  1. Nooooo....no, no, no, NO! You poor summer child. In the real world, if winter isn't coming, we make it come!
  2. The battle is ongoing, comrades!
  3. I have heard frogs that sound like lasers. Pew! Pew!
  4. Ghosts? Or demons?! Maybe they are charging your laptop with the souls of the darned!
  5. For further confirmation, Rising Shadow has it including Emperor's Soul as well. http://www.risingshadow.net/library/book/49990-arcanum-unbounded-the-cosmere-collection
  6. Wouldn't it be four episodes? It was in the first episode.
  7. That is BuzzFeed, though. It's kinda their thing. Much like how Fox has its own distinctive content and agenda, these groups or blogs are purposefully trying to convince anyone that reads them of their cause, or strengthening the converted.So though a comments section may be provided, it's also not conducive to useful debate as such. You can learn the arguments and incantations of that side ("microagressions" or "everyone gets a trophy!"). As far as testing the mettle of your position? Well... In my experience, it's hard to find an appropriate place and time to debate. You end up with folks that are too passionate or folks afraid of any sort of conflict. Ultimately, it's best just to know when to walk away early on.
  8. Absolutely.It also occurred to me that such times and places are more appropriate times to seek enlightenment through some interrogative method. People are trying to process their grief, anger and other emotions, that's hard enough without answering somebody's morbid curiosity.
  9. Another thing to keep in mind is a lot of people aren't looking for a debate, they are looking for empathy. A call for more "reasonable" discourse dismisses any emotion they may have as being insignificant and is often a ploy to wrest control of the conversation. In other words, there's a time and a place for certain discussions. If you stumble onto a part of the online community that acts as a support group for victims of racism, your "reasonable" argument that racism is not a problem is not going to be received well.
  10. All this talk reminded me of the following:
  11. Definitely a series that is good in spite of its flaws... Its many, often irritating flaws
  12. Was at a friend's house and got to try out the new Doom game. Fan...tas...tic!
  13. Heh, which in turn reminds me of the following:
  14. Shouldn't be necessary. If I faint, my cat will administer the smelling salts.Or leave me unconscious. Cats are notoriously traitorous when it strikes their fancy.
  15. I seem to have somehow arranged a date for myself. Excuse me while I hyperventilate into a paper bag.
  16. Noooo! I must somehow resist its siren meow!
  17. Only scifi/fantasy? Expand your horizons, man!
  18. I believe you are right. The Watcher is considered part of the Fantastic Four property.
  19. Yeah...but maybe he can show up in a Doctor Strange movie!
  20. I just watched a video where a guy said "This looks like a shot for shotish remake!" So, you know, it might be like Star Wars: The Force Awakens
  21. Me? I'd just go for a beer Maybe a porter...But I still might try this in the next few weeks.
  22. Being and Time by Martin Heidegger
