    Poll: Whats next for ID software? Doom Sequel or Quake Reboot?

    I agree completely, though sadly, I feel that the most important aspect(frantic, skill-based movement) will never make it into another game as they'd completely lose the console market.

    Who didn't see this coming? Civil War reviews are starting to trickle in.

    Just nit-picking, but up until the 18th review(the lone unfavourable one) came out, it was at 9/10 if my memory is correct, which means you could very well be mistaken if the reviews follow this trend.

    Who didn't see this coming? Civil War reviews are starting to trickle in.

    I have to agree that going the realistic, grounded route with superhero movies is often the lazy/boring way to go. Admittedly, most superhero movies are doing pretty terribly in the villain department, but it's quite clear from Daredevil Season 1 and Jessica Jones that Marvel at least...

    Poll: Meat causes cancer :O | What will you do? | Human Evolution vs. Contemporary Science?

    A significant number of these sorts of studies on red meat have historically relied on self-reporting, which introduces a host of issues, such as people lying, misremembering, or telling you what they think you want to hear. Additionally, people who eat red meat typically tend to also have...

    Uh no, as myself and someone else demonstrated earlier, they did not simply give Rikku an "apple" body type, whatever the hell you think that's supposed to mean. All they did was completely screw up her proportions and make her look like a person of small stature. Not really sure how that fits...

    Wow, if it wasn't bad enough that the whole thing was poorly thought out, and even more sloppily executed, now the media is pushing it?

    My mistake, I read your post and the measurements, but missed the text you added to the images. I assumed you were talking in absolutes.

    Fair enough. Nice ad hominem you got there. Kate Upton may look like she's healthy, and at this stage in her life can surely function sufficiently to pass for 'healthy' by current standards(which are terrible standards, btw), but what about 15 years from now? 20? Heck, while her diet is...

    I don't disagree that many behaviours and views are cultural, and social. If you notice, I didn't even say attraction is purely influenced by the mammalian hindbrain. What I am saying, is there are certain things, certain very basic human responses to things that are heavily influenced by...

    The problem with your ideal view of society, much like certain aspects of feminism, is that it would seem to be completely contrary to biology and evolution. Things like fat-shaming, thin-shaming, slut-shaming are remnants from a time when, for example, being unhealthy(too fat or too thin) meant...

    While he is wrong, and you are correct in observing that, Kate is still actually significantly more 'normal' than the post-photoshop Rikku. I've scaled the Rikku image down, and lined up both of them vertically, such that their shoulders, crotch and head are at identical heights. The red...

    Um, no offense, but have you done a google image search for Carmelita Jeter? The only reason her stomach looks like that is because the camera probably caught her just as she was heaving a sigh of relief(or exhaling deeply) and therefore her abdomen was relaxed. Pretty much any man or woman with...

    Stop being disingenuous. Anyone with half a brain can tell from your sentence structure you were insinuating that she, like most athletes who look that way are outliers. Only a person with incredibly convoluted reading comprehension could conclude you meant people who are 4'11" are outliers...

    I'm sorry, but you're kind of being pedantic. Yes, there are a few types of sports where having a higher bodyfat percentage is either fine, or beneficial, but honestly, how many can you name? Wrestling or weightlifting for sure, and maybe some golf, rugby and baseball players can get away with...
