I always had a soft spot for first person shooter. It’s so stupid it’s a masterpiece. And I liked how the ignored underappreciated female programer unleashed a video game character so powerful she took over the whole game AND defied how games work by killing people.

I think you make a good point, but I disagree. I, as just one poor soul worshiping at the alter of Dana Scully, want the old X Files. The one where the government is really menacing, but over Aliens. I want more episodes of the show I love beyond all other shows.

I used to work in a position that required me to interact with a lot of people in a short amount of time. My poor name-hating brain couldn’t keep up, so I just started addressing people as sir, ma’am, or miss. Saying “Sir, you have to sign in” rather than “Hey, you, with the shirt, you need to sign in” seemed the most…

I don’t think it causes it, as racism and sexism existed long before capitalism.

Well, they got in return an honest to goodness 1990s style Anderson not taking their shit.

I liked it because it just fell like the show never left. It wasn’t the greatest episode ever (I’ve always hated the mythology episodes), but it didn’t feel like pandering to fans and just felt like I was watching a mythology episode I’d skipped over in the past.

In some circumstances I’d agree with you. However, have you seen some of the escalators at tube stations? They are almost completely vertical and really high. If you want to walk up that, regardless of fitness, you are a braver human than me. I feel like escalators are used on the tube mostly where theres a…

Obviously that’s because they’re doing it the wrong way

Channel 4 is separate from the BBC. There are 3 main sources of TV in the UK. BBC is the main public broadcasting one. Because it is publicly funded it has no commercials. ITV and Channel 4 are funded by commercials but must broadcast things in “the public interest.” Think of it a bit like if the main channels in the…

I think the main thing that is forgotten about the film is the breathtaking visual aspects. I was never a fan of the plot. Besides the white warrior bits and the moralizing that was a bit heavy handed for my taste, there isn’t a lot that goes on for the length of the film. But in terms of visual imagery it is…

I’m a fan of this. If you want to wear a skirt, then wear that goddamn skirt regardless of gender or how feminine you feel. If the Scots can do it, so can Jaden Smith. I like how they didn’t try and make Jaden seem more fem.

Am I the only one who thinks this looks fun? I’m a huge fan of the original series, but I’ve been enjoying the reboot. It’s not ridiculous and camp in a 1960’s way, but maybe this will be ridiculous and camp in a 2016 way.

I don’t think you could do that from a legal point of view. If you have a legal document saying what you want done with your property after death, then I think making it legal for the government to seize it after your death opens a can of worms. Also problematic if you die middle aged and a have spouse, young kids, or…

How much of the racial divide is due to economic inequality? A larger proportion of older white adults are well off than their black or hispanic peers. If you have the money to help your kids out, then you have the money. If you don’t, then you don’t.

I don’t understand the appeal of this shit. Last I checked, my possession of a vagina didn’t make me a magical fairy creature that rendered me immune to normal human interaction. There’s no secret password to understanding women - it’s not like we’re space aliens or anything.

I don’t mind Christmas in November but Christmas started in September. It hasn’t ramped up to full speed till now, but even the petrol station started selling Christmas stuff in September. I may be an American living in the UK, but I don’t think anyone would disagree that selling mince pies in September is too soon.

I live in the UK. There is no Thanksgiving to fend off Christmas. Even Halloween is just a meer blip in the holiday radar. CHRISTMAS STUFF HAS BEEN ON SALE SINCE THE BEGINNING OF SEPTEMBER.

I’ve had similar issues of waking up because someone was watching me when going through difficult emotional times. Lived on the third floor, knew there was no chance someone was at my window, woke up knowing someone was there anyways. I never saw anything but I was too scared to look. However, I’m certain it was…

The Jews having horns is actually the result of a mistranslation. In translating the OT, the passage where Moses descended from Mount Sinai after speaking to God was translated as stating that Moses had a “horned” face. Modern translations using shining instead of horned. Medieval art took that translation and ran…

I find that people either love the prose or hate it. I personally love it and think that it is a very beautifully written book. But it’s not everyone’s cup of tea - and there’s nothing wrong with it.
