When people refer to children with immune system disorders in regards to vaccines, they don’t mean autoimmune disorders. It’s individuals who are immunodeficient, which means the recipient’s immune system is already shot and the vaccine would do no good. If the vaccine is a live vaccine, then it could even do harm. If…

I love the Swamps of Dagobah story. It is so gross but told so well.

You think it’s weird that there were white women fighting in Europe during WWII? Also, last I checked, ethnic Russians (i.e. the people from what used to be called Greater Russia) are white, too.

I know! I saw that and thought, man, I gotta check out this game! It made me absurdly happy.

I don’t deny that there is a great deal of pseudoscience out there, but I’m sure most people would agree that the CDC and NIH are reliable sources. The fact that the anti-vaccine people refuse to listen to actual sources who write things so the layman can understand them (again, government agencies and non-profit…

There is, but being wrongly informed has something of a connotation where the one operating on the information is not at fault. The amount of information out there about vaccines makes it hard for me to even imply that someone who is anti-vaccine is not at fault, especially since that movement is—at least in my…

The best/worst part is she doesn’t realize that she’s the one holding the real uninformed opinion. The people who are anti-vaccine tend to not know anything about what they’re talking about. I’d go on, but this stuff just makes me so angry for a great many reasons.

Since my original reply to you can’t be edited, I wanted to let you know that I realized too late that my original post might have been misinterpreted (I was joking that it was weird that some people didn’t kill their Sims instead of implying the people that did were weird). That meant that I thought you in your reply…

I feel like a lot of the people who are aghast at the Sim murder didn’t play the original one, where there wasn’t a whole lot you could actually do.

Yeah, I don’t really see the point of belaboring this stuff. I was more interested in the architecture and interior design parts of the Sims, and the Sims themselves were sort of afterthoughts. Like, the Sim murder was a couple one-off occurrences mostly out of curiosity, and I always felt badly when my Sims hated the…

Okay, so I’m going to give you context for my comment, which, for the record, was a joke.

The affairs included some with people who worked for him. That’s really not cool from an ethics standpoint.

Some people ...don’t torture their Sims?

Congrats on killing that thing at lvl 138. I was around 150-160 by the time I started trying to kill it in earnest. I decided to trawl the Chalice Dungeons for a while after I hit said wall, and I finally killed it last night at a genuinely obscene level because I remembered I hadn’t tried in a while (for reference,…

Yeah, I’m not sure how he thought anyone could take him seriously considering his username heavily implies he’s probably a Neo-Nazi.

Or Faulkner. It feels like it might be a little too tame for Faulkner, though.

Ehhh, I wouldn’t argue that Sinn Fein is really a one-issue party. Yeah, the internecine bullshit regarding reunification is always there, but aside from that, politically speaking, it is for sure a hell of a lot saner and better for NI than DUP, which is the party of wing nuts.

Calling Yuna a “carefree teenage girl” is mind-boggling to me, especially considering that the plot is kind of about her trying to find balance in her personal life versus public life while simultaneously feeling responsible for maintaining (and then maintaining) world peace. Paine and her male friends are also…

His only redeeming qualities are that he fights with a lightsaber and uses holy-based attacks. Otherwise he was going to be banished to the backbench due to my dislike of his personality. I’m still bitter over him snagging Robin Hood of all the possible Personae, since that choice fits the absolute least for his…

I’ve never been able to get into any of them. I was able to make it through a couple episodes of Parks and Rec and The Good Place, but I specifically quit Brooklyn 99 after two episodes, partially because I’ve never been a fan of Andy Samberg’s humor.
