Especially when it’s getting to the point in real life where people are arguing even the most basic concepts of the scientific method.

For those who see this, does the film go into any depth about the nature of the science and experiments that proves the afterlife or does it stay deliberately vague? I can’t imagine any scientific experiment that could prove this to mass satisfaction.

Watch the movie again

so it’s the protomolecule from Expanse?

Well in all fairness they have not destroyed anything. You are free to ignore them and enjoy the originals. I have managed to do this pretty well with the Star Wars prequels for example.

Seriously what’s the appropriate reason for a married person to go out for a meal alone with a member of the other sex

I got a sneak peak at the investigation form the Arkansas GOP recommends doctors use to comply with this law:

Whoever wrote that headline

He’s self-branded. He labeled himself as a “policy wonk” and by sheer repetition, people believed it over time. It’s the old “if you tell a lie often enough and keep repeating it, people start to believe it” deal.  

Paul Ryan’s reputation as the Republican’s “serious policy guy” seems to be entirely based on the fact that he wears a nice suit and takes himself very seriously. Nothing he has ever done has shown any indication that he is actually capable of creating any kind of actionable policy. Look at this healthcare fiasco and…

Did you catch the Jesus/Messiah reference in this image? Somebody is comparing the president to Jesus Christ - comparing a tacky, bigoted, sociopathic huckster/demagogue to the god of love, sacrifice and redemption.

Right? Don’t you get the feeling that he gave up TOO easily? - I mean, who says “OK, guys, pass this all in one go on the first try, otherwise we scrap the whole mission”? Somebody who never intended on launching the mission in the first place, methinks.

As far as the general population goes, I think Barack is not a very cool person; he’s probably around average. As far as presidents go, he is the coolest motherfucker ever to sit in the Oval Office.

I’m British, thankfully even the worst of my relatives voting intentions are either:

I tried really hard to be happy for those whose lives will be saved—literally saved—by the continuation of Obamacare.

I think it’s more of a stopped-clock rightness combined with boredom and wanting to go play golf, but hey, any glass of water in Hell is a good glass of water.

3-dimensional chess this is not.

Yeah, but let’s hope this abomination does not actually get passed, whatever the political benefits to the Democratic Party. It’s nothing like a normal healthcare bill, it’s a generous tax cut for the very wealthy, disguised as a healthcare bill. Hundreds of thousands of people will be ruined. And some, maybe a lot,…

I mean, TBH I have zero respect for the man - but if he really did think “shit, we’ve got nothing better than Obamacare but I can’t be held responsible for keeping it on -I know, let’s pin it on Ryan” that’s a pretty slick move. Game recognize game and all that.
