Plot twist: Jeffrey Dean Morgan just got really into character and ended up murdering the cameraman instead of one of the characters.

Why precisely does the second amendment exist? It was created to keep leverage against the government wasn't it?

I'm actually part of the camp who believes that the "being necessary to the security of a free State" shows the real intent as being able to put up some resistance to foreign threats, not our government, as we were given the means to bring about change to that in very peaceful means via the constitution itself.

So if our military is more than capable of defending the country, is a citizen's right to own a weapon nullified?

It would be very difficult for the military to defend against itself.

I'm not sure what that has to do with what Das said.

But unless there's an active invasion of the US mainland, active duty forces can't do shit unless your commander in chief happens to be  Lyndon B. Johnson.

Well then what foreign threats would the citizenry need to defend against if the military can respond to it?

I couldn’t understand it—until I realized that these gamers are from privilege who are students or recent graduates, which means there is a certain level of free time and financial support at their disposal.

Oh for fuck's sake.

Jewish theology is the shit. If you ever have a chance to attend a service at a synagogue, give it a go.

As for 'el', it's a common suffix in Biblical figures and the writer that came up with Kal El saw them as influences for his character, particularly Samson.

If a woman and a man have identical marks on their sheets, passed the same tests, can carry the same amount of weight, and only the man is allowed to serve in combat, that's discrimination.

Alrighty, but that has nothing to do with my original response arguing against your claim that avoiding discrimination is more important than combat effectiveness. Arguments against women in combat are substantially deeper than PT test scores.

Discrimination for discrimination's sake is bad. Of course. That isn't what is happening, though.

Maybe the next generation of Teslas. I'd get one now if I was in the market and that was my price range.

A boost in combat effectiveness doesn't matter if you have to discriminate against certain demographics to get it.

Yes, it does. The average male isn't even fit for combat roles. It's not about men or women, it's about the physical and mental fortitude to accomplish a mission. Very few men are cut out for it, and significantly fewer women are too.

Fox Amiibo get you the retro arwing from the original Star Fox




Falco amiibo gets you a black arwing:





This might actually make me buy a Falco amiibo honestly.

$13 for what amounts to a weapon skin

These should be unlockable, not behind a paywall.

True. Though the idea of one particular amiibo giving you extra value in several different games is a cool idea.
But there is a problem: usually one amiibo doesn't provide that, you need several different ones.

I'd be totally down for it if the rollout wasn't so slow, like if they'd implemented it for a lot of their games early on. Right now it seems like the only game amibos are good for, besides their main game, is Smash Bros.

So apparently now you can buy little wifi-enabled devices that have a button you press which, when linked to your Amazon account, will automatically order and ship the corresponding item. So for example, you'd put the one I linked in your bathroom and press it when you're down to your last roll, and the next business day you'd have more toilet paper delivered free to your door (assuming you're a Prime subscriber). They have this for dozens of common household items, from paper towels to condoms. And another item that's currently being privately tested lets you do the same thing but by scanning a barcode, so it works for basically anything.

The futer is now.

Decent video. Not sure the Destiny example holds up, since men and women do tend to sit differently, and I wonder if she'd make the same criticism over a pose where the woman sits with her legs spread apart like the male character does. Also, Catwoman is a sexual character; part of her well-established persona is being a seductress -- though that tends to apply to quite a few women in comics.

Derivative.

Haven't done Jacobians in a long time, and calc 3 in general was a blur, sorry.

Wuestion

Responding only to the premise in the OP, I think this correlates to another bit of research posted on here, concluding something along the lines of conservatives being more able to understand their opponents' viewpoints rather than make some mental caricature of it. Understanding where someone is coming from, and still disagreeing, seems like it would lead to less condescension.

Of course conservatives do it too, but it does feel like it's to a lesser extent, though that could just be a result of under-representation in media.

But Republicans think that absurd cost and damage to the economy is worth not having those damn wetbacks taking our jobs.

Many do, yes, and they need to learn that they're wrong.
