I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: as someone who has gotten jaded in a public service field after more than two decades fighting the same battles and having every seeming win turn out to be a stage-setting for doing it all over again with different participants, TLJ was the first time I found the character…

I always got the feeling that there was a vocal subset of fans who wanted the sequels to be Star Wars Expendables, with Luke and Han mowing down legions of Stormtroopers while trading ironic quips.

A lot of the complaints about this movie boil down to personal taste, but the one that always kills me is the laughable claim that it “ruins Luke’s character.”

It’s been almost 20 years since I played the game but I don’t recall the train being so bad. From memory you just had to avoid jumping while the train was turning?

I have a love/hate with the level. On one hand it’s a really cool level where you are jumping from one train to another. The planet design itself is awesome, even if it is pretty much a dump. The biggest problem is the way your character moves isn’t ideal for the level. It is the most reason why most people hate it.

I certainly hope so. I do worry, however, that for a certain type of person, people simply noticing them will be reward enough—and that that type of person will always be with us.

One hopes that most would-be terrorist groups have come to realize that killing a bunch of strangers who have nothing to do with their cause is not going to elicit much in the way of a sympathetic response. At this point we're basically left with factions driven by warped theologies (e.g. ISIS).

It's kind of striking to read Vidal's 2001 essay about McVeigh's execution. There are a lot of mentions of the Branch Davidians killed by the ATF, but basically no mention of the people who died in the Oklahoma City bombing. On one hand he's making a larger point about the relationship between government sponsored…

Hey. Guess what? in your effort to be a total snot, you completely missed the point I was getting to, that being, does being genetically disposed to dislike the HERB mean you won’t like the SPICE either? I don’t give a shit if you call both the herb and the seeds coriander. If I’m cooking it matters which is which.

It's not. Coriander are the seeds of Cilantro (which is the leaf) and they are used for different things in different ways. They also taste different. But it seemed reasonable to ask.

Because THOSE people DON'T have the cilantro-hating gene. See? Some people have the gene, some people don't. So it tastes different to different people. Kind of like color-blindness, but on your tongue.

I like bacon but I hate cilantro more.

The point is going over so many peoples head because they like cilantro. Dislike or hate of a food is much, much different from tasting something completely different from others. I don't like asparagus but would wager that it tastes similar to the both of us, and would most likely eat it if served in a dish. With…

So, apparently Mexico and much of Latin America is now part of the US? Sheesh.

I want to retract what I said, I didn't realize through all of this that it literally did taste like soup to some people. I though they were just being whiny. Apologies!

So it literally does taste like soup to you? Weirdness. Sorry for misunderstanding on this.

Both articles are from Jamie Condliffe, so my guess is that this is a personal issue.

And as a cilantro hater I can say that it doesn't matter what cilantro is added to, it ruins EVERYTHING for me.

Its like biting down on tin foil.

Most overrated chain of all time.
