Re: Is the Bible necessarily supposed to be taken literally?
I do not understand how anyone can live in 2025 with 99% of all of humanity's collected knowledge at their fingertips and think that a book written thousands of years ago by people who had the barest fraction of our current knowledge regarding the universe can be taken literally. These people did n...

Re: Trump tells Walmart to raise prices due to tarrifs
That line about charging 'valued customers anything' might sound like it should all be free to his followers.

Re: NYPD wants to keep arresting journalists for reporting on them
Well it just breaks down to the idea that the cameras are there not to prevent but to gain money for police through fines. Pennsylvania still has these obviously. I did once get a warning for going over the speed limit on I-95. This is a major highway in PA that goes through Philadelphia. It's spee...

Re: NYPD wants to keep arresting journalists for reporting on them
Now with those lights with cameras. Philly has them. I just got one $100 for basically running a red light for a left hand turn. They got me in the act. I was probably rushing to make the light and didn't make it. Now compare that to another situation where I did the same thing. I accelerated to ma...

Re: NYPD wants to keep arresting journalists for reporting on them
I'm tired of the "If you have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of?" bullshit surveillance state rhetoric. But well, since it's in, NYPD, if you have nothing to hide, what are you afraid of? A bit off topic but I get really annoyed when people give that line in general, as if that's the only rea...

Re: Is Cloverfield a Bad Found Footage Film?
If Blair Witch is the gold standard. Then yes Cloverfield is lower on the scale.
But how many Found Footage films are there to scale?

Re: tng loud as a whisper
You would think that TNG would have been more let's say brutal in how they portray death in the first two seasons. Conspiracy was six episodes prior (yes first season and second season break). That you had some alien bug take over a human body cavity and then explode. Here, this episode we saw skel...

Re: DoD students fight back against book bans
This will get squashed in a way most will shudder from. A kindergarten student did not start in a lawsuit, their parent(s) did. While in the military many of your Constitutional rights are limited or suspended. So these parents may find themselves dishonorably discharged if they do not dot every I a...
