Saw her discussing this on her show from an older youtube clip. Sounded like she could not really understand the need to do any of it. She did not mention could not do it, just that she was puzzled as to the entire point of campaning. Maybe that's what they mean by "didn't play the game". She was "supposed" to do…

Thats not what he is saying. He knows it is the same dress. He is saying the pictures are different colors. You could make a blue and black dress appear any sort of odd colors given the lighting the camera or photoshop.

I think those things that you suggest are "old" and coming back have always been here and never went away. Its not a convergence of time, its just now. The more things change, the more they stay the same.

I don't know that BG were only supposed to have daughters generally. It seems a bit like that might have been the case but I dont remember anything explict about that. I did poke around in wikipedia and found "Jessica was ordered to bear only daughters to the Atreides" which to me would suggest that this was…

I never had that feeling. The reason specifically given for her need to bear a daughter was to marry her to a Harkonnen which would prevent the entire Atredies family from getting wiped out by the Harkonnens which the bene gesserit had forseen, and therefore losing valuable breeding lines and causing a major setback…

Well none of those things are coincidence, which I agree if they were, would make it hard to stomach. The kwizatz haderach and the fremen savior were part of the same religious dogma planted by the bene gesserit. The bene gesserit were also conducting their eugenics program on the noble families so it's logicial…

Wow take a chill pill. You are so caught up in politics you don't see reality. Reality is ISP's suck. Period. Full stop. That's now. That's happening. They have no competition and for most people in the United States there is only one option. They have no incentive to improve.

Your doing it wrong. This legislation is specifically enacted because of the wants of the people and shows how you can get the government to change. You or others agreeing with the change is a different topic.

According to wikipedia "A tontine /tɒntin/ is an investment plan for raising capital ... It combines features of a group annuity and a lottery." which sounds like much more then a bet. Legally I don't know if they are the same thing.

I think a tontine is actually more complicated then a bet, which is what this is. It involves dividend payouts and investments, etc.

I think its just medicine and our knowledge of biology and how fast its advancing that is the revolutionary breakthrough.

This is just a bet. If a Tontine was a bet then when the guy originally came up with the idea people wouldn't have named it after him.

I think you missed the point of it all. Also those statistics only apply if they not actively coming up with life prolonging procedures. All the statistics to date have been on people who did not have life prolonging procdures.

Frankly I don't get the need to qualify her role in the series. If she had only been the wife and had no input on the books she is still completely in the right on trying to defend her husbands legacy. I know for sure that if I had created something like that and died I would want my partner to be in control and…

Even if this were true, no one like losing money.

If a business does not have proper security procedures to stay on top of critical security updates you can only blame the business. If they don't take the proper measures for internal security you can only blame the business. Its a tiny bit more understandable for a company that would not traditionally considered a…

That's really hipster of you.

Actually you should get the oversize gardening hat. Heat stroke is no joke.

There were also a lot of "white/anglos" and Chinese lynched. It also sounds like the crowds that did the lynching were not exclusively white. At least in Los Angeles.

The average time people spend in any industry is 5 years.
