You don't understand, 4d chess, it's like golf - a low score is a good thing. He has the best score of any president ever.

He does his laundry list of excuses even of outlandish claims which are applied also to the things that are true. The person who said it is untrustworthy, and if they aren't they're misinformed, and if they aren't it was about someone else, and if it wasn't you're missing context, and if...

I think that's one of those "if smoke, then fire" scenarios. I do not think anyone is surprised with the finding. I think it's more surprising on how long it took to be found out.

Wasn't part of his original campaign strategy to remind people just how smart he was because he was able to avoid paying X amount of tax?

When this series has an equivalent of an insult spewing Scotsman with a machinegun prosthetic leg getting into a violent confrontation over who steps aside on a bridge - then it might get my interest. For now, guy yells at prehistoric beasties and stabs them. Sometimes he gets cut up, then...

OK.

It might essentially force companies to develop two types of product, one that's aimed at China and one that's aimed at... notChina. Then they'll realize that it's cost prohibitive to adhere to China's ridiculous censorship laws. The idea of all the spectators in a stadium waving "Free Hong...

The solution each time is just stab as many beasties as possible as quickly as possible. The only one with much difference is episode 3. Caveman and Dino don't like each other much, slowly build a bond, fight prehistoric creatures each time. Failure to kill creatures is the only path to disaster.

In the scenario where one person surprises the other, I'd still much rather be the person doing the surprising than be the one being surprised. The best way to win a fight is to start a fight. Because you have engaged on your terms. If the terms are not favorable, you have the choice of...

The British Empire outlawed slavery BEFORE the Industrial revolution, not during. That being said, I am too pessimistic to believe that it would have caught on as much had productivity not been so high from mechanization. That said, nations where slavery is still practiced today are some of...

In this scenario, the "robber" was a police officer trained in the use of the firearm.

You're assuming perfect reaction time of the person being surprised here. Typically the first shot in any combat is the most decisive. A wounded individual's capacity to defend themselves drops significantly. Who shoots first, especially when the other party is completely unaware of the...

This attitude contributes to the perpetually accelerating cycle of violence in the US.

There is no justification for a wellness check turning into a homicide of the person the wellness was supposed to be checked upon. The statistics provided by Specter Von Baren though highlight why this event came to pass. Police officers are paranoid, but they have cause to be. I am not...

It doesn't appear to be much of a "story". Every episode is essentially the same thing with different environments. The style is great, it's beautiful and well edited. But the substance as to what is going on is very very shallow. I guess you're right then... he's great at telling this story...
