    Whats rustling your jimmies?

    Jesus, that is a "debate" competition? All they do is rattle shit off as fast as they can. What is the point of that? Seems to miss the entire point of a debate. They sound like they are having seizures.

    Tyen Reconciliation Thread

    Reconciliation should be about the guilty party coming forward to admit their sins and asking for forgiveness. Not having a 3rd party ask other people to present their complaints. If Tyen wants forgiveness, he should ask for it. He can start by perhaps explaining what effect he thinks his...

    Thats Racist ! (Rich old man in LA buys and sells black folks)

    The defense to something like that is to not be a jackass or have the internet persona of a jackass. Well, mostly. Some people would lose out on jobs because of silly shit like "the guy is a gamer", etc.

    Gun control

    Taken by itself, the technology seems like a good thing. However, you have gun control groups trying to "end run" around the 2nd amendment by mandating this shit even with all its downsides. So yeah, the death threats are stupid and just play into 'gun nut' hate. However, the owner of the...

    male rape survivors

    Fana, I know you are constantly trying to be devil's advocate here, but acting like people aren't capable of having different levels of emotional control is pretty silly.

    male rape survivors

    Such an unfair charge. He just thinks women have no control over their emotions, aren't worthy or even capable of friendship and secretly want to get raped. Oh wait, okay, maybe he is.

    The Leftovers

    The book club was killed by abunch of people voting for a Tesla book to win and then never reading it. Makes no sense to blame this book, which people actually read.

    The Leftovers

    Good concept for the series but the book had lots of problems. If they just take the concept and put good writers on it, might be interesting.

    Thats Racist ! (Rich old man in LA buys and sells black folks)

    I don't disagree with you that the NBA will win. However, even if Adam Silver thought the NBA would lose, would his actions really change? He didn't have a choice really, with all the outrage, in trying to get rid of Sterling. Even if they lose, he can at least say he did all he could and...

    Thats Racist ! (Rich old man in LA buys and sells black folks)

    His racism was just too over the top and drawn out so save himself. Hard to believe people like that actually exist in today's world. Someone so hypocritical to have those thoughts and be dating someone like her.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    Again Furry, not all ideas are equally valid and not all theoretical ideas are equally valid either. Scientists judge things based on more than simply credentials. Honestly, sounds like you got your crackpot paper rejected from a bunch of journals or something.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The time to be book purist is long since past. It is very clear GRRM is in no hurry to finish the books and they will run out of material with the current books in some plotlines next season. Don't blame the show, blame GRRM. He is the one that takes 5 or 6 years to write the next book, made...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    You seem to be saying that published, peer reviewed papers are equally valid with other sources. Which I don't agree with. Not all sources are equally wrong, sorry. Yes, there are many peer reviewed papers that are crap, but it is still as good a source as we have for validating things. Also...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Yeah, I really don't get why they condensed the taking of Meereen to one episode. Even some discussion of how they would take the city, something. I liked the parts that were in the show, but why leave it so short?

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    Huge departure for sure, but given how shit the Bran chapters are (wandering in the woods for 2 books), any change is likely to be better.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    The entire Craster's Keep, Bran and white walker stuff wasn't in the book (well, they mentioned that craster sacrificed his kids, that is all).

    We need to get a female mod. The level of hate Kirun would have for such a being would be incredible.

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    I think we need to be especially careful of supporting an idea simply because we find it attractive or start with disbelief just because we find the implications of something distasteful. I distinctly remember the day I found out about the lightspeed barrier. I was horrified. It seemed to...

    Health Care Thread

    All those "30 year old" piece of shit that the US has are well-maintained, with updated electronics and well-trained personnel. The russian military and its decaying hunks of shit are actually rusting away because they aren't being maintained. Clueless or troll, not sure which. edit: Oh ffs...

    Health Care Thread

    What is clear is if Russia's military wasn't a decaying hunk of shit, you would be using that as evidence of superpower. By any definition, military (Russia's military is a decaying hunk of shit), economic (their economy sucks), population (less than half of the US, nothing compared to China...

    Heroes of the Storm

    False, the article clears says the game isn't too simplistic. That while it simplifies mechanics, the game is very fun and engaging. If the summary of that article could possibly be something like "game is too simple", then it surely wouldn't have the positive tone it has throughout. You...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    That isn't the fault of scientists (well, not usually). Usually a paper will claim something like "very light material found!". The media will report some dumb shit like "cavorite discovered, anti-gravity just over the horizon!". I want a hovering fembot personally. Maybe in days of future...

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    He has certainly never said he will burn his notes. In general he has been reluctant to directly answer the question about him continuing in the series. What we do know is he HATES fan fiction and other people writing in worlds. Not A Blog - Someone Is Angry On the Internet He often mentions...

    Science!! Fucking magnets, how do they work?

    How is this a useful theory in any way? Yes, scientists smarter than you can claim anything they want. However, other scientists just as smart as that guy will disagree when it goes up for peer review. Like this guy, he can claim whatever he wants. However, any physicist (or in this case, anyone...

    Heroes of the Storm

    Yes, what you are missing is that a game doesn't require last-hitting to be a good game. Clearly you aren't the target audience of this game or that article. As the article points out, yes it simplifies things, but it doesn't make them so simplistic that it isn't fun. In fact, the simplicity...

    Why are we discussing this theory? His math is complete bullshit, on the level of .99999~ not being equal to one, with shit like that littered throughout. This guy is just making shit up.

    Hearthstone

    The comments by Brad Bode kinda worry me. He seems too reluctant to change cards and feels like the meta will just evolve to "anti-hunter", and that kind of evolution is good for the game. I disagree with all this. I think in a digital game, one of the big strengths is you can slightly tweak...

    Hearthstone

    Seems silly to nerf Buzzard. No one was complaining about buzzard after the drop to 2/1 and unleash nerf. I would like to see them consider putting Unleash at 4 mana, or at least 3, and then seeing how shit shakes out.

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    Pretty much correct. Anyone who starts comparing slavery to shit like having to work for a wage or having a shitty job with debt is a fucking moron with no clue about what actual slavery was like. Those people need to fucking educate themselves on how horrific slavery was. You always have...
