There's nothing logical about that line of thinking…First of all, perspective? That makes no sense. You can't just throw out the word "perspective" and expect anyone to accept it. There's no perspective that causes you to lose sight of the bottom half of an object sitting on a flat plane. And in fact, on a flat earth

I think that's a result of bad S7 writing. They definitely made it look at the end of S6 like Spike was trying to get the chip removed, but when he gets his soul back instead, there's never any indication whether or not that was his intention all along. And, of course, when you think about it, it doesn't really make

I'm not saying Spike was incapable of love, obviously that's not true — I'm saying that as a vampire, he's a fundamentally evil being, and fundamentally evil beings don't go to a lot of trouble to be a better person. We saw several times in the show that the vampire-version of a person is the funhouse-mirror version

I feel like if there was video of me doing this exact thing, it would not be as sexy

To be honest I don't understand your question, nor do I understand what it has to do with the fact that I've seen with my own eyes the curvature of the earth.

You know, if you're going to drink something that tastes terrible but has alcohol, why not just buy bitters? They've got a high alcohol content, are safe to consume, legal to purchase at any age, and are guaranteed to taste just awful in large quantities, it's everything you're looking for

He's way older than 600! I don't think they ever determined how old he is, but the implication is that it's a four-digit number

Well, the lore of the show is that vampire's have no soul, and they're pure evil (which is why it's okay to go around slaying them). Improving yourself for the person you love is not something that a soulless creature should want to do.

Ah, the episode with a guest appearance by Back of Buffy's Head, yes

Yeah, I never forgave him for killing Jonathan. Frankly I would have preferred if it had gone the other way.

My problem with season 6 isn't that it's dark, per se, but that it takes so many characters in the wrong direction. Ending it with Spike getting his soul back was a huge blunder, way out of character. And, Hells Bells was S6 right? Because that was a series low point.

I feel like I'm being a little hard on you so I just want to say: I don't think you're a dummy. I believe that there's a certain brand of, for lack of a better word, cult, that tends to attract especially intelligent people — anti-vaxxers, Scientologists, and probably Flat Earthers all fall into that bucket, because I

Gravity is one of the best understood forces of the universe, Dave…just because you don't understand it doesn't mean it isn't widely understood. It's a bedrock principle of physics. You're doing your research at all the wrong websites.

Look, I'll tell you what. If you can make just one correct prediction — just one! — based on the flat earth model, and that the globe-earth model can't make accurately, then I will blow you.

Why do you point to simulations — which are by definition not real — when you could look at actual flight paths, which do take into account the curvature of the earth? You're cherry-picking things that fit the flat-earth narrative, but the things you're cherry-picking aren't even meaningful

Good Buffy Week tie-in. I feel bad for Riley, though…nobody was going to be able to follow Angel.

I'm definitely guilty of a morbid curiosity — not about the shape of the earth, which is one of the most thoroughly answered and understood questions of science imaginable, but that there are people so willing to reject even the things they can see with their own eyes.

It sounds like you're saying that a pilot flying east would somehow not account for the fact that the earth rotates on its axis, and thus overshoot their destination? I think what you're not understanding is that literally every functioning adult on the planet is WELL aware that it rotates on its axis, and they take

What I want to hear? Unlike you I'm not emotionally invested in the shape of the earth. I'm just vexed that anyone wants to re-litigate a question that was definitively answered THOUSANDS of years ago. You're rejecting not only rudimentary science, but also the ability of human beings to observe their surroundings. We
