I love your stuff, Gita.  This piece was excellent.

I just bought a 2018 Cayman S.  I do miss the sound of the 6 cylinder, but the performance on the turbo 4 is undeniable.  

I really enjoyed this piece.  

The inability to stop behavior in the face of repeated adverse consequences. Yeah, I think that qualifies.

This was a reasonable argument right up until the last sentence. You made some valid points about the definition of maturity and what you believe “true maturity” is. But I don’t recall calling anyone better than anyone else. I made two points: 1) his decision to be more inclusive to younger viewers was his to make,…

except continuing to act like a teenager when you’ve grown into an adult, just to keep your pre-teen viewers, is acting.  

uh, looking at the big picture and making a business decision that will benefit you is being mature. As opposed to say, continuing to play a roll you don’t believe in to satisfy a toxic community so you can maintain your reddit cred.

That didn’t stop those people from making the Calvin peeing meme stickers.  That’s a slap in the face to Waterston’s legacy.  I fail to see how creating a tribute, properly crediting the inspiration, and not selling the proceeds constitute a slap in the face.  Also, its damn good art, that I believe BW would love it.  

Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.  When Johnny Depp explain Heel/Toe braking and they show a close up of his feet not doing Heel/Toe braking.

Transformers. That scene where Fox checks out the engine and compliments his “high rise double pump carburetor.” Yeah, thats not what that was.  Definitely not a high rise.

Are you saying this term should never be used, because it implies a lesser crime? Because the definition is literally “sexual intercourse with a minor.”

I still can’t believe they got a doctor to do this.

“so this is small potatoes for a lot of things out there. (I mean, we’re still using the name Redskins for crying out loud.)”

It really is the height of hubris to look at a multi-year Grand Champion, and second guess his strategy.

I have to admit, I am shocked to hear this from a game dev.  Although it does look good, this game plays like hot garbage.

Interesting. I’m not sure I totally agree with you about conscription being limited, but obviously the draft notice aspect of the movie is hogwash. Thanks for answering honestly.

If there were any good cops, there wouldn’t be any bad cops.

There are birds that replace other birds nests and replace one or all of the eggs with their own.  Leaving the eggs to be raised by the nest owner who are conned into thinking its one of their own.

Interesting point. But didn’t the feudal systems employ levy troops? My understanding was levy troops were mostly conscript labour. What is the distinction? Is it that the Dukes and Counts were doing the conscripting on behalf of leige lords?
