I understand the importance of building hype, but how can these contenders seriously think their announcement is so Kim-Kardashian-Breaking-the-Internet “hot” that they can have announcements to announce their upcoming announcement, and not look ridiculous. Asking people to tune in for “something big” only matters…

I think the difference make sense.

just eight weeks before E3, when George Lucas dropped a bombshell: instead of starring a generic bounty hunter, 1313 would be helmed by the iconic mercenary Boba Fett.

Maybe she will. That could be her thing. But then, why not say she’s stuck with a murderous psychopath? What’s a “thug” in this case? What differentiates a “thug” from any other multiple murderer?

A common stereotype of black people is that they have a manner of speech that is crude and non-grammatical. So when someone who holds strong stereotypical views of black people encounters a black person who speaks in full sentences and with good grammar, they may be inclined to compliment them on being very well…

No way. Here in the U.S., a “not guilty” verdict ends the case, for good, forever.

Oh yeah. It tasted exactly like Cinnamon Toast Crunch. It was grotesque.

A) Cash is taxed. Wait staff are expected to declare their cash tips on their tax returns. I'm not silly enough to expect that all or even most service workers scrupulously record and declare their cash tips, but I'm also not going to use a less convenient payment method for me for the principle purpose of helping…

I'd like to understand this better. It should have been fairly easy for a medical examiner to distinguish between a tear from a hand and a cut from a knife, especially when, you know, he removes her vagina from her body and preserves it (WTF!). So what was actually established for the jury?

I think I've been to the place mentioned in Rabbit LaRue's story. Everything about the description matches. The red vinyl, the overpriced rat pack drinks, the tiny stage, and especially the way-too-loud-for-the-tight-space band. The only thing is, that place still exists. To the best of my knowledge it has never…

"Project Veritas would never do anything that we believe would incite violence against police officers. Anyone suggesting otherwise is clearly unfamiliar with our body of work."

It's a problem that comes with the branding territory. If you try to brand yourself with a name that people would naturally want to use to describe a product like yours, you're going to be fighting this crap your entire corporate life and look like a huge douche nozzle for doing so.

Sadly, wives cannot legally accuse their husbands of rape or sexual assault in all states. Trust me on this. We have a LONG way to go. :-/

More people, including police and prosecutors have to be made aware of the changes in rape laws since that time.

Agreed. It's an absurd argument, which I tried to make clear, but it's a complicated one to rebut. Some studies have shown that having a gun in the home makes you 16x more likely to commit suicide by firearm as opposed to non-gun owners and only 60% as likely to choose some other means of committing suicide. So…

Theory on naive activist girl (Soso):

Bear in mind, if you use this in a debate, a lot of ink has been spilled trying to undermine papers like this. Here's a sampling of some counter-arguments you'd be likely to encounter:

Actually it did, and that's kind of the problem. It would be one thing if the game was wall-to-wall parody, but it gets broken up with Gray's extended periods of guilt and moralizing, and that totally messes with the narrative. One minute, Gray is agonizing over the poor choices he's made and the pain he's caused…

There's a reason she focuses on female villains and not just female characters. Most villains in games don't have much of an arc. They have a personality and they (usually) exist as something or someone you want to do violence against. That's fine. I once read that the average lifespan of an FPS enemy is about 6…

It varies from state to state, but if do something, intending to try and get someone killed, and the thing you're doing has the very real potential to cause that person's death, that's attempted murder even if the potential to cause death is not especially great. Think about a drive-by shooting in the middle of the…
