Well, because like many, many candidates that the talking heads in the Democratic Party have prematurely deemed “electable” before, ya know, actually seeing whether the voters might like anything they have to say, Bloomberg does the things that these talking heads deem “important” quite well.

Like a preacher’s wife, Lara has hitched her star to that of her husband and his family, and she is a true believer—in Trump, in his vision. “I never knew her to say no a single time,” said Kellyanne Conway of Lara’s campaigning.

People really need to stop believing in this fantastical trope. All of those hippies and progressives became Reaganites in the 80s and are now Trumpists. Tom Cotton, Marco Rubio, Stephen Miller Laura Southern, and Milo Yiannopoulos are Gen Xers & Millenials and there are plenty of conservatives/far-right in those age…

Again, incorrect. The reason there are terrible stories about bullets jumping around inside people (with ARs and other little .22s) is because the bullet isn’t powerful enough to escape the body. It’s not some demon bullet, but simple physics.

My response as well. Not quite “Sir, this is an Arby’s. . .”, but

I do (to both). I have never hunted with an AR-15 because I own more accurate bolt-action rifles, but I know plenty of people who hunt with a semi-automatic rifle because that is all that they own. Most people don’t want to waste another $500 when they already have a tool that works fine for the job.

Thank you all very much for the responses. I really appreciate it, and doubly so playing tight to the vest with the reveals. I’d heard RDR was a great story, so I really wanted to savor it.

It’s times like these I sincerely wish someone had made a .gif version of Henry F. Potter hopping out of his wheelchair in the SNL “lost ending” to It’s a Wonderful Life.

Sincere question; having avoided spoilers for both games, and having just gotten back into console gaming (and just finished, respectively, Skyrim and Witcher 3), my next slated gaming projects were to be Red Dead Redemption (which I have made certain to be backwards-compatible) and Red Dead Redemption II. The closest…

Yeah, this is essentially what I said to one of my friends who was nonplussed that his concerns as a crime victim were ignored in the investigation and prosecution: you’re nonplussed because you’re under the impression that this is about you.

My little brother apparently overheats quickly, and when he overheats, he gets violently ill.

Okay, I don’t care who you are.

Respectfully, that isn’t what this is about. The question is whether the controlling organization has a legitimate, non-discriminatory reason for the gender disparity in pay. This might work if it were something like, say, stripping or sex work (in an alternate universe where sex work was treated with the respect it…

Trying to get through the “Heart of Stone” subplot to Witcher 3. Finished the regular game, which I loved, then went on to Toussaint, which I loved. This is kind of a slog, though, and there doesn’t seem to be any “You’re a really nice person, Shani, but I already picked Yen and do you know how many pieces she’d blow…

SFDebris once did a truly herculean analysis of the production of the Star Wars trilogy, and Chuck’s conclusion was that George Lucas almost certainly had some kind of undiagnosed, high-functioning form of autism.

Take Judy Sheindlin, better known Judge Judy. While campaigning for Bloomberg, the New York Times reported that the television presenter told rally-goers: “America probably still needs a little tweaking, it doesn’t need a revolution.”

. . .Are you my neighbor? Because I just want to say, when I came over to help you with your garbage, I just wanted to be neighborly. Sorry to have scared you.

In season one, the Protectorate took in Takeshi after he killed his father, and then took him down when he joined the Envoys. This new body also comes with canine genetics, making Takeshi the omega to the Envoys’ alpha wolf pack. When they say heel, he stops dead in his tracks.

Yeah, I can’t help but feel that the worst thing about the digital capture technology that Lucas pioneered with the prequels (the prequels make a lot more sense if you think of them as obligatory films Lucas had to make to do what he really wanted to do, which was to beta test a new generation of digital and…
