We've finally discovered the perfect candidate for a debate with Dave Sim.

Yeah. A very rich person who already acts as a power broker isn't an implausible candidate as the centre of a conspiracy, to be sure. I'm open to the idea of figures like that being involved in corruption (it's certainly been true often enough) and clandestine activities. It's the virtually-impossible nature of the…

The funny thing is that I've never heard of what you're describing until right this second and I don't doubt you at all. There are millions of views for the most niche, unfathomable stuff. How did they even come up with that idea in the first place?

Yeah, the ones who make actual shows (like the Epic Rap Battles of History guys), with planned-out content and editing and the intent to actually entertain, generally seem fine to me. The ones who just vomit their streams of consciousness into endless, mindlessly repetitive videos are of a different category.

Back at my last job, my client's younger siblings were always watching some Let's Play thing or another. I learned to appreciate it when they'd go with DanTDM, as he was far jollier, less irritating, and more professional than the other ones they'd watch. I'd never watch one of these things on my own, but I was…

I haven't had experience with people close to me going anti-Semitic in specific, but I have had a surprising amount of experience with people close to me getting caught up in adjacent conspiracy theories (NWO, 9/11 truth, some vague gibberish about George Soros; basically whatever Infowars is going on about in a given…

Dick also did one called "Frozen Journey" where a sleeper is partially awakened/unfrozen, but can't be moved or refrozen. The ship's computer tries to help him pass the time by replaying his nicer memories. It doesn't go well.

I tend to think better of Lucas than most people I see on comment boards. His obsession with the hero's journey might well have led him to think in terms of what exactly the hero is supposed to bring back in this particular case.

Putting that aside, isn't it still plural when talking about God?

There's a reading wherein Luke does exactly that in the climax of Return of the Jedi. If you see the Light side as characterized by serenity and the Dark Side as characterized by passion, you can then argue that Luke finds the synthesis of the two in appealing to his father's humanity instead of either killing him…

He could even safely include one of his stunts where he tries something himself if he investigates neurofeedback. It's not necessarily bleeding-edge, but it has the advantage of being something that's currently being used without necessarily being well-known.

Rushdie's prose is very literary, so to speak. He's not an obvious candidate for adaptation to film. Wasn't he supposedly writing a TV show a few years back?

I guess the standard advice would be that you'll feel better about women being attracted to you if and when you feel better about your body, but that sort of thing is a process that probably goes easier if it isn't forced ahead of its time. That being said, maybe it would be more immediately helpful to suspend…

No one knew. He died from a tragic case of milk before they hit it big.

Ah, those famous sheriffs that dress like the fucking Hamburglar! Clears it all right up.

These designs are fucking atrocious. A stripey shirt with a yellow star? A denim skirt with a few haphazard frog heads? The purse isn't too bad (though who the fuck are they trying to kid about the swastikas), but the other two are eyesores. If the stripey one isn't a deliberate Holocaust reference, then what the…

You've mentioned this before, and there's a part that I still don't quite get. Why would it put you off if a woman happened to like big guys? Is it that you think she has bad taste, or that you think she'd be going for you just because of how you look, or for another reason?

I waited a really long time before I started. I'm currently with the third person with whom I went on a date once I started. None of them found it all that shocking. It's far less of a barrier than I thought it would be.
