Just because people are interested doesn’t mean its a story. Just because other blogs write about your blog, doesn’t make it a story. You want to write a story about a guy receiving death threats, he doesn’t want to talk to you, probably because he doesn’t trust a Gawker brand, no surprise there, Nev Shulman…

Half way through the audio book and enjoying it so far. Rosario Dawson breathes a bit of life into the character that perhaps reading it doesn’t convey. So far Jaz has come across as quirky and a survivor, human in the way that a payoff makes every person sit up and listen.

Forbes contributors are not Forbes proper, they write opinion pieces like blogs that specifically say “not the opinion of Forbes.”

so readers certainly think it’s significant that the person claiming to be an EA employee who was attacked but isn’t an EA employee matters.

Except you wouldn’t be doing it at rush hour because you live 2 hours from your work location. This is why this whole article is absurd, there is no critical thinking going on. I worked with someone who lived 3 hours from her job, she was there before I was and I worked the earliest shift possible. If you live 2 - 3…

I think you are taking it too far. You are a journalist attempting to verify the identity of a person, you can’t. So you write a story painting them as a liar, when you just couldn’t verify the identity. If you can’t verify the identity of a person for a story, you just don’t do the story, you don’t make your failed…

That’s not a proper counter-argument, they can prove you are not Pope Francis, but probably not just someone who works in the Vatican.

But he has never revealed his real name, so that’s not really a counter-argument. He has represented himself as an EA employee under a pseudonym, so he received death threats as a known “employee” on twitter. He now has someone prying into his life trying to expose his identity, which as noted he has taken measures to…

I think people are taking the “zero tolerance policy” too literal. It doesn’t mean there is a policy written that says “zero tolerance” at the top. All of these players have contracts that allow them to be dropped for doing dumb stuff. The more this is clarified, the more wiggle room you create. Well this specific…

Don’t do this, if you can’t pick a wedding ring that your wife would like, your probably getting married too early. If you pick the wrong gold, you clearly don’t know your wife that well, if you can’t decide if they want a diamond encrusted sparkling mess, or a solitaire, your probably too early.

Burnam said that about torturing the Tardigrade, the engineer said it about hooking himself up. Burnam said it about letting the Tardigrade loose to get a nail or scale. The tall guy said it about bringing Burnam on the ship. No one ever told Picard or Riker, hey bro’s maybe you both shouldn’t take a shuttle to the…

That’s exactly my point. They are complaining about it, but its about as Star Trek as Star Trek can be. Shooting Burnam to investigate the mystery thing is no different then every time Riker and Picard investigated something unknown on a random planet.

You seem overly invested in this conversation. However if your answer to spending 6.5 hours, is to watch even one episode 3 times, that may not be as efficient. Again:

If you had a real point, you wouldn’t need to be extremely hyperbolic. It would be 6.5 hours to binge watch, and I don’t think anyone is saying you must, just that everything is easier to follow over 6.5 hours instead of 9-10 weeks. you can read through this very thread and see tons of people who clearly missed plot…

And even if she was correct, that does not excuse her actions in any single way and it certainly does not excuse her approach (assaulting her senior officer).

The solution in the pilot to “we can’t do a thing” is literally (I cannot stress enough this is really what happens) “shoot a person at the problem”, and they have a visually-good-looking action sequence of people flying through space at asteroids or something, with no backup plan or way out and with many problems.

Which Netflix original was 17 hours? I think this show is only 7-9 episodes at 45 minutes each.

I think its been made pretty clear that the spore drive will remain a skunk works project and by its very nature is banned technology. At some point in TNG they had the ability to time travel, but they didn’t keep the tech because its implications. The spore drive is the same idea, its implementation in torturing a…

Which is exactly the point ... Lorca is trying so hard to go off script and create something different that he is willing to bring in even the worse if they can advance his project. Never mind that while she did commit an act of treason she was right all along and had she been listened to it may have stopped the very…

This article shows that wrong information was produced by typically credible outlets in the wake of the shootings. Retractions don’t matter to anyone who has already read the article, you’re already down a slippery slope. Now Google has to monitor each website, make determinations on whats true on its own, remove…
