For commenters who’ve asked or are wondering, SB 813 / Justice For Victims Act is not retroactive, ETA will only apply to crimes committed after 1 January 2017.

Ethical theories differ, but I generally prefer consequentialist systems over ones that are more interested in the reason behind an action than that action’s impact. So, no, I’d say the moral and ethical implications are different, as the impact is clearly different. For instance, you could assault me for some reason,…

It isn’t about what people remember, the Party remembers. He’ll need their money for any office he wants to be elected to. I’m laughing my ass off at the GOP. They started “loyalty pledge” bullshit years ago. It started with Grover Norquist asking candidates to sign a “no new taxes” pledge, then the christo-fascist…

I’m a lady and a wrestling fan and my first thought was that I would never name a child that, for that very reason.

Or when the WWE had a tribute show fellowing Chris Benoit’s death only to learn shortly after it was aired that he had murdered his wife and son.

As a Lakers fan it would be the 2008 finals. That game 4 collapse still hurts.

While we do notice dropped frames the point in time we actually notice is after the fact. That’s human reaction times at play. A dropped frame is sometimes the same frame repeated or a black frame. Noticing that is the same as seeing hit markers pop up on the screen. If you had to press a button when you noticed a…

you perceiving a visual stimulus and you reacting to said stimulus are different things. also keep in mind audio related stimulus reaction times are faster, but still slower than 150ms.

You’d think Michael J. Fox would have better things to capture on Vine.

With the way the police have been handling murder investigations around the country, Chinatown could easily hold up.

Super Bowl XXXI was Green Bay (population 104,779) vs Foxboro (population 16,693).

I think she’s our generation’s Olivia Newton-John: Blond, successful, rich, sells a ton of music and records - but can you name more than one or two of her songs from her entire discography off the top of your head without hitting wikipedia? Not including Greese.

Ok— we’re obviously not debating mic skills. We were discussing biggest draws in UFC history. None of those guys sniff Conor’s mainstream & international draw (Chuck being closest but still not even close).

Oh, and forgot this: you can not only get Netflix and Hulu and Amazon Instant and HBO Now and all the rest on your laptop, you can also stream them on many tvs, most settop streaming boxes, a lot of dvd players, gaming consoles, even dvrs. College students may be watching stuff on tiny screens, but most people over…

I read that Christian Bale grabbed Russell and yelled at him to stop harassing Amy Adams on set. How much of an asshole do you have to be before you can say that two Batmans have laid hands on you?

This this this. Posted about this in the comments of another article. There is been no trial, there has been no verdict. People need to stop using those words.

The Court is NOT on Dr. Luke’s “side.” The Judge merely applied the law to the facts. As an attorney one of the hardest things to deal with are bad facts. They are what they are and we do our best to construe them most favorably to our clients but ultimately Judges have no discretion to choose a “side” they like. It’s…

I’m a Black Man Who Swims but, as much as I dig manatees, being in murky water and turning to find ANYTHING live and bigger than me, staring at me, would strike fear in my heart.
