This is a very stupid view point for a variety of reasons. Children are legally distinct from adults because we do not consider them self reliant based on biological and sociological factors.

Evolution does not favor the strong, the fast, or the smart. Evolution is fundamentally about reproduction. If being weak, slow, and dumb means you live long enough to reproduce, then evolution favors the weak, slow, and dumb. If the great filter exists and humanity dies in nuclear fire it will be the weak, slow, and…

Rucker is selling knives door to door in the age of Amazon. His “product” is based on American bourgeois sensibilities that no longer dominate politics. Politicians abandoned decorum, centrism, and stability and were rewarded for it. It’s a brand new age but Rucker and people like him aren’t interested in changing.…

Many wealthy people do not understand or do not want to understand absolute and relative value. 273 Kelvin seems hot but relative to Earth it’s actually freezing. $100k tax bill seems like a lot but relative to a million in income it’s actually very little. Working 60 hours a week to make partner seems difficult but…

I think Marvel intends to try and pry Fantastic Four away from Fox. X-Men isn’t going anywhere. Fox is making bank off the X-Men and the property includes virtually every mutant character and story from the comics. I’m sure Marvel would like to get the X-Men back, but it isn’t in the cards. Marvel might as well get…

Congratulations, you completely missed the entire fucking point of this article.

I also felt it was a little crowded and that because it was crowded some scenes weren’t as artful as they could have been.

I thought it would be cool to have a Division style survival mode though it probably wouldn’t work as a full game. Set it in a Hive throne world or a Vex network, you’ve got to constantly search out light, potentially taking it from other guardians, to keep yourself and your ghost alive. Then, like the Division, the…

It’s like going to a bar to watch football. You aren’t going to the bar because it’s the ideal way to watch football, you go to the bar because you want to possibly socialize a little without needing to carry a conversation. And, if you do it regularly, you become a regular and it’s sort of a community. Watching a…

Is he saying that Trump has hired a ton of family units (ie, a mother, father, and child from the same family) or that Trump has hired people that are mothers, fathers or children?

This entire North Korea affair is hilarious. You have Pence channeling Dukakis, Schrodinger’s Carrier Group, a failed missile test, and Trump seemingly forgetting who Kim Jung Un is mid interview. I hope Rodman finds a way to interject himself into this.

We really need to ruthlessly shout down anyone that says “both sides are bad”. Neither Sanders nor Clinton would have nominated someone that opposes public education to be Secretary of Education. Or someone that doesn’t believe in climate change to the EPA. Or picked someone that believes in gay conversion therapy to…

Yep. I loot a container and find a really cool gun but I can’t equip it unless I go back to a load out station even though the item is in my inventory. It takes about 15 seconds to navigate planet to planet in a solar system in order to show a needless transition scene. There are cool things to scan everywhere, but…

You should enjoy yourself, just with a few caveats.

I’ve played the trial. The gameplay is on point. The shooting is a little floatier than Mass Effect 3, but that’s more than compensated for by the added mobility and revamped powers and power system. What I’ve played of the exploration was fun and they’ve done a good job of making you feel like an explorer on an alien…

Regardless of the luxuries you posses, you have every fucking right to complain about the cost of healthcare. The average US citizen pays $10k a year, $7k more than the average across the rest of the developed world. It’s idiotic to argue that people shouldn’t be complaining about this because they own a nice car or a…

I’ve seen this story before. Corporate needs to boost profits so they craft an initiative aimed at driving sales for profitable items. They craft sales goals that are often unrealistic. Usually this is the result of looking at average age/income for an area without considering median age, store location, or prior…

Yep, it’s how the status quo is enforced. Don’t speak out, it could hurt your career. You’ve got a good thing going, just let it go. He’ll get his just desserts, trust the system. I agree with you, but this isn’t the right time. It’s the message of the privileged, championing peace and quiet over justice and equality.

The problem with Cillizza is that he thinks he’s too smart to get played by politicians. But, he really isn’t.

Mainstream journalism is still living in a world in which the GOP is acting in good faith. That the GOP would use accusations of bias to silence criticism hasn’t penetrated the institutional culture at these outlets. So, when they are called biased or unfair, they respond by softening their approach.
