Interestingly, lots of games and movies seem to assume that there are certain classes of "people" that it's just OK to kill. Orks, zombies, nazis, terrorists, aliens: be sure to shoot first!
This doesn't bode well for future screenplays. Once they figure out what works, they'll write the scripts to sell the products. We'll be nostalgic for the days of mere product placement.
The best proof we have for it so far is that if it isn't there the model we use doesn't work.
That's kind of how science works: you notice an effect, assume there is a cause, generate some guesses about what that cause might be, and then start weeding them out.
Pedestrians have the RoW where I currently live, and I think it's an insane policy. One person screws up, the other suffers. Where automobiles have the RoW, it's the person who screws up that suffers.

I keep hoping he'll interrupt a debate by throwing his toupee into the air and crying "Culture Jam!!!", but I don't give him that much credit.
I wonder if all those people in pursuit of 72 virgins realize that souls don't have dicks?
Though history shows that you can stretch either just about as far as you want.
Consider how Christianity went from The Sermon on the Mount to burning people alive for non-conformity.
It's the American Dream to accidentally create one of the world's most enduring conspiracy theories.
Glad to know that the EU is run by lobbyists too.

Commentary on D&D by a Dr. Spear? That's a pretty suspicious last name, if you ask me.
Is his first name Shake?

Eye-witness testimony is nigh useless even when people aren't deliberately fabricating. The human brain is just too "flexible" for that kind of thing.
How about adding up all the time served by the people who got false convictions, then doubling it.

Might have something to do with that story voting thingy.

That's my favorite explanation.
Note that unlike Ockham, I think we should go with the most fun of the hypotheses that haven't been ruled out, rather than the simplest.
The next version will support e-mail too.
Money is evil, and should be turned over to people who are trained to handle it safely.
Surely it isn't legal everywhere yet?
As I recall it, Hamurabi was as entertaining as any computer game today, but didn't hold your attention very long.
OTOH, we're getting a lot fewer Tesla and Bitcoin ads^w stories.
Actually, first they came for John Connor's mother.

Excellent post.
FWIW, I knew there was going to be trouble as soon as they stuck a flag on the ruins of the WTC.
What business success?
IBM did, however, manufacture M1 Carbine rifles for the US during WWII.
Sounds odd, though I suppose carbines could be considered to be a type of "international business machine".
One hypothesis is that a lot of the candidates are just running to drive up their speaker fees and the demand for them to speak.
