I'm envious of you guys who live in areas where cyclists regularly obey the laws. I'll take your word for it. Here in Oregon, cyclists dont even slow down at stop signs. I've literally watched a 60+ couple follow each other trhough a 4 way stop without slowing, and a parent towing their child...

This. Its right and proper that this made it onto the first page. +1 Hypothetically speaking when I have a psychotic break and go on a killing spree, itll be because of some douchebag that rides a childrens toy in traffic because its "good exercise" but then refuses to stop at stop signs...

I know yall laughed when I said this the first time, but we've got numbers floating around so I have to ask. Putting aside specific offers for specific websites. Seriously, there are people or corporations who would pay a lot for a forum? In an era where no one ever sees an ad on the internet...

WTF? Pretty sure I made the switch within the first 24 hrs. Check your list.

WTF, this site was worth money? In the era of universal ad blockers, a messageboard with a community of a few hundred is actually worth money? I sincerely did not realize this.

I'm with Szlia (sorry, Szlia) -- watching trailers for next weeks episode is like watching commercials, people still do that?

As much as I'd like to see Dany die and the white walkers win, I dont think itll happen. GRRM only kills characters hes built up as likeable.

My job hasnt given me a paycheck in 6 months. Should I keep going into work or move on? No matter what I order, the restaurant around the corner only gives me an empty plate. Should I keep going to this restaurant or find a new one?

Dont be silly. Concern trolling involves deception and a pretended level of concern. Successfully or not, I was engaged in a rhetorical device where you extend your opponents' statements to their logical conclusions in order to illustrate the silliness of those positions. Its a different kind...

Hey now, its not my logic. I'm clarifying what other people are saying, thats all. But Khane, what of it? How do you answer fifey's question?

So the strap on fellatio = totally not gay the dildo up the ass = totally not gay the word daddy = makes it gay. Do I have that right?

Khane, I'm not arguing, I'm just clarifying your position. How about if the woman dresses as a man, the man dresses as a woman, they engage in all the acts I describe above, and she calls him "her little bitch" while he felates her strap on. Still 100% straight? Not a grey area at all...

I've read the thread and just want to clarify. The rerolled consensus appears to be that nothing done by a man and woman together is even a little gay, and that there is no grey area. So if a woman puts on a strap-on and the guy simulates fellatio on the strap on, while calling her daddy, and...

On the derail: its really annoying that in the 21st century we've somehow lost the distinction between finding something gross versus being afraid and bigoted toward those who practice it. Back to Arinath's dilemma -- its odd to me that no one has commented on this. The dude confronts his...

I wouldnt mind Lawrence in the Mystique role if Mystique played the role she should play in these movies (i.e. one or at most two scenes per movie). Its a stupid character with a stupid and uninteresting power. I think shes fine for the character; the problem is a character whose power is...

I'm glad I already only watch pirated copies of these movies. That way I dont have to change my behavior when they pull retarded shit like this. Substituting a black chick for fucking Valkyrie. Next theyll be casting a black dude as the Gunslinger and a white chick as Susanna. Its like...

Yes, because even if we cant prove it -- and even if the alternative ends up being proven -- the alternative is terrible. The only intellectually honest response, if free will doesnt actually exist, is to never hold anyone accountable for their actions. Society cannot function without the...

Interesting, I stand corrected. Your first quote isnt convincing (she may have been afraid without any actual vulnerability) but if she had burns, you are right, she wasnt fireproof.

wait, what, you want to put the burden of proof on the accuser? check your privilege

This argument is confusing. For those who have read the books or watched the first eason of the show Not sure how comments made by the author offline have any bearing on this. Who are you gonna believe, GRRM or your lying eyes? She's obviously fireproof. The only point worth arguing is...

Well if we're gonna take it to that level lets just cut to the chase. Not all of us decided it would be fun to stare at a computer simulated male ass for hours on end. We all knew how to get to third person, but some of us recognized that it sucked and wisely stayed with first person. The...

Arguments about EQ bring back memories. Quaid, your still wrong, but this was fun. Thank you. I swear we had the same argument a decade ago! (PS, when youre in first person you are still allowed to turn around, ya know... its a flick of the fingers. Theres no loss of situational awareness...

Theres some kind of inception level trolls within trolls going on re: the flash lately, can you clear this up for me? In the comics, Barry Allen is the flash; hes a blond white guy. Wally West is Kid Flash; hes a red haired white guy. I never heard of any black flash until they inexplicably...

No, you are wrong, probably because you used one of the sub optimal methods I described previously. First person was never a disadvantage assuming people didnt do stupid things like use the mouse for clicking hotkeys or targetting, or use the keyboard for turning. I played druid, enchanter...

No, thats not true. Third person sucked for all classes and was always an unnecessary crutch. A quick flick of the fingers lets you turn 360? in first person view, or you could quickly F9 to cycle through cameras. Third person was training wheels that ruined immersion and made everything...

Third person was always the choice of keyboard turners and people who used their mouse to click their hotkeys. First person was always the best and only way to play EQ. This looks great. I dont even try games that dont allow first person, and outlawing the inferior modes right off the bat...

No, roundabouts are objectively terrible. In a 4-way stop when two cars come into close proximity on intersecting courses, theyre moving very slow. In a roundabout, the drivers are incentivized to keep moving as fast as possible while they approach each other in some fucked up mad max version...

holy fuck. People who defend roundabouts. Jimmies rustled. These things are literally the worst traffic invention ever; they literally reward the more aggressive driver. Roundabouts should be banned and anyone who defends them castrated. Four way stop, motherfucker, its how civilized...

I'll give it some weight when he says it in the general election debates. My take on Trump is that his campaign is entirely driven by ego -- the only ideology he has is winning. In the Republican primaries, he gives minor lip service to conservative positions, because this is key to winning...

Its really confusing how anyone can call Trump right wing. The man has no political ideology -- he has not campaigned on right wing social stances and his long record in the public eye shows zero evidence of right wing positions. Quite the opposite -- he is solidly aligned with the establishment...

Totally agree -- as long as he grows out the silly crew cut into something normal he would make a great Eddie. Im curious why these articles keep mentioning the Max Max chick has been cast but never say which role. Theres only one major female character in the book; obviously she's...

Lets aim the criticism where it belongs -- I was the one who said Rick would make an acceptable Roland. To be clear, I never said a great Roland. But I could see it, and I stand by that. Remember that Roland is a man of few words; assuming the actor is capable of toning down Rick's overly...

yall are gonna crucify me for this but hear me out. I was watching TWD the other night and it struck me that Rick wouldnt be a terrible choice for Roland. He's not Eastwood, sure. But I could see it. Picture it. Tell me he wouldnt be a better choice than this fucking black dude.

The way casting rumors are going so far, it wouldnt surprise me if they madeJakeinto Rolands love interest.

At least its not a reboot...

I dont know anything about brain gunshot wounds specifically but its my understanding that the usual TV trope of "OMG have to remove the bullet" is pure fiction. Apparently in some cases its better off to leave the bullet in place, and in most cases removal of the bullet is a very low priority...

I'm surprised by the positive reactions this is getting. Yes, there was a great amount of action. Definitely not a filler episode. But I sat there watching it thinking either (a) they have a guest director this week or (b) this show has completely jumped the shark. 1. The retcon cliffhangers...

WTF, in what world is it more secure to sign your credit card than leave it unsigned? When its unsigned, cashiers ask to see ID. When its signed, they look at the signature and dont ask for ID. How can the latter possibly ever be more secure then the former? Never signed a credit card...

Never saw Reaper, found Sleepy Hollow unwatchable. When did the devil appear in X-files? I hear ya on the boredom inherent in pure evil / pure good characters. I'm just saying this "the devil isnt a totally bad guy" trope is so overdone its just as boring. Itd be much more interesting at this...

not that theres anything wrong with that
