I'm not sure of the validity of this. Those fantasy creatures if anything tend not to have any real theology or philosophy behind them in practice. Elves steal babies and leave changelings, but why? There is no real explanation. Elves

Replace a car...could this be any more single urban yuppie bubble? In suburban areas you use your car to bring home furniture and groceries for the month. You're not using this on any road worth a darn, it's really just last mile

yeah, my first thought was how useless this is, since it's going to take a lot more time to program the robocall with the information and read the text digest of the order than it is just to call or text yourself. And this thing will h

If you've been to a mystery dinner theater, it's the same general principle, a group of people get together to solve a mystery. One is escaping a room, the other is questioning actors to solve a crime. It's just the escape ro

There are these weird fad-based franchises that pop up often and slowly die over time. Edible Arrangements (fruit arranged like flowers), Froyo frozen yogurt shops, Curves for women fitness centers, and more. You can go to a medium to large

He's saying that it's safer for him for China just to block him out of their territory than for the EU to allow him and open him up to GDPR-related lawsuits. Even if the lawsuit is scurrilous or the fines a misunderstanding and ca

I don't think this is the case. I think it's the difference between say sociology of philosophers, and philosophy. One approaches the field from the outside, one approaches it from within. Neither are particularly more rational th

I don't know if it is male dominated, Missionary activity increasingly is dominated by single women, and while pastors and leadership are often male, the entire parachurch and support aspect is probably female dominated. Religion in th

Now the issue is whether or not many F2P titles can find some form of monetization that satisfies the increasing regulation, or if they will just shutter the Eu market entirely. Apparently Jagex is shuttering the EU runescape servers becaus

I hate how westerners view Religion. "Oh, Buddhism is a thing of peace an enlightenment, as opposed to Christianity, which a vicious God condemns people to hell." Never mind the fact that Buddhism has multiple hells whether its Ch

Considering Japan persecuted Japanese Christians so ruthlessly that they went underground for hundreds of years(1), if only they would portray them as such. If anything, anime is notorious for making any Christian in it a distaff version of

This is like going to a chess club and suggesting they get rid of all the rules about chess, all of the history of the game, all of the books advising people how to play it, and that annoying ranking thing, and giving them the board and pie

I don't think you have considered this reply. Imagine getting a code yellow from a line cashier while doing your groceries, because she doesn't like the way you look. So she calls her manager and he has to ring you up, while every

Do you not think people won't figure this out, when they see the manager always serve them in a restaurant, but everyone else gets a normal waitress? When I ask that waitress for the check, and the manager comes instead after fifteen m

I'd love to make that female chef sit through a yellow status, and explain to her that she has an unsavory look and a creepy vibe. I'm sure she'd be perfectly happy being served by a manager, knowing that being served by one

I don't like articles like this. "Oh, he never really showed much of any adherence to Catholicism in his work or his public life, but he was REALLY a crypto-Catholic who had 'hidden piety.'" Meanwhile people who act

Yes, college is a vacation for them, because all of the work was done before it. Just by making it in, they've qualified, and college is their rest period before going into full-on career life.

This assumes that self-driving cars will be safer. I think this is an unrealistic idea. Look on the road some time. You see a lot of cars with dented bodywork, running one headlight, often poorly maintained, and depending on the make and mo

There is no "shared ground." Prostitution is illegal in all but one state of the USA, and that under very specific conditions. Craigslist should self police and remove posts that more or less are openly illegal in a way defined by

Its their fault they forced craigslist to shut down a section openly advertising illegal content? I love the contortions people make. It's not like sex work is even legal in the majority of western nations

LOL at craigslist being "safe." That site was always sketchy as hell.

Yes it's a bad idea. Imagine we had legalized drugs, but barely anyone wanted to make them, because making them was nasty and degrading in a way that few people could even tolerate. No matter what you did, you simply couldn't find

It got worse because no one wants to be a prostitute, and there has always been a strong coercive element to women entering that profession. When you legalize, you increase demand while the supply is still capped, so coercion rises to compe

I don't think a stand-up electric razor scooter is particularly safe if it can travel at bike speeds. The wheels are too small and will have issues with road surfaces far worse than bikes. The danger would be careless riders pitching t

When poor people do things that increase risk of injury, we hector them. When rich people do so, it's obviously that the laws are at fault.
