Well, I had thought about it, but ultimately there’s little point. You’re not actually carrying a conversation on in good faith. You constructed a straw man attack on the conversation being carried out in the thread, and refused to acknowledge that when pointed out. Your original point still remains irrelevant to the…

You can identify any class of people and point to bad actors within it. Does the mother who drowns her children serve as a strike against all mothers anywhere? Is the teenager who commits a school shooting representative of all teenagers? Because of these examples, should punitive measures and restrictions be applied…

Well, thank you, I appreciate that. I think you gave one of the best summaries of the folly of equating biological elements to the social conception of femaleness or womanhood that I’ve ever seen.

You just described yourself to a tee. It’s unfortunate that you don’t have enough self awareness to ever recognize that.

Honestly, I think the line about “wanting” to be just so much bullshit. So, it’s okay for cis women to advocate for equal rights, fair wages, freedom from gendered violence, etcetera, but when trans women (and men) start asking for rights, it’s now greedy and an example of “patriarchal learned behavior?” Fuck that…

Fuck all the way off.

Your question is disingenuous and irrelevant to the point Joel is making, so why should he bother catering to your straw man? Nothing he said leads to the conclusion you imply. Perhaps if you were to make an intellectually valid argument in good faith, he’d respond to that one? If you think I’m mistaken, then…

Size of the airport is irrelevant. Maximizing benefit to patrons of the space (i.e. travelers) is the relevant factor. Leaving aside any of the questions of the moral issue, from a purely practical standpoint, what logical reason would they have to select a vendor for that space that is open six days of the week,…

Uh, sure it is. The primary goal of leasing concession space in an airport should be to provide to people using that space. Leasing to a company that will be closed one day of the week (on one of the busiest days of travel) is not in alignment with that goal. 

Oh, I’m sure they’re just a 12 year old that’s gotten their first taste of internet freedom and is trying on a contrarian personality to get a rise out of everyone. I mean, surely, no adult is stupid enough to argue the points that they’re making...

Honestly, that “Crushing it” comment gave me a great laugh, given how deluded they are!

Oh my god, thanks for the best laugh I’ve had all day! The utter cluelessness you’re displaying is pretty damn hilarious! Crushing it? HAHAHAHA, bless your poor deluded heart! 

I might be mistaken, but I believe Foxx recused herself from involvement in the case to a conflict of interest

Yes to soft/chewy bacon! Crispy bacon is the worst!

I remember being ambivalent when I saw it in the theater. Didn’t hate it, didn’t love it, but it was something that stuck with me. The more I thought about it, the more I really grew to appreciate it. It’s now one of my favorite super hero movies. It has a level of substance that I think a lot of other ones lack.…

Weird, they had it a couple of weeks ago. I was able to pre-order it with the discount.

Huh, I just pre-ordered the steelbook version of AC Odyssey, and the prime discount still applied. Maybe it’s not universal across the board?

I look at it on a case by case basis. Is the game one I’m excited for and from a studio that I trust and respect? Yes, I’ll pre-order that, because I want to support the studio financially and encourage the ongoing development of titles that are of an interest to me. Otherwise, I’ll wait and pick up the title at a…

Is it just me, or are there no actual suggestions listed, just platforms? Whomp whomp...

I think Damon was just suggesting that that kind of response is telling someone something they already know, and that it shifts attention from where people’s attention should be in discussing these matters.
