It's 75% off because of overwhelming demand? Where do they think we learned economics, from speeches promoting Obamacare?

No, there was a 75% sale and due to overwhelming demand they are extending the sale (maybe the site went down?)

That's like, the opposite of how sales should work! You only extend sales if you're desperate for more buys.

To be fair here, what you tell the customer about the sale is not necessarily the same thing as why you're actually doing the sale

Well, right.

I'm just saying there's no reason to actually believe it's because of "overwhelming demand."

Most of those have 200+ up votes and are the highest voted comments on the thread. The ones they are deleting (or getting BIGLY down voted) are ones saying he didn't actually mean kill and "we shouldn't feign outrage like the left".

Of course. This is how Trump supporters are.

If you showed people two pictures with one being Comp video game players and the other being actual swimmers doing laps, cyclists or some other sport and asked which picture contained athletes, sports or physical activity almost nobody would pick the gamers. Hell even people that do associate them with those might still pick against the gamers.

What about a picture of comp video game players next to a picture of a guy shooting. Or riding on a horse (and not even racing).

You've clearly never fired a gun competitively or ridden Dressage if you think the rider or shooter isn't an athlete.

I never said they aren't athletes.

He's talking about looking like physical activity, though.

They'd still pick the horse and the shooting. But that's probably as much from what people are conditioned to think as anything else.

Well, right.

I'm not really doing anything but making a comment of basing an entire judgment on "Does this look like physical activity or not" isn't the best idea.

Sure. Post the posts. Because it has not happened. Almost everything I have been accused of saying and lambasted by others, if you look at my actual posts, has never actually been said.

You actually did accuse... I think either Jakyl or Tony of lying for posting a list of jobs that they said they had and didn't offer health insurance. You said they were either lying or got paid under the table.

Granted, that's the only one I specifically remember, so saying you do it all the time isn't really fair, but. It did happen atleast once.

So in a rare moment of "listening to the other side" there was a former Planned Parenthood executive claiming that all PP centers have to meet an abortion quota and I'm legit interested if any of this is verifiable.

A few months ago a former PP employee claimed that, but the center she worked at didn't do abortions to begin with, so her claim was very dubious.

I wonder if it's the same person.

I think the reason it looks more like midday is because it's still on four legs. If it was on two legs, I think people would be saying it looks more like midnight. They basically added every characteristic of midnight that they could without putting it on two legs. >_>

It literally only has Midnight's reverse mane. The tail, the paws, the neck tuft and the spikes jutting out of it, and of course the quadraped stature... that's all Midday. It really IS barely a hybrid. They could've gave it a lot more Midnight.

Like, here's how I'd design Dusk:

Keep it on four legs, but make the front paws bigger and spread out the digits a bit

Shorten the tail

Nix like half the neck fur but keep half the neck spikes

Add one rock "rib" on either side of its chest

Boom. A perfect hybrid that doesn't just look like a recolor with one new detail slapped on.

Sure, you could do that, but it'd look bad. >_>

I think the idea they were going for is midday turning into midnight.

Your idea kinda results in like... Abomination getting ready to fight the Hulk

I think it's better this way, to be honest. In Splatoon 1, if one team was decently more popular than the other, it was almost impossible for the less popular team to win, which killed incentive to play. And they tried to counter it by having wins count for more and more (Originally it was win% x2 + votes, then win% x4 + votes, then win% x6 + votes), and it was kinda just getting ridiculous and broke things in the opposite direction, so then the more popular team could almost never win

And frankly, ice cream had the popularity even MORE skewed in its favor (76-24 vs. 73-27) and won, so the system isn't really broken like people are suggesting. Mayo just had a better ratio of better players.

Exactly what raptor said - he's acting like loving his wife is some act of heroism.

Ok, so, is any guy who talks about how great his wife is and how much he loves her guilty of this? If not what is the difference?

I assume the difference is that most people don't go "Here are a bunch of things people call flaws that she has, but I love her anyway, and women should hold out for a man like me"

The tone is a little... Interesting. Like, what's the point of continually pointing out things and how they're flaws to people

And then gross is going to knock out people like Kevin Hart who got big more lately moving from a different career to acting, and then doesn't give more recent people like Michael B. Jordan and Anthony Mackie a shot, etc. Also kicks out people who were big ten+ years ago but slowed down, like Ice Cube and Martin Lawrence, etc.

But this would also apply to white people and I imagine that averages out the numbers on paper.

Well, right. What I mean is that gross isn't the best metric for who is a "superstar," not that it'd have an effect on the gross list itself.

Like, would you say Kevin Hart and Ice Cube are not superstars?

I would have never guessed some of those. I don't even know who Tyrese Gibson is.

So 85/15, better than I thought at the very least. Thank you for taking the time.

Which is about on par almost perfectly with the race percentage

That said, I wonder how they score it overall. Like, it feels like Tyler Perry should be a lot higher, for instance.

Morgan Freeman
Eddie Murphy
Will Smith

(The Rock)
Zoe Saldana

Straight you, name more than 10 black superstars in Hollywood and I'll admit it isn't as bad as I say.

Since I already kinda bit at this, define "superstar" so I know what you're looking for.

Honestly I just wanna see where you eventually hit 10 people on the top average salary list, even if by the time you get there it's not anyone huge.

I don't really think that's a good metric, since people that got big lately aren't likely to be very high. And that would skew white, since there are a lot more long-history'd white actors than black for obvious reasons.

I'm done with this here, sorry for the mess. I'd still be interested in that metric.

3/10, which is 30%. Which is disproportionate to percentage the race actually makes up, so...

And actually, when you add Smith and Washington, who you named on your own admission, that's 5 already.
