I'm the same person I am when I'm sober but clumsier and with weaker inhibition. I characterize a person by their intent and desires rather than their actions--that is their true self--and when I'm drunk I still want and like the same things but my ability to control my behavior is just as...

I have a hard time taking anyone seriously when they casually use labels like racist or sexist or sjw if I disagree with them or do something of which they don't approve, so I don't really worry much about it. If I think what they're saying is influencing a third party's opinion of me then I'll...

It's so much caps and straw, man. I apologize for upsetting you so much that you had to resort to Internet yelling, though. But actually my argument is that if you're unwilling to help yourself when you are very much capable of doing so then you shouldn't expect anyone else to help you. And...

Technically, you can't "know" comic book characters because they aren't real. Highly trained in martial arts... lol. It is true for all crimes wherein the "victims" allow themselves to be victimized. Just because something is arbitrarily defined as illegal doesn't mean the person it happens...

The worst thing that happened to him was the equivalent of someone bumping into him in a crowded area and even then he could have shut it down if he wanted to do so. Let me know when they release the footage of her doing something significantly worse than slightly displacing him. Maybe he...

It was consensual for the character because he had the power to stop it and did not. It's every white-knight's fantasy to step up in defense of the defenseless when an aggressor is bullying them, and that's exactly what happens when a man does it to a woman. The same isn't true of the reverse...

I'm pretty sure most of you would say I'm a misogynist and I still laughed my ass off at that video. The guy was a gigantic ****. Look, women are physically weaker than men; he was in no danger of being overpowered by her and could have defended himself, but he chose not to. Despite his...

1. His attacks are easy to dodge, you're either lagging because the laggy game is laggy, or you're not rolling at the right time. Also, you mentioned Old Knight's armor. That's very heavy. Are you above 70% weight rating? If so, take some of that heavy armor off so you can do a faster roll. You...

I like it but I don't like it. This is my first real incursion into the BF franchise--the last time I played was the demo for Battlefield 1942 waaay back when, and I hated that I was able to destroy tanks with grenades and small arms. I still don't like the way the combat, pacing and vehicles...

The gameplay needs to be slightly more challenging. If I could beat Super Mario Bros. 2 when I was a kid, kids today could stand a tougher challenge from Pokemon. Not too much, of course, I'd still like it to be a relaxing experience, but for the most part I was able to one-shot a lot of the Gym...

Nothing's beyond humor; to say otherwise is to completely miss the point. The whole point being that it's a positive experience, not a negative one. It's great for conflict resolution and as a coping mechanism or, at the very least, an easy way to make the best out of a bad situation. Those who...

David Cage is the M. Night Shyamalan of video games. Actually, I think he's worse than his role model(he actually said he's a fan of Shyamalan, so that should tell you all you need to know about both him and his work). That's quite an accomplishment. I liked the atmosphere and ideas of Heavy...

I forgot to answer the OP in my other posts, so here goes--I'd more or less leave availability alone but improve controls on accessibility and maybe raise some taxes to offset the financial burden the freedom places on society. You can't go overboard with taxes though because at some point it...

Sometimes yes, mostly no. Ultimately the sport is symbiotic, but the personal rewards of meat and trophies and the thrill of the hunt far, far outweigh some misplaced sense of civic duty to save us all from the unimaginably terrible antlered ones when most people decide to pick up a gun and go...

For everyone saying that hunters should be able to retain their preferred guns, why? There are fewer hunters than target shooters in the US, and they're actually harming living beings, so why do they deserve special treatment? Even if they eat what they take, how is that pleasure any more...
