Nah, they're kids. When you get older yourself you'll realize that.

At the current rate, never. However, in this instance, it doesn't really matter because the killers were police, who have guns no matter what the civilian laws are.

Read Gary Taubes' column about the dismal state of science in nutrition in the Sunday NYT a week or two ago. Most of it (particularly in the past, things are slightly changing but not enough) isn't actual science as described by the best people dealing with the philosophy of science.

It's near enough a pseudo-science…

This is going to be an unpopular opinion, I'm sure, but I don't think 60fps belongs in anything besides twitch based games. If the action is moving fast, it works fine, but for some reason, every story driven game I've played that was running at 60fps was jarring for me.
I think 30/60fps should be an option you can…

Well, there's a big difference between gay content being relegated to a minor choice (kissing boys in Bully), and it being an intricate part of the storyline and character that can't be divorced from it (Ellie).

"But doesn't it occur to anyone behind these pranks how much damage they could be doing to people in the future who actually are experiencing this kind of discrimination or tragedy?"

In short, ignore any news articles about the benefits or otherwise of an individual food. The baseline findings on a healthy lifestyle haven't changed in decades: eat a varied diet with plenty of fruits and veg and unprocessed food, exercise, don't smoke, don't drink much. There have been essentially no reputable,…

Butter is just better. I cook almost exclusively with Kerry Irish gold butter. It's the full fat business for reals.

Ruh roh!

You could find out the story by watching it on YouTube but it is not the same experience as playing through the game by yourself when it's all brand new to you. You miss out on that connection with Joel and Ellie since you're just watching someone else play, and you lose a lot of the connection and atmosphere of the…

Can someone please explain the difference in feeding a horse or a cow to a big cat vs. a giraffe?

As someone who is deaf in one ear and has partial hearing loss in the other, the way this guy describes what he can hear is bang on. I don't think he's faking his hearing loss, I think he's exaggerating it though. As far as turning his head towards sound, I do the same thing on my deaf side sometimes depending on what…

I feel it's kind of insulting to say that they don't support a morally grey option because it'd be "too confusing" for the average gamer. What's the point of having a morality system if you know from the get-go you're only going to go with full good or full evil?

Ultimately, Fleming told me, they weren't able to dedicate the time and effort to making it work, because Sucker Punch's player data indicated the number of folks who would want to go grey is not big enough to warrant adding potential trouble for the rest. The absence of a middle path does not necessarily mean that…

Actually, atheism needn't include a lack of religion. There are actual atheist sects of Judaism, and I've heard it said that Buddhism doesn't imply a belief in God/Gods. Check out

It's not a non-believers job to prove something doesn't exist. Religious people are the ones making an affirmative statement and are thus burdened with the proof.

I'm sorry. I just don't know where to start with this, so I'll reduce your argument to this: I could believe in the toothfairy. I have no evidence of the toothfairy's existence. I don't need any. In fact, there is evidence that the toothfairy was nothing more than a parenting scheme to keep kids from acting up. But…

What makes a religion a “real" religion? Widespread acceptance? Then the university perpetrates the Appeal to Popularity fallacy. Is it determined by longevity? Then the university perpetrates the Appeal to Tradition fallacy. Neither popularity nor age confers validity or truthfulness, and it is reprehensible for an…

I really wasn't trying to be mean. I, myself, am a devout Pastafarian. May you be touched by his noodly appendage. :)
