Had not thought about that one for ages.

That one stuck out to me too. That said, I get it, and it does look like it probably would have.

Oh jeez. While I think the BBC is on the right path with this, and there are a lot of comedians from different cultures that I really like, all TG is saying is that comedy is more organic, and just taking a bunch of diverse people and throwing them together is not going to suddenly get you good diverse comedy. It does…

Why. He is pointing out that the guy will likely bolt for bigger money the following season. This becomes a rehab season where he can come away with a ring.

I have never understood this reasoning from fans. HE DOES NOT NEED TO EARN SOME SPECTATOR’S RESPECT BY MAKING IT HARDER ON HIMSELF TO EARN A RING. The vast majority of the big money comes from endorsements and other comp, NOT from the day to day game (though that is good too). OF COURSE he is going to go for the…

I don’t know. I liked the film more than I disliked it, and obviously more that “kinjalooksawful” did, but his points are not “wildly hyperbolic”. The film DOES start out with essentially a “yo moma” joke (I just found it funny anyway). And that whole section on the gambling world was WAY too long and mostly a waste.…

From the way things looked, I am going to guess that Pua and Hei Hei were initially going to be the two sidekicks throughout the journey, like Mushu and Cri-Kee or Meeko and Flit. But as the writing progressed, Maui is effectively the primary sidekick in Moana’s story, so things get crowded and someone had to go. At…

I would have to disagree. Humans have a different cognitive ability than other primates. And I would argue that we have evidence even from pre-history that humans used some sort of symbology to communicate (whether words, hand signals, or glyphs, or even cave paintings) that we do not have evidence of from other…

But that is exactly the point. Many who have looked at this scientifically question the rigor of the methodology and have suggested that the researchers around Koko were far too willing to see what they wanted to see. This happens all the time in science, which is why there is skepticism and peer review. There was…

Yes, but me imitating the sign for “ball” because I now know that means “ball” and I intend to say something about that ball is very different from Koko possibly learning the sign for “ball” simply as something humans like her to make and might make in relation to the ball and just as easily might make it because it…

This is a solid take. If everyone voted Green or Libertarian tomorrow, or something else for that matter, those GOP or Dem reps would be gone. Or if everyone started voting for a bunch of different parties we would have a congress split over half a dozen. It is up to the voters. It does not matter how much money…

I have owned cats and dogs. I can fully believe that Koko had a full range of emotions and responses and ways to communicate. I can ALSO believe that the sign language part was actually just imitating what she was seeing humans do, since it was not her native form of communication and something she observed seemed to…

I know it is just a video and not like being there, but this looks REALLY bad. The dinosaurs look rubbery and move jerkily, the jeep fall looks incredibly lame. I mean, Disney’s Indiana Jones ride is not perfect, but does this sort of thing MUCH better.

Fines will never stop the crowd, because they are not paying them. You want to stop it, every time it happens, give the other team a point.

No, the study outright left them off since California passed stricter laws. But removing California is silly since those same people just put more energy into skirting the laws anyway.

But that is also because, as Beth pointed out, the data does not count some places due to laws, which is ridiculous. No place on this Earth is more blue than California, and it still has a vast horde of anti-vaxers in its most liberal strongholds.

Yeah, I am still calling out this list for not outing California. How many other sites are not on here for the same reasons?

I am not so sure. When KD joined the Warriors it was rough going at first as the various powers learned to live with each other. It DID work, but the Warriors are unique in how they share the ball and managed to wedge KD in.

No. There is just a lot of people assuming it has. The suicide rate has been steadily increasing since 1999. Since Trump has only been in office for a little over a year, there are no real released data on these numbers after 2016. If you have other actual graphs to share, go ahead. Otherwise, insulting people to…

Dude, “grow a brain” yourself. The original poster takes the death of a truly great guy and tries to attach some dumb Trump complaint to it. I don’t like Trump either, but this is not related. In any way. And to specifically say Trump is the cause of a rise in suicides, when there actually IS no recent rise in…
