Man, I miss smoking cigarettes. I smoked for 10 years give or take. It wasnt the nicotine itself. Honestly, I never liked the headrush feeling nicotine brings. It was the ritual, the deliberate and mindful act of taking a 10 minute break. It was the deliberate, controlled breathing that brought...

This is correct, and its bizarre to me that anyone is giving ZyyzYzzy shit on this topic. Are there parents who wouldnt end any animal if it bit their kid? Dogs need to not bite my kids, and there really arent a lot of details that need to be discussed to clarify this position. Growing up in...

That was one of my arguments. Not the only one. And yes, when something has worked well for millennia, that is a point worth considering. Also, spanking is not violence. Anyone making that claim either hasnt seen normal, healthy spanking or hasnt seen actual violence. I do hear what youre...

I always enjoy the civilized and adult discourse you bring to the table. Spanking has been widely considered one of the most effective tools for training young children for literally millennia, is still used occasionally by most actual parents, and I've personally witnessed it as an effective...

This is exactly correct, and similar to how I use spanking (last resort, rarely used). You sound like a good parent. You sound like you're once again expressing strong opinions about something you dont actually know anything about. Just zyyzyzzy things.

I dunno, his statement was pretty accurate as written. Its not that all black people objectively look alike, its that unless you grow up around them you cant tell them apart. Just like every asian looks like 100% clones of each other to the average white guy. I've even read that many asians have...

Ah, Manila, the most racist and corrupt place I've ever visited, the ony place more racist and corrupt than Tijuana. Only good things are the diving, the lechon, and the fruit. Eat the durian, its delicious and unique but smells like the most vile garbage youve ever smelled. If your cab...

Man, with all due respect, reading posts like this is like reading someone say "How can I find information on the internet? I dont use search engines". Heres the deal. Kids need to be yelled at and even spanked sometimes. The key is, you do it really, really, really rarely. When you do it, they...

Agreed 100% (except its Peters main love interest that bugs me in this respect). I liked this movie quite a bit and its above most previous spiderman movies for me. But the quote bullshit is getting so cliche, that even if I wasnt bothered by the SJW goals I'd be bothered by the hamfisted...

Theyre descendants of muslim slaves. Their culture is directly modeled in some ways after Arabian Muslim culture. They start a galaxy-wide Jihad that kills billions. Theyre the good guys of the book. I do not see how you faithfully capture the book Fremen and avoid muslim apologist or...

This movie was always going to be a challenge, as evidenced by the Lynch abomination and the accurate but boring Sci Fi channel miniseries. In 2017 America, it is not possible to make this movie. The Fremen are literally and explicitly descended from Muslim slaves in the far future. Their...

The source material clearly describes a white family with hair colors ranging from red to "auburn". I'll leave it to the reader to deduce their race. But surprisingly, in the trailer half of the kids appear to be black. (The race of Mrs Who et al is unimportant since they arent human, so I give...

Sugar soda is like drinking maple syrup. I'd drink diet if they had equal calories. Considering its zero versus several zillion, its no contest.

FWIW I generally dislike 3D but saw this in 3D and it didnt bother me at all. Not sure I think it added anything but maybe I'm just not into 3D. Not a problem in any case, IMO.

Important and damn near universally true advice there. The mirror is a dangerous thing on shrooms.

LOL 20% down. This is the financial equivalent of how all FOH posters (except me) are married to women who look like supermodels and love giving blowjobs. In real life I know exactly zero people who had 20% to put down on their house. I put precisely zero down on mine. Guess I'd be better off...

Lets not get crazy here. Thats a rather extreme solution, dont you think? Thanks spronk.

LOL stolen supreme court

I thought I was clear but I guess not. I was not saying the black dude broke the movie. I was saying that casting a black man in a part designed for Clint Eastwood showed a complete disregard for the source material, and that would break the movie. Out of curiousity, how far did they take it...

Its not terribly important what you label this weakness. Its a weakness to be overcome, not an identity to be embraced as "who you are". Spending a couple hours with a stranger is no big deal, and if something in you makes it feel like a big deal, that is a problem to be solved. Regardless of...

Palum, I agree with that too. Like I said, both positions were understandable, just not the notion that being exposed to a stranger for 2 hours was some kind of hardship. I hate people, but I wouldnt be "uncomfortable" picking up a stranger for my mom. I might say no, but I wouldnt be all...

I hear ya to some extent, Debra's annoying but I have to confess I find her kind of hot. Her character sucks but if she just STFU she wouldnt be abrasive. Skyler on the other hand, no.

I dunno, I'm torn on this one. On the one hand, making someone take a taxi or shuttle from the airport is a huge dick move. Thats what people who dont know anyone in the city they just landed in have to do. If a friend or family member lands at your airport and you make them take a taxi, youre...

WTF, that makes no sense. She is one of my most hated TV characters of all time, but I genuinely thought that was intentional. She's right up there with Joffrey on GOT, did an a really excellent job of being hateworthy. If the show runners genuinely intended her to be sympathetic they failed...

I explained it several times. Its a flawed system because two drivers approach the roundabout at the same time, there is no set system for right of way. Its whoever enters the roundabout first. So its a giant fucking game of chicken. This means no one waits their turn like civilized human...

lol how did I miss this. Hoss won the thread on page 2 but we missed it and kept going :(

So in response to my post, which you quoted, in which I stated that the problem with roundabouts is caused by the fact that no one stops. And in response you say roundabouts are better because in some scenario they mean fewer cars have to stop. Truly, a dizzying intellect.

Boy youre doing a really great job of disproving the argument that 4 way stops take less time. An argument no one ever made. But you are defeating it handily. Good show sir. Roundabouts are an inferior design because no one stops. Please tell me more about how people get through a roundabout...

You are right that sometimes people are dumb at 4 way stops. How to approach 4 way stops? 1. Come to a complete stop 2. Whoever stops first goes first 3. when in doubt, the car on the right has right of way Simple, civilized, only delays you for a matter of seconds. People are idiots but I'd...

Oh you found a website that agrees with you I am totally convinced, despite all logic and experience to the contrary this is my I am totally convinced face

This is a bad argument and youd have to do some kind of statistical gymnastics to find support for it. At a stop sign, accidents happen while traveling 0-10 mph as you start back up. At a roundabout, if an accident happens, it happens while accelerating at full speed because the most aggressive...

Yeah, thats a good way of putting it. I value fairness over moving maximum cars per hour. Any solution will be a tradeoff between those goals and I favor fairness. Interestingly I have heard the same argument about shitty asian cultural practices of refusing to wait in line and instead using...

Naw man I'm a steely eyed killer like everyone else on the internet, I'm just asking for a friend who isnt quite as aggressive. If you think relying on variation in aggressiveness among drivers is a good and reasonable method for determining who has right of way in an intersection we'll just...

When the cars are traveling in intersecting paths? Yes, the solution that has the cars stopping is preferable to the solution that has the cars not stopping. Whoever is in the roundabout has right of way over whoever is entering the roundabout, so whoever gets in first has right of way. It...

Is this a trick question? In a 4 way stop everyone is equal, and civilized behavior is required. Everyone stops briefly and takes their turn. In a roundabout whichever motherfucker guns it and gets into the roundabout first has right of way and doesnt have to wait his turn in line. Every...

LOL this discussion is cracking me up. I have a relatively low n compared to most of you cassanovas. But even my n has been sufficient to clarify this issue. Chicks who use tampons get stinky pussies, chicks who dont use tampons dont have stinky pussies. I havent seen any correlation with weight...

Lets be clear that resistance to flat earth denial of objective reality is a pretty different thing that resistance to anything about God.

I like how he includes "forming a perfectly round object" as if that was some kind of mystery. The rest is the usual boring anthropic principle nonsense, but the idea that formation of round objects is some kind of mystery just cracks me up for some reason.

100% of people I know who dont use social media call it one of the best decisions they've made. Myself included. 100% of people I know who do use social media complain about stuff they deal with on social media.

Probably not a real concern at this point but to clarify, you are quoting the rate for a white infant. They practically pay you to adopt black infants. (its different in every state but some are so cheap the tax breaks literally approach the costs of adoption)
