Fortunately sounds like it was a concussion and he’ll be alright. Having suffered a concussion before, I wouldn’t be entirely shocked to see him make a brief appearance on Raw tonight depending on how he is feeling.

There are some slowed down videos going around that show that he bounced his head off the middle rope and it just slingshotted him temple first into the mat/apron area. Definitely ouch and could have been a lot worse, but it was reassuring to watch them last night because it removed a lot of my anxiety about his neck,…

So it was less the way the preorder/DLC was structured and more the fact that the content was super important to fans?

yep

Earlier this week, a lesbian was forced out of a bathroom by male police officers who didn’t think she looked like a woman.

This is the first I’m hearing of this? Wasn’t it a fairly typical pre order bonus before the compromise? Like you get the DLC free if you pre order and if you don’t you have to pay for it?

All I can say is that it is definitely true that the difficulty of Dark Souls turns off some of the audience who might otherwise be into it. I’m definitely part of that and will probably never buy one of the games despite recognizing that there is a lot I might like about them based solely on the reports I hear about…

Just a heads up, according to Snopes this actually hit FB last December. It was apparently posted by the FB page Urban Leak on December 19th and then reposted more recently during the controversy over HB2 in North Carolina. I think all of your points still stand, but bigoted idiots are going to try to use that fact to…

Well, that’s going to be an interesting lawsuit after Trump loses the election

Interesting. I visited a number of times circa say 2004-2005 with my ex because her best friend was at Kenyon and we went into the Cove on more than a few of those occasions. I guess the school is small enough that they could reasonably guess who is a student and who is a guest because they carded me like any other…

seconded

Just to make it a bit clearer for anyone who has never been to Kenyon, The Cove is or was a bar that is kind of on campus. I believe they leased the space from the college and was sort of official in that sense. The town surrounding Kenyon is incredibly small with just a few thousand residents, and it is basically an…

I’m pretty sure what she was trying to get at is that she doesn’t support the idea of a draft for anyone, regardless of gender. She wants a volunteer military where everyone is a willing, professional soldier

Also because they lost the marriage fight. And a lot of the big LGB advocacy groups have been very intentional about not fighting for trans issues for the past couple decades, as they feared that doing so could derail their campaign for gay marriage. Which has been a big sticking point for trans activists for a long…

That has already started happening. There are already videos circulating the internet of cops and security guards arguing with people about their genders, demanding ID and kicking them out of places

Ok. Educate me. Why would Chinese audiences identify an Ancient One played by an actor of Chinese descent as having a Tibetan origin but not identify Wong played by an actor of Chinese descent as having a Tibetan origin?

Nice long post, you’ve clearly got a lot of thoughts about the issue. Of course you didn’t bother to address my central point/question, which I believe calls into question much of what Cargill is saying. Here it is again:

Which isn’t the real reason they cast Tilda Swinton anyways. If they felt that having a Tibetan character, or recasting a Tibetan character as Chinese would be a problem with the Chinese Government, why the hell is the other Tibetan character in Dr. Strange, Wong, being played by an actor of Chinese descent (Benedict…

Yeah. Here’s why all of these justifications are an incredibly thin layer of extremely obvious bullshit:

The Ancient One isn’t the only major character of Tibetan descent in Dr. Strange comics. The primary supporting character, who has at least cameod in pretty much every story that has ever involved The Sorcerer…

I’m really looking forward to this. Mirror’s Edge was one of my favorite games of the previous generation. Badass female protagonist? Legitimately inventive gameplay? Yes please. The story wasn’t that great, but still an excellent game overall. Plus is was fun watching the proto-GamerGators get all upset that Faith…
