Even then, I have a problem with it, because the coach and the Christian kids are going to notice who’s not attending those prayer meetings. It’s implied coercion.

Uh...religious zealots ruled the country. Pat Robertson was considered a viable presidential candidate. Kids don’t expect to be given everything in life. That’s grumpy old man talk. And BTW, the grumpy old men in 1985 said the same thing about the kids then. And 80’s music was terrible.

Wonderful, but since this rule DOES exist and just hasn’t been strictly enforced until thousands and thousands of people saw a leg get broken on an absolutely filthy and illegal post-season play, how do you feel about that instead of these hypothetical nonexistant rules?

No one is making anything up as they go along. They’re just finally enforcing rules that ALREADY EXIST.

Interesting. So you’re saying MLB suspended Utley because of some unwritten rule? Well that is simply blasphemous!

President Dewey favorited your Tweet

Unequally applied discipline my ass. He aimed for Tejada, injured him and should get suspended.

I’m nervous about the apparent choice to put Julia’s flashback-storyline from Magician King in the first series. It looks — based entirely off the first trailer, mind you — like they’re going for a “sex sells” route with her, which is a real disservice to her stories about ecstatic emotional highs and crippling…

We live in an era where we all carry around tiny glowing rectangles that can instantly answer almost any question we ask them and we still complain about how bored we are. It’s a constant of human nature.

I hated the exclusion of stats in TES5, but I think the exclusion of skills in this game is a really good idea! I hated not being able to hack a computer simply because my “science” skill was too low (which is all that skill did aside from some extra dialogue choices).

Except they divided by population numbers, so they got a weird map that has hotspots in the sparsely populated areas.

He didn’t say muslims = nazis he said muslims are to muslim extremists as germans are to nazis.

OK so I’m a little bored:

“A startup with no phone or mailing address just announced a major fusion breakthrough. Investors can drop sacks of money into a garbage can on the corner of 5th and Main.”

They were testing all manner of meats, with beef being one among many. From Dawn Kane’s thesis:

As much as I like the new Nolan 343 Guilty Spark impression, I still have absolutely no issue with Dinklage’s performance. He was given shit lines to say, and he said them as I expected a robot to say them; with just a hint of emotion. You can only do so much with bad/corny writing, and Dinklage’s deadpan delivery is…

But the thing that actually resolves everything is future-human-people-things hooking them up with a wormhole that allows Cooper to pass information back to Murphy. Which only has to do with love inasmuch as it’s an interaction between father and daughter. I just saw it as Amelia talking crap because she really wanted…
