I’m getting a “what’s a truck?” vibe from Cruise’s comments there.

Years ago, working in investment, I looked into EA at a time when the stock had amazing potential, but a big part of that was because investors were clueless about the video game industry. Nearly everyone I talked to in finance, including sell side analysts who are supposed to know the companies under their coverage…

Well, who was it who said that the American poor think of themselves as just temporarily-embarrassed millionaires? It’s rather sad that people will put up with getting less if they are given the idea that they can get more, even if the requirements to actually get that more are far more restrictive than many believe.…

Prediction: some mysterious person/being is killing each of the slayers, one by one. Will be the big bad or working for him/her, maybe shockingly revealed to be a character from Buffy. This show’s slayer is the only one who survives, and must fight the big bad. Some magic stuff happens where the strength of all the…

Predicting your own failure is only valuable if you avoid that failure, not follow through on it. I can predict how people would react to me losing a game badly, but that doesn’t mean I’ve somehow won, no matter how much I yell stupid things about it.

Okay, that was pretty good. The Mighty So would be proud.

You can’t actually be a Republican and a Christian, it’s like saying you’re vegetarian as you bite into a hamburger. I mean Ezekiel 16:49 alone is a huge condemnation: the sins of Sodom (for which God murdered an entire city of people) are basically the defining characteristics of Republicans (arrogant, fat, and don’t…

Thanks, I knew there was something like this for the PS1. Always thought it would be great for RPGs but never actually got one.

So, a question for anyone familiar with these characters: is Black Bolt anything more than mouth-Cyclops?

As someone who grew up Mennonite, let me tell you that only a small, small percentage of them are what most people think. You’re thinking of Hutterites or the Amish. Most North American Mennonites are like a more passive version of small-town Americans: think of a cross between the Amish and rednecks on one end of a…

Also, isn’t the lobbying system just institutional bribery? It seems crazy to me that corporate control of the government is so normalized.

Research has been done for over 100 years now on workplace efficiency, and it shows over and over and over again that anything past 40 hours or so a week is worthless and usually harmful. If it’s a short-term increase, say you normally work 40 hours but need to stay longer for a few weeks for some special project or…

While I wish that element hadn’t been included - it was unnecessary and introduced an issue in pretty much the most nonsensical place to do so - people seem to be arguing about it as if qualifying what he did as rape necessitates a similar reaction to this show as they would to rape in real life. But this story is so…

And what if the inevitable reversing of the snapture involves time travel? Will the show air a year’s worth of episodes that just get erased by something that happens off screen?

Oh, did they get to the part where God murdered an entire city of people for being too fat, selfish, and not caring about poor people? I don’t imagine that’s a favourite part for the target audience.

Hmm, from the headline I thought there would be some sort of proof that the first season wasn’t entirely contained within David’s head, but it doesn’t seem there is. What with all the visual cues, and the nature of the source character (he’s called Legion for a reason), I still wonder if this will be a revelation…

Seems like you’re pretending to not get the joke as an excuse to complain. For what it’s worth I actually agree with your criticisms, but how you went about it just made you look stupid. If the strip’s problems are so strong they make you dumb, that’s more on you than them.

That’s the joke. Not sure how you couldn’t tell.

Actually, you posting this is more proof that you are stupid than smart.

Yeah, but they used to at least rationalize their horrific behavior by having some cause underlying it, now the only cause she has is her own ego. I’d like to think that may have been the point of the show, that those who rationalize horrific behavior are still doing horrific things and are just trying to justify…
