  1. So how many people could they have saved by jamming them into the 2 person shuttle that was able to go to the casino and back? 20? 30? 50? All of them? This movie felt like it was written during filming. Anyone trying to inject some political, philosophical, or even logical sense into this movie is fooling themselves. There is a laundry list of idiotic plot holes and that's just from first impressions on premiere weekend. Wait until the fanboys analyze it. Maybe the director (Rian Johnson) should have focused on making a better movie.
  2. I'm starting to wonder if the "Bitcoin will solve everything" crowd is hanging out with the "Weed cures everything" stoners.
  3. Neither. Science decides. Common sense would work too, but that died a long time ago.
  4. "In denying Cara her surgery, Aetna said it considers laser ablation surgery "experimental and investigational for the treatment of epilepsy because the effectiveness of this approach has not been established." "Clinical studies have not proven that this procedures effective for treatment of the member's condition," Aetna wrote in its rejection letter. The insurance company did approve her for the more invasive and more expensive open brain surgery, called a temporal lobectomy, even though her medical team never sought approval for the procedure." She got approved for the normal surgery but not the experimental one.... ...so the obvious response is to cry on social media and say that the Insurance company is killing her.
  5. "The panel will consider mandatory evacuations of hillside and brush area encampments during days or seasons of high fire risk, and education campaigns to discourage outdoor fires when winds pick up." So they're going to round up all the homeless and send them to education camps?
  6. Are you one of those people that can't believe Trump won because no one you know voted for him?
  7. This way of thinking is very dangerous. Our legal system is based on the idea that it is better to let 100 criminals go free than to send 1 innocent person to prison. It should never be equal. The burden of proof has to always be on the accuser. There is a thread in the PPP that cites a campus investigation where a lawyer told a committee that they must find the man guilty or 100 more girls will be assaulted by other emboldened men. It didn't matter whether he was innocent or not. Others in the media have stated that it is preferable to destroy a man's career and reputation than to "victim blame"; better to ruin 100 men's lives than to doubt any woman's claims. "Women don't lie about rape..." We've moved to guilty until proven innocent. "She has a right to be believed."
  8. I find this thread incredibly sexist. No one has mentioned Men that get harassed. I know I've been the target of women who said "Hi" to me at work. I've also over-heard them rating men in the office. #metoo
  9. It's her job. So it's more like that business that didn't want to bake the gay cake. If the baker has to bake, then the porn star has to sex up the gay guy?
  10. That study is sexist and is a tool of the patriarchy to subjugate women.
  11. How well do these foreign players translate to MLB? I'm assuming that baseball has a smaller learning curve than basketball or football.
  12. Too bad they couldn't have included the Fantastic Four and X-men in the list of characters for Inifinity war. That would have been amazing to see everyone in one movie. I'm still hoping for a Marvel vs DC movie in the future....
  13. The one that uses "Christmas" as a verb...."Christmassing..."
  14. I found it interesting that her industry name was "August", since her parents already gave her a good porn star name: "Mercedes" You have to include trannies and black guys on that list. You're a bigot if you don't hook up with at least one chick with a d@#$%.
  15. The intent of the bill is to get rid of these small businesses. All other reasons are just talking around that fact. It would be the same as banning poles to close down strip clubs.
  16. I know my physics professor said that everyone would fit on Rhode Island and would be less than 1 ft high if liquefied.
  17. It would be much easier to feed, cloth, and house people if we crammed all 7billion people onto an island. The world doesn't have a resource problem (at the moment); we have a logistics problem. Of course, this doesn't take into account culture or lack of personal space (which has been proven to drive people insane), or even the fact that communities are usually built around resources, and not the other way around, but it's the easiest way to build the communist star trek utopia liberals dream about...
  18. What does it mean when Democrats are willing to admit that people would rather die than pay more taxes.
  19. Everyone who proposes a UBI system tries to paint it as a program that will eliminate Welfare, the same way they say that raising the minimum wage will push people above the poverty level; which it has never done in history; but they still say it will. UBI will just be another unsustainable program on top of the existing waste we already fund.
  20. The UBI will eliminate Welfare the same way raising minimum wage does...
  21. If you take in all the responses, you can see that there was a mini war brewing, with the people crying for more freedom, while the administration pushed back by sending in their mods to rein in the children. The mods were getting it from both sides. It's interesting that the response from the mod team was to say, "$%#@ it, I'm doing my own thing," after their leader fled to her blog.
  22. I know many people worshiped Wyo, but she was the ringleader that started the downfall. Her "good intentions" got the ball rolling. It started in the cesspool of the politics subforum. It was ignored by the mods (or given free reign) until one of the Mod's pals (Dennis) did some really bad things that got him reported. In response the Mods banned the posters who reported their friend. This caused a revolution that got that sub-forum banned. The remaining members, understandably, protested which led to more "rules" to stifle speech. WYO made her famous, "Don't post anything argumentative" rant. And told everyone to find another site. Jayhawk felt compelled to defend the mods and got even more brutally hard handed. Many left. and the "but" was no more. After the purge, the Mods turned their attention to the football side. Their power assured, they implemented the same stifling rules to "make their jobs easier" ; No criticizing mods. No talk about the owners. Nothing mentioning anything about women (which was even enforced when the Bills had the first woman coordinator)... the rules list went on, and kept getting longer, and murkier. People retaliated by trolling. Bans were handed out. More trolling in response to the mod's stranglehold, it drove the traffic numbers down to dozens, until it was an easy decision to shut the place down.
  23. "Amazon agreed to spend $1.1 billion to build three data centers in the state in exchange for a 15-year exemption on state and local property and sales taxes, up to $77 million"
  24. There is a history of Studios forgoing early screenings for critics when they know the movie is awful.
  25. Did you know that more Black players in the NFL get injured than White Players, despite the US population having 3 times more white people? The NFL is racist!
