Autonomous cars will actually give more freedom to more people. Just think, you’ll be able to text, watch a movie, get drunk and fall asleep while still getting to your destination in optimal time and no pesky law enforcement pulling you over asking why you were doing what you were doing.

Even a perfectly-attentive driver can’t see the pothole 5 cars ahead, or the brake lights on a car on the other side of a semi.

I would argue that your “solution” is more worthy of quotes than this one, as it’s proven itself invalid. It’s like the “solution” to systemic obesity being people don’t eat as much, or the “solution” to the opiates problem for people not to do drugs, or the “solution” to teenage pregnancy (or overpopulation) is for…

War criminal. Fuck him.

There’s a pretty rational economic reason why Americans tend to be reluctant to learn a second language. If you don’t already speak English, learning English as a second language tend to be large income premiums—good English skills is often a prerequisite for reaching higher earnings jobs in companies in many…

Extra credit for the trackball. Long live the trackball.

That’s great. But let’s ask Chevron about payments to paramilitary security forces all over the world. Payments to murderers like BRIMOB in Indonesia, paid to “quell” protesters. Chevron has always been a special kind of evil. I look at outreach like this as pernicious public relations of the Edward Bernays school. I…

They’ll try, but it’s an open question. In my interpretation of Mass Effect, this is a big analogy of what the Reapers are eventually trying to prevent. By forceably making each race post-physical (Each reaper ship is the combined intellect of millions of individuals of a race), the Reapers “clear out” the galaxy…

Don’t forget that they also live over 1,000 years unless killed, and there’s some hints that they flat-out can’t die of old age.

Great write-up, but you should mention that The Krogan have a Tribble problem. They breed explosively (and uncontrollably). Without being put in check there is almost no way to stop them from expanding to take over the whole galaxy.

Wrex: “Shepard.”

Even better is the Elcore and Hannar buddy cop comedy.

Wrex: Well, you look good. Ah, the benefits of a redundant nervous system.

If anyone wants to know: if you’re a Mass Effect fan, you’ll like Andromeda. Maybe it’ll be a bit disappointing and it looks kinda janky (though you get used to it), but it feels very much like the first Mass Effect game. In fact, it feels a heck of a whole lot like the Star Trek game that everyone’s dreamed of but…

Me after the first time I ended Secret of Mana.

All the Dark Souls cosplay I’ve seen, the armor proportions have been off. I guess everybody is at least 7 feet tall in the game.

Here is the best way to play BitCity:

You’re acting like Protestanism and Catholicism have driven your country into basically 2 separate countries.

Another fascinating story about EVE. I’ll likely never play it, but I do love reading about it.
