    Well, it's not actually hard to address all of your issues. Let's say that someone queues for support and then at champ select they call mid or they say nothing and just go middle when the game starts. You ban them. Instantly. You set aside a special reporting option just for people who try...

    Here's how I've always felt about it - I don't have any interest in top lane. I don't have any interest in playing ADC or middle. I like to play support and I like to jungle. Even when I was a kid I was never the lord of twitch game play. I was then and still am the worst FPS player I know...

    I've heard that idea before. The higher you set minimum wage the more people who are going to be kept unemployed due to low skill. Those workers won't ever be able to get a job because there will never be work they are qualified for at that pay grade. It probably holds water but I've never...

    People used to run BlitzStar long ago but Thresh + Alistar makes quite a bit of sense. You get to have a ranged type in your kill lane and build ADC and have it sorta work.

    24 years after reading this comic for the first time I still have Calvin's response. I guess I should have taken Physics at some point?

    Spend five whole dollars on tickets and head over to the marketplace. There are bots that do 32 cards for a ticket, 16 cards for a ticket, etc. I mostly just play with crap in the casual room that I like that is not format relevant. For singles I tend to use the same store...

    Pacific Rim

    The problem I had most with the film - I do not believe that Japan would ever mothball their Eva program. Ever. It took me right out of the film. The whole world may be building a wall but you know goddamn well that Japan is going to keep building mechs until the world ends.

    Well, that was her memory. It might not be what happened at all. She was a young child who had an traumatic experience bordering on mythic proportions. Maybe that's how she remembers it, a completely empty city and a gigantic monster chasing just her.

    I don't find it to be a great stretch of the imagination for a single additional blow to the head to have caused serious injury or death.

    Wizards defines functional reprints as cards that are mechanically identical (casting cost, type, power toughness, game text, etc) and any card on the reserved list cannot have a functional reprint either. Now, it's not hard to see how that rule could be completely perverted with hamfisted...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    Being charged in two different jurisdictions for the same crime is not new and is not double jeopardy. It just tends to hardly ever happen because there is not a ton of overlap between state and federal. There is no federal murder statute, for example, so unless you went and stabbed someone in a...

    Star Trek: Discovery

    First Contact and all of the other Next Generation films never happened. They are the delusions of Captain Picard as he sat unconscious in the sun on Veridian 3 after Saron beat the shit out of him. That's why he's so incredibly out of character for all of the other films with his driving and...

    Boston Marathon Explosion - Today's Topics: Public Schools

    This is why you plan for the worst and come equipped with a dead man's switch a la John Travolta in Swordfish. You'll never get a cool showdown if they can just pop you at 1000 yards.

    I knew the media was dildos but this trial has me genuinely worried. I didn't start watching it for the best reasons. 4chan was making thread after thread about Rachel's testimony so I started to tune in. I saw a young, urban woman who was disrespectful of the court, unreliable, inconsistent...

    It's small but Zimmerman didn't call 911. He called 311, a non-emergency number, as there was no emergency. Witnesses called 911 later after Trayvon doubled back and started kicking the shit out of Zimmerman. By saying he called 911 having seen a black kid walking around it makes it sound like...

    Tenth Edition was for me. Actually, a number of core sets were really decent. I'm not a fan of the current way they do core sets overall but among the "M" series I think M13 is pretty good. It's got some neat new cards and some interesting reprints and I can see reasons for players of different...

    I've got a duty to flee here in Wisconsin. If someone started hacking at my front door with a chainsaw and I decided to load the shotgun rather than leg it out the back door I would be criminally liable if I pasted the dude.

    Tenth Edition (not M10, which is bleh) will forever be for me the perfect core set. The design goal was to include at least one card from every set in the game's history and it'sawesome.We've got the full set of ten pain lands, Underworld Dreams, Birds of Paradise, Wrath of God, Abundance, cool...

    You didn't say those numbers were meaningless. You said those numbers make sense from a statistical point of view. I say that nominally in terms of numbers of crimes committed that there should be more crimes by whites against blacks than the reverse given the massive difference in populations...

    Justice for Zimmerman

    I don't necessarily agree. With all the white people out there committing crimes and given how greatly they out number blacks I would think that the numbers shouldn't be so stark in contrast. We've got 433,934 crimes against whites and only 55,685 crimes by whites committed against blacks. On a...

    Yeah, there's no evidence that Zimmerman started the fight. Trayvon doubled back and used the very tactics he discussed on his Facebook - a shot to the nose and some ground and pound - to teach that creepy ass cracka a lesson.

    Yes, I agree that it was his fault. Doesn't he know how dangerous black males are? It's best to put all responsibility onto Zimmerman. Those colored people are little more than wild animals, soulless brutes to whom blame cannot be placed. To follow one is to court death.

    How about something like this - The Kaiju attack and basically all the conventional military can do is lure them away from a population center and go with nukes. Fighting them with non-nuclear arms takes forever and spreads their hideous plague blood everywhere. Those options sucks so the...

    The problem is that we never see people losing hope. The movie goes out of its way to show the very opposite, that the people support the program. I didn't think The Wall or the apparently inept politicians added anything. We've got monsters coming from another dimension, everything we tried...

    Didn't you notice how the lawyers conducted themselves differently, how they treated that bold young black woman unlike the other witnesses, how even their very grammar changed once Rachel took the stand? Check. Yo. Privilege.
