Given the trailer for this movie I think the tagline should be "no fun allowed."
Glorious, isn't it?

I can't say it's my favorite portrayal of Superman, seeing as he makes out with Lois Lane as the ashes of millions of people killed fall upon them.
I don't really have a favorite portrayal of any of them, as long as it's not just meaningless banter aimed at 10 year olds. Doesn't have to be depressing, but I love the darker movies.

Something about open back phones just irks me... but yeah, you really can't go wrong with something from Sennheiser's lineup. Them Germans always make good shit.
Meh, nothing against open back. That fuller and larger sound man.

Buy Bose. Seriously so much better than beats and definitely don't buy skull candy. I've had 3 pairs that just stopped working
Bose's main strong suit is noise cancelling. They're definitely good headphones, but if you are not specifically looking for something to block external noise, there's better choices than Bose.
what would you recommend then? are sannheisers really that amazing? never used them
Not saying that Bose isn't great, but they should really be considered primarily for noise cancelling. They're also very pricey for what they actually offer and are considered somewhat overrated.

Sennheisers are top notch. They offer extreme audio and built quality at a reasonable price. Reasonable being expensive, but not too expensive for what they offer. The HD 800's that I got to try out at their store were hands down the best headphones I've ever used. A lot of people consider Sennheiser the best "general" brand. They are great for audiophiles, while not focusing on anything in specific (like DJ purposes, noise cancelling, fancy designs...).

Other really good general brands are Audio Technica (which does tend to market primarily towards DJ's and studio purposes), AKG, Shure and Sony's upper line. Great sound and build quality, solid products and good money-value ratio.

Then there's the really fancy brands that go just as much for style as for sound quality. Grados, Beyerdynamic and Bang & Olufsen come to mind. These usually are pretty exclusive and of hand-crafted quality, but that comes at a price. If you're just going for good quality and comfort, I'd avoid these unless you want to spend the extra money on the looks / brand name.

Either way, you can't really go wrong if you go with the upper line of any of the established brands I mentioned above. I love Sennheiser because I think they look great, sound amazing, are very well made (dat German engineering) and have a great customer service / reputation. They've always been my prefered brand for those reasons. But that is mainly personal preference, and there's many other good choices. But if I was BC and had the money to spend, I would go for Sennheiser's HD 800's.

This belongs in Serious?

There could be a serious discussion
There hasn't been, though. There isn't anything about this thread that really concerns politics.
Flee if you move this thread an orphan will die and be left on your doorstep.
Sucks to be an orphan then, I suppose.

Is it anything like the previous games? Because Arkham Asylum + City were a boring counter attack fest.
Knight's combat requires you to rely on more than your counter button/key. As OP said, there is a lot of variety among enemies in each fight. You're gonna have to adapt and change your attacks about every second.

That being said, it's still a Batman game. I haven't met anyone that's hated the combat system, but if you didn't like Asylum or City (somehow) then I guess it would only make sense for you to not enjoy Knight either.

(Knight is still a pretty damn fun game)
I just thought it was boring, that is all. Very comparable to AC, in my opinion. Too much countering and whatnot.

Fellow Christians are probably offended by the drinking. If you don't stop now, you're going against the bible.

Also, how are you liking the Guinness?

Been to several movies in several different states and there always were people clapping. From my experience, it's definitely true.

Thanks everyone
Seriously though, as someone who suffered from a ton of nosebleeds when I was younger: get something cold and wet when you apply pressure. The cold will make it so that your veins automatically contract, which will help with the bleeding.

An excerpt of some comments on a conservative patriot facebook page I just read.

Quote
So everyone is saying Human Rights... & Love Wins... Love wins is when a mother's womb is the safest place on earth!

America is falling apart faster than I thought under Obama. Get ready.

what gives them the right to overturn the rights of people who voted to ban same sex marriage?

We where founded a Christian Nation. Now we are not anymore.

In the bible it says marriage between a man and a woman.....i think same sex marriages are sick!!!!!

gay marriage is more related to beastiality, if an it can marry an it, then an it can marry anything.

its not gonna end, now they got what they wanted but theyll want more!!

this is so sick obama is gay and he is not a christain

Welcome to the United States of Sodom and Gomorrah

im sure the gay marriage decision will outlaw traditional marriage

Bible says adam & eve...not adam & steve... These damn liberals are KILLING our country!!

The Supreme Court just voted to overrule the Bible. Very sad.

 This Country is Over. No such thing as rule of Law !!!! (oh the irony)

The government might have to accept same sex marriage but I dont ! And that flag offends me so take it down !

They can kiss my ass right square in the middle. Marriage is between a man and women... PERIOD... Bastards are nothing more that a cow patty in the pasture that attacks flies.... (I like how this guy's inability to spell accidentally translates into advocating polygamy)

Makes me wonder if there are so called gay Christians who perform sex in a homosexual way. What do they think is excused?

I'm not a bigot but I think the Supreme Court made the wrong decision based on my christian beliefs and the the word of God. (hue)

This opens Pandora's box. Polygamy will now be legal and so will all other un natural relationships. The sanctity of marriage is dead.

WE ARE DOOMED AS A COUNTRY

That's way gay! Marriage is a union between a man and woman period!

All supreme Court judges should be disbarred and handcuffed and lead off to there own state to never been heard from

First gay marriage next phedifiles will be given rights!!!

These people genuinely exist. These people vote and affect policies. Fucking hell.

Serious / Re: Economics AMA
« on: June 26, 2015, 03:31:42 PM »
Hopefully that's coherent enough for you; if you have any other specific examples I'll try to explain them as best I can.
No, I understand. It more or less matches the answer I thought of. It's still something that taints the field of economics imo, though. I can't help but get rid of the impression that a lot of it comes down to numerous groups / specialists all coming up with a different interpretation of data and different choices of policy, all founded on really solid arguments, and that when one gets adopted and ends up being different that predicted, all the others basically respond with "told you so, idiot".

Like I said, I'm no expert, but this has always been one of my main gripes with economics.

What is your opinion on the inconsistencies in economics?

I'm no expert myself, but financial / tax / economic law has been a big part of my education. One of the few things that has always struck me is how inconsistent it is. By that I am refering to the many different schools and economists disagreeing on pretty fundamental things. There are dozens of extremely intelligent and highly educated people with a very good understanding of economics coming to completely opposite conclusions.

One of the cases where this is very apparent is how people criticise institutions (IMF, ECB...) for making terrible choices. I am not defending these institutions one bit, but they are some of the most renowned economic facilities in the world. The people working there are among the best in their field, having spent decades of their life getting an excellent education and a ton of practical experience, yet I've seen you criticise these people who combined have more experience with and insight in economics than we could ever dream of having. Yet all of this aside, I have seen people criticising them and going as far as calling these institutions absolutely moronic for making a certain choice.

I know I'm doing a terrible job at putting this into words, but I hope my point is still somewhat clear.
