Steve Jobs is the best of all three of them. At least he had the decency to die.

I was with you right up until the end there.

Weight class is already built into wrestling at all levels. If it's such a concern, build it into other sports, like you said.

In the distant future, advanced beings who may or may not be descended from us (or our creations) will develop the ability to recreate everyone who has ever lived in history. A small subset of these beings will be assholes who believe it is their job and their right to judge all those recreated people and serve judgment. One of those recreated people will be a copy of me.

It won't be me, but it will believe it is me. So I should care a little bit about what my actions will do to affect that, maybe. Except I don't. It's actually out of my hands, like everything else.

I'd argue this is true of most entertainment. It works though. Cookies aren't good either, but they trick my brain into thinking it's happy for a few minutes. I'll fucking take it.

My opinion is this: if you can't be bothered to use proper grammar and spelling and express yourself clearly, you should shut the fuck up.

Can you explain the title of the thread to me? What is a "such opinion"?

You see, the secret is that humans - and especially children - are incredibly self-centered, and will rarely bother to think of the other people in the world at all. Santa is for them, not other people.

For 5 million in gold? Introduce me to Fido.

That's interesting, because for English-speakers, a baton is more closely associated with a delicate little conductor's baton, though I suppose those big twirly sticks with pompoms that cheerleaders throw are also called batons.

Can't argue with this at all, but the books aren't for everyone.

Maple Films' edit is pretty good. Chops out the majority of the dwarf backstory, all of the wizard side quests, and significantly cuts down the superfluous action sequences, resulting in a strong narrative which follows Bilbo's story exclusively, as it should.

Why else would he be writing about a movie that came out twenty years ago?

Might as well write an article about how shitty you think Lawrence of Arabia is.

Well yes, but don't feed assholes and bigots either.

The one thing that mob did right was to leave their guns in their trucks (possibly only because they wouldn't have been allowed into the area otherwise - I'm curious if any of them tried and were turned back before they even reached the protest zone). Had one of them brandished a firearm, the story of that day would have been quite different.

Not a lot of those there on that day. Funny thing, that.

In related news, praying to him for any of these things won't actually do jack shit.

You'd be surprised at how many people drive for decades without ever having lifted their own hood.

Be prepared, though. It's easier in some vehicles than others. Some will require you to move other things out of the way first just to get to the bulb. The bright side is these days there's a YouTube video for everything.

Interacting with other humans? No thank you!

Also I've never ever seen an instrument panel that indicates when a bulb is out. Maybe that's a feature on new vehicles, but not one I've ever heard of.
