Like last season -- I'm not sure what just happened but it was fun to watch. I think I need to find a regular supply of hallucinogens for this show.

Looks like the chinese space junk wont be hitting the US; current predictions look like Africa TIANGONG-1 Reenter - Decay Predictions + ONLINE 3D REAL TIME TRACKING Anyone have other good tracking sites?

Good discussion, and not to be pedantic, but this distinction does matter. Its not "are sexual creatures". Its "will become sexual creatures". We are talking about children.

*alluding I cant take people seriously who have ostensibly speak English as a first language but have such a tenuous grasp on the English language This thread title still rustles my jimmies multiple times a day

Thats an interpretation of observations, not an experiment. You specifically said real science requires experiments.

Neat. Which experiment demonstrated that earth is at the center of the universe? Since youve assured us that experiments are the only thing that counts as science, I'm sure you have a quick experiment that demonstrates what youre asserting.

In fairness, I think a father can accept the inevitability of his daughters' becoming sexually active as adults, without letting 12 year olds wear uncovered yoga pants in public. But you make a good point. Not everything has to be a hard and fast rule, approval and disapproval are powerful tools.

I completely hear you on the big picture here. But man, uncovered yoga pants are way too revealing. I enjoy it way too much when a hot adult woman wears yoga pants uncovered in public. I think most of us do. I am pretty sure my line will have to be cover that shit up when my daughters get old...

Lumi may be confused about geometry, biology, and theology but I don't recall him being confused about the difference between a phenomenon and multiple phenomena.

This show was all over the place. Don't care enough to look into it, but was did this go through some kind of reshoot fuckery? Change directors mid filming? Run out of money during production? Acting varied widely from one scene to the next, ranging from community college drama club bad to...

All female team takes on an unknown phenomenon. Every single one of them dies, except the lead character who apparently , probably dooming the human race and all life on earth. Sounds about right. Seriously though, I really enjoyed some aspects of this, overall I'm going 6/10. Not worth a...

I loved the first season of JJ. It ranked right up there with Punisher for me. This season was nails on a chalkboard bad, and I couldnt help but finish it anyway hoping some of the season 1 magic would return. And I sat there watching episode after episode where the entire story arc was...

My wife gets in these moods too. Its like all of a sudden she's possessed by her mother in law and starts channeling her negativity. The following may sounds like I'm not being serious or not appropriate for the grown ups forum or something. But honestly, what helped me the most was realizing...

Taking a shower in that slimy-ass "soft water" is worse than chemo.

What if I'm not an illiterate dumbass and have no difficulty pronouncing simple chemical names? May I then use the soap?

This is a part of the question. I have spent my whole life preparing for (and doing) a career in research, so I've spent no time looking into what the options are in IT/software. What would I enjoy doing? I enjoy writing code, developing and maintaining databases, and to some limited extent...

Oh I get that. I guess I'm asking more generally (and you guys have already answered to some extent) about the feasibility of entering IT with coding experience from another field but zero IT experience. For example if someone came into my field applying for faculty jobs without a PhD and at...

Thanks guys this is useful. Tenks, I think you are right about differences between my coding experience to this point and the kind of challenges faced in a real IT environment. To be clear, I am not looking for more money, theres no way thatd happen switching careers. I'd consider a ~1/3...

I have a question for the professional IT folks. I'm a biologist who does (relative to biologists) quite a bit of programming. Compared to real IT professionals I have no doubt that both my choice of languages (Perl, bash, R, PHP, HTML) and my proficiency in each is weaker. But in the biology...

In case this was serious advice -- no, always hit the deer. It may "total" your car depending on insurance details but it wont hurt you. Swerving to avoid the deer stands a very real chance of ending one or more human lives. Source: I've hit several deer over the years.

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...
