you know of course, that is an explicitly NON-libertarian sentiment. It's just socially conservative. Which probably doesn't make you feel as special, but puts you in saner company.

If they are following the plan of the books, then there will be two great episodes, then seven hundred more of middling to terrible quality when the producers realize they are sitting on a gold mine.

I'm happy you said "at the very least", because honestly, that's what Evangelion is: the very least. Visually great but thematically infantile, and horribly written. its hard to get any friend interested in the rich adult world of animation when so much publicly available criticism lauds nonsense like Evangelion.…

that's the ridiculous scheme of something awful. It makes you at some point feel like there is a genuine value in payment, that it confers some sort of value. But it's simply an elaborate way to scheme an audience. Their banning protocols are totally whimsical. It's probably this whimsy that keeps repeat payers come…

Pre- attacking people who haven't yet insulted you is perhaps the best way of indicating your total insecurity. well done little big man.

Strangely enough, you don't report this person as having said anything racist to you, but you cast this whole incident as being entirely about race.

Technically there could be no change in overall mass, but if each bird were to generate a downward pressure at exactly the same instant there would be a corresponding increase in measured weight. Weight is a measure of force exerted downwards, after all.

So the criteria for greatness is fun? That's some incisive art criticism there.

you know, posting angry messages regarding the nominated movies is fine, but when you haven't ACTUALLY SEEN THEM, it just makes you sound like a tool.

I'm going to make myself relatively unpopular here but in the interests of pursuing the type of intellectual rigor that most people reading this would claim to desire, I'm going to point out that there is a lot of inherent bias in this post (which yes, can be a fallacy).

As a student of literature and classics let me just say that I'm very pleased that a group of people whose technical skills the world holds as much more valuable than mine are finally catching up to what writers and poets have been writing for three thousand years. That other intelligences- gods, monsters, spirits or…
