| Anteaterking 09/17/17 11:54:29 AM #17 | Does technology contribute to social phobia or does it expose us to socially inept people? Like thirty years ago wouldn't we just not ever encounter people like MarthKoopa because they'd have no way to talk to us? --- |

| Anteaterking 09/16/17 4:37:59 PM #57 | Pancake posted... Yeah, it sounds like one of the demos on electronic keyboards. I think that's part of Pinky's point though. As I've never watched One Punch Man, the only thing I have to draw on is the music itself. And it's like most piano ballads. Now apparently it's an arrangement and not the original, which is probably contributes to the MIDI keyboard feel of it (as it probably is a midi arrangement). --- |

| Anteaterking 09/16/17 1:51:28 PM #52 | CapnMuffin posted... Which is equally hilarious because Jesus himself says in the Bible that no one will predict his second coming. So by their own beliefs they're automatically wrong. It's "no one will know", so these people can always claim that despite reading the signs that they don't truly know. --- |

| Anteaterking 09/16/17 1:34:11 PM #26 | Why does this only ever go one way? Why are people happy with their state/local governments passing laws making laws against transgender people, getting into expensive legal fights over gay rights, etc. when there are jobs to consider? --- |

| Topic | One person, one vote. Kill the electoral college |
| Anteaterking 09/14/17 8:04:57 PM #148 | 1. It's not as if candidates spend a lot of time in South Dakota, Montana, Vermont, Wyoming, Delaware, etc. right now, despite the fact that they have disproportionately high electoral votes. So the idea that the current system actually makes people pay attention to the small states is silly. 2. For the sake of argument, let's pretend that a popular vote DOES mean that the city folks would decide everything. What are these city vs rural issues that aren't just proxies for Democrat vs Republican? Because the validity of the system we use shouldn't be based solely on how it affects the balance of power between the parties. --- |

| Anteaterking 09/14/17 7:42:30 PM #24 | thronedfire2 posted... Well it just said he wrote it a week before, maybe they didn't find it until after? If they did I definitely think he should be charged I mean, his counselor knew he was suicidal, so even if they didn't know about the note, that's still something. --- |

| Topic | Be honest.. How many cans of beer would it take to get you drunk slightly |
| Anteaterking 09/14/17 1:44:26 PM #34 | Okay I did some investigating, and apparently depending on your size, the cost of glass in bottling is cheaper than aluminum. But aluminum is lighter than glass, so if you are a macro-brewery, aluminum saves you much more in transportation costs and the like. But cans are better for beer from the perspective of having it last, so it would make sense that your local brewery might spring more to get it canned. --- |

| Anteaterking 09/14/17 11:52:06 AM #9 | Muffinz0rz posted... Legit don't remember the last time I've had a "can" of beer though. I stopped drinking the pisswater (bud, coors, miller) after college, and the higher-quality stuff usually only comes in bottles. This. Also, I usually can't drink enough beer to get drunk before feeling gross from drinking that much beer. --- |
| Topic | Republicans after Harvey/Irma: "Price gouging is a public service." |
| Anteaterking 09/14/17 10:10:34 AM #13 | eston posted... The people doing the price gouging don't give half a f*** about rationing This. When a lot of people are doing a run on a good, prices aren't increased so that "only the people who really need it can get it", but because they're hoping to turn a quick profit off of a short term need. Which is why many states have anti-gouging laws. --- |

| Anteaterking 09/13/17 5:24:01 PM #76 | Mal_Fet posted... Funny how the left supports firing people for making fact-based arguments with citations, but get all pissy when it's suggested that people who spread falsehoods should get consequences. If ESPN wants to fire her, they can go ahead and do it. I just don't think that the official voice of the executive branch should be publicly saying they should fire someone who criticized them. --- |

| Topic | What incentives can developers give to make people not pirate their games? |
| Anteaterking 09/13/17 3:50:17 PM #50 | Balrog0 posted... Anteaterking posted...Most people who pirate rationalize their pirating after the fact. Maybe it would have been better for me to say that people who give reasons for pirating often pirate first and come up with reasons later. kirbymuncher posted... Saying game of thrones is one of the most pirated shows is meaningless here because (very exaggerated example) a show with 100 legal viewers and 100 pirates is clearly better at getting people to watch legally than a show with 10 legal viewers and 30 pirates Sure, but it's also true that the list of most-pirated games and the list of most popular games have a lot of overlap. It's not about who has the best purchases/pirated copies ratio, but about the fact that piracy is more correlated to popularity than it is to "which companies have the worst DRM" or anything like that. --- |
| Topic | Do you think academics are arrogant and self-absorbed? |
| Anteaterking 09/13/17 3:32:41 PM #72 | I think the issue here is that some people are interpreting academic as "Someone (usually with a PhD) who is a professor or is heavily involved in academic research" and those people seem to not think academics are self-absorbed/arrogant. And then there are people who interpret academic as "Arrogant, self-absorbed people who claim to be smart" and unsurprisingly have negative opinions of those people. For the record, the term academics refers to the first definition. --- |

I agree. I was more pointing out that it doesn't matter if over 50% of people say they support single payer in a poll unless those people successfully vote in politicians who support it. --- |
| Topic | Do you think academics are arrogant and self-absorbed? |
| Anteaterking 09/13/17 1:05:41 PM #3 | I think that they are just as arrogant as the ordinary public. In my day to day life, I see more arrogant undergraduates than I do academics. --- |
| Topic | What incentives can developers give to make people not pirate their games? |
| Anteaterking 09/13/17 12:19:48 PM #33 | kirbymuncher posted... Yeah definitely convenience is a big thing, both in terms of purchasing and in terms of playing Most people who pirate rationalize their pirating after the fact. Switching to TV shows for a second, one of the most torrented TV series is Game of Thrones. Game of Thrones: 1. Has HBO Go available to people who don't want to pay for all the bloat of cable but would be willing to pay for just what they watch. 2. Has fairly good reviews. (so none of this "Try it before you buy it because there aren't good reviews argument") 3. It's a TV show, so the notion of spyware, etc. is irrelevant. But yet it's one of the most torrented shows. Why is that? Because it's popular and not free. --- |
