deal any damage at all.

I agree that this is overreach, but I feel like the stated reason for this is actually a significant issue with at-home repairs. How many people are actually properly disposing of the chemicals involved in their car repairs? Oil, brake fluid, etc. are all really shitty things to not dispose of properly. Jason engages…

Given our country’s consistent failure to live up to the high ideals the flag supposedly represents, perhaps we should reconsider celebrating the flag in general. We’d likely gt more done if we weren’t constantly competing to offer obeisance to empty symbols.

Why couldn’t it be both? There’s no doubt that this was a campaign stop, but Buttigieg’s disregard for the well-being of children in favor of his political ambitions was even more naked than that of his competitors. I think that demonstrates both a failure of empathy, and also a failure of intellect. Optics matter, nee…

Decriminalizing border crossing doesn’t mean our borders would be open, you could still require work visas, operate ports of entry, and deport people if necessary, it would just mean that we wouldn’t assess criminal penalties to those who cross the border.

Because it causes no harm? A person who crosses the border to obtain employment or join family, etc. does no harm to the interests of this country or her citizens. A person who crosses the border as part of a criminal enterprise (e.g. drug and/or human trafficking) is already committing a crime and should be…

You wish we’d paid more attention to electability, but in 2015 if you’d said that an old, avowed Socialist Jewish guy from New England was more electable than Hillary Clinton, no one would have bought that. She was the establishment, electable candidate, regardless of her baggage, because electability is a myth. It’s…

No part of what you just said is true.

Why is there any need for more border security then we already have? Statistics show quite clearly that unauthorized border crossings are at an all-time low. Most weapons in America are purchased legally, so gun-running isn’t an issue. Drugs could theoretically be a problem, but cartels don’t move their cargo over the…

It’s an indictment of US health care in general, and mental health care in particular, that people feel attracted to Miracle Mineral Solution and Lupron and the like.

I’ve never understood what the vaccine conspiracy is supposed to achieve. Pharma companies make money selling medicines. People who get sick less buy less medicine. If anything you would expect the exact opposite conspiracy.  And yet here a candidate for president is "fine people on both sides"-ing this shit.

So I doubt color is that important to you, but you could try adding a little bit of blue food coloring. I’ve done it for buttercreams that needed to be white.

Isn’t Paleo mayo just...mayo? I find that inexplicably infuriating. It’s like when assholes starting calling chicken stock “bone broth”.

So you would be cool if there were security cameras in your workplace bathrooms, provided they couldn’t catch a glimpse of your genitals?

I struggle to think of anything more serious that doesn't land him in actual legal trouble.

The entire premise of the article is based on an understanding of those points, with the knowledge that feeling allegiance toward a for-profit corporation is lunacy. The further conclusion is that effectively donating some of your earned income to such a corporation because of this “allegiance” is doubly ridiculous.…

I feel like he doesn't understand it's a prop from a movie.

“Supporting traditional marriage” is de facto discriminatory against gay people. Saying that it’s not homophobic is like saying that being against school integration isn’t racist, but rather that it’s just “supporting traditional schooling.”

Jehovah’s Witnesses also have some weird medical restrictions, though, like no blood transfusions, right? It’s not exactly great to be one either.
