“Why would they become productive members of society again after being fired when they could just sit at home for 2 years?”

The full OED is not a gatekeeper it role is to describe the whole language both current an historical, then provide historical usages for context. It does include the historic usage of computers than predates the post World War II and involves rooms full of people doing arithmetic most often women. The word computer…

I was worried about the setting of Mass Effect back in the day so I was prepared to give them a pass on this one until the reviews came out.

All of those would work for me the the grind is the big one, I can handle the others but if I wanted to grind in games I would have kept on playing WOW ( and also probably skipped having kids)

Failure is sometimes the result of going big and that should not be discouraged if we want game to be more than comfort food.

Learning marketable skill is one of the key recruitment benefits for military service getting rid of that would basically destroy the military. Also are you going to put contractors on submarines and other deployment scenarios where maintaining military discipline is essential?  

I cant believe nobody in this thread has mentioned Wrex, the fact that they had to allow the option form him to bed dead in the sequels should not be held against.

Could be as simple as a wine that does not mention it.

There are if 500 students at the school, it’s almost impossible to believe there isn’t a rapist.

It is closer to a crisis that few people expected happened, the only people with a plan that could be adapted where the neocons led by Chaney. Every stupid decision flows from there either to justify or defend results of previous decisions or from simple momentum to keep going with a plan. None of this absolves Bush…

Doesn’t this also provide more cover for the shooter? For you know ... when the good guy with a gun comes for him. 

You must be the only other person who liked rebellion, I still fire it up every year or two.

Yeah cause people with disabilities love having extra paper work and expense. Most people get pissy just renewing their drivers license 

The reason why age is a bigger problem for Biden than Trump is younger than most of his voters vs Biden who is older, whiter, straighter and more male than most of his voters.

I originally read this as a Ru-Paul style drag race. 

Most people do think this could happen to them, that does not mean its not a crime. Would you feel different it was a nanny/babysitter who did the same thing?
