Am I the only one who thought of “practical” automatically in the sense of, practical to wear as cosplay but still be able to move?

Oh, I completely agree, choking to unconsciousness is definitely excessive to me, but I have certainly heard of it. Choking someone in general is kind of out there to me, but my point was that it’s actually a fairly common fetish, and I’ve been asked to choke a partner before, although never to unconsciousness. Full…

This isn’t really that far outside the norm in BDSM. The “against your will” part, in a real BDSM relationship, would be role playing and in reality consensual, and any “unconscious” play would also either be playacting or during sleep, with consent laid out beforehand. The choking is a very specific fetish some…

How about this criticism (in addition to the ones in the article, which don’t focus on religion): one of the tweets above asks what reason any married person would have to dine alone with someone of the opposite sex, ever. And the answer to that is simple: the same exact reasons a person would have to dine alone with…

There was more to the video, all of which struck me as awkward and odd. It was just bizarre. It was like, “Hey, I’m awesome, I didn’t move the bust of Martin Luther King Jr, and now here are all the black people I know.”

-Why robots and not VR? Because VR would be less physically menacing than what we’re seeing building up here. Plus, one of the big draws here seems to be the sex, which we’ve already seen explored in VR way too many times. This is supposed to be a visceral, real world.

No, they don’t. One has a charity that is rated quite highly, has an extremely high percentage of its funds go to charitable works (and by that, I mean extremely high compared to other reputable and highly rated charities), and has had no claims that the charity has ever, ever been used to enrich the candidate’s own…

I actually thought the nostrils were intentional, like the scar... done with a prosthetic, perhaps. In the books, Tyrion loses his nose at the same time he gets his scar, and I thought the nostrils on the cosplay were a nod to that. It almost looks like half the nose has been sliced off, or at least, it looks like…

BB guns made before a certain time (about 15 or 20 years ago, I think) all looked very real, and none had orange tips. I have several from that era that no longer work. I’ve only kept them around because I do a lot of live theater, and stage-quality prop weapons are hard to come by. Otherwise, they’re kept in a box…

To answer this question as honestly and forthrightly as possible...

Two things. First, she absolutely shouldn’t have been suspended over this. Her comments might have bordered on unsportsmanlike behavior, but just BARELY bordered on it. It sounded more like an analysis of why they lost, and disapproval of the other team’s tactics. Now, I can’t say I agree with her... even if that IS…

I also grew up in the 80s (I was 10 in 83, so right around these kids’ ages), and also in Indiana (down at the southern tip, bordering both Illinois and Kentucky, on the Ohio River). There is a car that I was bummed to not see here, that was hugely popular. My family had one, and in the small town where I grew up, I…

Actually, non-profit doesn’t automatically qualify an organization for protection under the fair use doctrine. If that were the case, the Satanic Church could get away with using Mickey Mouse in their advertising and the Scientologists could have Lex Luthor as their spokesman. Copyright doesn’t make distinction for…

Once again, considering video games are popular across all age groups and demographics, and Pokemon is a game that most 20 and 30 somethings grew up playing, and adding to the fact that the mechanics of the gameplay (wandering around your city) are designed around things adults can do and your average 5 year old…

They should feel bad for enjoying an updated (and adulted) version of a game they grew up on, which not only requires them to get out of the house, but when played correctly requires them to get their asses off the couch and go get some real exercise?

Perhaps they look so shitty because that’s literally the best a true 3-d hologram can actually be made to look in the SW universe. Clearly, it’s not any of the methods we use today, considering you can walk around the hologram and see it from behind. With our techniques, you see the image from the front (well, from…

Also all true. I’m in Indiana... we have, I think, a 3.4% income tax. And yes, you have to pay taxes on what you earn throughout the year in interest as well. That’s why I’m saying, the lottery website is NOT a good measure of what you’ll actually have after taxes. You need to figure in the difference. And seriously,…

“The Powerball website crunched the numbers for you so you can see what you’ll pay in both Federal and state taxes, depending on where you live, and depending on whether you take the lump sum or annuity.”

“If you buy somewhere between 200 and 300 different lottery tickets, you’re all but guaranteed to end up with at least one cash prize.”
