Yeah, I mean, you may think it's a long way down the road to the chemist's, but that's just peanuts to space.

In a much more accurate way, this is sexual selection at work.

We're talking 10 partners by age 30 - for most people that is fewer than one partner per year since becoming sexually active.

Seems pretty normal to me.

You mean the default isn't grip as strong as you possibly can?

If he can go to the lengths he did and she can't realize he's screwing with her, then what is the harm?

She was wasting resources and deserves nothing. I'd have bumped it to my superiors, but then I'm really an ass and enjoy getting dead weight fired.

Craploads of achievements so easy you'll get them anyway are.

Quests are essentially the same - when it gets to the point where you collect enough quests in a tiny hamlet that you need a map and a GPS-like tracking system to knock them all out on your circuit of the mountain ridges nearby something has gone wrong.

Less achievements, make them harder. Less quests, make them harder. (Or, perhaps to stem the tide of wailing, something else that isn't called "quest" that is much harder and has no insta-tracker, though the internet would still ruin it).

And took up some twenty four gigabytes of disc space. Once downloaded, it was probably the worst commercial game I'd played all year, and was summarily removed.

Why on earth are they making a sequel to such a bad first start?

As Anderton walks in the door, gets his new eyes scanned, and we hear a voice say:


STORE VOICE: Hello, Mr. Yakamoto! Welcome back to the Gap.
STORE VOICE: How'd those assorted tank tops work out for you?
STORE VOICE: Come on in and see how good you look in one of our new Winter sweaters.

I agree it is an old medium, but the academy moves slow in these things - Journal pubs will likely remain the stuff of CVs and tenure reviews for many years.

But I think the problem might lie in conflating *understanding* the point of view of other people with *caring* what their point of view is.

I understand other people's feelings fine. I just don't care about them other than how they directly affect me.

I keep my phone quiet by being a raging asshole to everyone I meet.

Keeps the number of texts down.

Irony can also mean:
Incongruity between what might be expected and what actually occurs. An occurrence, result, or circumstance notable for such incongruity.

We might expect someone that recognizes a debilitating condition to take steps to curtail that condition.
Sort of like someone inviting you out for a beer to tell you that they're an alcoholic.

The irony is they haven't realized the extent of their dependence at all.

We need Zor's battleship to crash land on an island in the Pacific first.

Luckily that sky man living outside his creation is effectively irrelevant to those of us living in it, so we can just ignore him and go about our day.

The information isn't really for you, it is for other homosexuals.
