    Haven't seen Age of Ultron yet. Anything in it that's likely to wind its way into AoS?

  • posted a message on How smart are you?
    The people in debate routinely blow me away with their arguments and ideas, so I don't feel comfortable going any higher than 60-70% answer. Plus going to college has been a loud wake up call that I'm really not all that smart relative to what I might have thought as a high school sophomore or so.

    I'm just disappointed that this didn't get picked up by anyone other than the Guardian :S

    You're answering your own questions. You don't know. Much like you don't know what his faith is.

    You continue to dodge the fact you said it yourself. Instead you're bringing your opinion only logic and mathematics can only be what we know (or get as close to it). If I use that reasoning I can say without a doubt you absolutely do not know.

    There's no weakness in admitting that. It's strength in acceptance of the truth. And that is you don't know.

    Judging by your dialogue you seem smart enough to get that. But I don't think you do.

    You did read his response, yes? He DID admit that we technically can't know anything besides logic and mathematics for certain. But lets be honest, this "You don't REALLY know that" argument is sort of like listening to someone get mad for being called human because we're only 99.999999999999% sure that they're human. It's technically correct, but pointless in most cases on a practical level.

    Just found this on my Facebook wall. Apparently the Chicago Police department has been found to have an off the books detention facility where they have been holding people to avoid booking them and where there have been several severe allegations of abuse.

  • posted a message on League of Legends Season IV
    Been playing my promos. Currently 3-3, with 4 urgot games and 2 ezreal games. Somewhat amusingly the 3 wins are all urgot games.

    I know that after my antics with Galio last season this shouldn't come to any surprise, but I think that Urgot is slightly underrated (considering he's widely considered the worst champ in the game, that shouldn't be a hard standard to beat). He's not getting picked in the LCS any time soon, but his damage throughout the game is pretty damn solid, and late game he's surprisingly durable.

    Sort of like those "raising awareness" things like the ice bucket challenge a while back?

    I actually heard some sort of ad on the radio recently, encouraging people to raise awareness by tweeting and doing those challenges and *****. Apparently those will make a positive change to the world.

    I was baffled.

    Not sure if you're being sarcastic, but the ice bucket challenge increased ALS foundation's donations by a pretty absurd margin. A lot of people just poured water on their heads, but that was still a huge amount of money compared to years prior.

    I just don't understand the massive love that Tokyo Ghoul gets. The story is so disjointed and plot points, especially near the end, feel like they just get thrown at the watcher without any attempt at explanation. There really aren't (as far as I'm concerned) any really memorable characters, and the ending ended up being possibly the least fulfilling I've seen since Pupa:


    Not only does this massive battle not conclude, which is going to make for a really weird start to next season, but the last episode made me want to throw up in my mouth. We sit through a solid 15 minutes of torture porn where we watch the main character, who has been a pathetic wuss throughout the series thus far, suffer to the point of snapping and turning into a sadistic cannibal? I was completely confused whether I was supposed to be feeling triumphant when he starts torturing his torturer and finishes with eating him. It was the emotional equivalent of watching an innocent rape victim turn around and rape their attacker before eating them. How the **** am I supposed to feel about that?

    I dunno, supposedly the manga does it better, but I honestly can't understand why anyone would be excited for S2, unless they're just hoping it will explain what the hell S1 was all about anyway

    I'll be honest, I would have preferred her to end up with bo'lin (their date in season 1 was adorable) but after Opal was introduced it was pretty obvious that was never going to happen. That said, I still wasn't really that interested in Korrasami, but I knew a lot of people had been theorizing about it and I ended up spending the end of the series chuckling about how delighted the internet was going be having been right after all XD

    Maybe I'm reading this guy wrong, but he seems to be a 4 drop with the ability (at least in a Green or Blue deck)
    "4: Draw at least one card"

    I'm a casual player, but that seems crazy strong by itself, forget the haste and +1/+1 ability. Am I reading this wrong, or are people forgetting that, late game, this isn't requiring a tap and you can refill you hand for 8 mana if you have at least two large bodies out. This seems absurdly strong.

    Must be a fun guy at parties; "So yesterday something happened" "WHY DON'T YOU PROVE IT!"

    As a general rule in debates, if you make a positive claim, particularly one that is relevant to the discussion at hand you are expected to be able to convincingly support your claim. In this case, as the apparent understanding of everyone else in the thread was that men have stronger sex drives, you can't simply say the opposite and not provide evidence. You're in a debate, so people aren't generally going to just take your word at face value.
