If you think Michael’s work has that much influence you are living in a very small bubble (and I like his work very much). Most of America doesn’t read the Root or care what he has to say.

Someone complaining about mill when Simic Flash dominates everything and Field of the Dead, Golos, Cavalcade and Risen Reef exists is...interesting.

This guy gets it

Love me some Ultimate Cap, this panel gets me every time

Congrats. 

But most chains constantly run deals for much, much less. 

I would like to point out that there are large parts of this country that do not have access to mom and pop pizza that is affordable, either because of distance or income level. And by affordable, I mean under ten dollars. Quite a few people only have access to the big three chains, Papa Johns, Pizza Hut, or…

I would be curious to see numbers on how many people actually pay for Netflix vs the total users. I currently have access to Netflix, Hulu, Amazon Prime Video, and Crunchyroll, all of which I am fortunate enough to have through shared accounts.

My understanding is that legalized prostitution increases sex trafficking for the same reason legalized marijuana in some states increases illegal marijuana production. You suddenly have a market where an illegal product can be passed off as legal. A lot easier to pass off an 18 year old being trafficked from the …

Common sense: Some people can’t afford either.

It did but the symbiote required new organic material to avoid feeding off it’s host. Thus the hunger.

Hopefully MTG Arena will give Hearthstone, etc a run for their money.

Unless you’re physically handicapped, I think it doesn’t add that much trouble. I generally don’t carry beer by the rings anyway, it’s pretty easy for a can to fall out. 

These are all honestly good questions only some of which are semi-addressed by the fiction. I’m pretty sure the Chief doesn’t get out of his armor from Halo 2 to the end of Halo 4. That’s like a little over 4 years (most of which is spent in cryo). Subjectively for the Chief it’s probably been a few weeks since he was…

His name is John-117 and in the novelization of the Fall of Reach (which may not be canon anymore) we see him as a boy.

If I’m remembering correctly the aggression was handled through hormone treatments and in some cases the Spartan IIIs would go into berserker rages during battle because of them. The Spartan IIs (the Master Chief’s generation) were generally more clinical, with the Master Chief being borderline sociopathic (I think…

This. Going out to eat for me usually means I go to or pick-up something from a fast food place. I rarely go to a sit down restaurant where tipping is required.

Your average non-managerial Federal worker (depending on where they work and what they do) makes about 25 dollars an hour. Not bad and certainly better than working retail or fast food but not exactly rolling in it either especially considering most live in high cost of living areas. Federal workers do generally get…

In my personal experience (purely anecdotal of course), it’d be about a third of messages. Most messages tend be sex jokes, praise the suns, or trying to get you to jump off a ledge. Then maybe a rare 10% are attempts to be helpful.
