Right, they don’t represent the whole party, but they are often the loudest, so those not strongly familiar with the party can easily characterize the entire party by their actions. Saying “well we’re not all like that” does exactly nothing to improve the situation and reeks of self-victimhood as a distraction.

I’m no fan of Hillary, but the Bernie Bros can be really brutal, and saying “don’t judge all of his supporters by the worst-behaving ones” sounds like something a republican would say of their own party.

Huh. I didn’t know it was possible for someone to exemplify the Dunning-Kruger Effect for all of reality, but here we are.

Thank you, came to post the same thing. Desmos is great, this Windows version doesn’t seem to add anything, and Desmos is web-based so there aren’t all the potential problems with doing what this post suggests. Seems rather irresponsible for them to suggest it, actually.

Bleh. What worked the most for me throughout the varying Digimon series was the development of the actual digimon - as their relationships developed, they evolved into new, advanced forms, and that sense of surprise and discovery was my favorite element. Simply rehashing the first incarnation completely destroys that,…

Development jobs are salaried, which generally means not getting paid anything for extra hours worked. No one is begging to work for free.

I had basically no awareness of this show until binge-watching all four previous seasons a week ago, and already want to watch it all again.

The writing for this episode was embarrassingly horrendous.

When I see the worst republicans behaving the worst, and then other republicans ignoring or even defending that behavior, I wonder how they can put up with terrible people representing them so terribly. Then I remember people like Maher exist (see also: Dawkins). I view those defending him about the same as…

What the fuck is that accent.

Hm, from your description it sounded like it was just switching aspect ratios of the same shot, but from the video it looks like it’s different viewpoints. Which makes me think almost no content will make real use of this, and the content that does will be awkward or annoying. Imagine the scene is a conversation…

Reversion to the mean - whatever factors the parents have that are materially different from average, the kid is more likely to be below the parents’ levels than above. Just like two 6' 4" parents probably won’t have a 7' kid.

Hm, I’ve always found comedies of errors annoying - they tend to be ridiculously contrived, pushing suspension of disbelief way past breaking, requiring way too convoluted events and often characters acting substantially stupider or at least more out of character than they normally do. But this show has do blatantly…

Wow that’s amazing! All my server’s Limsa has is a bunch of people RP-perving on each other and making it super uncomfortable to be there sometimes.

I’m not going to tell anyone what is and isn’t funny, it’s subjective, but I never understood how anyone found him to be at all funny. He has always just seemed like a giggly asshole who thinks that makes him better than most people. Everything I’ve seen him do has both a mean-spirited tinge and excessive smugness…

The best way to fix that problem is to legalize marijuana. If alcohol were illegal, those would be illegal distilleries instead.

I wish I could still find it, but I remember years ago seeing a graph that had lethality on the x-axis and addictability on the y-axis, then plotted various drugs, including alcohol. In the far upper right you had what you’d expect - heroine, etc. - but marijuana was relatively close to the origin point - very low in…

The word “barely” is clearly incorrect and the whole headline is unnecessarily derogatory. It fuels more negative reactionary behavior online - people calling him an idiot based on that glib, inaccurate summary. A real problem with communication these days is that, as we are exposed to a vastly higher number of…

The owners have a business plan based on running the sites into the ground, but it isn’t happening fast enough, so they had to more blatantly mess things up. An overhaul that only makes things worse seems a little obvious, but they didn’t get where they are by being smart so it wouldn’t make sense to expect them to…

It’s great you included Shadowbringers. I have yet to meet a player who says anything other than glowingly positive about the expansion - the consensus is that it was way beyond expectations, and may have set an impossible bar for future expansions.
