“After all, movie studios utilize labor to create films, and the people who create those movies deserve money in exchange (the overpaid executives involved, perhaps less so).” Emphasis mine. I find this unneeded and it comes off as bitter. Why not call out the overpaid actors or directors? Why is just the executives?…

Because other parties are never indicted for campaign fraud...

It is quaint how you say that this information is publicly available so it shouldn’t be considered doxxing. Yet, most of the things like addresses and phone numbers are publicly available and freely given by the “owners” of said information. This is a disgusting “guide” you have created here and it is in many ways way…

I Believe you are mistaken about how wars were actually fought in those theaters. Much of the fighting happened in cities not dirt roads with IEDs. The Syrian rebels were able to use their small arms to secure military grade hardware. And your remark about United States military knowing how to win a guerilla war, that…

This is not entirely true. First, the military would have to stomach fighting their fellow Americans. Second, there is plenty of evidence to suggest that a well armed resistance group can do very well against a fully armed military: Vietnam, Afghanistan, and most recently Syria.

I love video games and I just spent an hour shooting things in BL2, but is it so far fetched to imagine that violent media doesn’t have an effect on people? If people are condemning Stranger Things for how often it depicts smoking as being a danger for impressional young minds, why is discussion video games’ influence…

I believe you’re incorrect as HIPAA requires informed consent which sounds like they received and the data is not linked to an individual.

You know a ton is different than a tonne, right? The source article states the cow is 1.4 tonnes which is much different than your stated 1.4 tons.

It is terrible this man was killed while trying to help. What I don’t understand is the salacious headline that makes it sound like he was kill by the stranded motorist, possibly because he was black.

This really isn’t how composting works. Composting requires air circulation and management so the organisms can break down the material. The volume of material being thrown away after a meal would indicate that this is not something that can be done easily on site. Does Austin have good commercial composting services? …

If you don't get your insurance through your employer then it can be a huge problem. My wife is a veterinarian but had to find her own insurance. For her and my daughter it it cost $900 a month and the insurance wouldn't pay anything until $14k was paid by my wife. You should actually look into the reality of the…

I apologize I can’t find the full study at the moment (it took me quite some time originally), but I have the abstract which describes the conclusion. http://annals.org/aim/fullarticle/2595892/firearm-acquisition-without-background-checks-results-national-survey

Thank you, I am now curious as to why the article you link says 40% when the study from Harvard says it is 22%.

I would be interested in knowing your source on how many sales you propose aren’t done with a background check when it is available. I am also curious to hear how many of those situations led to mass shootings.

The stream has 9k people viewing it right now? The stream has had over 1 Million views total? They have only raised $5k? Seems everyone is upset about cutting funding to PBS, but if everyone who tuned in donated $1 the funding cut wouldn’t be such a big deal. Looks like a perfect example of people being outraged but…

The thing that struck me the most is the name “thecatamites.” Any other Latinists have Catullus 16 flashbacks?

This is so wild. Just last night I had a desire to hear this song and watched this very video. I was amazed at Keith Moon’s terrible technique on the drums and spent an hour watching him play. He was a madman.

The gentleman is a PhD in Roman History so I would generally side with him when it comes to facts unless you also have credentials. Also you should note the time period he is referring to in his podcast. You would then realize that Egypt was part of the Eastern Empire and therefore not under Rome’s control.
