What's the feeling around here about long-term emotional effects after having an abortion? From what I've seen (not that I've done in-depth research, I'll admit), it seems like it's a pretty hotly-contested issue, with both sides seeming pretty confident that they're right (like so many controversial issues). How do…

I'm a pretty staunch Xbox man, but last year (during a brief period when I thought my financial situation was a lot better than it was), I bought a PS3 literally just to play The Last of Us. Even though the PS3 I bought on eBay came with a collection of highly-rated games (Uncharted 1-3, Heavy Rain, Dark Souls,…

"That's why we have shows like Ghostbusters and don't have shows like Racistbuster."

I think the funniest part is how they both "square up" like this is gonna be a proper bout of fisticuffs, and then with perfect comedic timing, both go straight into slapping and hair-pulling like any old cat-fight.

Ah, I see. Yeah, I could see that.

I don't know enough about either After Effects or old movies to make a judgment for myself, so I don't really have a dog in this fight. But if you are right that it's modern footage that was doctored, where would they have gotten the footage?

So, the big philosophical question then becomes, does that mean this footage is fake, or just that the aging filters in After Effects have gotten really accurate?

Or maybe Leonard Nimoy!

There were some moments where he wasn't quite clicking, and it did sometimes seem like he was reading the copy for the first time, but he definitely pulled it all together in that last line.

I'd take Shatner any day (although I wish there was another alt by Nimoy). Wheaton's VO just makes me feel like he's doing a long introduction to a Mars-themed board game on Table Top.

Is it weird that my biggest takeaway from this story is my surprise at how many different songs have that exact length? (And that's just the ones in your iTunes).

I find it amusing that the geek in me instinctively reacts to this great friendship between Charles and Erik, even though the part of me that is in touch with reality knows these are only the actors playing them.

Wow, those were the best SNL promos I've ever seen!

Actor Richard Kind had a story about working as a waiter at some fancy place, which had Steak Tartar (raw) on the menu. So, whenever someone ordered that, he'd kinda jokingly say, "and how would you like that cooked?" If they laughed, that's how he'd know they knew what Tartar actually meant, and if they told him…

Very fascinating analysis, and I think you're just about spot-on. I'll nominate the name of "Self-Delusional Hypocrisy Meter." Call it the SDHM for short; the internet loves acronyms.

American progressive internet/social justice-y types (just as those in other parts of the world) tend to believe in taking the high road.

Yes, those people are screwed up, I'm not disagreeing with that. But it doesn't change the fact that we could be happy that a bad situation has turned into somebody leading an ostensibly healthier lifestyle. There are always going to be people who are cruel and look for ways to assert their superiority over other…

Okay, whatever, I give up. If you get a lot of patients who are depressed or cynical about the world, my unprofessional opinion is that negativity like this is probably the reason why.

Crap, I can't figure out how to edit posts in the new format, but what I meant was, why does it have to be instead of, not why doesn't it.

Instead of patting her on the back for something that may or may not be a positive thing, we should be talking about how cruelly she was treated and what to do about that.
