So the real complaint is that in order for him to continue to be "better" than everyone else, he has to continue to raid to stay ahead of other people, since now it's fairly simple for anyone to catch up to the point he's already at.
Well, that's an inherent property of the level cap. After you reach it, there is no real distinction between you who have been there for a year, and me, who just got there. Nothing to prevent me from getting the same stuff you have without going through the same long process you have.
On the other hand, it's in Blizzard's enlightened self-interest to make sure the newcomers can almost catch up to the veterans. It keeps both groups going.
Sometimes, a sugar pill really could save your life. However, the other 99 times out of 100, the real medical treatment is what gives you the best chance of a cure.
Yup. But if the sugar pill can save your life and the medical treatment gives up on you, would you take it? Would you call other people stupid for taking it?
I'll go easy on you because you clearly have some emotional attachment to the notion that those con artists can do what you describe they do.
I don't know if any of them helped. Maybe it was the act of not giving up that triggered the placebo effect. Fact is, I don't care. He proved the official story wrong. We should strive to understand how these things work when they do work, not write them off because we can prove they're lying.
let me say quite publicly that chiropractors are frauds, along with naturopaths, healing touch types and all the other absurd lying pieces of worthless trash out there who profit off of the superstition and naivety of those with more money than brains.
Wow, what arrogance. Who the fuck are you to say that those people did not heal anyone? My dad lasted five years longer with his cancer than the doctor told him he would, after having two thirds of his liver and his right lung removed. When you are going to die in horrible pain, you stop giving a shit about "truth" and "science", and start looking for anything that works.
We still don't know which one of those "absurd lying pieces of worthless trash" delayed his death this much. For a couple of years it seemed like he healed completely. Maybe it was the placebo effect, who knows. But do you think we care? When you live with someone who should've been dead for 3 years already, you tend to look a bit differently at medical science.
When confronted with the fact that he sold city property to two of his friends for really cheap, he said that it was "only two out of hundreds of deals". I guess it's OK to break the law if you only do it a couple percent of the time?
I wish he was Hungarian. I don't know of a single state property being sold without corruption involved since the Soviet army moved out.
They do not have genes. They are genes, wrapped in some proteins. And it's not even their own "genes", just an RNA chain that confuses another cell. The fact that the host's reproduction mechanism is not perfect is not a requirement for life.
They require a host cell in order to reproduce, but so do some bacteria. It's a fuzzy line.
No, it's not. Hint: bacteria contain moving parts and perform actions in order to survive.
Seriously, people, anyone who has read comic books knows that strange scientific experiments involving lasers, quantum mechanics and viruses can only lead to an acute case of superheroitis.
Misleading headlines are more likely, though. Virii are not living things.
The question of free will is one of whether we can change motivation or merely observe it.
Umm, no. You can't change motivation. The best you can do is to provide reasons (conscious or otherwise) for a stronger one.
It has predictive power over what happens in the "black box" of other minds, regardless of whether it's an accurate model of how those minds really work.
Now this is just plain confusing. We use the term "black box" when we don't care about how it works or what happens inside it, only how the input relates to the output. Trying to predict it makes it at least reverse engineering. And the "predictive power" is wild guessing at most. Ever tried figuring out what a woman wants?
Besides, raids on suspected copyright infringers are nothing new. There have been similar raids on The Pirate Bay, and Sony certainly operates on a comparable scale. That is not some school kid who shares a few albums on his computer.
Things like that happen everywhere. Unfortunately Google Translate fails horribly (for example, the Hungarian word "lett" means both Latvian and was/became).

Very unlikely that there will be any dolphins in 10 million years.
So long, and thanks for all the fish!
I want GNDE.
I believe the procedure is as follows:
1. Get someone to drink before you.
2. Wait for them to die.

And I have yet to meet a british woman that didn't have an overgrown bush.
Try looking under 40. I've lived there for almost a year and didn't meet one of them who didn't think it was natural to shave.

This is like that $8m study that found out men think differently than women.
On the other hand, it kinda defeats the purpose of taking a shower to use a dirty shower head. Except if you take someone else there with you.
No kidding. Mind telling me what TFA actually says?
You mean you actually care? I'm just here to make fun of comments and the occasional first post.
I wish they would stop taking names from Star Wars.

According to this article your lifetime chance of dying in a car crash is 1 in 83.
Not mine. I sit in a car about three times a year.
To be fair, do any phones offer anti-phishing on the device?
Do users of any other phone need it?
Nothing at all wrong with not bathing for weeks at a time and growing a beard. Nothing at all...
You have plenty of time for hygiene while waiting for Gentoo to compile.

Like "US law doesn't apply in Mexico"? Yeah, those sneaky bastards always think of something.
Since most people can't write, there's no point in having them touch type.
Maybe we should fix education as a whole, not just add a new item to the list teachers can fail to teach.
Exactly.
