Ignoring of course the fact that those Taliban will summarily shoot him, ending his VR experience. Reality has and always will trump fantasy regardless of how intense the wish is.
"A unicorn uses the idea of horse + horn..." El wrongo. That's recent and is actually the minority view. Unicorn means a beast with one horn (typically chimeric), a rhino, narwhal, a specific gold coin, a three horse team harnessed with one as leader, a howitzer, and any of several certain plants. Why then should we take your jargon-laden last sentence as any more correct?
What an amazing display of pseudo self importance. I make things too. This is no way elevates me as you seem to think it does you, nor does it demote the importance of things that can be hacked. They're simply different types of things.
Scalzi is also contracted with an old style publisher, so he has a vested interest in railing against anything that doesn't have to go through the winnowing process and can compete with him directly.
Dude or dudette, I'm solidly atheist as one can tell by examining my posting history and I took Tyson's post to be exactly that, trolling on purpose. I hate atheists that do that kind of thing just as much as I hate religious people who do it. He was being a douche.
Atheists enjoy celebrations too. Mid winter is just a celebration. I enjoy the celebration, the joy, the extension of good will and feelings and especially the songs that simply broadcast happiness. Being snide simply comes across as being snide, not clever.
"should someone else come to power in the US that didn't like the freedom they'd just get rid of it anyway" - This is simply a facile argument and should be treated as such.

All you're pointing out is that some atheists are willing to game the tax system. Much like some theists do.
As can the lack of all three.
"Maybe being a cunt magically transforms you in to an atheist." But, I thought you stated you weren't atheist?

I love it when pedants think they're onto something.
It's a very good implication. Yours is the strained implication.
Gain them zero? And you don't do things that 'gain you zero'? Bet you masturbate.

Piss the hell off. I like Christmas. Don't be so pompous.

"bad reads" Define bad reads. Please do so without using your opinion as if it were authority.

You mean like Newton did?

And many aphorisms, if not most, are simply stupid.
I love how people referring to "successful" matriarchies always wind up pointing to primitive cultures.
This from an AC. Very worthwhile observation, especially with not cite.
Oh the hell they do. That's simply bullshit.
A point you seem to be missing is the games they want to play are not to be decided by others.
"One is discomfort, the other is dirty intent." Both done by assholes.
Might not have been a peep sight, but there was indeed a sighting mechanism.
"should someone else come to power in the US that didn't like the freedom they'd just get rid of it anyway" - This is simply a facile argument and should be treated as such.
If that was supposed to be facetious, it missed.
