What happened 2 years ago that generated topics...
Was that Crimea, israeli-palestinian tensions on the rise or ISIS/Syria news?

Ho ho, that pointless debate took it's time. If you ever want a hot topic, argue with Verb, the page count doubles triples.
But man, 2 months is pretty high. Sounds like a cumulative thing for other shit he might've pulled. A one-off impression of Silence of the Lambs I couldn't see dishing out that much time.

Only for games I'm 50-50 on.
Normally I'm already set on whether I want a game or not, but the reviews can highlight small problems to be aware of.
E.g. Fallout 3;
"Negative - The graphics are bad". Irrelevant.
"Postive - (long winded review)...but alt-tabbing doesn't work, so don't multitask". That stuff would be useful to know.

In with the [Current Year] out with the [Not-Current Year].
Glad it's over tbh. Half of it involved dissertation work and the other half stressing over deadlines. Not much fun in between.

Pineapple is nice, but I prefer other toppings over it.

Samsung Galaxy S5.
Got it for my early christmas present after my S4 Mini crapped out one day and couldn't reboot.

I often skip Father's dialogue to tell me he's my son and shit. So long winded when you've heard his Institute recruitment spiel 3 times already, albeit impressive the first time you hear it. Skipping dialogue on the first playthrough/listen(for multiple dialogue options) is a cardinal sin, but afterwords hearing it again isn't worth the time I could be spent doing the rest of the game including parts I've missed before. Fallout 4 has a lot of this. It doesn't really matter what option you choose for dialogue as most of the time the conversation is driven by the NPC anyway, so after 1 or 2 playthroughs you memorise main character stories and a few interesting NPC's, like the "Chargecard" guy.

The Road, by miles.
In CoM, people are suspicious but largely civil, with the odd little resistance group or two causing trouble. In TR, everyone is suspicious of everyone to a point that it's easier to just shoot and rob/eat them first and save the trouble of talking to them, short of "WHY ARE YOU FOLLOWING US?"
CoM - Medium level dystopia where reproduction is (almost) non-existent but you can still live in relative comfort until death (food,water, utilities, a system of government, etc). The (almost) is the game changer though, making this whole scenario reversible. The sight of a fucking baby crying stopped fighting.
TR - Looks like some nuclear armageddon peaked sometime a few years ago, and now shifting through the ashes and raiding others keeps you alive. Comfort is finding a good shelter and food for the night, or finding valuables on a couple worth robbing, maybe eating or raping for later. The only thing a crying baby could do here is add another mouth to feed, a noise to get you caught whilst hiding, or a portable meal.
So yeah, The Road is very much fucked in comparison to Children of Men.

I thought it was good, although some things were a bit dodgy; Spoiler Fucked-up-face and Butt-face in Jeddha shortly before it's destruction. They're there for the cameo stuff, sure, but if they survived to the next movie they somehow left in some small window of time that meant they didn't see the fucking moon of a Death Star appearing. Or, they did and just noped the fuck outta there before they got blasted too and decided to tell literally nobody about it in the time in between the destruction of Jeddha and the destruction of the first Death Star, because nobody except the rebels acknowledge it's existence. In other notes; Spoiler I found it funny to see Scarif empire archive installation getting vaporised. Literally:

Just point to the Irish as example. As White as fucking printer paper and yet; - were slaves - if not slaves, second class citizens ("no blacks, no dogs, no irish") -  But as Luciana said, arguing about it on FB is about as retarded as the people bringing it up in the first place. Let em publicise their ignorance and move on.

Should be fun to watch the zealots flip their shit.
Also, TIL there's a Men's Day. Jeez, I wonder why that hasn't been mentioned at all?

Sometimes it's as simple as playing a mission or two after the tutorial.
Other times it depends on whether the game's the problem or if I'M the problem (usually by not reading the instructions properly and royally fucking things up with hiw I play), which can take a while.

Plagiarism is just bad.
Citing yourself is a bit iffy, unless it's some high-level peer-reviewed serious publication. It's a gamble though, as if your cited work is fundamentally flawed with inconclusive results, the current work will be also flawed, possibly even more incorrect if interpretations were based on the previous ones.
In uni-level work it's just unnecessary. I am no expert on the topic I'm still learning the basics of, so my earlier report on the subject based on others' work can't be my source for the new one. The old sources can be, but not my work, which is basically a restatement of what's already been said and could hardly be called original.

Scary? No.
Annoying as fuck when they headbutt lightbulbs and make the whole room flicker with shadows? Yes.

Meh, not sure if it matters.
He picked up a weapon as a journalist? He's no longer a journalist, he's a target.
If he were somehow able to abuse his status as a journalist (i.e. meet up with the leader of some group, then pull out a concealed pistol and kill him), then THAT would be a problem.
