I agree it was stupid. My point was simply that the Darwin awards have actual criteria beyond "Well, that was a dumb idea" and some of those people, however unsound their judgement, would not be eligible.

One technicality: people are not eligible for Darwin Awards until they are adults as teenage minds often don't act rationally even for individuals who will eventually grow up to be intelligent, reasonable beings. So a couple of those stories would not count, even if they did result in death or...

War has always been hell. The "Honor and Glory" angle was perpetuated by the people who needed soldiers. They would lure in peasantry with those sorts of promises and, inevitably, most would die horrible deaths far from home or be unable to adapt back to civilian life. If you were on the...

The movie studio theme park in Disney World is still called MGM as far as I'm concerned (or "The theme park formerly known as MGM") Xfinity is still Comcast too, even if they keep moving away from it. Then there are phrases, like "Roll down your window" even though we just use buttons for...

I watched it until halfway through the second season. It was...well, it was more good than bad. Or at least its bad was more tolerable than others. It has the typical TV-show problems: shoe-horned love plots, episodes that just spun the wheels, never spending enough time on the coolest...

To quote the (otherwise unmentionable) third Jurassic Park film, "Some of the worst things imaginable have been done with the best intentions." I think that Tyrion is changing her mind, though. His speech to her about how she was starting to sound like her father was very on-the-nose and it...

Your only evidence are the actors they chose to play them in the show and fan art? The books specifically say that Jon looks more like a Stark than any of his siblings besides Arya (in fact, this makes Catlyn hate him more) AND, furthermore, Arya is said to be the spitting image of Lyanna...

Rare for steak, bison, lamb, etc. Medium Well for burgers (you can get sick if they're too rare) Raw for fish if its safe. Aside from that, most other meats (pork, poultry, freshwater fish) can make you sick if you eat them undercooked. Despite what people may think, eating...

I like alcohol. I like the taste of good beer, wine, or whiskey. I like being buzzed or tipsy, and I especially like hanging out with friends who are in the same state of mind. However, I have never been black-out drunk, nor have I ever done anything I seriously regretted the next morning (there...

I have a question for folks who both read the books and watched the show: Is Stoneheart going to make an appearance? Previously, the writers said no, but that was before GRRM told them how the story would end. In recent weeks, the show 1. Reintroduced the Blackfish and made his capture...

Typically, the character that is supposed to be me will be male (so, my canon playthroughs of Mass Effect and Dragon Age, for example), while subsequent playthroughs will typically be female because I find it easier to roll play distinct characters as women. If I play a guy, I tend to make the...

One word: HYDRA. The previous Cap movie revolved around one the most powerful government agencies in the modern world having been infiltrated by one of the evilest organizations in the modern era, and the realization by Cap that he'd been doing their dirty work ever since he thawed. After...

Have been curious about it, but not hyped up. Its a lot of fun, more fun than Team Fortress 2. The wide variety of characters and playstyles is nice. That said, I'm worried about the future: will the limited objectives and maps eventually get boring? I think more objective variety wouldn't go...

I actually agree on the spirit of your points. I still think MoS is not a good movie (though not terrible) and I think BvS is trash, but I feel like BvS had a lot of great ideas (and some bad ones) and the actors really brought their A game. Its problem was that it was bloated, overstuffed. Its...

Is she? I thought the whole reason why they included her to begin with was because they thought people in NA would be more comfortable fighting a pre-op trans woman than a cis woman. Nevermind, I found the source: "Let's set the record straight: In North America, Poison is officially a...
