Skepticism is important to science, but generally the conspiracy-mongers (like the anti-Vax community) demand far more skepticism of mainstream, evidence-based research than they do of far less likely, unsupported claims.

I for one am glad of it. Selling false cures as if they are medicine can do real harm.

“But no, most people do not go around changing their sexual fetishes to less acceptable ones because their old one was appropriated by the mainstream”

I’m not as educated on the distinction between kink and fetish. Either way, “everyone has a kink” doesn’t preclude those kinks from being socially unacceptable. If a kink is driven, at least in part, from it seeming forbidden, then making said kink more acceptable will also make it less desirable.

Setting aside the non-sexual elements of Furry fandom, I think part of the trouble is that the sexual element of Furryism is more-or-less a fetish, and thereby socially unacceptable by definition.

Most transaction fees are paid by the seller, not the buyer. I’m not sure if Steam tacked on an extra surcharge for bitcoin, but in most situations the tender system (credit card or whatnot) contractually requires that the merchant provide the exact same price to all tender types.

“Citing Bitcoin’s volatility and increasing processing fees”

Ah, but both of those are throwaway jokes, well in line with the comedy of the film. They could have similarly made a joke that referred to Valkyrie’s romantic background, but I’m not sure if those hoping for more representation would have seen that as a step forward or backward.

The graphics are still three-dimensional (even if the device isn’t stereoscopic), but yeah, it’s pretty silly.

It’d be fantastic, but it’s going to be nigh-impossible until Congress grows a backbone and impeaches him.

My least favorite thing about Black & Milds is the plastic cap that so frequently ends up left on the ground.

Yes, I’ve got one of those too. I just wish I could get a modern controller that had the clicky digital pad alongside all the other controls. Both the Neo Geo for PS and the PDP pad leave off some buttons.

So here’s one thing that I wish more controllers had in lieu of a 4-directional d-pad: a Neo-Geo style clicky slide pad.

You may remember this, but the commercials were the most immersive part of the story because they, for the most part, advertised products that were sold in our actual history as well.

It was originally Pumpkin Pie Spice rather than just Pumpkin Spice. It was a spice mixture that’s added to the pumpkin, not the pumpkin itself.

Does Jumpshot make any adjustment for seasonal differences in TV viewing habits? Defenders came out in August, while Daredevil’s seasons came out in April and March.

The emulator itself might be legal, but the ROMs aren’t; they’re almost certainly illegal, though the concept of a “backup copy” is somewhat arguable if the player owns the original game.

The Witcher series was also primarily developed in Poland, which has had an undervalued currency (as compared to USD) since about 2008 (http://www.economist.com/content/big-mac-index).

She has a knack for collaborating with some of the best music video directors in the industry.

Side note: have you played Diplomacy before?
