It’s based on nothing but conjecture and gut feelings by marketing departments and execs.

At best, they have a questionable focus group to back this up.

I’ve been in these meetings.

Hey I’m not too happy about you being wrong either, that makes two of us.

No problem.

You seem to have made a statement about science saying life begins at conception.

It does no such thing. There is no single voice for science, and the general consensus, if that’s what you’re saying, also does not say that. Science says pregnancy begins at conception. Living sells in a blastocyst are…

I have no need to be kind, when people are spreading false information.

Or at any other time. If you want to make with the science, by all means do.

Is this really the sort of thing you want to announce beforehand?

These kinda work best when you blindside with them.

Wow there, are specific troll/harass accounts on Jezebel?

I really shouldn’t be surprised by that.

All living cells are a live. Cancer is alive.

You are bad at biology. Please go talk to someone with even an undergraduate degree.

Or fuck off, that too.

“I understand what you’re saying, and I don’t mean to be pedantic, but science views life as beginning at conception. A fetus is alive.”

No science does not view that.

I thought for a second you were making a pedantic biology thread but it’s obvious you’re not.

Fuck off.

“I hope you die in a fire.”

Exactly my point.

No you’re asking for “internet justice” and now you’re walking it back becaues someone(me) pointed out the form that will take.

Fuck off.

Why yes I’m sure a bunch of reddit rejects doxxing her and writing “I’m going to rape and kill you” on her car in pigs blood will make this situation better, and is surely justified based on her being an asshole for a TV show.

Yes there its literally no option left to proffesional writers that would involve writing something outside of two tropes.

Dear god that is a depressing statement on professional writers, isn’t it?

Problem identified: You are in Florida

All your other problems stem from there.

A TV show? With unbelievable characters?

SCRIPTED you say?

This is a worse revelation than Prince

More or less true. A lot of basic research is paid for by taxpayers and then essentially gifted to for-profit companies who take it the rest of the way. Medical companies spend far more on marketing than they do R&D.

Sell it to politicians and think tanks, almost certainly.

Don’t forget, we’re going to see a slew of “It’s about the bugs/ethics in heroic characterization/it’s poorly written” etc whines.

Bugs and shitty writing exist in every video game, but for *some reason* it’s more important when you happen to be complaining about LGBT representation and nowhere else.

This isn’t at all a bad response. The line of questioning is asking for precise details in breaking up large institutions, as if Bernie is going to be the regulator doing that, or as if it’s not possible to conceptualize/hasn’t been done.

It has.

As for people going to jail for fraud from the 2008 collapse, that’s…

Cops are massively more likely to be hit by a car than to be shot by a person who was willing to let themselves being pulled over.

So if cops are willing to risk their lives because they’re so scared of someone treating them like they treat others, that seems fitting.
