No source included Wikipedia, it's independent research. It's not allowed to be "peer reviewed" research because the GMO regime doesn't allow things like that to surface.
That first article wasn't research, it was just an op ed. I'll respond to all of them tomorrow.

Someone's not good at admitting they were wrong.
Wrong about...?
Are you looking to live in a dorm or an apartment when you go to college?
Apartment. I don't think dorms exist here
That's good. Dorms are fun because they're easy and near campus but they can be pretty expensive and rundown.

Anyone want to team up on Xbone for competitive? Mains are Reaper, Symmetra, Mercy, Torbjorn, Reinhardt, or Bastion.
I would be down
When I'm actually trying I pretty much only play Torb, McRee, Junkrat and Roadhog unless I need a specific counter
I'm on now if you want to play (GT: Viva Redemption). No mic because I just moved and can't find where I packed it. Just doing quick play.

I'm starting to think that you're saying this because you were taken aback by the fact that you don't have servants to clean and cook for you, and so you type out how difficult it is to live on your own.
I don't feel a need to list chores for some dumb teen on the internet who thinks insurance is optional and believes extent of home care is cleaning the fridge and vacuuming. I didn't tell you it was difficult, I said there are significantly more responsibilities than you are aware of.

This is real freakin neato.
Is there any more information on the subject of our meats and GMOs. I know having meat from animals with non-GMO additions is a staple advertising campaign by one of my favorite Mexican food chains.
There are no GMO meats yet, though it's expected to happen eventually. The only interaction is in their feed, and at that point it's all broken down into nutrients so there's really no "contamination". Ads for "non-GMO meat" are just marketing tricks.

I would know what living on your own is like, because my parents go on vacation every summer and leave me and my brother behind.
Home alone as a kid is nothing like living by yourself as an adult.
Yeah, feels like being an adult gives you more freedom and also a bit more responsibility.
"a bit more"
Rent, utility bills, internet/cell phone bills, insurance, car payments, paying for literally every object in your house, working full time, cleaning the house, maintaining the yard, caring for pets, etc.
These are optional, except cleaning your house, which isn't something that only adults do. What do you think, I let the house get messy for 2 months? That I just reuse the clothes that I've used? Cleaning has always been something that I do.
Also, working fulltime doesn't have to do with living on your own
I'm confused about which of those you think are optional. And yes, I can guarantee that you, as a teenager living with your parents, have never cleaned or maintained a house to the extent that a responsible homeowner/renter would themselves.
You said you understand what living independently is like because your parents vacationed for a couple months as a kid and your brother worked, which is just ridiculous. I'm not trying to discourage you; I'm just giving examples of things that you should expect once you move.
What do you mean? I've cleaned the fridge, vacuum cleaned the floor, done the dishes, and cleaned my clothes. What else is there? What am I missing out on?
Are you joking?

There has never been a single confirmed case of a negative health outcome for humans or animals from their consumption. Their environmental impacts have been shown repeatedly to be less damaging to the environment, and a boon to global biodiversity.
Greenpeace has spearheaded opposition to Golden Rice, which has the potential to reduce or eliminate much of the death and disease caused by a vitamin A deficiency (VAD), which has the greatest impact on the poorest people in Africa and Southeast Asia.
The World Health Organization estimates that 250 million people, suffer from VAD, including 40 percent of the children under five in the developing world. Based on UNICEF statistics, a total of one to two million preventable deaths occur annually as a result of VAD, because it compromises the immune system, putting babies and children at great risk. VAD itself is the leading cause of childhood blindness globally affecting 250,000 - 500,000 children each year. Half die within 12 months of losing their eyesight.

Virtually all crops and livestock have been genetically engineered in the broadest sense; there are no wild cows, and the cornfields of the United States reflect many centuries of plant modification through traditional breeding. Genetically modified crops started to become common in the mid-1990s; today, most of the corn, soybeans and cotton in the country have been modified to be resistant to insects or tolerant of herbicide, according to government statistics.

Yeah, life's easier living with your parents, but you're not doing yourself any favors for your adult experience. I moved out for college, learned a lot about what living arrangement I liked (tried dorms, an apartment, etc), spent my own money, paid my rent, etc. I still call my parents for advice, but the biggest contribution to my personal maturity came from when I cut ties to them and made a life for myself.
Role models are fine, but too often parents are used as safety nets throughout college.

Good, but I'm wondering how it'll be covered by Tricare and to what extent they'll be allowed to transition. Berthing is going to be another issue.

The article, published in the Journal of Medical Ethics, says newborn babies are not “actual persons” and do not have a “moral right to life”.
They argued: “The moral status of an infant is equivalent to that of a fetus in the sense that both lack those properties that justify the attribution of a right to life to an individual.”
Rather than being “actual persons”, newborns were “potential persons”. They explained: “Both a fetus and a newborn certainly are human beings and potential persons, but neither is a ‘person’ in the sense of ‘subject of a moral right to life’. Hey Verb, remember when Meta and I were talking about how stupid (and dangerous) it is to apply logic to ethics? (And by logic, I mean things like mathematical proofs or scientific rigor, not just common rationality). It's because of examples like scientists arguing from a logical ethicist view that "personhood" is anything more than a human construct used to oppress peoples throughout history.

Some Redditor speculated that Jon's name is actually Jaehaerys Targaryen after watching the flashback scene a bunch of times. It seems baseless, but I'm sure Bran will tell him sometime in S7.
how can his name be anything Targaryen when his parents weren't married
They couldn't even have secretly gotten married because rhaegar was already married
Jaehaerys Rivers, then. The first name is the speculation.
Jaehaerys Snow. The bastard surname generally comes from where they were raised, not born. But even if it was, Tower of Joy is in Dorne.
The last name doesn't matter. The speculation is about the first name.

I'm hoping for a clash with Euron the Based. She'll ultimately triumph because dragons and stronk womyn, but won't have enough men to take the red keep once she lands in the west, so will be forced to seek Azor Jon and the north for help.
Euron has DragonBinder, He will have the dragons... Therefore he wins.
Victarion has it now, with his fleet in Slaver's Bay.

Everyone wants to be part of a victimized group. Perceived persecution is an easy means of validation without requiring accomplishment or talent.
More like everyone wants to look smart, and shitting on "conspiracy theorists" is the easiest avenue to that.
If you look at the psychology of conspiracy theorists, their beliefs are centered around a feeling of purpose and persecution validated by being part of a group-mentality, even in the face of insurmountable evidence. For instance, I can show you an unending amount of research against your anti-GMO views, but you deem everything that contradicts you as invalid, despite any evidence in your favor. Conspiracy mentalities are weirdly similar to people that are highly religious and dispute commonly accepted science, too.

Was expecting something a bit more cataclysmic, like the wall going down for instance, but oh well.
That's exactly what I was waiting for at the end. I'm thinking they'll do it in the first or second episode of S7 to set up the conflict, but otherwise the Others were basically non-existent this season, except for killing Hodor.

Yes...that's how you're supposed to drink it.
Black isn't how it's "supposed" to be served, just how it is typically done in America. Brits traditionally add milk to their teas, and sugar or lemon is common, too. The only right way to drink tea is however it tastes best to the drinker. The only legitimate "rule" is that you should drink loose leaf teas black.

It's already confirmed that the characters exist in separate timelines: "The timelines between the various storylines don’t necessarily line up within a given episode. For instance, the ‘Northern Tour’ Jon and Sansa embark on would probably take a couple weeks, but Arya’s storyline over the past few episodes only spans a few days. We realized a while ago that if we tied ourselves in knots trying to make all the ‘story days’ line up between all the characters the momentum would suffer." The Verge has a pretty decent article about it.
