Sorry, I'm not playing your ridiculous semantics game any longer. Anyone with a brain understands what you are saying is asinine and no amount of tantrum throwing about feelings will change that.

Then it was a misunderstanding. I'm not sure how since I have been incredibly clear about what I'm talking about, but let's clarify one more time. I'm not saying that Nike's are an entertainment product and I've never said you said they were either. I have continuously said that you are...

Just because I'm not going to @Lithose you the difference between the markets for creative works and mass produced consumer goods doesn't mean you know what you're talking about. You said: So, in fact, I didn't twist your words at all. You have been and continue to compare the markets for...

This is just fucking stupid. You should be ashamed of making this argument. I even gave you a line to argue and you still came back with the same stupidity. You even counter your own stupid argument by admitting entertainment is in it's own bucket competing against OTHER ENTERTAINMENT. You...

Okay, you just want to be a dick. Got it. Every single company you listed has received plenty of criticism for exactly the things we're talking about here. Just because it happens elsewhere and in the past doesn't mean we have to be silent and take it now.

This argument comparing games to consumer goods like hamburgers and shoes is fucking retarded. Just stop it. I humored the argument for one post and I won't any longer. They are not similar markets in the slightest. The real comparison is to music or movies. It is like Disney taking all...

Give me a break. You are just being argumentative. You are too intelligent to possibly think that the situation is similar in those cases. Console exclusivity is certainly not good for consumers, but also involves a non-trivial cost for design, development, and licensing among other costs...

Momir is RNG, but in this format it is even more RNG since you get fucked by not drawing specific superfriends, or by your opponent drawing godly ones, or by drawing too many and no land. Additionally, there is only one 10 drop and it is indestructible. So fun.

Anyone arguing that what Epic is doing isn't anti-competitive and anti-consumer is wrong. This isn't a loss leader situation, it is intentionally losing money to monopolize content and force consumers your way. Period. If Steam wasn't already the big dick in the market, for all the right...

So I was pissed about my results and decided to get a $50 heart scan. Results came back with at 0. No calcium buildup in my heart. I was pretty happy about that, but can't shove it in my doctor's face the way that I really want to.

This is one of Stephen King's best, but I don't know how you turn this into a feature film. They're going to have to add filler to make this come out even close to 90 min, and I don't know if I trust anyone in Hollywood to add relevant material that doesn't water down the story.

20 lands? WTF game are you playing? 17 or 18 and you'll only ever see 3 lands in your first 10 cards....

Stardust was actually pretty great. Neil Gaiman is just a great story teller.

Nah, if that was it the show wouldn't be nearly as funny. It has some elements of fish out of water, but the 3 main vampires clearly have adapted to living in the current times. They may still do things in old fashion ways, but they certainly aren't out of their element day to day.

What you said is true, but what you posted is not a quality meme. I mean, it might serve as quality to a depressed, suicidal man pretending to be a lesbian woman, but for the rest of us it is less than mediocre.

So what is the value/performance subwoofer for a small media room? It is less than 400sqft, and it is not a true theater room. Also, it is upstairs, so I can't have it shaking the whole house.

I don't disagree at all. I think it is fucking retarded, but as likely an explanation as any others and why I truly hate where the show went. If the three eyed raven had an interest in ruling, why did the last one grow himself into a tree north of the wall instead of future-seeing his way to...

I dislike Shapiro's breakdown of character motivations. Not that I think he is wrong, just that they are so off from the book versions of the characters that it makes me wonder if anyone involved in the production of the show ever read them in the first place. Bran didn't lift a finger because...

I really hate defending anything involved with this shit show.......BUT, this is to be expected. It is made very clear in the books that Cersi made certain knights part of her kingsguard so she could have an excuse to be alone with them and fuck them, not because they were at all skilled. It...

What kind of moron doctor says a 2yo is overweight? Unless they have fat rolls everywhere, there is no such thing. Most children don't lose their baby fat until they are right at 3. You can go into any daycare in the world and see this. The baby and toddler rooms are full of butterballs, the...

It is a thing here since May 20, 2013. On that day, a dozen children died when a tornado hit an elementary school. They were probably cancelled since today is the anniversary and it was a sure fire thing that giant tornadoes would develop. In tornado news, ever seen two tornadoes spin up at...

So you are related to retards?

Just an FYI for people interested. That same professor has lots of youtube videos from his Physics class and they are fantastic. Why pay for the ludicrous tuition of college when the best learning is free? His lecture on nuclear energy (the same one this snippet is from) is awesome. I...

Yup. They've now upgraded the risk to the highest possible across most of the state.

It's on tomorrow. Half the state is under an 8/10 threat for tornadoes. Most schools have already closed for tomorrow as well.

It's half French. Crunchy Croquant? That sounds like shit. If I didn't already know that Cheetos were fucking delicious, I would probably just pass on by thinking it was French coward food.

Your Canadaland food bags are very strange.

Oh, so your opinion is worthless since you never read about the real Euron? Thanks?

I'll add to this that Type 1 diabetics should certainly stay away from it, but there is lots of research being done that shows keto diets can help Type 2 diabetics control their condition and reduce or eliminate their dependence on insulin. It is a complete lifestyle change, though. **DO NOT...

That's true. I think my main hang-up on this is that I don't want to be the better researched, more knowledgeable party in the room when I'm talking to a doctor about my health. Especially when it is an issue that GPs should be crushing. The fact that these recommendations and levels they've...

I get that, and it is why I've done so much research on these things.

Got my test results back. CHOLESTEROL 223 mg/dL <200 mg/dL TRIGLYCERIDE 45 mg/dL <150 mg/dL HDL 62 mg/dL 40 - 59 mg/dL LDL CALCULATED 152 mg/dL <100 mg/dL NON-HDL CHOLESTEROL 161 mg/dL <130 mg/dL This is the note the doctor put on them: "Your LDL is high as expected from previous...

So I went to get my yearly physical today with a new doctor since I'm moving two towns over next month and wanted a new doc close by. When it comes to the diet portion she mentions that her digital records show that previously I had borderline high cholesterol and asks about my diet. I explain...

Do it, that sounds awesome. Also, Queso ridged chips from Walmart were good, but my bag had way too much seasoning. I didn't know that was even a thing.

For BJJ I get the head and spine, but shoulders? That seems excessive. All BJJ players should have mandatory judo fall training. He would have learned to keep his chin on his chest and probably avoided just such an impact from that type of throw.

I've watched that throw several times and have no idea how he got disqualified for that. He slammed him on his shoulder blades. It wasn't even close to his head. That is, unless this is a judo tourney and they still have leg attacks outlawed. He did grab his upper thigh area to turn him...

I do it both before and after, because butter is amazing. To be fair, I only do it before since it was recommended in the directions I found originally and has always worked well.

I guess I didn't explain very well. The corner is just not pressed all the way down. It is still sealed, but in the event that it needs to release steam then it can do so in a non-catastrophic way. It is a safety precaution.

What quantity of food are we talking? I have been using a covered 8x11 pyrex dish to steam broccoli, green beans, etc. in my microwave for years now. Just throw the vegetables in the dish with 2 tablespoons of water and some butter, cover but leave one corner cracked, and microwave for a few...

This is how I've obtained books for over a decade. Just be aware that, just like torrenting movies and tv shows, if nerds don't like the books you want then they will be difficult to find. Source: trying to download books for my wife that nerds don't like.
