    What's wrong with the lingerie section of the shopping catalog? That and the shower scene in Stripes was good enough for me.

    Or, you know, reddit, twitter, instagram, underwear catalogue.

    It'll be like the old days again. Loading one line at a time and chugging in anticipation.

  4. Fuck, I've just shaved my prune sack.

  5. Re: What to ACTUALLY expect is on What To Expect From Sony's Next-Gen PlayStation (wired.com) · · Score: 1

    You might have a point if your numbers stacked up. A Ps4 costs £250. A roku stick, amazon firestick, or whatever, costs less than £50 - usually a lot less. And you don't even need the roku since the playstation has Netflix and a lot more.

    A gaming Pc is £600 minimum. A reasonable graphics card alone is the price of a PlayStation.

  6. But if...
    Science!= settled

    AGW=false

    Earth=flat

    It's only logical

  7. But a bad reviews doesn't equal no sale, for me anyway. You have to judge the reasons for a bad reviews and whether it's a) a genuine issue and b) something that will affect your usage. You don't use reviews as scores, you use them as sources of information. In that regard lower scores are much more useful.

  8. Re: You need to understand the reviews on Scammers Are Buying Thousands Of Fake 5-Star Amazon Reviews -- on Facebook (thehustle.co) · · Score: 1

    Totally agree about reading the 3 star reviews. The 5 star reviews generally don't tell me anything I couldn't get from the description. The lower star reviews tell me what the downsides are, which doesn't necessarily mean the item won't work for me.

    In fact I dont trust items that are all 5 star reviews unless I can see a reason they'd all be genuine (like maybe a really good boardgame or top of the line musical instrument, just to pick random examples).

    They don't have an answer to your question. That would imply they have an actual scientific theory, but mostly they just want God to be important again.

    I did. I liked that and Solo. The 2 trilogy films on the other hand were stinkers.

  13. No. Lucky this isn't censorship.

    I noticed that myself.

    If you want Americans to hate something there's no better way than suggesting the UN wants it.

    For senior citizens living on their own. "I've fallen, and I can't get up!"

    Good idea. There are plenty of excellent alternatives with a similar flavor but less of the artificial ingredients.

  21. Re:well now ... on EU Backs Ending Daylight Saving Time (theguardian.com) · · Score: 1

    You can obviously only think in binary terms, so I'll forgive your inference that 'control' can only be 100%. What's your actual point though, besides stating the obvious?

    Let me start you off -

    socialism != communism.

    Huh?

  24. Its swings and roundabouts though. If you have a loopy idea its much easier to find other people with similar loopy ideas (flat earthers, and other conspiracy theories, come to mind). This can help to make fringe weirdness seem much less fringe. Its like a legitimacy bonus.

  25. I'm not trying to offend, but your statement pretty much reads like something which proves his point :). But perhaps that's just perspective for you.
