I don’t think that’s how it works. If the ship is accelerating (which is a horrible way to produce artificial gravity), when the ship stops accelerating, everything in the ship would become still relative to the ship. To behave the way the video shows, the ship would have to decelerate (or technically accelerate in…

I think faithful character reproductions are great, but the real allure of cosplay is seeing people’s interpretation of a character as wrapped around who they are, both their body and their personality. So you absolutely shouldn’t let gender (or age, race, weight, height, number of extremities, personality flaws)…

First off, a robot that was supposed to believe it was human would be programmed to never question such a thing. The very idea that it weren’t human would be alien to it and it would dismiss it.

Secondly, we ARE robots. We’re just organic robots. We’re very complex machines simply reacting to a complex palette of…

“Hayao Miyazaki is still a fracking genius who won’t compromise his bad ass vision to spare the feelings of slacking artists.”

There, fixed that for you :)

If all that was required was to eat fewer calories, everyone who tried to diet would be skinny. Millions of people eat fewer calories, then they lose a little fat, their bodies freak out and kick their hunger into overdrive and they binge until the weight comes back on.

You have to address WHY people are overeating. …

Depends on how you do it. Maybe that statement is true for all diets?

So, how would you propose we identify someone as non-straight in the context of a battle?

Star Trek’s future arose from dystopia. There were dark times before the new enlightenment.

Someone’s salty! The DNC caused this victory when they campaigned against one of their own. Bernie would have eaten Trump alive.

You want to be pissed off, be pissed off at the DNC for being corrupt. Be pissed off at Hillary for exercising horrible judgement, repeatedly and without remorse. Be pissed off at…

And again, what’s important to most people isn’t necessarily accuracy as interpretation. This is why you can have gender bends and mashups. You can be any cosplay character regardless of what you look like. It is fantasy after all.

You’re simplifying things too much. Saying you can overcome innate instincts such as…

This post is so long, I thought I was on Jezebel! :D

It had never occurred to me before, but WW must have precognition. She isn’t moving fast enough to block the bullets by sight. In the scene where she saved the dude from getting shot, she would have only had like 10 milliseconds to see the bullet, react and move…

To me, cosplay is about your interpretation of the character. I know this is a huge controversy in the community, but there’s no reason why your body type has to have any bearing on your costume.

On the topic of getting in shape, I get the impression you have no idea what that entails. (Hitting the gym isn’t it, btw)…

And coffee tastes like ass.

The cabinet is like a weird mashup of 80's and 90's.. It’s like someone in the 90's was trying to go for an 80's look.... And the song feel like it was trying to go modern retro too. So bizarre.

No offense, but you’re working with outdated data. Fiber doesn’t just help with bowel movements. It is a prebiotic, which feeds our gut flora, which in turn produce beneficial compounds such as butyrate. Butyrate reduces colon cancer risk (and heart disease risk, blood pressure and cholesterol levels). Fiber also…

Electrocauterization when removing polyps causes a spark, which can ignite the gasses.

Honestly, though, the risk of death from other complications is still really high (1 in 1000)

Eating fiber doesn’t cause death by spontaneous colonic combustion, though. Colonoscopies are fatal in 1 in 1000 cases... thankfully most of them don’t involve fireworks out your anus, but when ‘death by butt stuff’ is in your obit, the details don’t really matter!

Conversely, if you eat enough fiber and abstain from…

One of the complications of colonoscopy is exploding colon because of fart gasses.... In case you needed another reason to refuse having a camera inserted into your rectum.

How does one go about being a craven idiot?

Speaking of craven behavior, one of the most cowardly things to do on the internet is to criticize, then bounce. You bashed my position, but didn’t give one of your own. One can only assume that you don’t HAVE a position, your position is too weak or morally reprehensible…

I really like her eye makeup but those prosthetic lips are disturbing and add nothing to the costume. She should leave those at home before she goes trick-or-treating unless she’s going for ‘uncanny valley robut.’

But, yeah, I didn’t think “Storm” when I saw her show she’s doing it wrong
