Why is that so confusing and scary for you?

Our office is open from 15 GMT to 0 GMT. I wake up around 13 GMT and go to bed around 5 GMT. If I moved across the country, all that would change.

OOOOOh, scary!

It would sure make scheduling things across countries easier, wouldn't it? Of course, if you only do business and interact with people within a 100-mile radius of where you were born, maybe you wouldn't enjoy it as much. Then again, it would be the only system you ever knew and ever had to learn.

That's interesting that a country that large and populous can operate on one time zone. Different regions wake up and sleep at different times and no one changes their clocks. Makes sense.

At some point people need to realize that they've chosen to live in a place where the sun rises late in the winter, and become OK with that fact. Adapt to it. Move work hours back or whatever you need to do, maybe just come to terms with the realities of living in the northern quarter of the planet. What's stupid is expecting a bunch of other people to change their clocks twice a year.

I'm going to say something fucking crazy, just balls-out nuts, but stick with me:

How about starting school later instead of trying to convince everyone that it's suddenly a different time now? How about making it so that children going to school and morning rush hour traffic are not the same time?

Fucking nuts, I know. But we really need to think of the children.

Indiana is a great example of what not to do for time zones.

OK, then set that as the standard time. It still doesn't sound necessary to change clocks twice a year.

What? There are people who turn on or off lights based on a clock instead of the actual level of light available?

It seems kind of ironic that your comment, which doesn't contain any actual insight, jumped up to +5. Talking about signaling.

Of course not, if Democrats did something similar they should be called out too. This has less to do with the political party at fault and more to do with the fact it's happening at all. So, if you've got any examples of stuff like what's listed in the article, feel free to call them out.

Even GTA seems like an improvement though, even though it's older. I haven't played RDR because it's not available for my platform, but I felt the same way with the Mad Max game a few years back. It started out fun but eventually it became clear that it was just a grind across a large map. Kind of the same with the recent LOTR games. I think that what separates those from GTA is that, with all of the games you might have a certain objective to get to across the map. With LOTR or Max Max or (presumably) RDR, you're taking your one form of transportation in a more or less shortest path to get there, and once you do get there you're doing something that you've done a dozen times before. With GTA, you might have a certain waypoint across the map but you can get there as chaotically as your heart desires. Everything on the small scale is random enough (traffic, etc) that it doesn't necessarily feel like you've done this same exact thing dozens of times before.

I do not plan to see the movie. In fact, I know I'm not going to, there's no reason for me to. So I would indicate on their site that I'm not going to do it. I have no idea about the characters or plot or anything else, I'm just sick of comic book movies that require impossible things and extensive CGI in order to make sense. I don't give a shit whose hands are glowing this time and what shiny thing they're looking for and which costume can violate the laws of thermodynamics to suddenly appear. But if I make that selection, you're going to connect my vote with some discussion on some other site and try to say that my vote doesn't matter because these other people have their own grievances about the movie and that this film is, in fact, universally loved and everyone who says otherwise was probably paid to vote that way?

Come on, no one else is falling for it.

A lot of people don't like comic book movies because it's the current lazy-as-shit way to get a bunch of people to pay money to watch special effects for an hour and a half. We deserve better. There are plenty of compelling stories out there.

You can express all of that on the Rotten Tomatoes website when you indicate whether or not you plan to see the movie? It's not just a selection of "I plan to see it" or "I don't plan to see it?"

Again, maybe it's a group of people tired of comic book movies trying to make their voice heard. I guarantee there are a lot of us out there.

Why would someone who wants to see the movie go to some site to say they actually don't? What do they get out of that? I'm sure they actually don't want to see the movie, that sounds reasonable.

Why are you assuming this is necessarily being gamed? Why can't it be accurate? Maybe people are finally realizing that there are plenty of compelling stories which could be set in reality which deserve to be told instead of the 37th installment of People With Superpowers In CGI(tm).

No, that's not illegal. Section 2256 of Title 18, United States Code, defines child pornography as any visual depiction of sexually explicit conduct involving a minor. If someone masturbates to kids playing on a playground, and that person creates an animation of kids playing on a playground, that's not illegal. Similarly, a parent's pictures of their naked children may not constitute child pornography as long as the pictures are not sexually suggestive. A 15 year old girl uploading a video of her showing off her cleavage, while otherwise clothed, is not illegal.

Hmm, are you trying to suggest that sex sells? That's amazing, we need to alert everyone.
