You do realize those two goals are not mutually exclusive. In fact, its quite the opposite, space exploration can help us develop technology that will help fix the earth.

Well, what should you actually do if you sing along a song like that? Just go ‘n-word’ when you reach the part in the song if you’re a white person and sing along normally if you’re black? That seems really convoluted tbh.

In my experience Ubisoft games generally run quite well? The only Ubisoft game that I have trouble with is Watch Dogs 2 because it apparently needs about 16 gigs of RAM to actually run smoothly.

Yes we all know that 15th century middle European peasants were famous for their globe trotting around the world. They would just hop on one of their horses and travel thousands of miles.

Well why not? That upper class lives in nice gated communities and they got enough money to purge proof their environment with elaborate defenses. A small inconvenience they gotta pay for the ability to hunt poor people for sport.

A few things.

Oh yeah, because covering up works so great with stopping objectification and sexual harassment. If only girls would wear something ‘modest’ then guys could keep their dicks under control. /sarcasm.

Lets be honest here, even if she was wearing a burqa she would still get comments about her tits. Because really, objectification has nothing to do with how much cleavage you can see.

Sure, you could see the beginnings of the problems we see today as far back as Reagan. But, while they were there, they weren’t crippling yet. A president like Clinton could still bridge the divide between Republicans and Democrats when he had to on many occasions. Newts best efforts to cripple Clinton failed for the…

Yeah but that was 20 years ago. 20 years ago the US wasn’t nearly as polarized as it is today. 20 years ago the Republican party had it share of loons, but it wasn’t dominated by the Tea Party idiots like today. Being a Republican then didn’t mean people automatically associated you with people like Ted Cruz or Donald…

Perhaps, I can’t comment on the accuracy of her statement. But I wouldn’t be surprised if it happened. America is a pretty polarized society and part of that means people cut contact with ‘the other side’.

Perhaps the radicalizing wouldn’t have happened if she hadn’t lost all her friends because of she came out as a conservative. People go to the internet and end up in these echo chambers of stupid exactly because they got no one to talk to in real life. And it feeds right into their ‘conservatives are the real victims’…

There also isn’t an intellectually wholesome belief system that includes the belief in nations, human life having intrinsically more value than that of an ant. You cannot incorporate science into a belief system that includes human exceptionalism, the notion that you somehow have a special connection to any given…

Make him some money? More like keeping the whole business afloat. It can’t be easy to keep your business simply operating when you are this small and have to compete with businesses that have marketing budgets that dwarf your entire games budget.

Has the load time between turns improved? Because that was the main issue that made the game unplayable for me.

Come on, PETA fights against the fur industry which is a niche industry serving a niche market. Its a celebrity cause. Not really that controversial. And yeah, I know, PETA is much worse than that, but they managed to keep their actually controversial aspects out of the public’s consciousness.

I agree that emotional arguments do have their place in this debate. But I disagree with the notion that an emotional argument is the only argument that should play a role in this. Because thats how it gets presented by these people. You disagree with me, then you don’t care about the experience of sexual assault…

Hah, right. Even if the artist has never done or said anything that offended someone somewhere at some point in time (and how would you know, given that its now fine to hold long dead artists from centuries ago to today’s standards), the artwork itself is easy to attack from all kinds of different angles. Incorporate…

Because in this day and age you can’t ask questions without the knee jerk idiot response amplified by a twitter storm of outrage.

You are talking about what ‘should’ be. But what should be is by definition theoretical. This world is concerned with ‘what is’, journalists in particular. After all, thats what sells papers and gets you ratings.
