    If by knife juggler deck you mean zoo, yeah, it is really popular right now.

    Hearthstone

    DoC has a good system, where you essentially pick each turn what "color" mana crystal you get. Adds just a little decision-making to your turns, eliminates luck on the mana and makes deck building more interesting.

    Why are we on this gigantic derail about contractor deaths anyway? Suppose I grant you that some contractors died and it wasn't reported, does that change the evidence pointing to clearly less americans are dying over there now than in the past?

    That is of course the strength of science, that it is constantly correcting itself when new evidence is discovered and contradictions to current understandings are found. Unless you mean something silly like science is always being proved wrong. Certainly science is constantly correcting...

    Wow, what a silly list. The first 4 are essentially restatements of the same thing in order to inflate it, and then it has completely silly shit like #17. Good job Araysar, you managed to make Merlin's sources for shit sound legitimate in comparison.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    How exactly is it flawed to say that believing in pseudoscience, that is things that have no scientific background, forces you to go into any test with flawed premises? Another issue with trying to "prove" crazy shit is that not all claims have the same probability of being true. Would you be...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Dude you got me. I have no idea what science is. Ghosthunting and UFOology can be pursued as sciences also and they are all equally valid to people like you that know what science is. Good to know.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Masturbation doesn't disagree with any science. Alchemy, other beliefs in pseudoscience and religion directly interfere with your ability to do science because they make claims about the world that we know are false.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Yep, we may not be able to "prove" conclusively, but some of the explanations have higher probability than others. Some have implications that we can use to discover other things and drive further research. For example, the Big Bang Theory has implications, we can test them, motivate research in...

    If you can't see how him spending years of his life messing with alchemy and trying to reconcile it with his other beliefs instead of doing actual science was detrimental, I don't know what to tell you.

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Watch that and think about how much Newton could have discovered if he didn't reach some limits and just give up saying "God did it". Also, Newton believed in alchemy also, that doesn't mean we shouldn't mock people that believed in alchemy and wish that people would stop believing in it. His...

    Do you seriously believe that being forced to go Sunday school since high school, going through communion and confession has no effect on someone's belief structure? You don't think this indoctrination (and there really is no other word for it) allows children to make free and honest decisions...

    You have no fucking clue dude. People come to college knowing fuckall about evolution, believe cloning is impossible because "souls" and dumb shit like that. The valedictorian of my high-school for example, didn't believe in evolution for fucks sake. Yeah, so defend your silly belief in...

    Cosmos: A Spacetime Odyssey

    Yep, this is definitely a problem. The religious indoctrination of kids and that even in today's world, being an atheist is a slur that has more negative political connotations than any religion. For many people indoctrinated as a child in religion, they don't even know that not believing in...

    Here we have an example of both Anyway, I think you are being too hard on the show, but we will see. This show isn't Cosmos and it is a different time than when Cosmos aired. I think a more strident tone for the show is maybe warranted.

    What does that have to do with people being civil? Do you find dicks uncivil in some way?

    Sean complaint box

    Sure, yet most of us can actually be civil most of the time. You cannot be. Don't get me wrong bro, never change. It fucking cracks me up how often you end up in here. Hearthstone, xbox vs ps4, tv show threads, doesn't matter, you end up getting RRPed for acting like a child.

    So I watched Sesame Street last night and man, the show was just bad. They just explained shit I already knew and their explanations were, I feel, almost intentionally confusing. I really hope they ramp it up next time.

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    Wtf dude, you are fucking absurd. You have kept on and on saying that it didn't matter that they had guns. Then you have the fucking gall to summarize your position by saying they won't do anything if the guys have guns? Anyway, I like how I point out a counterexample and then you say "they...

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    How do the feds negate the guns without doing something that will result in large political backlash and even more crazies running into the cause? Hint: They couldn't, hence why they backed down. Sure, look at the Occupy Wallstreet protestors and how they were dispersed pretty easily the minute...

    So God is against homos and against letting someone die in front of you. How does a religious person decide whether to save someone? Seems they are screwed either way.

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    Look dipshit, read this quote of yours after I pointed out how fucking stupid the "drone strikes" shit was. You yourself say that the feds had access to options that negate the guns, and used that as an example, and then later on in a post move to snipers. Now again, the BLM backed down because...

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    This is exactly where your argument breaks down. The very presence of the weapons made it where the BLM couldn't handle it alone. Since there would be huge political backlash to calling in the national guard or using "drone strikes" or "special forces snipers", the BLM backed down. Again...

    Yeah, he is definitely doing a balancing act. I think the real problem is how do you do a balancing act with someone like Cersei. People freaked out at the scene in the tv show when Cersei threatened to just off LF, but I actually thought it was a scene that could have happened. Cersei could...

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    For sure. That is what the guns did, make it that any force to remove them had to be so extreme as to cause backlash. That is why the BLM backed down. As Royal points out though, it still isn't a win for this guy. He is going to get shut down when all this calms down.

    GoT - Is Over, Post Your Drogon Sightings

    I think they do a pretty good job of it actually. Look at Tyrion. Tyrion is convinced that Varys is on his side, or at least enough that Tyrion never makes any moves against him. Varys is doing that same kind of shit to many other people.

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    No, that hasn't been our counter arguments. Our counter-arguments are that you brought in drone strikes. When pointed out how absurd that was, you then moved it to snipers. When pointed out how that again would not just simply negate armed "rednecks", you then said you weren't going to...

They fucking teach courses to military contractor snipers.Tactical Responsefor example brought abunch of people...

    Waco pt2? Standoff in Nevada over cattle on BLM land

    False, the guns made it so that the government would have to escalate to completely ridiculous extremes to get rid of them.If it weren't for the guns, the feds could have easily escalated and used nonlethal. I mean, jesus dude, mentioning drones is so fucking ridiculous it seems you don't...
