So, your answer is “I can’t identify anything amazing, so I’m going to throw out a stupidly invalid insult as though that’s not petulant idiocy”?

Well, let’s be clear, here, you said you were “not sure it’s possible to be fully employed in the entertainment industry if you refuse to work with people who are guilty of sexual exploitation”, so don’t talk about a “convenient line to draw” about him abusing his own kid—that’s YOU putting a line in out of the blue,…

Actually, that’s exactly the solution.

Can you point to what’s “amazing” about anything he’s done? I really don’t see anything special. Is it the rampant sexism? Is it the nebbishness? What is so special about his movies?

I just wrote an essay touching on this. As an old going back to college, I’m really stunned that we’re still having this discussion. I had to read a Woody Allen piece in the literature class I just took, and the entirety of my essay was basically: Fuck you. I mean, politely. But it was that short “play” about Death.…

Well, now, let’s be fair—I can totally see why they’d think that they’re out to kill whites. I mean, given how often a “hand” is confused with a “gun” by these kind of idiots people, it probably looks to them like they’re pointing guns right at them.

Can someone ELI5 why colleges should be doing these investigations at all, rather than the police? Don’t get me wrong: The police often suck. Our laws often suck (as evidenced by the link that link TheVagenius posted), too. But they’re accountable to the public at large. They’re accountable to the judiciary. They’re…

Are...are we going to talk about the “poop cake” thing?

This does nothing to solve anything, as far as I can see. I know from the links others have posted that Sweden claims that it worked great, but I didn’t see any real data there, at least not in the article being posted. The link being posted about Germany is likewise not data-driven, and speaks more to the problems of…

This isn’t really a “debate”. The correct answer is “no”. Any other answer is child abuse.

It seems developers of these linear games are struggling with the fact that they are split between two worlds. The “delivered narrative” world is where you have to add a great deal of content to make what you’re doing fair use—after all, you did nothing to contribute to the narrative itself.

I got married 4 years ago. We changed our names 2 years ago. I was the one who wanted to do the changing, mostly to signal unity and to avoid the problems of “She’s not really your wife, she’s just your girlfriend” bureaucratic a-holes in emergency contexts.

If by good, you mean just AN argument, I’d disagree. Cops don’t need to be perfect *every second*, only the seconds that count. As someone who works in a public service job, I understand the concern of constant watching being used as a club. I don’t care if they talk shit between calls, but I do care what they do and…

This article was super fascinating. It makes me wish there was a way to read the original article that they wanted her to change.

Well, it’s not vastly different than the Scorpion and the Frog...

Ahh, Windows. I don’t mean to be smarmy with what I’m about to say (I’m in the greys and no one will see it anyway. Besides, I’m sure there’s been dozens), but that’s pretty much why I switched to Linux.

I’m no expert in 3D modeling, but it looks to me like the “heist” scan has more detail than the other one. Which would seem to indicate a different scan, since you can’t add data. And I kinda feel like the idea that “it’s highly unlikely that two independent scans of the bust would match so closely” to be pretty…

It’s tough to trace how I learned to love the game types I love. Was it FFVII, or Parasite Eve, that made me realize I love RPGs, or is there some proto-game I played? I loved Zelda...maybe...

You’ve constructed quite the fantasy, Rancorr. One where you can say I said things I didn’t say (and that can’t reasonably be paraphrased from what I DID say, at least not until you started to be a dick), one where you get to be offended that, when you’re wrong as to matters of fact, it wasn’t presented in a way that…

QFE means either “Quoted for emphasis” or (considerbly less often) “Question for everyone”, at least in my experience. Neither of those make any sense in this context.
