I think no one really understands the verify function of twitter, which exists purely to say “this person is who they say they are”. Its not an endorsement, its more a recognition that the person is in the public eye and you need to be able to distinguish between the real person’s tweets and a parody account. The guy…

Sometimes trying to lay it out like that just leads to getting gaslighted

Sorry, but this is a bad take. Ultimatums don’t work with chemical addictions, they just encourage the user to hide their problems. I’ve lost friends to alcohol. It’s horrible. The only thing that can get a user to stop using is for them to want to stop.

Considering a tempting offer for a few minutes and refusing it is, by definition, honest. As humans taking part in society, we’re often presented ethical choices that could make our life easier in one way or another. I never take the dishonest choice. I don’t think it’s fair to judge’s someone’s character from his…

Full crossovers are a conversation topic that comes up a lot in my industry (film and animation) and there’s a huge laundry list of reasons why to avoid it.

IQ tests are still widely used to judge intelligence, because IQ is the only measure scientists have that correlates highly to intelligence (g factor). IQ measures are not perfect, but they are very useful and continue to be widely used in social science and medicine that study.

To clarify on Ancient Magus’ Bride...the girl doesn’t have the power to drain life...her magic is powered by her lifespan...every single time she uses magic it shaves off her potential days to live.

No matter what you think of Pewdiepie and his actions, this is clear abuse of the takedown system. Campo Santo was more than happy to allow him to let’s play the game for hundreds of thousands of people, and for them to pretend it was a one way street where only Pewdiepie benefited is ridiculous. Campo Santo doesnt…

The point isn’t that he made a TAS that was faster than the record. The point is that he single handedly created the ability to TAS the game directly on console. This was a demonstration of brand new tools that he devoted his time to and is releasing to the community for free.

“simply believed I could not write that good” 

That motherfucker left, cousin.

Hey dumbass, the argument is not that it is a slippery slope. The argument is that you have a God-given, natural right to free expression of ideas. Don’t like it, then complain about it, as you so inarticulately and unpersuasively do here. But if you try to forcefully take it away, be prepared for a fight. We as…

Actually, this is likely Nebula, and they want someone with light skin, so they don’t need to change the makeup.

I’m sendin you to Jesus

Looks like a parody of destiny 2 to me, a few stickers thrown ontop of something that already existed ;)

Some football players get their cognitive training via committing to memory incredibly complicated thousand-page playbooks and remarkably intricate playcalling systems. Some football players are fancy dogs, and get their cognitive training by following little round balls with their eyes.

Well, what difference does that make? Anyone willing to throw someone they know that well under the bus probably isn’t a great friend. A troubled family member used my identity to sign up for utilities because they had destroyed their credit and then proceeded to default on a couple grand worth of bills.

It’s like my grandfather always told me...

Right, but that’s not apples to apples. Drinking more water makes more water pass through your body. It doesn’t speed up the rate of flushing of toxins because the water doesn’t control that - your kidneys do.
