Not a single argument holds any water. A large part of the push for gay marriage is because taxes and other benefits are tied to marriage in a way that wouldn't function properly under polygamy. There's nothing morally wrong with it, just financially. |

The accident is the only reason Strange got his powers and there's no way a computer program could've predicted that But this isn't the reason he became a hero, it's just what enabled it. The algorithm was targeting personalities, seeing who would become a hero given the chance. |

| OctilIery 05/14/17 9:05:22 PM #12 | awesome999 posted... So chronologically, Doctor Strange happened before winter soldier because I doubt a surgeon could pose harm to SHIELD/HYDRA. No, you misunderstand what they did. Their algorithm was focusing on anyone that could potentially become a hero, not anyone who was. |

| OctilIery 05/14/17 1:11:56 PM #7 | If you want a good murder mystery, I'd suggest either going with Agatha Christie, or if you want something more obscure, He Who Whispers by John Dickson Carr. If you want just any suggestion, I'm going with City of Stairs by Robert Jackson Bennett, though American Elsewhere and The Troupe are both amazing too. |

The gunslinger is significantly different from the rest of the series. It's a very common suggestion to read the first two before judging. |

| OctilIery 05/13/17 1:31:15 AM #19 | Drpooplol posted... Tc, I saw that you were reading through all of his books. Which would you say are his best so far? My top 5 in no particular order so far: IT Needful Things The Dark Tower(cheating, but they're best taken as a whole) 11/23/83 The Stand But it's really hard to judge, there are some great ones vying for the top. Bottom 5 is pretty hard too, but so far it's The Dark Half Gerald's Game Tommyknockers Bag of Bones Cell Though I'm sure if you asked me at a different time I'd either think of something else in Bag of Bones' place, or just plain feel differently. |

| OctilIery 05/13/17 1:26:08 AM #18 | ultimate reaver posted... The beginning is kind of promising, but I remember it quickly getting very very over-stephen-kingish. I'm so far getting big deja vu for Tommyknockers. Written while drugged up, about aliens, narrative jumps around the timeline, fails to really develop any characters enough to care about the horror going on. But at least Tommyknockers seemed to have a lot of potential(I still feel if that book was a few hundred pages longer it could've been among his best), this just seems weak :/ |

Roxborough4Ever posted...i knew someone who had their CC stolen and they bought 30 copies of the same steam game when it was on sale...i told my friend whoever did it probably sold the keys to G2A but he didn't really care b/c he got his money back with Visa fraud protection That just makes you a shitty person. voldothegr8 posted... This only happened to a few developers, maybe even one, who instead of selling their game keys through the proper channels (Steam, GoG, etc) sold them privately. G2A also offered to refund the developers any keys that were bought with stolen cards if proof was provided, it never was. Facts always left out by Total Biscuit and other haters. This effects developers who go through Steam, and I'm going to assume those claims are the same as their claims that they have measures in place to stop people from selling illegitimate keys, in that they're bullshit claims but G2A throws their weight around against anyone who disputes them. |
