What’s with the bizarre narrative? There was no quirk or “beating out”, Lego already has a hugely successful Star Wars license and is happy with the huge amount of sets they pump out just for that theme. They’ve turned down other sci-fi franchises before to avoid stepping on their own toes with competing themes. I…

Inquisition was super fucked up with its animations at several points in the game. I had an empty pair of pants walking around during a cutscene once.

I now want a Star Wars version called Secret Palpatine. It could be Republic vs Separatists and policy cards would be Sith ideology.

I’m Canadian (Montreal). From my perspective, he’s more centre than left. I think he’s good, but he could be better.

They need to play it straight, and have former CIA / NSA / FBI analysts come in to the oval office, and give Baldwin’s Trump a Presidential Briefing (nothing top secret) and then everyone turns to the camera and says “Mr. President, this seems to be the only way to get you to pay attention to what really matters. Live…

And yet he somehow escaped nomination for this:

Personally, I think many are just determined to ensure that the poorest and most disadvantaged never get anything. They see their taxes going to programs that benefit everyone, including those who don’t pay any tax, and instead of recognizing how fortunate they are, they instead want to ensure such people get nothing.

I’m thinking Harperite.

That’s just it — taxes can pay for things you would otherwise pay for anyway. It’s insane. Paying for health care through taxation is literally no different than paying for health care insurance, the money is just shifted from for-profit insurance companies (and their cut) to not-profit health care. Single payer is…

Yeah, I live in a country very super similar to Canada annnnd no one pays half their paycheck to federal taxes. No one. Any conservatives who claim they do are lying and willingly misrepresenting the way our progressive tax system works.

Or he’s just full of shit and pretending to be from Canada, because he just wanted an excuse to pop off on a successful democratic socialist country with some dumb talking points he heard over at Breitbart.

now that you mention it, this 100%

Also a current Canadian Socialist here: I am in full agreement with you. Somehow this person and their family grew up in our democratic socialist country, benefited from all that it gave them as a result, and then got mad once they found out how it was funded. This person also did not pay attention at school as the…

Current Canadian socialist here: I don’t lose half of my income to taxes. Nowhere near, actually. And I get health care taken care of, fully. And I don’t worry about which public school my kids go to because they’re all, more-or-less, pretty great. And on and on. I’m kind of pumped this guy moved to the States,…

Yes. A friend had two cats-one died leaving him with the 13 y/o female; he always thought he would get another and have 2 cats again. But when he brought home a young boy kitten, the older cat started to go downhill immediately—health things seemingly unrelated to the kitten— soooooooo, my husband and I (well, ok, I)…

It is a lovely sentiment but I really can’t approve of him giving her a dog. Dogs really shouldn’t be spontaneous gifts and you should always be 100% certain the person wants the dog and is capable of caring for it. A dog is not just for Christmas!

I would buy an any D&D book, erotic or not, if it was by the artist of Sunstone :D

I’m getting my PhD in a STEM field, but I was an English major in college. If I’d tried to use that kind of language in a comp lit essay, I would’ve been given an F and told to rewrite. My professors were always adamant that if you can’t state it simply, you’re not trying hard enough. (One would gives us huge topics…

Well, big words often are necessary to convey a precise concept—and apart from “mythopoetic,” none of the words in that sentence are particularly fancy. (“Pre-instantly overanalyzed” is complete bullshit as a phrase.) The big problem is that there are way, way too many ideas in there for one sentence. I’d rewrite it…

Note she said she was a feminist, countering with a more inclusive interpretation is not “destroying feminism” it is raising a counter point. Also given the elements of feminism that espouse control over sexuality like “Sex-Positive Feminism” it looks like your definition of feminism is particularly narrow sighted.
