    The Revenant (2015)

    I thought it was good enough to recommend watching it but not good enough to praise or ever watch again.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    He definitely is a Token. In a galaxy far far away he's a stereotypical black American male. Whitewashed of course to make him the lovable, family friendly idiot. His character is honestly almost as bad as Jar Jar. I was rooting for him to be dead when Kylo Ren slashed his back.

    Making a Murderer (Netflix) - New info

    There is no way to get smoking gun solid evidence from individuals that have lost their credibility and shown they aren't trustworthy. Credible evidence can only be gathered by credible people. You can't believe anything those investigators say or do. This isn't a hard concept.

    Star Wars: The Force Awakens (2015)

    I haven't really commented on this movie in here because I'm not a huge Star Wars franchise fan and definitely not in tune with the overarching universe but the mental gymnastics some of you are performing to justify this boring, uninspired movie is staggering. There is no plot or character...

    The Documentary Thread

    Sports documentaries, to me at least, are usually just a nice unwind and watch something mindless and unimportant kind of thing. But the 30 for 30 "Four Falls of Buffalo" is one of the better overall documentaries I've seen. That shit is actually moving and made me sort of admire the people of...

    You'll be fine. The body does not cannibalize muscle tissue the way some people seem to think it does. Everyone wants to believe their body is going to act like it's at 8% body fat when they're a fat fuck who has plenty of excess stored fat to burn for energy.

    No, Khalid is right, his argument was very nuanced. Nuanced in the fact that he could somehow completely ignore that nothing the investigators uncovered as evidence could be considered credible and choose to hang his hat on one piece of evidence that surely wasn't subject to conflicts of...

    I am currently making use of the ACA because the company I contract for has such terrible benefits that the health plans available through the marketplace were both cheaper and had better coverage. What a shitty fucking company.

    The Big Short: Pitt, Bale, Carrell do the subprime crisis

    Hrmmm, seems like very few people were talking about that before this movie released. And most of the ones who were, spoke of it favorably. It's hard to understand exactly what the banks are selling and who they are selling it to there. Is this something investment banks are engaging in with...

    In some markets, and of course you can expect them to raise in value to a certain extent.... 7 years later, due to inflation, etc. You're not arguing that the market was severely over-inflated before the crash are you? EDIT: Actually I'm not sure what the point you were making was in...

    The Big Short: Pitt, Bale, Carrell do the subprime crisis

    The subprime crash brought housing values back down to reality. It was a devaluing in the sense that properties were selling for way more than they should have been. Way more than they were actually worth. And the parallel to college education is an apt one. The price of a college education is...

    And the settlement saved face for the reputation of the law enforcement involved in the initial wrongful conviction. If that had gone to trial it certainly would have been shameful for those involved and a lot of people who were still employed at the time would have lost their jobs in disgrace.

    And at least with a bad mortgage you can recuperate some of the money after foreclosing/short selling. Do they garnish wages on unpaid student loans?

    Low Carb Diet Program and Weight Loss Plan | Atkins Disregard the marketing and go right to the actual diet. Buy the book in my opinion. The marketing around these diets is unfortunate to say the least. They betray the diet's true goal and plan to sell it better to fat people who don't...

    I never acknowledged trying to gain muscle on keto is dumb. I acknowledged that trying to gain weight on keto is dumb. It's completely counter-intuitive. You can gain muscle while losing weight. You can also maintain weight while gaining muscle or gain weight while gaining muscle. All of these...

    Ok we agree. And I already did link the study that says that a low carb diet effects lean mass gain better than a high carb diet. I linked it twice in fact, once to the full text and once to the abstract. By the way I think that both ways will work but you were demonizing low carb as a...

    No, I'm saying this kid can easily run in the same social circles as people who do and we tend to gravitate toward like minded individuals as human beings.

    You've yet to prove that to me. Yet I link actual studies that refute your claims: DEFINE_ME_WA It's becoming very clear you don't fully understand low carb diets. And I am not talking about staying in ketosis for extended periods. Low carb diets, such as Atkins, also do not advocate...

    Though you've got a point about that specific linked anecdote. Trying to eat at a surplus and gain weight in ketosis makes no fucking sense at all. It's literally backwards and you're right about that.

    Wrong and I am living proof. Until about 2 weeks ago I was in and out of Ketosis (mostly in ketosis during the week and out of it on the weekends, what many people call carb cycling though not quite at the level of detail most other people put into it). I lost 10 lbs and lifts gained massively...
